Oh, Rand. Rand, Rand Rand. Did you ever think it would get this bad? You thought things had reached a pretty pathetic pass when John McCain said “the senator from Kentucky is working for Vladimir Putin,” back in 2017. You unclipped your mic and threw it on the floor and stalked from the chamber. How dare he? Who does he think he is, a war hero and one of the leaders of the party or something?
But that is a memory to look back on fondly, in Rand Paul’s lexicon, compared to this one. No, this one is going to keep Rand awake at night and God help him when the Lincoln Project or one of those other guys puts this in an attack ad.
I don’t want to say this is the best thing I’ve ever seen but….. https://t.co/GzfXMmPcle

I don’t know who the Ivanka clone with the bleached hair and heavy eyebrows is, but the five seconds of dead air where she waits for Rand Paul to say something and Rand Paul tries to will himself into invisibility, is a classic. The last time I saw a Republican try to go into instant stealth mode like that was Mike Pence at the White House when Trump was bragging that he would shut down the government and Chuck Schumer was laughing in his face.
Another day in America, 2021. I remember when Life In These United States was a cutesy little column in the Reader’s Digest, where people would trade quips over the back fence. This is what it looks like now.
I’m proud of her, too. And I don’t even know her. Priceless!
Getting a hug when I’m feeling down is a distant memory and prospects moving forward aren’t so great. However, THIS is about the next best thing. Something short and sweet that will bring a smile to my face every time I think of it!
