Rand Paul refuses to put on a mask

[Swede]

In a packed Senate chamber with colleagues / staff just feet away from him, Rand Paul refuses to put on a mask, putting the health of everyone around him at risk. So Sherrod Brown calls him out

1. Why is he allowed to stay in the chamber?

[bottomofthehill]

2. Why does he not wear a mask

Because he is a selfish fuck

[Coleman]

11. He has said since he has been vaccinated

He doesn't have to.

Even though real doctors don't know if a vaccinated person can carry COVID and transmit it.

Got my second shot yesterday. Kinda achey and tired today.

3. Paraphrasing from Breaking Bad Season 4, Episode 13 (Face Off)

"You want to legislate with a broken arm? Put your fucking mask on."

[notinkansas]

4. Anybody who is too dumb to wear a mask

is surely too dumb to legislate. Throw him out of the room.

5. Yet more "case-in-point," why his frustrated-to-point-of-erupting neighbor deserves pardon

I can certainly imagine Paul pushing even the likes of Mother Theresa to the breaking point.

[BComplex]

7. Kentucky sure knows how to pick 'em.

WTF is wrong with that place?

[central scrutinizer]

6. Arrogance plus ignorance equals

Flaming asshole

[My Pet Orangutan]

8. Randy boy has already had Covid.

He is setting a bad example but won't be shedding any virus.

[magicarpet]

9. Putting people at the risk of Covid and spreading a pandemic,...

.... is my Right as an AmeriKKKan.

Freedumb,... Freedumb,.. Freedumb,

USA,... USA,... USA !

10. He's obviously a quack doctor too. Any doctor would recognize the dangers to others

in what this ass is doing. Competent eye doctors would clearly recognize these dangers. He's a damn stupid fool.

[PatSeg]

14. I think the only reason he is a senator

is because he was a piss poor doctor.

[RKP5637]

15. Yeah, most likely. ... Now, as well, a piss poor senator. These guys are so mentally deranged. n/t

[PatSeg]

18. I look at so many republican members of congress

and realize they are not qualified to do anything in the private sector, so they run for public office. Its a grifter's dream job.

[RKP5637]

20. And they tell their fool supporters anything they want to hear so as to get elected. And we just got

rid of the master grifter of all time.

[PatSeg]

21. Remember Joe Walsh from Illinois?

That guy had never succeeded at anything in his life and owed over $100,000 in back child support. Having run out of options, he probably looked at all the Tea Party (later Freedom Caucus) politicians on TV and thought, "Shit man, I can do THAT!" Unlike many, he didn't last, but we still have some screwballs who can barely read or write serving for years, even decades.

I look at people like Kevin McCarthy and can't imagine him making a living at much of anything. He's not articulate enough to even be a carnival barker or snake oil salesman.

Yes as you say, all they have to do is tell the voters what they want to hear and put on a flashy show now and then, to make it look like they are really fighting for their constituents. Then spend most of their time fundraising. What con artist could pass up such a cushy job?

[RKP5637]

25. I'm so glad to have Joe Biden and people with him trying to do something ... rather than tRump

strutting around trying to look/act like a dictator and surrounded by idiots and sycophants.

[PatSeg]

29. Same here

As we look back on the Trump years and compare it to what we have now, Trump just looks more outrageous than he seemed at the time, which was already pretty horrible. It is harder to fully comprehend a situation when you are in the middle of it and living it day-to-day. I remember often being so exhausted, I just couldn't absorb anymore, but I was determined to never get used to it, as the new normal.

Some presidents start to look better over time, but Trump will only getting worse. Meanwhile, there is so much we still don't know.

[RKP5637]

32. And it's so refreshing not to be hearing Trump's whining, obnoxious, threatening and ugly voice. n/t

[PatSeg]

33. Oh I know

Every once and awhile, someone shows his picture or plays a brief clip and I am reminded that he was every bit as horrible as I'd thought, maybe even worse. No wonder everyone was so stressed out 24/7.

[shanti]

27. About Kev Mac

What's up with the voters in Bikersfield? Are they that tone deaf?

[PatSeg]

31. I don't know

I'm assuming it is a very red area, quite unlike a lot of places in California. I remember driving through Bakersfield years ago and it felt like some rural Midwest town. Meanwhile, it is hard to see how such a bungling idiot could rise to a leadership position in congress. He's been putting his foot in his mouth for years.

I wonder if Dems have ever tried to run a viable candidate in his district.

[spanone]

12. rand paul is an insufferable asshole

[bluestarone]

13. So was he removed from the floor?

[VA_Jill]

16. Then he should be

thrown out of the chamber until he consents to put one on. Period. The end. Fini. Finito.

[turtleblossom]

17. He can still catch an invariant

[StClone]

19. For your viewing pleasure Rand Paul now entertains us with that Great Libertarian mindset

[ooky]

22. He's a dick.

It's no wonder his neighbor kicked his ass.

[ecstatic]

23. Get his ass in check or kick him out! FFS! nt

[lindysalsagal]

24. If the rest of us disregard work rules we get fired. Why don't legislators?

He's endangering the whole country by setting that example.

[Billytee]

26. What would you expect from a tea party candidate?

[MizLibby]

28. Don't they have a sergeant at arms or bouncer

that can remove his ass?

[sarcasmo]

30. Every Rand Paul story makes me appreciate his neighbor.
