Rand Paul doesn't know or is intently ignoring the legal explanation of dismissed for lack of standing. It basically means a case which is studied by experts of the court to see if the standard merits are there to support the commitment of the courts or there a bouts.
So basically these assholes are saying the 100 years of court process is also fraudulent because 70 something courts saw no legal reason to continue a frivolous lawsuit. Which is what every other lawsuit in the country has been put through to not bulk up the courts with nonsense that has no chance of winning.
That's what asshole rand is saying, even the courts are fraudulent.
Every single case was scrutinized as usual and every single case failed even the most simple parameters to proceed. All cases in the country will not progress if they are bullshit. Period.
Again, the repukeicans are saying they are above the law. That has to stop.
I want to know why the flying fuck these people are still in office? Why?
Rand 'no evidence' Paul is into fact-avoidance as much as he was 10 years ago.
2011 - With Record Number Of Americans Falling Into Poverty, Rand Paul Says The Poor Are Getting Rich
[...]
Citing the deficit as a primary priority, Paul questioned whether federal low-income programs are “creating unnecessary and unhealthy dependence on government.” He unequivocally declared that “poverty is not a state of permanence” and that “the rich are getting richer, but the poor are getting richer even faster.”
PAUL: We also need to understand that poverty is not a state of permanence. When you look at people in the bottom 5th of the economic ladder — those at the bottom — only 5 percent are there after 16 years. People move up, the American dream does exist…The rich are getting richer, but the poor are getting richer even faster.
Paul takes a situation includes a touch of truth, then misrepresents and denies the facts of the matter. Classic contrarianism.
Rand 'herd immunity' Paul also bears responsibility for thousands of unnecessary American deaths.
Rand Paul Coronavirus Claims At Odds With Science, Public Health By Ryland Barton • May 20, 2020 You could say that Kentucky’s junior senator Rand Paul has assumed the position of contrarian-in-chief during the COVID-19 pandemic. He’s challenged public health experts and claimed Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear is a “dictator” because of restrictions imposed to help slow down the spread of the virus. https://www.wkyufm.org/post/rand-paul-coronavirus-claims-odds-science-public-health#stream/0
On Paul's claim secretaries of state illegally changed election laws. One Rand 'herd immunity' Paul would be referring to would be Pennsylvania.
Fact-checking Hawley’s claim about Pennsylvania’s election law If Your Time is short
* The Pennsylvania Constitution sets specific reasons that voters can vote absentee, such as illness. It does not explicitly forbid mail-in voting.
* In October 2019, the Pennsylvania General Assembly passed Act 77 to permit no-excuse, mail-in voting
"The Kentucky senator responded, "What I would suggest is that if we want greater confidence in our elections -- and 75% of Republicans agree with me -- is that we do need to look at election integrity.""
Yeah. How many Republicans believe your integrity is suspect, Mr. Paul.
Rand Paul and The Mental Decline of the Republican Party
"Good Morning America Sen. Rand Paul Someone needs to get this man to a mental hospital....or JAIL...."
The Republican party has turned into a cult, depriving otherwise sane people of their mental capabilities.
Erik Engheim Nov 18, 2020
Senator Rand Paul, a possible cult member, struggling to comprehend the reason why we make vaccines.
I have never particular liked US Senator Rand Paul, but unlike Donald Trump I have always believed him to be a person of normal ability to reason and think. Part of the sane Republican establishement. Yet watching the Republican party under Donald Trump is like watching some Alzheimer patient in rapid mental decline.
I hope I don’t offend anyone suffering from it or having a loved one who does. It is not something anyone can control. The American Republican party in contrast has brought this upon themselves. It is the steady dripping of odd statements from various Republican leaders that make me question their mental well being.
The latest is this tweet by Rand Paul:
Senator Rand Paul @RandPaul · Nov 18, 2020 Great news! - Pfizer vaccine 90% effective - Moderna vaccine 94.5% effective - Naturally acquired COVID-19 99.9982% percent effective*
* (estimating 200 reinfections out of 11 million Americans, which is likely an overestimation of actual reinfections)
When anyone tell you something as shockingly stupid, one will struggle to respond, because the statement is so utterly idiotic. Where to begin?
Rand Paul is referring to surviving a horrible disease as a naturally acquired vaccine. If you are uncertain if that is what he is actually saying, Rand Paul makes it abundantly clear in his next tweet:
Senator Rand Paul @RandPaul
Why does the left accept immune theory when it comes to vaccines, but not when discussing naturally acquired immunity?
Yes indeed. Why do we need vaccines when nature gives them to us for free? Why did we waste energy developing e.g. Smallpox vaccines when those who had it ended up immune… or dead. Yes Rand Paul, you forgot that last part. The “dead part.” 300 million people died from Smallpox, but by Rand Paul logic getting Smallpox would be great because it would make you immune to Smallpox afterwards, unless you are dead of course.
The whole point of getting a vaccine is to avoid the “dead part.” The whole fricken point of taking a vaccine rather than opting for the disease Rand Paul is that you are significantly less likely to die from a vaccine than from the actual disease. Do we actually need to spell that out?
Thus far 1.3 million people have died from COVID19 world wide. 35.6 million have recovered but out of those countless have permanent health damage. They have reduced lung capacity, mental fog, depression and many other problems they may never recover from. But hey, it was all totally worth it because they got immune from COVID19.
The idea that we don’t need to develop a COVID19 vaccine because you will be immune after you caught it, is simply offensive to the human intellect and the countless people who still suffer from its aftereffects, and the family and loved ones of those who have died from it.
But this is what the Republican party has turned into. It is now more important to escape into an alternative reality if that can help save a party from being exposed as morally corrupt. Republicans in congress have aided an abetted a crooked and morally corrupt president instead of serving their own country.
Why should I care? I am not even American? Well America is currently the worlds biggest reality show. It has some 7 billion viewers. You can watch it on youtube, twitter, Facebook etc. People listen around the world. The craziness is not self contained and wrapped up neatly. Nope, crazy talk such as that from Rand Paul is spread all over the world.
I start hearing people in Norway at the fringes, the strongly religious, really conservative etc beginning to echo the most deranged ideas emanating from the American Republican party.
INSERT: As i have said, gun push, anti-mask/vaccine push. Since Trump i have heard more of that rubbish in Australia too.
The Republican party has become a sickness of the mind, which is infecting people all over the world. Slowly, really gradually beginning to undermine the efforts of local authorities in the rest of the world. Who want to wear a mask, keep social distance if it is all just a Democrat hoax or if hey the best way to get immune against COVID19 is to just go ahead and get it.
Yeah… lets just think about that one more time. Why would we need any kind of vaccine, artificial or “natural” if actually getting the disease was completely harmless?
It is like stating that the best way to avoid the horrible black plague is to get the horrible black plague because then you will be immune against it afterwards. Except of course the “dead part”. Half of Norway died during the black plague, but what lucky bastards the survivors where, getting their all-natural vaccine. I am sure getting a vaccine shot in the arm would have been almost exactly the same experience as surviving the black plague. Actually I don’t… but I suspect Rand Paul thinks so.
