Like he was with the PPP payments? I don't remember his objection when that oversight was removed.

Prove they all lie, all of the time please. That is what you posted. You cannot, you just, as usual, make stupid outrageous statements that are not true.
Riiiiiight. I’m sure if I said Trump lies all the time, you’d co-sign it and drool a little bit. Sorry, my bad. I should have said all politicians lie frequently. That’s more grammatically correct.
It'll be whatever it takes to make sure our oligarchs have first pick of the juiciest contracts. Not to mention the chunk of that money that will go right back to US arms manufacturers...who just so happen to have lobbyists that love to grease the palms of our politicians regardless of whether they clap or don't clap during a given State of the Union. Banks and bankers will love that sh!t too, cuz someone has to shoulder the burden of moving those number from here to there for a nominal fee.
The best we can hope for is that enough trickles down to our hamster feeder-like 401k's that we get distracted by nominal growth.
I thought I read the military industrial complex is no longer hiring lobbyists because Biden and congress are doing well enough on their own.
Edit, here it is.
Top Pentagon contractors spend less on lobbying as demand for weapons to Ukraine rises - OpenSecrets News
Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and General Dynamics spent $16.9 million on lobbying in the first quarter of 2022.

And this was America.
Congress created PPP loans—then at least 12 members reaped their benefits
Data released this week made ties between lawmakers and coronavirus aid recipients abundantly clear.
That was bad optics, but didn’t affect anything. This won’t affect anything, either. This just lets everyone know Rand is a douche, but the people of Kentucky don’t care. He is spectacularly unproductive in the Senate, and a full time grifter off of his PAC.
Only one party has given up on America as a democratic republic and worked to overturn a free and fair election, and it's not just the lunatic fringe of that party, it's the mainstream. The Democrats are working to govern and improve lives for all Americans. Republicans spit on our constitution and have no interest in governing and have demonstrated they have no problem with destroying our nation to remain in power.

At a glance that doesn't seem to be what the article says, but it doesn't matter because the juice is still going to the same place. Lobbyists are just middleman sales-people.
Well saying trump lies all of the time would be a lot closer to the truth than all politicians lie all of the time. At least I see you're weaseling out of your stupid lying comment.
JFC it was a figure of speech. Not weaseling out of anything, it’s still a point that you’ve not presented any evidence to disprove. All the time meaning frequently. This isn’t hard.
Thanks for proving my assumption about the Trump exception to your little outrage tantrum.
I think that you were talking about a political campaign that spied on a presidential campaign and then spied on a sitting President, you know ....trying to overturn a free and fair election. Manufacturing a hoax to further overturn an election. You are a hypocrite.
He's owned by Putin. C'mon. McCain called his ass out.
Between him and Moscow Mitch, could Kentucky elect 2 worse Senators, given today's world political scene?
JC!
Ever heard the phrase "two wrongs don't make a right"? Stop the whataboutisms.
Whataboutism is the Dem midterm plan. Biden was spouting off about it today. We’ll see if the American people fall for it.
You should give up. No one is buying your BS.
Now, give me your usual laughing emoji like you normally do.
You moved to the top of the dumbass list with this statement congrats! 👏
What, specifically is so bad about them?
Both are well known, successful, influential, and represent their constituents. Pretty bold statement to say they’re an embarrassment to their home state.
Do some research. And, after that, why would ANYONE hold up aid to Ukraine?
Oh yeah, I forgot. Trump did too while waiting on some dirt for Hunter Biden.
Did you register your Russian sympathizer card when you entered this message board?
Might be time to cash in your chips and just plain exit the premises.
You won't be missed, nor forgotten.
He explained his reasoning. And it sounds…reasonable. That’s a lot of $ to just hand another country. Resort to calling everyone a Russian. Good lord, I bash them on here daily. Again, the backlash exists because I offer reasonable questions about insane statements.
He might be believable if he put some effort into being consistent. He contradicts himself repeatedly in the same thread. That’s is he doesn’t go all pissy pants, first.
Interesting use of a comma…. Anyway, I haven’t contradicted myself at all. I guess the whole Putin! Sedition! Russia! Trump! gig is wearing quickly on me. Similar to the public.
You should go out and talk to people who aren’t associated with a political party and ask their opinion of Biden and the Democratic Party. You may be surprised to find out that you’re in the minority. I’m sure you’ll just tell yourself that you’re actually smarter than everyone else and know what’s best for them.
Define reasonable and Rand Paul in the same sentence, er, even paragraph, if you can. I'm betting you can't.
Now, don't issue an insane statement in your explanation as well.
What is reasonable about giving away $40B to one of the most corrupt countries in the world with no means to ensure the money is going to what it was intended for?
Maybe the glaring hypocrisy & double standards of some is lost on you. Carry on.
