Rand Paul vows to drag out Senate effort to pass foreign aid package
The Senate is working to pass a $95.3 billion foreign aid bill with assistance for Ukraine and Israel, but it may be days until a final vote as GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky has vowed to use arcane and complex chamber rules to slow the pace of passing a bill.
The Senate is working to pass a $95.3 billion foreign aid bill with assistance for Ukraine and Israel, but it may be days until a final vote as GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky is using arcane and complex chamber rules to slow down the process into the weekend.
The chamber cleared a critical 60-vote threshold to advance the bill on Thursday, and took another procedural vote Friday night. But without an agreement from all 100 senators to speed up the process and swiftly pass the legislation, the Senate is expected to work through the weekend with a final vote next week.
“I think we should stay here as long as it takes,” Paul told CNN’s Manu Raju on Thursday. “If it takes a week or a month, I’ll force them to stay here to discuss why they think the border of Ukraine is more important than the US border.”
Rand Paul, as in, went to Moscow to hand-deliver a letter from Trump to Putin Rand Paul.
Got a source for that? Not that I doubt it but I hadn’t heard about that one. If true, that’s absolutely fucked.
Rand Paul is the source:
"I was honoured to deliver a letter from President Trump to President Vladimir Putin’s administration. The letter emphasized the importance of further engagement in various areas including countering terrorism, enhancing legislative dialogue and resuming cultural exchanges," Paul wrote in a Twitter post.
Rand Paul as in Putin’s poodle Rand Paul
If one single motherfucker here comes to defend Rand Paul for this, remember that he also did the same thing to an anti-lynching bill.

Rand Paul:
“If it takes a week or a month, I’ll force them to stay here to discuss why they think the border of Ukraine is more important than the US border.”
Also Rand Paul:
Votes against the strictest border bill ever that Republicans literally were asking for
Rand Paul is funded by Russian 🇷🇺 dark money—so no surprise.
They probably even boosted his dad's presidential campaign https://www.thedailybeast.com/louis-anslow-asks-did-russia-putin-and-jesse-benton-astroturf-the-libertarian-ron-paul-revolution
Putins sock puppet. Rand Paul can’t let tucker hog all daddy’s attention.
"they think the border of Ukraine is more important than the US border"? Does he have memory worse than a goldfish, that he's already forgotten the whole deal that his party just recently decided to kill?
He hasn't forgotten. He just doesn't give a fuck.
These people are not operating in good faith.
Haven't been for decades. The corporate news media just makes it sound like they mean it. Even they know they're full of shit.
Oh look, the official Senate troll is at it again.
His neighbor should have taught him a more thorough lesson.
To be fair, it seemed like an adequately painful lesson, but Rand Paul's brain works in mysterious ways (probably due the worms).
It would be nice if he got his ass kicked by his neighbor again.
Let me talk to him. I'll explain it.
Blyat!
The Senate was in in session until 8pm last night and just knocked off for the day. Not too many colleagues impressed with Rand's performance. Fetterman called him a peckerhead in a tweet.
Fetterman would know
How interesting, there's lots of people out there looking to drag Rand Paul.
