In response to incoming-Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-UT) op-ed criticizing President Trump’s tone, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) fell in line with the Republican National Committee and others in defense of Trump.

Paul called the former governor and presidential candidate just another “Big Government” Republican, whose greatest sin is not actually liking former President Ronald Reagan and who now “wants to signal how virtuous he is.”

    First, John Dillinger would look virtuous compared to Donnie. Second, what does liking Reagan have to do with anything? And third, doesn’t Rand have some yard work to do?

  3. Better be careful, Rand. Mitt will send his own neighbor over to beat the living shit out of you, and then posthumously baptise your dead squirrel ornamented corpse.

  4. “Burn the heretic!!!”

    Seriously, how long before the GOP digs up Reagan’s corpse, plasticizes it, and permanently displays it on the National Mall? They should just give him the Full Lenin and be done with it.

  5. That’s plan B for the 2020 nominee.
