President Trump played a round of golf with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) while he was in New Jersey this weekend, the White House said.

The GOP senator was expected to ask Trump this weekend to lift sanctions on top Russian officials, which would allow them to visit the United States later this year.

Paul, who has become one of Trump’s most vocal allies on Russia, took a trip to Moscow earlier this month. There, he met with Konstantin Kosachev, the chairman of the Russian Federation Council Committee on Foreign Affairs.

The golf outing also came days after Trump revoked the security clearance of former CIA director John Brennan. Paul had lobbied Trump to make that move and celebrated when Trump did.

1. Russian sanctions lifted by the end of the month.

2. The Republicans have been visiting Russia recently...

to learn firsthand what the term "useful idiot" means.

If Democrats win back the House and Senate - and all else fails - we might need to keep "useful idiot" in OUR lexicon for a while.

3. Da, and Putin already knows about it:

#Russia's state TV reports that Trump played a short
game of golf with Rand Paul, "whom the president
loves and with whom he enjoys spending time." Of
course, they point out that Rand recently traveled to Russia.

6. Heeding Russian Oligarch constituents for Election Fixer Elixr

They're not hiding it so you know something's going on in November

13. Agreed. Putin needs it done his way, and can't get it done without his people working inside.

8. Everything's legal in New Jersey

9. Paul relayed Putin's walking orders to trump out on the golf course where there are no hidden...

mics or recording devices...much like John Gotti used to do on "walk abouts" in Queens so the feds couldn't listen in.

12. So much damage done to this great country!!!

MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[watoos]

14. I'm guessing that

when Russia hacked the RNC they must have got some "goodies" on Rand too.

15. A "quick round of golf" lasts 3-4 HOURS.

Nothing quick about it. Shitler and squirrel-top spent hours together trying to get their story straight.

[Obvious85]

16. Rand delivered Putin's latest commands to Trump

It's the only communication that they feel is safe. How can Republicans support obvious traitors?

17. Double dose of bad hair day

18. In Los Angeles in the 1990s they played "go-go golf."

You hit your ball and then ran to make the next shot. The reward was that if you completed the 18 holes within a certain time your fee for that round was reduced. The purpose was to let more people play during the day.

It only lasted one year.

The image of Donnie Two Scoops playing a "quick round" of go-go golf made me giggle. It reminded me of this scene from the original "Jumanji":

19. Paul also was the one who made the media rounds saying

that John Brennen's security clearance should be revoked, iirc, within a day or two Trump ran with it.
I doubt that he was Trump's messenger, more like after Paul said it he automatically did become Trump's new best buddy.

Both of them repulse me.

21. Of Course It's A Quick Round of Golf

When every 30 footer is a gimme, the game goes really fast.

[NCjack]

22. Just long enough for Rand to give Donald

an envelope of roubles and for Donald to give Rand a flash drive with the latest NATO plans to deliver to Vlad.

[ProfessorGAC]

24. And Give Them Both Time To Cheat

We have proof that PINO cheats at golf. We have circumstantial evidence that Rand is a likely cheater.

23. As long as you can get past the Windmill and the Clown Mouth

it doesn't take very long at all.
