The trouble is that they make sense in a dishonest sort of way. On a Venn diagram, making sense and being true overlap but not completely. They make enough sense that there are consumers for their tripe , as the alerts on my post demonstrate.
So you’re advocating violence against elected officials in one post while crying about “insurrection” and “violence” in countless other posts in multiple threads.
hey; at least he isn’t a totalibertarian.
I mean Rand is imperfect but I fail to see how his stances on the 1st and 4th amendments would have any cannabis proponent advocating for violence against him

I don’t advocate violence, because indifference gets the job done.
Shrubber is all tall. I asked him about it and we're good.
can you point to one example of Rand Paul being a racist? Or authoritarian? Or a tool for Putin?
Well starting off with the last, his ties to Putin run deep. For example one of his aides too the fall for him when he was found guilty of channeling Russian money into Republican campaigns.
Would you vote for Hitler if he said he'd legalize MJ? What kind of dupe would support a fascist like Rand Paul. just because he said he's for legalizing it? He's an effing Republican. THE ONLY party that openly supports the police state's war on MJ.I mean Rand is imperfect but I fail to see how his stances on the 1st and 4th amendments would have any cannabis proponent advocating for violence against him
Rand Paul Complains That Democrats Squandered Their Opportunity To Enact Marijuana Reforms
"Democrats controlled the House, Senate, and White House and still couldn't get cannabis reform bills passed," Sen. Rand Paul (R–Ky.) complained last week.
That's because it's newsworthy, regardless of the source.the point is that they’re publishing Project Veritas content.

That makes as little sense as defending astrology.

(Jesse Benton’s personal dealings with the Russian citizen in question just doesn’t really mean anything in terms of Rand Paul somehow being a Russian asset. It’s a big reach/conspiracy theory and all of Rands other actions over the years, calling for peace/trade vs war speak much louder in terms of his character than what looks to be a pattern for Benton and his self service/ego/power grab tendencies.) do I worship Paul? No. Is his stance on Russia more favorable than others. Yes. But I don’t equate that to being “owned” by them. The war in Ukraine isn’t as cookie cutter as it’s made out to be and there is corruption to speak of from both parties. I think Putin is an egomaniac who is unpredictable and dangerous. I am not sure where more of our involvement leads long term even though I’m sort of for it and sort of against it. (I think Germany and Poland and the EU should have stepped up long before us)
He's a fucking libertarian of the US variety. That econimic philosophy values property over people and the very notion of libertarianism is about protecting property and the power it gives over others. It's completely about protecting economic classes. The end state of libertarian economics is endless rule by propertied classes, a form of aristocratic authoritarianism. Did you know that the founder of that BS ideology served fascists and outright denied the possibility of equality?
(I’m not sure what sect of libertarianism you’re referring to as I’ve never heard of it. The Paul’s are anti fascist by definition)

he won't rule out a presidential run? BWAHAHA MOTHERFUCKIN HA. He's got to be right behind ted cruz as the most hated man who manages to keep getting elected to the senate...He should be enormously happy he keeps managing to do that, and not push his luck.When a man tells you who he is the first time, one should listen. In 2010, when asked the first time, he said he was opposed to the civil rights act.
So what if he later gave lip service to the CRA? What evidence exists to show he really did change his mind? He's never voted in a meaningful way to support it and in many instances he voted in ways that were detrimental to it. I'll just point at the SCOTUS judges he voted for. Every effing one of them are working to overturn it.
Jessie Benton was an aide that worked FOR Paul. Your party has become a criminal organization complete with people doing Paul'z dirty work so that Paul wasn't implicated. Republicans are rife with Russian money. Clean that shit up.
I get it that you don't understand what fascism is. After all, Paul and his Republican Party supported the fascist overthrow of our government and still you stick with them. The libertarian ideology is a hard right authoritarian one, does not endorse the idea of equal rights under the law and the founder of that sick fake philosophy worked for and defended fascism when he was still in Europe in the 1920's. The very idea of valuing property over people is sick and a bedrock of the fascist ideal.
Is this going anywhere? Is Paul considering a run at the presidency in 2024?
Oh, yeah, this:
Trump won’t be the Republican nominee in 2024, ex-GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan predicts

Paul files for re-election; doesn’t rule out 2024 presidential run
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Bowling Green, said Tuesday he has formally filed for reelection for a third term in the U.S. Senate.www.bgdailynews.com
Paul files for re-election; doesn’t rule out 2024 presidential run
“I think it’s too early to know that,” Paul said of any presidential possibilities. “The focus right now is on this race in 2022. I have no definite plans to or not to run for president.”
Paul said his priorities if reelected to the Senate are to continue being “one of the lead voices of fiscal conservatism,” determining the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic and limiting wars in the world.
“The main reason that I got involved in politics is because I was worried government was getting too big, and I am still concerned about that,” Paul said. “It’s very important that we do not spend money we don’t have.
Small government my ass. Republicans support cuts to programs they don't use. Like education. Bunch of dumb asses..
Not sure what your point is? We could go back in forth about the minimal amount adverse reactions of vaccines vs the not so minimal amount of adverse reactions to COVID in the unvaccinated.
no fucking sympathy.
