Rand Paul filibustering Brennan nomination on Senate floor

[EBounding]

I think some people just want to see if he will break the filibuster record.

Meanwhile Ed Schulz is talking with a panel about how the number of right wing groups out there mimics the period before Oklahoma City...

I caught a minute of Chris Matthews with SPLC guy and somebody else worrying about extremism on the right AND left. Interesting timing.

@JustinRaimondo Hey, friend, you're really embarrassing yourself.

Also, don't misunderstand Rand Paul: he's for domestic drone surveillance, confined strictly to uteruses.

Adam Weinstein ‏@AdamWeinstein
Perhaps somewhere in his filibuster, Rand Paul can compare US drone deaths to gun deaths of elementary schoolkids. #priorities

Adam Weinstein ‏@AdamWeinstein
@BlanksSlate @swin24 @dlind Oh, bullshit. Rand Paul cares more about drone fantasy abstractions than uteruses or gun deaths. #CivilRights

 

[phill4paul]

he definitely got his second wind. there was a half hour or so where he looked like he was crashing, but he's going strong again.

Rope-a-dope.....

 

[rubioneocon]

the way we (as a nation) act at War says alot about us . . .

Rand is right - his Dad said something to same effect back in the day

 

[supermario21]

I think Rand said "hell with politics, I'm pulling a Ron today." Best day ever.

Outstanding.

Rand Paul is rising so very far above that Blue Team Hate Speech that it isn't even worth responding to.

I just made the mistake of turning on the television. FOX - Recap of Bill and Allen debate with Dennis Rodman next. CNN - something about spiderman underwear with Nancy Grace, - MSNBC - Right wing extremism/militias complete with a poll on if the govnt needs to keep an eye on them. I turned it back off.

I've been watching this all day...I really need to get some work done.

I turned it off for an hour, did some stuff and was thinking it must be over by now. Came back to check in and he's still going. I'm hooked again...

I doubt he will. Going on for 24 hours to beat the individual record, or several days to beat the group record, would be nuts.

 

[bunklocoempire]

you know.. he kind of resembles a drone in that pic..

Good wholesome drone play is what cool dads do with their kids so maybe that's what is going on.

"vroooom BASH!! Hehe got you girls! Try again? No no -you're the mundanes -ready?"

Un-effing-believable.

Every network should be carrying this live.

Mother Jones editor not happy:

SPLC thought they were determining the Official Meme of the Day.

Rand Paul trumped the living snot out of that crap.

 

[Thor]

Rand has been droning on, and on, and on... on drones. Ya Rand!

 

[itshappening]

they will all cover it during the evening by checking in and out is my guess... hopefully network news is picking it up too so millions of Americans know whats happening tonight... can someone check network news?

Where was Rubio today?

Looks like he tried to do damage control on his SOTU water drinking episode. See last paragraph of the following article:

[mad cow]

It's 2 am here in Sweden. I really need some sleep, but I'll keep watching as long as Rand keeps it up.

Though I'm sitting down, and I do get smoke and pee breaks.

Cheater!

Yep. I'm probably going to look through the manuscript of Rands marathon and pull links to the sources he references to share. I see no need to link to these main stream platforms unless it's absolutely necessary.
