Rand Paul says he is going to boycott the "sham impeachment" trial

[FM123]

I think he should do exactly that, and get some of his repug senator buddies to join him. As long as we have a quorum, we can proceed (and convict). And this will be perfect cover for the cowards who want to but are to afraid to convict - just stay home and "boycott". Do it Rand.

Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

32. +1!

[Vivienne235729]

2. Ssssssh! Lets encourage them to show the libs.

[RockRaven]

3. This asshole would skip every day but then show up and vote to acquit...

Don't count his boycott as a promise to abstain from voting.

[Budi]

4. DO IT!!! and convince about 20 of your rotten fellow Senators to join you

Stand your ground, Rand. Be a no-show 👍

[comradebillyboy]

5. Rand Paul is the epitome of everything wrong with

the libertarian ethos. He's a major league asshole whose incapable of interacting with other people.

[dchill]

26. Yes, he represents well.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Good. He should take more of the GOPers with him

because two-thirds of the senators present are needed to convict.

[struggle4progress]

7. He's one of the Russian stooges

[Blue Owl]

8. Comrand Paul

[msfiddlestix]

9. Good. one less treasonous sonofanasshole to vote against it.

[onenote]

10. He'll boycott it up until the day of the vote.

Then he'll show up and vote against conviction.

You can take it to the bank.

[TomDaisy]

11. Rand Paul is busy doxxing whistleblowers

[Hermit-The-Prog]

12. Go home and yell at your neighbor, Rancid Paul.

[Cha]

13. bye Fucker

[sarcasmo]

14. 1 down 16 to go.

[Jirel]

15. Go for it.

Don’t waste everyone’s time bloviating day in and day out.

[Qutzupalotl]

16. Are you listening, Lindsey?

[gopiscrap]

17. good I think the entire republican party should boycott

the trial and the vote on conviction (do stick up for your guy trump by not participating) in what you call a sham impeachment

[King_Klonopin]

18. Because he doesn't want his vote to be on the Congressional record. Cowardly opportunist. n/t

[Warpy]

19. Good, that's one vote against removal down the drain

so I hope he has a good, long sulk over the whole thing.

[BigmanPigman]

20. Good, get lost asshole!

[Duppers]

21. Yay! Because..."Only the ones present vote!"

[StarfishSaver]

[LeftInTX]

Works for me.

[LudwigPastorius]

25. What an Aynus.

[SunSeeker]

27. Cool.

[SergeStorms]

28. Paul is still firmly attached...

to the alternative reality so many republicans inhabited during the failed Trump administration. Paul is a waste of the elements he's composed of. It amazes me that some people believe him a role model.

[North Shore Chicago]

29. Buh Bye!

Stick a binky in it Rand! He is ALWAYS on the wrong side of humanity and good.

[JHB]

30. "Trial". Dollars to donuts he shows up to vote to acquit.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. But he won't boycott the vote. . . . nt

[BlueStater]

33. Fuck you, Randy.

Take your “sham” shit and shove it right back up your skinny ass.

[Bettie]

34. Sounds like someone is afraid

to vote either way and must 'boycott' to avoid making a choice "For" democracy or "against".

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

35. The court will have a much more pleasant atmosphere

without Raving Rand's dark, angry presence.

[Nexus2]

36. *sigh* Why do we (Ky) keep reelecting these douchebags? [nt]

[lagomorph777]

37. I agree completely. Randumb Paul should get a bunch of his cronies to join him.

[dalton99a]

38. The traitor can stay home

[FSogol]

39. Petulant Senator Refuses to Do His Job!

what's new?

[Paladin]

40. One less flaming asshole at the proceedings?

Once in a great while, Rand Paul does the proper thing. As I type this, I'm confident that he's returned to his usual obnoxious, poorly-dressed and barely groomed, proto-fascist self.

[Jetheels]

41. Rand Paul user of Canadian socialized medicine. And nasty neighbor.

[LAS14]

42. Oh goody! Don't the proportions apply to those present? Won't that mean...

.. that one less Repub is needed to switch?

tia
las

[NYC Liberal]

43. Yup!

[Demsrule86]

44. Good...one less vote needed to convict.

[Warren_Pointe]

45. Crotchhead will still be there to pick up his check.

But, to be fair, he may have some yardwork to take care of.
