Skewering SHITLER and Rand PAUL in my LttE - the only time I don't say "SHITLER"

In observance of Constitution Day, there was a tweet from Libertarian Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky saying that the Constitution is for restraining the power of the government, not of the people — nice, feel good words.

He and many others have spent the past decades proclaiming their being more freedom-loving than any-body else, yet have settled for aiding and abetting President Trump in exploring what powers he can wield without checks and balances — pardons, declassifying sensitive intelligence, waging a trade war with tariffs, among others.

The president has focused precisely on lack of restraint, abusing the powers for vendettas and personal gain. At least he is acting on what he really believes, instead of how Sen. Paul apparently thinks that pretty words are enough.
