Rand Paul Grandstanding (for Putin now)

Marsha Blackburn was another person the Senate GOP used as a "token" to give their argument.

Guess Breadbags was still trying to determine the costs of production for soybeans.

I don’t dispute that and respect the argument. The issue was how it was framed. Instead of Biden saying something to the effect of he’ll certainly not overlook any qualified female of color and that he hopes one emerges, he blatantly said he will only consider a black female. That is not fair to her.

Yes, it's a nuanced and difficult discussion that would be interesting over beers....but this does give fodder to the 5-second sound bite that drives opinion television/radio

Oh, unfortunately, given the fact we still live in a fairly bigoted society, it goes well beyond that.
 
I wish he hadn’t as well just for the unwanted distraction it caused, but at the same time. People didn’t really blink an eye when trump promised to nominate a woman either.
Whether at the conscious or unconscious level, there are a lot of chicken-dicked conservative white men of average physical stature and below average intelligence who feel threatened by all this affirmative “blackaction” nonsense. While I still disagree with Biden’s approach, I do enjoy all these stupid, pussified betas providing hilarious displays of their insecurities about being largely irrelevant in life. 😆
 
Just wish Biden hadn’t made a spectacle of choosing a black woman. Her qualifications should be enough. Now she’s known as being chosen for her color and gender instead of her accomplishments.
Funny that the rest of us choose to see her as a qualified candidate and that's all you and your ilk will remember.

Was it fair to Sandra Day O’Connor or ACB when the presidents that nominated them laid down a gender marker? Was it fair to Clarence Thomas for him to be a quota nominee? NOBODY thought he was the best person to replace Thurgood Marshall.
 
Every time I read about him, I completely understand why his neighbors kicked his ass.
Everyone in the Senate hates him. I remember when he promised to step back from the Senate as he ran for president, then he got smoked, and he realized that he’s utterly disinterested in earning a real living anymore, and just wants to be a loud mouth on Fox while grifting off of stupid people.

No. No.
 
I don't think it was wrong to acknowledge that sad truth that institutional racism against black women was a driving reason for the lack of AA woman on the court. As such, the country missed out on some real excellent scholars like Barbara Jordan. Whether that was "in the past" as most GOP members like to believe or still existent (see Trump's short list of candidates), is still a question. But acknowledging the inherent unfairness that existed before and suggesting it needs to be corrected was not wrong.
Also known as the "3 stooges".

To act as if, regardless of how Biden made the announcement ... even if he had never mentioned anything prior to it, as soon as he nominated a black woman, he would have been accused of doing it only because she was a black woman. To suggest that it's how it was set up as why people have a problem with it is foolish. She had a great background and there was no reason not to vote for her ... yet they did in unison.
 
Rand Paul trying to justify Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine is over the top. His implied justification that invading only former USSR countries can somehow explain Putin's rationale. No it can't - end of story! Putin has ruined the lives of over 5 million refugees, killed or injured thousands of civilians including children, and laid to ruin hundreds of billions of dollars worth of infrastructure. He's a punk war criminal and his unprovoked invasion of a sovereign country can never be justified.
 
I'm not sure I understand Rand Paul's and other senators and congressmen's end game in all of this crap they spew. I heard a few people interviewed at a recent trump rally and they were asked who they would vote for, Putin or Biden and they said Putin. Another old guy was asked about McCarthy saying he would tell trump to resign, and even though it's a recording and proof, the guy said "I'm not sure that's true". It's difficult to understand how their brain works.

Rand Paul is proof that Republicans will vote for a Russian apologist who wants to destroy our shared norms and values, and overthrow our elections, versus ever voting for a Dem.
 
I’ve come around on Putin. The toddlers he’s killing do live in former Soviet states. Surely that has to count for something.
