This back and forth between Stephanopolous and Rand Paul highlights the frustration that people feel with the elections results.
Stephanopolous refuses to acknowledge that incidents happened that were not following standard voting laws. Now that doesn't mean the election was stolen or that Biden didn't win, but he is essentially doing the equivalent of sticking his fingers in his ears and screaming.
Rand has a valid point, he isn't making this stuff up and every American, regardless of how much you hate Donald Trump and are perfectly ok looking the other way with Biden winning should demand that election procedures that were established were followed - and more importantly, when millions of Americans believe that there were serious voting irregularities, to the extent they storm the capital, them you should look into them.
I know the response is these people are scum, they aren't worthy Americans, Biden people are better, whatever, that's bullshit
You can be satisfied with election results, you should not be satisfied with the election process - and now there is a huge segment of Americans who don't believe their vote counts.
Its one thing to face voter suppression - its a horrible thing but voter suppression at least acknowledged their vote counts. Changing voting procedures that were established justifying it thru a pandemic and then refusing to invest in validating it is a whole different issue. Now the integrity of the voting process is suspect. Its only going to make the next election that much worse - and you'll see that in the next few months as politicians fight to invoke more draconian voting laws.

Paul made a complete and total fool of himself. Watched it live. Kentucky must be so proud of him and Mitch. I wish I lived farther away. What a clusterfuck

They don't want to look into the irregularities. They like it the way it is.

That total pussy Rand Paul kept saying "you're calling me a liar," I wish Stephanopolis had said "that's because you are a liar, you fucking pussy"...

about as patriotic as dismissing the concerns of 52 million Americans about voting irregularities because you think they are all a bunch of insurrection loving idiots

this is where you come off being a hypocrite.
Based on knowing you here for the past 20 years or so, Rand Paul is exactly the kind of politician you want
but because you've got so invested in hating Trump you can't admit that if the situation was turned and it was Biden on the losing end of this, you'd be 100% in support of Rand
Say what you want about him, but he's probably the most balanced politician out there and will be the voice of reason during the Biden presidency for any rational thinker.
Rand is the kind of politician that would be fighting for voting irregularities regardless of who won or lost.

You are so fucking wrong. Kentucky must be so proud to have him and Mitch representing them. All I could do was laugh at Paul. Much like I laugh at e.

This is what Florida State football has become? Fitting, really, after turning their backs on Bobby.

Thanks for the tip, but I'll be the judge of the kind of politicians I want, and Rand Paul ain't it. I can see thru his fake ass libertarianism. He's a touch more clever than most of them up there, but he's just as full of shit as any of them. He is not a principled man, and the fact that so many people think he is is disgusting. He's not really that bright, either...

wait, so now you .lump all of them as being full of shit?
and I do think, relative to politicians, Paul is extremely principled.
whatever, you're a rudderless ship at the moment as long as whatever port you pull into hates Trump
Hey guys. I heard somewhere that "voting irregularities" caused 8 million fraudulent votes. Can we get to the bottom of this already? I just want some answers dammit.

Yes. There was a nationwide poll in which eight million people claimed that Lexington style barbecue or Alabama style barbecue with white sauce constituted the respondent's favorite barbecue. It's bullshit. There is no way there are that many people who like that shit.

Hating Trump has been a very steady rudder for me. Almost as steady as your love of him has been for you...
