HUMILIATING GOP MELTDOWN CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Rand Paul just pulled the chair out from under Marco Rubio in the Senate hearing — and the hypocrisy exploded in real time.

Rand drops the hammer:
“If another country bombed our air defenses, captured and removed our President on U.S. soil… would THAT be okay?”

Rubio freezes. He starts frantically erasing his notes, forgets how to breathe, and looks like a Trump sycophant who just realized he sold his soul for nothing.

Rand reminds him point-blank:
Congress declares war.
Congress controls the checkbook.
That Constitution you swore an oath to?

GOP loves executive power when Trump’s doing regime change abroad.
But flip the script? Suddenly it’s not so sexy.

Rubio couldn’t even choke out “NO.”
He couldn’t defend the endless foreign adventures he’s been selling for years.

Our tax dollars. Their cowardice.

This isn’t politics.
This is a bought-and-paid-for senator auctioning off the Constitution for donor dinners and Fox News applause.

GOP in power = rules for thee, but never for me.

I guess all those people complaining about cancel culture changed their minds.

Bring back Jimmy.

[S.E. Cupp @secupp]

This administration is systematically killing free speech, and these capitulating media companies are acting as willing accomplices. Frightening and shameful.

[Lucas Messina @LunarExModule]

I think the left needs to think through what cancel culture means and figure out a better way forward.

I cannot wait to see the Supremes contort themselves to say gerrymandering is bad, terrible, and illegal for blue states and totally good to go for red states.

So, ending vaccine mandates, I'm curious to see where the insurance companies fall on this.

It will be vastly more expensive to treat just one sick person than to have had thousands vaccinated.

What happens when insurance says there's no coverage if you declined the vaccine?

@JesseBWatters @MikeWaltz47 my first laugh of the day. thank you.

[Lucas Messina @LunarExModule]

Just a note, shrinking the federal workforce will severely impact govt services but not really the deficit/debt.

[Lucas Messina @LunarExModule]

It seems to me that 47 doesn't understand that if Russia wins, we don't get any of the rare earth minerals we want. The art of the deal.

Also, enjoyed the planted question about wearing suits on the oval office.

It was a setup.

If we really want to unleash American energy on the world, every windmill and solar panel saves a barrel of oil to be exported from US, the #1 oil producer in the world.

[Lucas Messina @LunarExModule]

Just a reminder, federal employees having pronouns in their signatures doesn't impact prices at the pump or grocery store. Tariffs on Canada & Mexico will.

@PowerShelling @Angry_Staffer @borealis_corey Presidents get blame or credit for the economy with little real connection between them and the economy. 47 here seems to be owning it and demonstrating that one person can make a difference. Taking the whole thing down in two weeks!
So much for the "pro-business" party.

[Lucas Messina @LunarExModule]

Shh, no one remind everyone that America is actually not an American name.

"If American politics is ever to return to a condition of civic and political health, it will need to embrace an honest account of January 6th. Which is why we need the release of the special counsel’s report."

@News12LI Sounds like excuses to raise prices that were going to be raised anyway.

[Lucas Messina @LunarExModule]

Just a reminder, all of the faux/semi-faux outrage of Biden's pardon of Hunter is distracting from the pending chaos and governmental dismantling.

[Lucas Messina @LunarExModule]

So, I wonder if AG Garland is thinking maybe he should have actually done his job the last four years and make sure offenders were prosecuted. He had FOUR YEARS.
What is unprecedented is that the other side was so guilty, not the actions of the prosecution.

@brianpodolsky Apparently, easily.
