Also confirmed, after a year of waiting Richard Grenell, Ambassador to Germany. Why did they obstruct his nomination, well he's gay and a cancer survivor.

That’s a lot of excess calories right there.

Maybe they will end the famine after all.

Randy, I hope you're satisfied with the Frog's speecification today. What a fucking chump you must feel like. Hopefully.

Not every representative from KY is a pathetic loser, at least.

To Hell with France; to Hell with European Socialism and Empire.

[Speaker to Animals]

Kentucky elects the craziest people to federal office. Sometimes I wonder if it's just a very long-running joke on America, or is Kentucky the joke? I can't say for sure.

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

How dare you disparage the state that gave us Bill Monroe?

[Speaker to Animals]

They also gave us Tom Cruise.

Rand Paul will vote against Trump's pick for attorney general

Sen. Rand Paul said Monday that he will vote against confirming President Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, William Barr, citing his record on privacy issues.

"I'm a no," the Kentucky Republican said in a brief interview. "He's been the chief advocate for warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens. I think that the Fourth Amendment should protect your phone calls and your bank information. People shouldn't be allowed to look at it without a warrant."

Paul previously criticized Barr's record on surveillance issues, including his support of the Patriot Act.

The Senate is expected this week to vote on Barr's final confirmation. Despite Paul's opposition, Barr is expected to be confirmed with near unanimous support from Republicans. Moderate Republicans like Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah and Cory Gardner of Colorado have said they will support Barr's nomination. In addition, Democratic Sen. Doug Jones of Alabama said last week he would vote to confirm Barr.
