Rand Paul filibustering Brennan nomination on Senate floor

marco rubio just invoked wiz khalifa. lolz

Rubio is a moron. Wiz Khalifa? Mark my words, Rubio is no threat for 2016. The guy is a walking timebomb.

 

[hammy]

Rubio trying to stay relevant as Rand skyrockets into the national spotlight

 

[misean]

Can't be said enough, Rubio comes across very immature for being a Senator and not that bright. That guy has zero chance of being President.

Insiders tell me Eric Holder has been ordered to White House for opinion on legality of drone strike on Capitol.

 

[ronaldo23]

Rubio's PR consultant probably told him his favorability rating is slipping compared to Rand, and to go back out there and act like he is significant part of the filibuster.

Tptb sent back Rubio.... Gotta try and save Their end game

 

[georgiaboy]

And Moran of Kansas took quite a bit upon himself earlier. I'm tempted to give Wyden the most credit for crossing party lines, or Moran because he did a particularly good job, but Cruz is kicking ass right now.

One thing's certain--Rubio's lame water joke, and his attempt to make this whole thing partisan, didn't impress anyone.

Word.

Rubio, sadly, is simply a douche.

I beg pardon.

The Rube has combed his hair, he's hydrated, and ready to cloud the matter at hand.

Let's get ready tooo get emotionaaaaal.

 

[MrGoose]

How long has Rubio been talking? And how many 2016 hopefulls aren't standing with Rand right now?

 

[RockEnds]

Rubio is such a clumsy speaker. He is completely outclassed here.

 

[acptulsa]

how much longer are they going to speak and how many others are there in the Senate ?

There are ninety-nine Senators besides Rand Paul. Only a handful are helping him out, however.

How long are they going to speak? Rand Paul says he will stand there and not go to the bathroom until the president or the attorney general promise to uphold the due process guarantees of the Constitution and refrain from bombing us with drones unless we're, like, holding a grenade launcher or something. Or, the Senate could pass a unanimous resolution demanding that the White House not drone bomb us with no trial.

Twelve hours later, the president, the attorney general, and the Senate have all refused to promise to uphold the Constitution of the United States and give us due process (a trial) before they summarily execute us.

How long will he talk? Hopefully, until we get our Constitution and our civilization back.

 

[Adrock]

Rubio doesn't sound like a very good speaker next to Cruz and Rand.

 

[asurfaholic]

Rubio is a snake. He is a weasle.

I know this because my weasle alarms are going off. And my snake alarms.

 

[Spoa]

Eh, I don't know Rubio's motivations but at least he's giving Rand some more breathing room.

Amen. Let's be fair that at least Senator Rubio is allowing Senator Paul to breathe. While I know a lot of us would love to continue hearing Senators Lee, Paul, or Cruz...they can't keep talking otherwise they're mouths will drop off.

 

[bolil]

Rubio has had his hand forced, if he didn't get involved in this it would be his end. Im just waiting for him to need refreshment.

I hate his asymmetrical face,

Exactly. He is a mixture of Palin/Bachmann/Cain. No threat.

 

[TokenLibertarianGuy]

lol, now Rubio is quoting The Godfather. Compare him to Rand, Cruz and Lee, he's not intellectual match.
