QuoteRand Paul today: "It's time for us to resist. They can't arrest all of us .. No one should follow the CDC." He then says he will introduce amendments to defund any govt agency that seeks to enforce CDC guidelines, including schools.

It's a bizarre two minute video.  :wacko:

In Kentucky you can actually read "might oughta" off a teleprompter.

It's America. You can be a doctor and not remember that you weren't admitted to West Point.

I am curious which CDC guidelines and which ones would actually get me arrested. And do you have to intentionally go against everything the CDC proposes to get your funding? Like if the CDC says the people with the flu should stay home should you intentionally pick up people with the flu and cram them into your offices in order to please Rand Paul?

The Minsky Moment

The GOP hates America :(

They really like viruses though.  All the Democrats need to do is put up a deadly pathogen for office; the Republicans will do whatever they can to help it.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

The Biden Administration should rename the CDC to the Centers for Disease Contagion, and force the Republicans to vote to double the infrastructure spending in order to double the contagion funding.

Stop and Frisk is okay but a mass mandate is not?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Because that only affects people who are young, homeless or black.

I'm not a big fan of Dan Crenshaw and I'm not generally comparing him to McCain. But this reminds me of when McCain had to contradict a birther during the campaign - and we know what happened next:

Rand Paul's not dumb, he's just crazy.  Lots of smart people are crazy.  Remember that dude in A Beautiful Mind?  Smart, yet crazy.

I thought about saying "he's crazy or just pandering to fools", yeah.  But I really am convinced there is something wrong with him mentally.  Same with Tom Massie, one of our Reps who constantly says and does crazy shit as well.
