"They can't arrest all of us", but they definitely won't be arresting Rand Paul, because his shiny, likely vaccinated ass isn't going to do anything putting himself sideways anywhere. He's encouraging dumbfucks that he is pretty certain love to be told they are wearing very special consequence-proof libertarian armor, because freedom, mom's apple pie, and the Sekret Lemon Juice Writing on the Real (TM) Constitution that you can only see when you set that bitch on fire. It's your thing--do what you want to do! Rand Paul, however, is definitely going to tell you who to sock it to, though. The CDC, The Man, and based on his regular sparring with Dr. Fauci, you know....competent medical professionals and people who actually understand what public service actually means.Rand Paul today: “It’s time for us to resist. They can’t arrest all of us .. No one should follow the CDC.” He then says he will introduce amendments to defund any govt agency that seeks to enforce CDC guidelines, including schools. pic.twitter.com/PYOQtKDYBN

Rand Paul has a peculiar idea of service--he's agin' it. Like, why are people with needs occasionally looking to people with means to accomplish those ends? (Or as we call it, a functioning society.) Why listen to people who know what they are talking about when idiots can have opinions, too?
I don't know, although I doubt Rand Paul grows his own food or treats his own water, although it's apparent he cuts his own hair. What he's missing in this picture is: Sometimes people who are experts at stuff get paid to offer good advice and then do that thing, sometimes they even do it for free, and maybe it's a good idea to listen to people who know what they are talking about, especially where social contact is the thing spreading the disease--because we are not people living in little islands all to ourselves, but people who live in a society where people go to school and work and do shopping in congregated places. Among people. Who can pass along a deadly disease. To people who did not especially want it to happen, like unvaccinated children.
Senator AquaBuddha here seems very high on his own hot air supply. Here he's visiting "Galt's Glitch", which is, IMHO, the obverse of the Galt's Gulch coin, Men of the mind who are minding themselves are going to fuck up at doing necessary communal shit that our cave-dwelling forebears would have easily understood. You need to understand that the price of freedom is responsibility. And shirking responsibility leads to disaster that will, ultimately, limit your choices for very exacting reasons. Like there are no hospital beds. No one can treat you. Your kid's school is locked down because a communicable disease is rampant--and:
It was all preventable if one could have tried not to be very special and cry "Liberty!", but listened and made adult choices. He's courting the snowflakes who want to feel special about how much they don't follow the rules of "The man". But he's flirting with telling scared people facing death all around them that they need to fight an external source (medical experts) instead of just doing basic hygienic things. For a political end? To win over stiff necks who somehow survive to 2022?
To make them fight for him? Maybe, since he appreciated violence as a tool. He might have his eye on 2024, not just 2022 is all. It's all grim: I would rather any sane person who understands politics and public health even a little: that isn't Rand Paul.
