Rand Paul vows to drag out Senate effort to pass foreign aid package | CNN Politics

The Senate is working to pass a $95.3 billion foreign aid bill with assistance for Ukraine and Israel, but it may be days until a final vote as GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky is using arcane and complex chamber rules to slow down the process into the weekend.

The chamber cleared a critical 60-vote threshold to advance the bill on Thursday, and took another procedural vote Friday night. But without an agreement from all 100 senators to speed up the process and swiftly pass the legislation, the Senate is expected to work through the weekend with a final vote next week.

“I think we should stay here as long as it takes,” Paul told CNN’s Manu Raju on Thursday. “If it takes a week or a month, I’ll force them to stay here to discuss why they think the border of Ukraine is more important than the US border.”

Sure, the Nazi fascist that The Advocate supports.

One of those pro-LGBT+ Jewish Nazis.

Why do you keep using social virtue signals to prove you’re right? People can be right about one thing and wrong about another. You and certain other users gang-dragged me before and I stuck by my position, agree with you on others and I’m not worried you disagree, using only insults and social virtue signaling to do. I said what I said. I dummy agree with taxpayer dollars supporting fascism, at home or abroad.

I see, pointing out that the premier LGBT+ publication in the U.S. probably wouldn't support a Nazi is 'virtue signals.'

Also, 'gang-dragged?' Do you think we got together and coordinated or something?

Also also, please quote me insulting you- or was that a lie?

Yes; idk but it’s certainly hive mind; so your asking if I was from a certain server wasn’t an insult in your mind, nor your whole holier-than-thou condescending tone in all the posts past and present, wrt the same topic: disingenuous at best, sure. Here, this user said it all, after the first time you particular three brigaded Mr the first time I expressed myself wrt funding Nazis, I resolved to no longer waste time defending my position:, but this user thoughtfully used a lot of time to make good points, which probably won’t phase you. https://lemm.ee/comment/9122407

Wait... so you think we're literally psychically linked? Because, believe it or not, I don't even know who else you're talking about when you say "you particular three."

Also, that user did not claim Zelensky is a Nazi. You did. You have done nothing to support that claim. Maybe do that rather than claim I insulted you when I didn't and implying I have ESP.

You’re an immature child making wild accusations and putting words in my mouth. Goodbye.

Let's see... The three claims I made in that post...

  1. You said Zelensky was a Nazi. You did. https://kbin.social/m/politics@lemmy.world/t/825852/-/comment/5093641

  2. You claimed I insulted you. You did. https://kbin.social/m/politics@lemmy.world/t/825852/-/comment/5100485

  3. You implied I had ESP. You did. https://kbin.social/m/politics@lemmy.world/t/825852/-/comment/5100689

So I'm not sure which ones of those are wild or where I put words in your mouth. I'm also not sure why you have to lie like that.

Furthermore, I'm not sure why you would indignantly accuse me of insulting you, deny you accused me of insulting you, then insult me by calling me an immature child.

Nice try, but unfortunately for you, I'm able to read.

Also, I notice you didn't address the whole 'immature child' thing right after complaining about me insulting her. I guess you think it's okay when she does it but not okay when you decide I do.

Pointing out your hypocritical double-standard is not whataboutism. Sorry.

I didn't apply a hypocritical double standard. You made a false claim and used whataboutism to deflect when I pointed it out.
