Rand Paul just shat on the dems and rinos $40 Billion Ukraine Aid Gibsme.

Daily Caller: Rand Paul Just Hit The Brakes On $40 Billion Ukraine-Aid Package.

Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul stymied efforts by the Senate to pass a $40 billion military and humanitarian aid package for Ukraine.

Paul blocked the votes Thursday, objecting to an amendment vote on his proposal by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Republican Leader Mitch McConnell.

The Kentucky senator wants the aid bill’s language to be changed to require an inspector general to oversee spending on Ukraine. Schumer and McConnell’s offer would have required Paul’s provision to get 60 votes in order for the amendment to the bill to occur, according to The Hill.

Under the Senate’s rules, it only takes one senator to object, the outlet reported.

Schumer blasted Paul, saying the senator was acting as if it was “my way or the highway.”

"Schumer blasted Paul, Schumer blasted Paul." Oh - it's different now, eh, from when Schumer blocked John Cornyn and Richard Blumenthal's bi-partisan Prescription drug bill from passing. Oh, but's different now, huh Chucky. Tough shit. Seethe. Cope.

McConnell doing his usual worthless, spineless performance of a politician. Step aside Mitch and let a real Conservative do your job.

Good for Senator Paul.

I hope this bill dies. It shouldn't have gotten this far, it shouldn't have ever been created.

Lindsey Graham should have walked away from Richard Blumenthal. Red Flag laws touted as the cure-all.

The Blaze: Lindsey Graham reaches deal with anti-gun Dem to propose 'red flag' bill.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has teamed up with gun-control advocate Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and reached an agreement to propose legislation encouraging more states to adopt "red flag" laws in the wake of two horrific mass murders.

Sen. Blumenthal confirmed his partnership with Graham via Twitter on Monday, after calling for "immediate Congressional action." Blumenthal also called for action from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), saying, "Senator McConnell: lead or get out of the way. Call us back to the Capitol to do our job."

We'll see where Mitch McConnell takes this. Hopefully, nowhere. Why would anyone partner with, or trust, Blumenthal?

Lefty Liars: Richard Blumenthal did not serve in Vietnam.

AG William Barr PWNS Libs in today's Senate Hearing.

AG William Barr PWNED both DEM Senators Richard Blumenthal and the covetous Kamela Harris, one of the 937 DEM 2020 candidates running for president.

It's obvious from their questioning of Mr. Barr that neither Blumenthal or Harris have read the 400-plus page report of their Beloved-Hated-Beloved-Hated-Beloved-now Ambivalent-soon to be hated again-Patron Saint Robert Mueller.

In the clip, Blumenthal is seated behind the nameplate of Hawaii's DEM Senator Crazy Mazie Hirono. Harris managed to locate the right seating placement - good for her! Well...someone likely helped her find the way there.

Business Insider via AOL: Dems tell William Barr he should resign.

It's amazing (not really) at how quickly The Libs demand someone - in this case AG Barr - resign, when, like misbehaving, petulant children, the Dems don't get their way.

How many years did we hear from The Libs that, "we'll have to wait until The Mueller Report is concluded"?

Mueller finally wraps it up. The Libs didn't like that Barr held a news conference prior to releasing Mueller's findings. Had Barr not had a press conference, he'd have been accused of lacking transparency and attempting to obfuscate his interpretations on Mueller's Report. Barr was in a No-Win situation - as is anyone when it comes to dealing with Liberals - no matter what he did or didn't say, or do or didn't do, prior to releasing Mueller's report.

A much less redacted Mueller report is available for these elected public SERVANTS to read, yet it's reported only Rep. Doug Collins, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, and Sen. Lindsey Graham, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, opted to view it.

Why haven't The Libs read it? Because it contradicts the illusionary story they so desperately want to believe.

Because the results of Mueller's investigation didn't clearly prove, "Trump = Guilty", The Libs lost interest in it. Instead, they pursue odious and loathsome personal attacks against anyone who won't play with them in their fictional narrative world that doesn't exist. Because what they wanted was something Mueller couldn't authenticate, not even circumstantially.

The NY Post: Dems’ pathetic posturing at Barr hearing wasted everyone’s time. Well, this is what Libs do best; waste time. When they're not deflecting onto others what they are guilty of themselves and busy covering up their own ethical and legal infractions.

Barr won't appear at Thursday's House panel. Good! All of these Libs can pound sand. Tons of desert sand. And Class 5 gravel.
 
It appears it's still good market-timing for getting into popcorn commodities.
