Some of his fellow GOP senators seem to have a few issues with him as well

One retiring Republican lawmaker, Rep. Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania, went further. “When Rand Paul pulls a stunt like this, it easy to understand why it's difficult to be Rand Paul's next door neighbor,” said Dent, referring to the neighbor who assaulted Paul last year, breaking several of his ribs and sending him to the hospital. “The whole delay and filibuster exercise on the budget agreement is utterly pointless.”

And yet the Republicans are still going to go after Medicare and Medicaid. It's OK to cut spending on healthcare but let's go ahead and build a ridiculous wall (on so many levels) and have a Kim Jong Un style parade in DC.

Rand Paul can cram it up his cramhole (movie quote). He voted for that Tax/Healthkill bill. Maybe he's feeling guilty or maybe he sold his soul.

We aren't governed in a dictatorship. Compromises have to me made, that is the essence of democracy. We the People are supposed to be represented. This bipartisan agreement was a total bend over by the Dems. The fact you don't see it that way is beyond me. He got everything he wanted AND got approval for American taxpayers to pay for it. Not a peso in sight.



The $1.6 billion for the stupid wall was year one of the DHS's budget for the idiotic wall. He does not deserve a blank check of American taxpayers money over 10 years until the costs and other factors are analyzed. Did I mention that he is asking for $18 million of American taxpayers money? He is going FAR BEYOND his campaign promise and yet it's still not enough.



He got everything he wanted and then some in that bipartisan agreement. Both parties sucked it up and played the game. He threw his toys out of the pram because Miller told him that his base would flip out over the DACA part. Simple as that. If you could show me his exact proposal he presented to the Gang of Six regarding his repayment of the wall funds he's requesting then I'm all ears. Otherwise keep blindly supporting this wannabe dictator.

So damn frustrating arguing with brainwashed people. He could have had a rally in Bumfudge, Alabama and easily have spun his bigly deal making skills.

*$18 billion

I have a lot of issues with Rand, but he's 100% correct on the hypocrisy.

Apart from him being an utter hypocrite himself, then yeah I agree

By morning Max Boot is going to be a country-over-party hero (joining others like Jenn Rubin) after years of being considered a total neocon nutjob by the left.

Didn't take until morning for life-long Republicans to be branded RINOs for turning on Orange Tweeter, eh?

FWIW I don't think it's a moral imperative at all, and when the left comes at me with moral pleas I tend to discount them anyway.

Wow. What religion is it that you practice?

Perhaps if Kushner had filled in his security documents correct first time, rather than having to amend it three times to add over 100 foreign contacts including meetings with Russians he said he never met, then he'd have clearance? And perhaps if Porter hadn't beat his wives he'd have clearance?

Just going out on a limb here but don't think it is the process that is the issue.

The sheer absurdity of someone acting like a President not going by his campaign promises is some novel and amazing development - I can't even. It's just hilarious. "He shouldn't get a blank check, but he should grant amnesty to 2 million people, and if he doesn't he's a dictator!!!" And I'm brainwashed? You're so emotionally kneejerk that you can't differentiate between someone talking about the political realities of American politics for oh, the last 5 decades, and someone who is blindly loyal to the subject of that conversation.

The fact that people get up every day, regurgitate talking points they don't even understand and then use said talking points to derive intellectual self worth and superiority over people in "Bumfudge, Alabama" is what humors me most about the American left.

Christianity, and by all means, tell me how that plays in to a state deciding to take political action to ignore lawbreaking.

I don't care about the man, I care about the idea. And he's right that a GOP that complained about Obama's spending is being hypocritical right now.

I support plenty of people in the anti-Trump element of the right.

I don't support the attention-seeking, "please pat me on the head, WaPo" crowd. Max Boot is a big government interventionist who doesn't care when the US bombs the hell out of MENA and bloats the military budget, but suddenly thinks Trump is an authoritarian because he said it was unAmerican not to cheer and wants to hold a military parade (both ideas I think are stupid).

You can adopt him if you like, he's probably got his shots and everything.

I did not realize it was a tenet of Christianity to claim the moral high-ground and dismiss those who may also claim the religion but be of a different political persuasion. That's just political crap wrapped in the cloak of religion.

FWIW, the Christian right routinely ignores laws that do not comport with their aims.

Good for you for supporting people in the anti-Trump element of the right. Your statement was about the left and so I spun it 180 degrees and, correctly, jabbed the right for exactly the same thing.

Kelly is the same man who, during an emotional briefing in October, fumed that when he was young, “Women were sacred and looked upon with great honor. That’s obviously not the case anymore as we’ve seen from recent cases.”

This is not the only turn in the spotlight this week for Kelly, a generally press-shy individual. The chief of staff, rejecting calls for the White House to extend the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, said that “Dreamers” should have registered during the Obama administration, and those who did not were “too lazy to get off their asses.” Democrats lashed out at Kelly about the comments behind closed doors, but rather than try to set the incident aside, Kelly repeated what he’d said to reporters. As even rigorously nonpartisan reporters noted, Kelly was invoking shopworn stereotypes about immigrants and people of color.
