I mean the guy is a Libertarian. I think it’s safe to say that he thinks the US military should only be used to defend the country, as in literally defend the continental US.

13796

Except he supports authoritarians. I feel like Rand Paul is just as utterly without principles as anyone else in the GOP these days.

13797

Yep, he’s “Libertarian” when it suits him but happily authoritarian when that suits him instead.

13798

Also, Libertarian vs. libertarian.

Actually, it’s ephebophilia vs. (roughly) maximizing personal freedom

Oh God please don’t derail into argument about what libertarianism is…

Worth noting that that exchange was after Rand was pulling the Kremlin line that NATO expansion is to blame for Russia’s invasion.

Liberty is accepting your lack of sovernity and surrendering to the authoritarian regime who claims to own your country.

I assure you, we’ve found the Scotsman at issue at long last.

13801

It’s not a state, it’s a commonwealth!

13802

Applause.

13803

Seriously now, what is this chode’s deal?

13804

He’s an imbecile?

I’m pretty sure that’s it. He’s just a fucking idiot, who has survived this long on privilege alone.

13805

Seems like a good stunt to make 2nd amendment types like him more.

13806

I guess maybe, my main question was why he is suddenly fucking up every third day? The coke thing, the crossdressing thing, the two weapons offenses thing, is he just demented?

13807

Dude seems to idolize a ideology that would’ve likely killed him off, so… yeah probably.

Edit:

13808

Yup, I couldn’t stand Ron’s Dad Rand Paul, but he had at least had some principles. I remember him voting against hurricane Aid to Texas after a hurricane hit, because of principals.

I think right now in the Senate it is 3 way tie for worse, between Cruz, Hawley, and Paul. The House GOP nut-case are crazier, but the Senate ones are smart and more dangerous.

Rand cosplay’s as his father.

But it’s not a good cosplay, it’s more like this:

I just see a man who is living life on his own terms.

Of course the Lets Go Brandon meme coin…

Immediately following Brown’s Dec. 30 announcement, the value of all LGBCoin in circulation eclipsed $570 million. By the end of January, the market cap of the meme coin dropped to $0.

13812

You may not like it, but that’s what peak performance looks like.

Well, judging by his newsletter, they’re some pretty terrifying principles.
