Rand is standing on the deck of the titanic bitching to the other musicians about what song to play. Reality is it doesn't fricking matter because there are more important things to deal with. Too bad he doesn't care this much about congress vacating its responsibility to declare wars and spend money.
what? he is always bitching about those things and voting against and then yall get mad about that

huh? Rand has always stated the primary function of the federal gov according to the constitution is national defense and has stated many times that the open border policy is the number 1 threat to that.
He doesnt' support a border wall or increased border security.

That’s a great point. If he is such an opponent of tariffs why not seek fair trade through the use of them? We carry a mighty weapon in our US buying power. Use it to level the playing field.

Rand must know no other President could have made DOGE and MAHA happen. No one would have made it past the FBI raid stage, much less endless lawfare-and assassination attempts but Trump.
If 2 people aimed a gun at Rand that were suspicious with dem/CIA ties he would cut bait. That's fine.... but STFU when perfection will never be accomplished especially with do nothing congress critters.
Trump has his warts but the R congress critters and Rand, Massie, and so on... are all talk no action. They write strongly worded letters.
At minimum Rand has the intellect to realize: That there was no other recourse to trade in which the USA was bent over with no lube.

If Rand is really against tariffs, why not be willing to fight to get other countries to remove them?
If Rand cares about americans, why is he OK with open borders and letting criminals in that kill americans?
Rand only stands for being different. He doesn't stand for anything that is actually helpful.
Perfect eval of Rand. Spot on.

that is not what he said
he said...he doesnt know if that is the solution to have a wall everywhere but the main thing he said was
its a terrible idea to start the presidents new term spending 100 billion on the wall and another 200 billion on the military with no spending cuts to offset.
he said "I think that is a terrible way to start" and he isnt wrong, you cant take biden spending levels and add 300 billion and say...oh we are conservative
he also said
"If they send the Army into New York and you have 10,000 troops marching, carrying semi-automatic weapons, I think it's a terrible image and I will oppose that" and said its unconstitutional and he is right.
now as far as militarizing the border....that is fully within the scope of the constitution imo. not sure what his views on that are
but stop saying he doesnt support immigration reform and border security because he asked for spending cuts to off set.

the border wall costs are nowhere near those numbers.

Imagine... celebrating the destruction of conservatives. Why not just vote democrat?
Rand Paul is giving press conferences with democrats and rallying democrats to support his anti-tariff bill because there aren't enough Republicans that do.
Talk about being oblivious.

thats what trump was originally asking when Paul commented though and the comments everyone took to mean he doesnt support the wall

I like people who are correct in practice moreso than theory, but I prefer results over rhetoric and grandstanding.
The fact that you think Trump is right in his application of tariffs suggest you do too but just haven't realized it. Clinging to "principles" makes people feel warm and fuzzy inside while recognizing practical reality is more sobering.

no i specifically said that earlier. I also can appreciate pauls stance that a tariff is a tax and should be voted on by congress who is constitutionally mandated to handle those things
but of course congress is also mandated to pass an actual budget and hasnt done that in a 4 years and hasnt passed one on time since 96.
here is the thing, in the end i can appreciate someone who doesnt flip flop and holds true to what he believes, mainly that congress should control spending and we spend too god damn much and that we tax too much.
