Sure is weird how "libertarians" only ever throw their weight around against Republicans and in favor of Democrats. It's almost like they are acting as controlled opposition and always have been.
Paul is in the Senate. It is his body. The Senate Democrats have shut down the government. He is there in the thick of it. Why is Paul calling on Daddy to come resolve a Senate problem?
The Zoomer-haired lolbert is right! Government does work better when it's just a few guys in a room making all the decisions. In fact, if you really want to get things moving, we should make it a closed-door meeting with no oversight and no official record! And we should make it so their decisions are binding! In fact, since they're so efficient, I really don't see any need for them to have to constantly waste time and money running for reelection. Also, I don't really see the need for any mechanism to remove them from office, since they're clearly enlightened enough and mature enough to reach that decision for themselves. Go liberty!
Well yeah, benevolent (and competent) monarchy is absolutely better than what we have now. But malevolent monarchy is significantly worse. The thing is it is getting bad enough where many people are happy to risk the latter for a chance at getting the former to fix the country.
Look, government shutdown are retarded, because (up to now, at least) every single time all the employees get back pay. Trump is hardcore enough that he may not go in for that.
Update: Apparently the 2019 "Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019" mandates backpay for government employees after a shutdown.

Even on a personal level they are sleaze.
“Oh I would never do it myself but we need to legalize all vices, tax churches, codify abortion, and open the borders. That way we live & let live.”
To be fair the republican party is also controlled opposition.
Why would anyone have an interest in "figuring something out" with Democrats at this point...

Exactly. Have orange man name 3 from each party? There is nothing preventing them from arranging that among themselves.

Oh wait, instead of a couple of people behind closed doors, how about just one person behind closed doors. That’ll really simplify things!
That could still work out far better than what we have now. I'm willing to give a new monarchy a chance.

Their blood is blue while ours is red. Therefore they are better than us.

This is pure theater.
why would you link the bulwark?
what is there a need to come together on? there's already a deal: the clean cr. the dems can take it or leave it until they will take it.
You can't negotiate this out.
Trump has the Epstein files. They don't incriminate him. He's probably using them to blackmail the Democrats to push the shutdown.
"Throw The Ring into the lava Trumpo!" (release the files)
"... No." (use the files)
Finally, someone gets it.
Leverage, son. Leverage.
His drug money from Venezuela is drying up & the government is shut down so he can’t graft from there.
