Rand Paul a selfish asshole? Well I never would have imagined!
I like how the tweet stressed his staff was safe since they are remote and then he proceeded to hang out with all the other senators in his caucus.

Oh OK, I misunderstood then. I thought that was a live pic.
Craig Caplan @CraigCaplanManchin from Senate floor: "The proposal Leader McConnell from Republicans side has put forth is totally worried about Wall Street. I'm worried about the people in little rural WV & all over main street. That's the people we're worried about. Wall Street's going to do just fine."
Manchin: "If we had to vote today at this time, I would have vote No, not to proceed. We'll stay here all night long. They're worried about what happens to the markets in the morning. We'll work around the clock. I can stay here until 7 or 8 o'clock in the morning."

Gotta ensure that
I don't have a Twitter handle, but if I did, I'd try and make #TheNeighborWasRight trending.
Manchin drives me nuts 90% of the time but this is the kind of guy he is the 10% of the time that I love him.
So disgusting. They don't give a damn about he people out of work or the people on severely reduced hours.
Their hatred of poor people is outstripping their love for the economy (because they really should see the necessity of helping people pay their bills and buy goods to keep this economy moving and to keep the recession from becoming a depression).
The fact that US senators are still allowed to use a common gym AT ALL at this point is freaking ridiculous. What the hell?
Sigh. Every student should have been concerned but we all knew that plenty would not give a damn.
someone pointed out these fucks come from all over the country, which means they're carrying it back everywhere, too
This would be the complete destruction of our economic system and would need a modern version of the New Deal to get out of.
This was one of the inherent dangers of transitioning the US economy into a service based economy. Yet another gift from W. Bush.
Giving surgery to corporations and a tiny bandage to average Americans. Seems Republican.
I'm not sure a collapsing employment rate will hurt Trump (in time). Especially not if it recovers before the election. Will it matter either way, though? Biden seems to be well positioned. I'd rather not rely on fluctuating factors, if I don't have to.
The economy is not going to bounce back. I walk around and see restaurants that have been shut and will close. All those people will be unemployed. We blew our chance to contain this.
Sorry--not trying to be negative. I just don't think our current economy can handle 30% unemployment. The number of bankruptcies would be outrageously high, and I don't trust corporations to not just pocket any stimulus money just like they did with the tax breaks.
LOL Democrats about to get the majority.
...You don't think double-digit unemployment and a recession will hurt an unpopular incumbent.
The transition to a service economy happened long before W. Bush. It happens as economies grow and advance.
Does Rand HAVE to come out of quarantine in two weeks? Can't he just stay there indefinitely, for the good of the country?
Yes. Senate requires a quorum. As long as there are 51 Senators, anything can happen.
Manchin clones for red/lean red states and Warren clones for blue states? Obama clones to forever take the Presidency?
That's some bullshit for optics while tests are still hard to get for Americans. They're gonna retest any legislator he's come into contact with recently.
