Got a source for that? Not that I doubt it but I hadn’t heard about that one. If true, that’s absolutely fucked.
Rand Paul is the source:
"I was honoured to deliver a letter from President Trump to President Vladimir Putin’s administration. The letter emphasized the importance of further engagement in various areas including countering terrorism, enhancing legislative dialogue and resuming cultural exchanges," Paul wrote in a Twitter post.
God damn… thanks for that kind stranger. Much appreciated.
I love how every source familiar with the letter gave a different account of what was in it.
Nobody mentioned the giant I.O.U. Scrawled on the back in sharpie.
And he did it on the Fourth of July.
Along with the rest of the republiQan putin-suckers.
On Tuesday afternoon, the bipartisan leadership of the Senate Intelligence Committee issued some important findings, concluding that the U.S. intelligence community was correct in its assessment: Russia attacked the U.S. elections in 2016 and did so in the hopes of putting Donald Trump in the White House.
It was right around this time that seven Republican members of Congress -- six senators and one House member -- were in Moscow. Making matters much worse, however, is what the GOP lawmakers had to say while they were there. The Washington Post reported:
Rand Paul as in Putin’s poodle Rand Paul
If one single motherfucker here comes to defend Rand Paul for this, remember that he also did the same thing to an anti-lynching bill.

Rand Paul:
“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.”
Also Rand Paul:
Votes against the strictest border bill ever that Republicans literally were asking for
Rand Paul is funded by Russian 🇷🇺 dark money—so no surprise.
They probably even boosted his dad's presidential campaign https://www.thedailybeast.com/louis-anslow-asks-did-russia-putin-and-jesse-benton-astroturf-the-libertarian-ron-paul-revolution
Putins sock puppet. Rand Paul can’t let tucker hog all daddy’s attention.
"they think the border of Ukraine is more important than the US border"? Does he have memory worse than a goldfish, that he's already forgotten the whole deal that his party just recently decided to kill?
He hasn't forgotten. He just doesn't give a fuck.
These people are not operating in good faith.
Haven't been for decades. The corporate news media just makes it sound like they mean it. Even they know they're full of shit.
Oh look, the official Senate troll is at it again.
His neighbor should have taught him a more thorough lesson.
To be fair, it seemed like an adequately painful lesson, but Rand Paul's brain works in mysterious ways (probably due the worms).
Let me talk to him. I'll explain it.
It would be nice if he got his ass kicked by his neighbor again.
The Senate was in in session until 8pm last night and just knocked off for the day. Not too many colleagues impressed with Rand's performance. Fetterman called him a peckerhead in a tweet.
