Rand Paul Pleads for Federal Aid After Years of Denying Aid to Everyone Else


Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, who has voted against every single federal disaster relief package for the last 10 years, including help for victims of Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Sandy, and the 9/11 victims fund - has now hurriedly dashed off a letter to President Joe Biden, pleading for “expeditious federal relief aid” to victims of a deadly tornado that struck a 200-mile path through his state.

Gee, so Rand Paul is now asking for some of that “socialist” federal aid?  No kidding?  Why, it’s almost as if sending out our “thoughts and prayers” just isn’t enough when it comes to his state.  Well, then - I assume having Joe Biden fly in there and toss a bunch of paper towels at disaster victims - wouldn’t cut it either then?  Funny, because Republicans sure seemed to think that was all the folks in Puerto Rico really needed/deserved.


Of course, President Biden will do the right thing, and come to the aid of those communities - because he isn’t the heartless, soulless, Social Darwinist that libertarian Rand Paul is.  If he were, he’d probably be claiming this disaster is what Paul and his Republican pals like to refer to as a “false flag.”  A “false flag” is anything Republicans feel doesn’t fit into that little socio-political-ideological box they’ve been selling to the masses.


You see, if Joe Biden were really like Rand Paul and the Republicans, he’d be out there claiming these tornados are simply a hoax, “designed by Republicans to make his presidency look bad.”  He would then decide to not only ignore all this horrific tornado damage, but also imply that these tornadoes were “artificially created” by Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell - in an ultra-secret “Moscow tornado lab.”


Now, we on the left are different.  We have something called “empathy,” which Republicans consider a “snowflake trait.”  Here’s an example - 70 people died in Kentucky due to this tragic tornado event.  On the other hand, over 11,500 people in Kentucky have died from COVID, yet Rand Paul is still trying to have Dr. Fauci arrested for doing all he can to prevent the virus from spreading.  Of course, it’s not really Sen. Paul’s fault, for as we all know, math isn’t really a strong suit for many Republicans.


Now, wasn’t it Jesus who said "Disaster relief for ME, but NOT for thee.”  Wait, my mistake - that was Pat Robertson!  Put another way “I got mine, now screw you!”  Anyway, there’s apparently nothing quite like a natural disaster that almost knocks on your front door - to turn a “Libertarian into a Socialist.”  All I can say is, lucky for Sen. Paul that Joe Biden isn’t the “Soup Nazi” telling him “No socialism for you, Rand Paul!”  Anyway, all I’m really saying is, in a perfect world, Joe Biden would take care of disaster relief, and Rand Paul's neighbor - would take care of Rand Paul.

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War:  In a fiery speech, arguing that impeachment would disenfranchise Donald Trump’s supporters, defense lawyer David Schoen is being harshly criticized for his thinly veiled threat - warning that impeaching the former president could very well result in even more violence from Donald Trump’s easily enraged base. So, if I understand Schoen’s argument correctly, it sounds as if he’s implying that “if you bring Trump to trial, then that angry, violent mob who attacked the Capitol, wanting to hang Vice President Pence and kill various members of Congress, might get really, really mad again - and there will be reprisals.”   You know, we’re talking stuff like ”Nice country you have here - be a damn shame if something were to happen to it!”  In other words, Schoen’s trying to incite violence, in defense of a man who’s facing trial - over inciting violence.  They don’t teach you that in law school.   Now, is it jus...

Trump Returns to Do White House Coronavirus Briefings Solo

Trump Returns to Do White House Coronavirus Briefings Solo:  Three months after he abandoned the daily virus briefings and attempted to turn the country’s attention to what he described as the “great American comeback,” President Trump took the lectern in the White House briefing room alone on Tuesday, free to say whatever he wanted without any distractions from the usual bunch “sciencey nerds” behind him. And, in a rare moment of candor, Trump reluctantly admitted that the spread of the coronavirus will likely get worse before it gets better, and that people should probably wear masks.  Well said Mr President!  The fact is, most of us are already rather optimistic things will begin to get better - sometime after November 3rd. Ironically, now that Trump is finally admitting the virus is spreading fast and that people should wear masks, you’d think most of those armed militia thugs, whom Trump egged on to to out and “liberate” those Democratic run states from t...

Former Trump National Security Advisor Warns ‘Deep State’ Putting COVID Vaccine in Salad Dressing

Former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was fired and then prosecuted for lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia before being ultimately pardoned by Trump, is now sliding further into the QAnon conspiracy world, telling the hosts of an online show dedicated to COVID and election fraud conspiracies - that he has heard the “Deep State” is attempting to “sneak coronavirus vaccine into salad dressing.” Now, I have no idea where Gen. Flynn got this information, but my guess is it was probably a text from Mike Lindell or Rudy Giuliani, alerting him to the “hidden dangers of salad dressing.”  Or, it could have been Nicki Minaj for all I know.  After all, she does have another cousin who has a friend in Timbuktu.  Word on the street has it the “Deep State” will initially start with “Ranch Dressing” to vaccinate the cowboys, then move on to “Russian Dressing,” to get the rest of Trump’s supporters. Anyway, I hate to rain on Gen. Flynn’s conspiracy the...
