i can't believe ayn rand paul is doing more for the populace than potus

Rand Paul and I disagree on many things, but he probably has more integrity than the rest of the Republican Senate caucus combined, and frankly I struggle to think of a Democrat in the Senate who I trust more either.

...what?

Do you believe Bernie Sanders lacks integrity (maybe you're splitting hairs on "Democrat")? Elizabeth Warren? Mark Kelley?

Idk, this seems like a poor attempt to "both sides"

Bernie is an Independent.

Warren helped the DNC derail Bernie's presidential run which definitely lost her points in my book.

Kelley seems like a straight shooter. So, we got one.

Your comment seems like a poor attempt to put me in a box because I said a positive thing about a Republican.

Maybe Ron Wyden? Please correct me if he's done something awful but he's one of only a few members of congress I've seen consistently push for our privacy rights.

Not to my knowledge. We can keep him on the nice list... For now

I can believe it - it's just another measure of how fuX0r3d we are.
