Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* Yes. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) (he claims to be a doctor but has no active certification and none is needed in backwards Kentucky), voted against emergency aid funding to combat the coronavirus! A doctor! Oh, that's right. He's a Republican doctor. That's different! So much for that "I solemnly consecrate my life to the service of humanity" oath. Republican $enators and House members often balk at providing aid to their fellow Americans in times of dire need. It's who they are.
