.@LindseyGrahamSC No Lindsey, General Mattis wasn’t brainwashed by the liberal media. You however, were brainwashed by the host of the Apprentice. You aren’t just another blonde. You are the living embodiment of supine servility. You are Washington’s least principled man.

Well...um...sure...

Right now on the Senate floor, Senator Paul is explaining to Senators Booker and Harris what lynching is and isn’t, and why he’s blocking their bill to make it a federal crime.

I just can’t.

Kentucky should be demoted back to territory status. No other state comes even close for two awful Senators, though Florida will make a run someday.

We have a Democratic Governor, who I think has done fairly well during this crisis. His leadership has certainly helped Kentucky’s numbers be in the top half for testing and bottom third for cases, according to Worldometer. I hope he continues to follow what he says when he said he’ll shut it back down if our numbers start going back up. Last week, they did versus the prior week. Our reopening started a month ago, so now’s the time we’d start seeing the uptick. Our Senators are both god awful and clearly have no interest in helping all people of Kentucky, just some. That, I can’t deny.

I just got a spam from Susan Collins, asking me for what's the most important thing she can do for me this year. That's easy. Retire.

...Unrelated, I gave Alaska ANWR, major highways, and more. Get any candidate ready, good or bad, I don’t care, I’m endorsing. If you have a pulse, I’m with you!

Wait, is he claiming he created the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The same ANWR that was established in 1960.

Too bad Rand's neighbor can't teach him what lynching really is.

Too bad Rand's neighbor can't teach him what lynching really is.

The bill under debate has an element of BS to it.

The bill adds a new section, section 250, to the US Code that defines federal civil rights crimes. The new section, section 250, is labeled as "lynching."

So what does this new "lynching" section do, or how is it defined? Basically it's defined as conspiring with another person to violate one of those federal civil rights crimes that are already on the books.

But the federal civil rights crimes encompass a broad spectrum of acts, including interference or intimidation related to voting, education, housing, etc... If some idiot attempts to intimidate or interfere with the right to vote due to that person's race, it's a crime, but I don't think anyone would say that victim has been "lynched." So, does conspiring to do it with another person turn it into a lynching?

Furthermore, there is already a conspiracy element associated with the federal civil rights crimes. It's section 241. Do we need another, just so we can call it lynching?

To me it does seem to cheapen the definition of lynching, which is a heinous part of our history.

Maybe I'm reading the bill wrong, but I don't think so.

Here are the federal civil rights crimes currently on the books, and here is the text of the bill under debate (you have to scroll down to read section 250).

Somebody has GOT to get that guy to change his name legally to Rand Paul's Neighbor and have him run against Paul in the next election. If he's a Republican do it in the primary or if he's a Dem or independent in the general election. Either way the dude would set the record for campaign donations for a non-incumbent after like the 1st week.
