Paul is fine with the whole “repeated violations of the Constitution” thing and all the masked thugs abducting innocent people off the street, but disinviting him from a picnic? _This will not stand!_ ---

Oh, no! The guy who tried to enact a Muslim travel ban, whom we supported, is now blocking us Muslims from traveling to our Muslim-majority countries!

He’s got so many great quotes, doesn’t he? ETA: Reading more about him… “he was an outspoken opponent of [organized religion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organized_religion), [theism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theism), [censorship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship), [populism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Populism), and [representative democracy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representative_democracy), the last of which he viewed as a system in which inferior men dominated their superiors.” I might have disagreed with that last part, once. ---

[Another day, another pro-family Republican pedophile:](https://nypost.com/2025/06/12/us-news/gop-rep-rj-may-distributed-hundreds-of-child-porn-files-under-username-joebidennn69-feds/) “Robert “RJ” May, 38, a member of the House of Representatives in the Palmetto State, was arrested at his Lexington County home Wednesday on a 10-count indictment charging him with distributing child sex abuse material, court documents showed.” He traded files using the screen name “joebidennnn69”. These are the guys who called Biden a pedophile. Every accusation, a confession. Thankfully for his future in the Republican party, some of the victims are apparently female: “On one of those seized devices, May allegedly kept several videos of himself on trips to Colombia engaging in sex with three women who appeared to be underage and were paid, a DHS official testified.” I’ve got the campaign slogan: _“RJ May! Isn’t gay!”_ ---
