    August 2018 – Goes to Moscow and meets with Russian lawmakers extending an invitation to visit the United States. While abroad, Paul tweets that he delivered a letter to Russian leader Vladimir Putin from US President Donald Trump. A White House spokesman later says that Paul asked Trump to provide a letter of introduction. After he returns, Paul says that he plans to ask Trump to lift sanctions on members of the Russian legislature so they can come to Washington for meetings with their American counterparts.

          You do know who Ron Paul is right? Rand is completely different from his father. And not in a good way.

          He’s one of the only Republicans to vote continuously against the patriot act.

          Ron had his faults, but he at least stuck to what he said and voted how he thought. Not how the party told him to. Probably the last true conservative/libertarian.

    I don’t get these clowns that point out one or two shitty things the president they supported being elected might be doing. They did everything they could to inhibit or undermine any democratic action or safeguards that might have been employed, goose-stepped right along with everyone else supporting the regime, but complains about what the regime does?

    They can surveil Deez Nutz then.

    Unlike Russia we don’t have 500 years of state subsidized alcoholism combined with overt tyrannical rule.
