McConnell and Reid both express condolences to the Biden family.
Then . . .
Harry Reid verbally eviscerated McConnell, held nothing back.
It's on.
And now, episode 43983987 of the Rand Paul Grandstanding Show, otherwise known as being such a jackass that no one will pay attention to you even on the extremely rare occasion when you might accidentally be right about something.

This is tantamount to you or me being fined one penny for mowing down a bunch of kids in a crosswalk. The fine means less than nothing. And there are those who think that corporations don't run the country.
Did anyone else stay up late last night
and watch Kentucky v. Kentucky in the Senate?
Stranger, even, than the "Green Eggs and Ham" episode.

The left is so wrong on the Trans-Pacific Partnership

But then we have Warren stating with a straight face that handing negotiating authority to Obama would “give Republicans the very tool they need to dismantle Dodd-Frank.”
Huh? Obama swatted down the remark as wild, hypothetical speculation, noting he engaged in a “massive” fight with Wall Street to get the reforms passed. “And then I sign a provision that would unravel it?” he told political writer Matt Bai.
...
Trade agreements have a thousand moving parts. The United States can’t negotiate with the other countries if various domestic interests are pouncing on the details. That’s why every president has been given fast-track authority over the past 80 years or so.
Except Obama.
