With friends like him, who needs enemies. I used to like Rand, but he is wearing thin. The problem with every libertarian I know is that they don’t know how to shut up. No one gives a shite about hemp farmers.

Nobody cares when it was written. The deceitful littles inserted behind closed doors.

Rand was the one who dropped in at the last minute. He said so in his floor speech

The Hemp stuff has been in since June or earlier. Rand added an amendment to strip it. Thats suddenly why he cant support it. Last time it was for other reasons

Paul said he’s seeking a vote on an amendment to strip the hemp provision from the bill.

Always something with him

I don't keep up with everything politics all the time. It was a genuine misunderstanding.

I do believe the other Senator from the commonwealth of Kentucky wants it left in there.

We have a deal. But the rule requires the Senate to now wait another 30 hrs due to Rands objection. The 30 hrs will elapse and it will pass. With or without Rand
quote:

“Just to be clear: The timing is already fixed under Senate procedure. But there is extraneous language in this package that has nothing to do with reopening the government and would harm Kentucky’s hemp farmers and small businesses,” Paul said in a statement posted on the social platform X.

Hes just being a prick, and hes done it before
quote:

"I can keep them here until three in the morning," Paul said on Fox News Thursday evening. "Nobody wants to have it pointed out what an eyesore this deal is and how obnoxious it is to conservatives." - Feb. 9, 2018

Rand wasn’t stalling. The Establishment was swamping.

Are you cool with cramming shite like this into a supposedly "clean" continuing resolution bill?

The problem is that more senators aren't against it. It is bullshite even without factoring in the actual issue of the hemp industry.

Kinda makes one wonder what's in there that nobody is objecting to? We wouldn't know about this were it not for Rand.

When this bill passes will it mean I can’t buy a THCA pre roll before I go see some bands and eat some good food in Asheville?
