So good for Rand Paul, I guess....

In case you have missed it, JD Vance swears regularly on his official twitter account. Yesterday he wrote "I don't give a shit" about his administration committing war crimes. We are so through the looking glass that that comment barely caused a ripple.

It did, however, prompt Rand Paul to school jaydee : "JD 'I don't give a shit' Vance says killing people he accuses of war crime is the highest and best use of the military. Did he ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? Did he ever wonder what might happen if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation? What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial."

Credit where credit is due, Sen. Paul. I think his use of JD "I don't give a shit" Vance should be embraced by Dems.

feels free to write "I don't give a shit" about a very serious policy matter, and the corporate media doesn't even blink. They (R's) are using gutter level language and the Dems are still afraid to sound rude. We need to step it up.

“We’re going to go on offense not just on defense. Maximum lethality, not tepid legality. Violent effect, not politically correct. We’re going to raise up warriors, not just defenders”.
