Too bad Rand's flavor of "freedom" doesn't apply to women's reproductive rights. Oh, and swooning Rand bois, domestic spying started under the other guy. It was actually us yelling about it then.

Sadly, when most think of how Senate rules favor obstructionism, they think it has to be showboaty nonsense like this, and don't think it's so bad.

In reality, the real, effective obstruction like the blue slip process on judicial nominees takes place behind the scenes, and quietly, and all the time.

Well, now even if he gets elected President (snicker), we're going to have to call him Bamz Junior. His own party will stamp their little feet and hold their little collective breaths and not pass anything or do anything because there's a booger-head that they don't like in office, and the Dems can all follow suit just because he's a grade-A turd. Smooth moves there, Paul.
