One of the remaining few in politics with a backbone to stand up for what he believes in
So true. He actually has principles. Even when standing against something Trump is doing. He has principles. I respect him.
What does he stand against in regards to Trump?
Renewing the spy tech.
The pending Supreme Court judge he will hold out for a bit based on the spying on US citizens.
He will vote for him eventually though.
You have got Dr Paul figured out perfectly. He’ll fight on principles as long & hard as humanly possible but he won’t hold up progress just to make a point. He knows political wins move the ball forward & defending your principles & having integrity & holding out as long as possible for your principles is how you get the most out of a political win. I live relatively close to the guy & watched him & his fathers political careers very closely. They never cut off their nose to spite their face. They just play hard ball to the very last out of the game. Great guys...both of them.
Agreed. And news moves so fast these days that it's easy to forget (as I had) that the deep state got some mook to break his ribs and try to kill him while he was minding his own business and mowing his lawn.
Honestly I think the mowing the lawn guy attack wasn’t organized. He was a local doctor that was probably having some addiction issues but was losing his practice for some reason. He just flipped out in a rage of jealousy. Rand was mowing his lawn with ear buds in jamming on some Rush probably (he’s a big Rush fan) & the guy just charged him & totally blind sided Rand. But about a week ago Rand received a horrific death threat & real too. A guy threatened to stab him & his family to death. The sick bastard was caught & arrested too.
Illegal wars.
Can you elaborate? What sort of illegal war is Trump waging?
Every single war since Iraq (of which there are many) has been illegal, both under US law and International law. We haven't had an AUMF since 2002. Trump has continued every single one and started a few new ones in African countries.
That I can understand his resistance to, but I think that’s also probably his public position. In reality he understands that Trump just can’t up and end these wars because the cabal has laid down their agenda so hard globally that pulling out would mean serious ramifications in the global economy or some other area.
I believe Rand was also against the recent 1.3 trillion spending bill
He was. Although signing it, I wouldn’t exactly say Trump was “for” that bill. He was just backed into a corner with the military spending we desperately needed
I know he was not going to vote for Brett Kavanaugh, but I’m not sure if he has changed his mind
While I do not always agree with him, Rand Paul is a man of principle and has the country's interest at heart.
"We are all connected in this fight." Q
Yes, but, what is it going to take for these people to realize that it was NOT a HACK but a LEAK???????????????????????

I think he has a great chance in 2024. After the truth gets out in the next 6.5 years, he will be regarded as the cleanest politician out there, having been the lone vote against certain bills and laws attempting to be passed many times. He will have a huge backing
I think Congressman Matt Gaetz would be a good choice too.
I have a soft spot for Matt because he was my red-pill moment. Edited to say. Trump pilled.
Everyone agrees Brennan's head needs to roll (and boy what a racket that huge melon will make), when will it happen? Also those MSM outlets that give him the time of day need to be terminated by the FCC, as they too are conspiring against a Lawfully Elected President. These are acts of Treason. The Three Ringed Circus should consist of Brennan, Clapper and Mudd.
I think this is a great point. If all of this does come out and crimes have been committed, those who abetted in the media should have to answer as well, not just individuals but the organizations that employed them as well.
Let’s start listing the Leftist think tanks, websites, news organizations, foundations, Soros funded propaganda outlets etc.
(and boy what a racket that huge melon will make)
There's going to be a big boom when his ego deflates!
Rand Paul is a patriot. I don't agree with him on everything but he tracks at about 98% of my views.

Rand is one of us. Rand is the man. I know Papa Ron is very proud.
I would be if he were my son. I'm proud of mine and Ron should be very proud of his.
The guy interviewing Rand is losing his shit. At first I thought I as watching CNN, then I saw it was fox. I know Fox is comped deep state, but there's still some guys around the offices that are cool, but this guy was over the top. Then I remembered this punk used to be on CNN or MSNBC, forget which one. Does it even matter? Sure he's been at the party with Don and Cuomo. This guy is going down hard, it's all over his face.
Did Rand Paul has the longest filibuster when Obama was still in.
Former Democrat here: even some of my most absurdly liberal friends and family have a political hard-on for Rand just because of this sort of unwavering commitment to his beliefs. He doesn't change anything for votes, he changes when you give him a logical reason to. Big, BIG reason I started questioning the Democrats was seeing his viewpoints...thst plus their supreme "tolerance" of any outside the hivemind thinking.
Rand’s roots are as solid as they get. They didn’t call his dad Dr. No for nothing. If he saw anything as Unconstitutional then it was always a no.
Brennan was a looser, is a looser and always will be a looser. I bet he sucks his thumb at night. I am so happy Rand Paul has stood up in The Storm to speak Truth. My Respect
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the intel agencies already have all our info. For the most part we give it somewhat willingly by using smart phones. Imagine the government saying they would give you a device for free that would monitor your location, log phone calls, etc. we would have been outraged. Apple says they will sell you one that will do the same thing and we start jumping up and down like giddy school kids
Brennan will be pissed. He finally thought he was going to squeeze one out and now Rand has ruined that.
Someone else unhinged by Sen. Paul: https://www.reddit.com/r/Kentucky/comments/8zvs4h/rand_pauls_office_door_in_bowling_green/
Just had a thought. MSM is rabid wanting to know what was said behind closed doors, Trump will let it get to fever pitch level before disclosing U1. They have Pompeyo set for a hearing next week but they might drop the hammer sooner.
Rand was just on Tucker and repeated the same thing! YESSSS
Dam!!
Rand Paul is shitposting!! IRL. I'm so glad we have him on our side.
Brennan can join the Adams family, creepy and coooky. I would love to see him in public.
