    1. @super w6 You are looking at Putin and Venezuela, right? Trump has sold us to the Russians. You better wake up.

    2. Michelle Autore Venezuela is Bernie’s hope for US. Putin benefitted from Obama after re-election and Hillary plutonium sale. It seems perhaps you’re the one napping.

    1. Why cant kentucky voters elect someone else besides mitch and rand? What is so special about these two that make the kentucky voters keep voting them back in over and over and over again? What have they done to make the lives of people in kentucky better?

    2. Why would congress pass aid for ukraine if they are so corrupt. Senate republicans signed a letter saying that shokan was corrupt.

    3. His answer is complete bullshit. What about ivanka working in the White House and getting patents from china after meeting with Chinese officials?

  1. “You can interpret the constitution a few different ways…”
    In other words: We shouldn’t have to give money to our allies that way if we’re ever in trouble as a country none of our allies have to help us…
    Rand your stance is pure Bull 💩!

    1. Allies have been fighting a USA var in the east 17 years,it is a var started by G Bush for 9-11.You wont see this in the USA Papers.If a NATO Country is in a war all other NATO Country,s by law have to go to war.

    1. @Crazy Bernie Since Rand Paul clearly supports and repeats the propaganda garbage of Putin’s Communist Revival regime in Russia, with its holy icons of Stalin and revived KGB, and clearly supports the totalitarian fantasies of Trump (he who loves the mass-murdering dictator of Communist North Korea), and has absolute contempt for democracy, I think the label is apt. Call him a Fascist or a Communist — they are, and always have been the same thing. But “Fascist” bounces off him, while “Communist” gets at his craw, with his life-long pretense of opposing it.

    2. You people don’t even know why you hate trump… this is the weakest case for impeachment I’ve ever seen. 👌🏻

    3. Look at liberals revealing their true color of socialism which ALWAYS leads to violence against opponents. Even the leftist socialists in Nazi Germany used to pretend to be against Communists in Russia. You are just like your fellow socialists in Nazi Germany, Castro’s Cuba, Saddam’s Iraq, Qaddafi’s Libya or Maduro’s Venezuela where leftists like you reach to power by misleading people to think that they do care for the people, and then oppressing and killing opponents in the name of “greater goodness” just to grab onto power and limit people freedom.

    1. @T R cnn dildo’s like to fuel themselves in these comment sections giving themselves a false sense of reality. The reality is, its all mental masturbation that will never go anywhere… We have now seen it for 4 years 😆😂

    1. You people don’t even know why you hate trump… this is the weakest case for impeachment I’ve ever seen. 👌🏻

    1. Rand ….I take my oath to the constitution seriously!!!???? This is a disagreement over policy??? This guy is a corrupt POS. Traitor. And not at all taking his oath seriously!

    2. If Trump was holding up the money because he was concerned about corruption, was it that he found no corruption that he released the funds?

    1. I realize Democrats are sexually aroused by socialism and eager to become government chattel. Your Lord and Savior Obama … Carried out military interventionism in Libya without Congressional approval, Gave a no-bid contract to Halliburton cronies, Had an administration full of lobbyists, Had close ties to Wall St., but pretended to support Occupy Wall St., Supported the $700 billion TARP corporate-welfare bailout, Nominated a six-time tax cheater to head the government agency that enforces the tax laws, Supported release of convicted mass murderer Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, Illegally put thousands of guns into hands of criminals, Fired Inspector General for discovering that Obama’s friend had embezzled government funds, Lied about putting health care negotiations on C-SPAN, Lied about letting people keep their health insurance, Lied about the cost of Obamacare, Gave tax dollars to campaign contributors and lobbyists, and falsely claimed the money was for “green energy”, Had “off the record” meetings with lobbyists, Had armed SWAT agents raid a law-abiding guitar factory because it was owned by a Republican, Shut down Amish farm, Ignored constitutional requirements for appointees, Supported new bailouts for speculators who caused housing bubble, Spent $205,075 of taxpayer money on a shrubbery which nurseries sell for $16, Spent taxpayer money to see if using cocaine helped rats to enjoy the music of Miles Davis …. the list can go on and on …

      Funny how it was Hillary and the DNC that purchased a fake dossier and used it to get the government to spy on a private citizen running for office. The DNC even rigged their own primary and of course the Clinton corruption with their pay for play scheme and email scandal. Yes, the Democrat Party has become a cesspool of corruption. Obama weaponized the DOJ, FBI and IRS to go after his political opponents. The fact is that Barack Obama was the one using intelligence agencies to spy on Americans. Barack Obama was the guy setting up back-channel communication links to the Iranians in order to do the prelude to a nuke deal that allows the Iranians to eventually have nuclear weapons.

      In 2013, then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden flew aboard Air Force Two to China. Less than two weeks later, Hunter Biden’s firm inked a $1 billion private equity deal with a subsidiary of the Chinese government’s Bank of China. The deal was later expanded to $1.5 billion. In short, the Chinese government funded a business that it co-owned along with the son of a sitting vice president.

      You do realize that the United States has a two party system
      Right wing and extremely right wing
      When the rest of the world hears that the Democrats are called socialist, we shake our heads in disbelief and laugh.
      Obama was disliked for his Right Wing politics, especially in international affairs. Look at the bailouts to the banks and the automakers. That’s hardly socialism.
      Regardless of your political leanings, can you not see that Donald Trump is a distraction and a patsy for an extremist elite who continue to cheat, steal and undermine your society. While you are all discussing the unpardonable actions of the lunatic you voted into the White House, Your deficit is ballooning and your society is being fundamentally eroded

  2. He’s really saying with his whole entire grown man chest that this is a matter of”how you interpret the constitution ???”
    That’s not how it works sir.
    Have a seat!
    Let adults talk!
