Obvious childish BS aside, this is cowardly as fuck. If any person hits a senator they're gonna get fucked legally somehow. It's like an NCO or officer in the military challenging a private to hit him. Even if you win, you lose. Cowardly shit. Would be a shame if he got Rand Paul'd.

Bring back duels on the senate floor.

We're currentl 0:1 in favor of slaver shits. We need a chance to even the score.

Honestly the chance to beat another senator to death with a cane is the only reason I'd even want to be one

Plus all the senators are fascist now so I could just close my eyes and swing away

On the other hand, the last political duel ever was won by a socialist, so we've got that

Would be a shame if he got Rand Pauled

What happened to that dipshit?

[-] ME5SENGER_24@lemm.ee 49 points 10 months ago

Rand was a bad neighbor and got the shit kicked outta him. Then his neighbor (the ass kicker) had his punishment increased because Rand’s a whiny little bitch with strong political connections.

Rand Paul's neighbor assaulted him with suburban rage over Rand's sticks being on his side of the property line. Broke a couple of his ribs, but because Rand's a senator he got sentenced to like a year in prison.

Critical support

Didn't Rand also lose hearing in one ear?

[-] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago

Bet he didn't hear that coming

[-] ME5SENGER_24@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Don’t forget the $500k civil penalty

I think that gives the idea enough.

Rand pissed off his neighbor somehow and his neighbor beat his ass. Broke a rib apparently.

Rand, being the omega pussy he is, allowed prosecutors to slam the neighbor with a felony for "hitting a congressman" even though the assbeating was purely for personal, not ideological, reasons. Rand Paul is a sack of dogshit who happily weaponizing state violence: no surprise.

Rand wouldn't stop dumping lawn trimmings on his neighbors lawn so his neighbor beat his ass and then the rugged individualist libertarian got the government to charge his neighbor charged with political violence for defending his property rights.

Sucks for his neighbor but you couldn't ask for better proof that literally everything they claim to believe is horseshit.
