Yes, I saw that on CNN. Fauci was great! ---

Rand Paul used that sound bite to blast on his Twitter. Except he edited out all of Fauci’s parts. ---

I know that is sarcasm, but even sarcasm should have some limits. No woman _ever_ has called Rand Paul awesome. Steve Urkel called Rand Paul a dork. Howdy Doody in his carrying case has more brains and more charisma than Rand Paul. Peewee Herman being led out of the movie theater in handcuffs was still cooler than Rand Paul has ever been in his life. ---

No Rand Paul Pit thread is complete without his classic explanation why mandatory childhood vaccination is abhorrent: “The state doesn’t own your children,” Paul said in an interview with CNBC’s “Closing Bell.” “Parents own the children”. ---

You listen to him talk and you have to wonder how on earth he even got into med school. I wonder how he even graduated from high school. He has the dangerous combination of ignorance and arrogance, utterly convinced that he has never been wrong in his life and that he has the duty to tell the rest of us how wrong we all are. But he will be Senator for life from Kentucky because that’s what Kentuckians do- elect worthless pieces of shit to the Senate. ---

Even Governor Disaster, I mean DeSantis, has joined the vaccine choir. Ditto Sean Hannity. Good for all of these guys and I’m glad they’ve seen the light. But that doesn’t mean the Moscow Mitch is more good than bad, not remotely. Now he has indicated that he’s going to block raising the debt ceiling, which is always an issue whenever a Democrat is in the White House. ---
