If one thing became clear after qatar itself pushed back saying it was inaccurate to call it a gift, it's that trump likely asked them for the plane in the first place. They didn't just offer it. He's not going to turn it down.

To be clear, it's tge fact there are ongoing negotiations. If it'd been offered as a gift, you'd imagine things on Qatari side would've been settled before offering it. Only ledt for US to figure out how/if. So... negotiations over WHAT, exactly, are ongoing?
donny 2dolls is asleep, far too ancient, old, and decrepit
Never thought I would ever be on the same page as Rand Paul. Wow
JFC, I now live in a world where I find myself agreeing with Rand Paul and Laura Loomer! 🤦🏻♀️
Pretty bizarre isn't it.
Where’s Rand’s neighbor at?
Wow, Rand Paul almost sounds, probably right and he’s maybe sending the right signal and maybe he’s appearing to care about the constitution and how brave of him hoping maybe Don says no because people maybe might think he’s A FRIGIN GRIFTING MONEY HUNGRY EMBARRASSMENT TO THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT !!
It's "the appearance" that bothers republicans. Other than that they're fine with the act itself.
Trump looks so pathetic. A slouching slob, trading America’s integrity for more Trump towers.
Or he can just wait it out. Trump himself can pick the next outrage to throw into the news cycle, like chum to sharks. bsky.app/profile/jooc...
When Rand's other racist Daddy does it? It's sending the wrong signal. When an uppity n****r is accused of it...it's a "culture" of corruption. Y'know? *Their* culture says it's okay to steal. #FuckRandPaul
Does Rand Paul remember what the corrupt SCOTUS said about this stuff? They get to decide what the constitution actually means. "Call it a gratuity. Perfectly fine."
What are they going to do about it? Less than nothing.
bsky.app/profile/af68...
SENDS THE WRONG SIGNAL?! Wow.
For once, I agree with Rand Paul.
Republicans can’t just say what it actually is: corruption. Say it with me Senator Rand Paul. It’s corruption. Trump is corrupt.
He’s not wrong but I’m very distracted by his hair.
Tip toeing through two lips.
Rand Paul has no room to talk he and the other corrupt republicans are the cause of this.
Do you really think that Trump is going to turn that plane down? Hell it’s right in his wheel house. Gaudy and obnoxious
Is Paul not aware that 🍊💩 has defied the constitution already? On many occasions? Rs are using the constitution like Evangelicals use the bible. 🍒 picking
But ultimately, he'll be OK with it.
He will only turn it down if he thinks "the people" are appalled by it. He is sensitive to appearances. And if that happens, he will be so very angry, it might eat him alive.
I agree completely. The more Republicans come out about it, the better, but they are chickens.
Hey now. I have chickens and they all have spines
Excuse me. 😁 I wasn't referring to poultry, I was referring to spineless maga.
Yes, never strong enough to act with real morals.
Nope. Never.
Oh, swing that soft pillow Rand!
He should have just said the Constitution forbidden it
You "would hope" he would reject it? Jesus effing Christ, where does Don the Con keep his string of Republican nutsacks? In his desk?
Hey Rand Paul, would you be willing to impeach this corrupt motherf&cker if he does accept the 747? Unless you are willing to back up this teensy amount of courage you’ve gathered to run your mouth in public with an actual vote to impeach Dump, spare us the politicking.
Sure Rand, and I'm going to run a 3 minute mile tomorrow.
I'm starting to get a little concerned. I find myself agreeing with Rand Paul on another issue. Or, should I welcome this because it means that Americans who love our country and our Constitution have more in common that we originally thought?
If you listen to Rand’s exact words, he says, “I would hope that he rejects it.” Translation: he’s not going to lift a finger if Trump keeps the jet. This is the core rot of today’s GOP, mild disapproval wrapped in total complicity. They talk about principle but do nothing to stop the corruption.
Good catch. You are likely correct. This is probably more "concern BS." But at least he is speaking out publicly.
Yep, their words are just for SHOW, NO REAL ACTION to STOP ANYTHING Trump does!
This. Exactly.
I'm looking at (hopefully) seeing more steps in the right direction by Republicans. (There's safety in numbers). I hear what you're saying.
Who cares about constitution?
I can’t believe how often I find myself agreeing with Rand Paul. Truly an upside down world
Sheesh. When you actually agree with Rand Paul you know the the US is just about lost
Tr*mp DOESN'T care about the Constitution...and the Republicans will do what they have always done with Tr*mp...whimper and then acquiesce.
The question on Trump and the Qatari plane isn't "what will Trump do in return?" It should be "what has Trump already done in return?"
Secret American intelligence
With Pam Bondi having served as a lobbyist for Qatar and earning an ungodly 115k per month, the sky is seemingly the limit.
youtu.be/mR_q9llV-70?...
So much for "Made in America"....
OMG please take the fucking gloves off already. Enough with this careful, fainting couch language. Either come out swinging or sit down.
Gee, ya think?
He's FINALLY discovered the US Constitution 🙌
Saddest part is the toilet paper on his shoe is from a real video. His people hated him so much, no one would tell him.
OMFG!
Right on!😂
lol...
They know he’s bad news but they’ll do anything to be in power. Now look at the disaster as far as just being competent we have “running” the country into the ground.
Even the Orkin Man won’t be able to get the bugs out of that plane.
Yoink! This is going on the June 14th poster
More gold! Not enough gold!
When Rand Paul is the voice of reason, you know we've gone down the shitter.
It's one fucked up world when Rand Paul starts making sense.
Seriously! That shithead poops on everything good, so this is....welcome? Shocking? What Fringe universe are we in? What split the dimensions?
Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words. Yes , I am very cliché today.
Even then, he's being incredibly tame about it.
What constitution?!🙄
The Constitution, this, the Constitution that... everyone knows this administration bends the Constitution to their whims. This practice is the backbone of Leonard Leo's domestic terrorist cell, the Federalist Society.
Did he forget to say, there's nothing I can do about it, or is it just implied?
Who would have ever guessed Rand Paul would become the Republican voice of reason....
He can accept it only if Congress allows it. So it is really on you & your colleagues, Senator. youtu.be/PeU5I_KSjyw
I hate it when I agree with Rand Paul.
Weird how right-wing politicians as radical as Rand Paul can become rational when their State's economy is threatened. Is this "the way"? 🤔
A forlorn hope.
"I would hope he rejects it." You know it's in Article 1 of the US Constitution which is: "CONGRESS". So it doesn't matter what he wants, you CAN MAKE IT NOT ALLOWED BY A SIMPLE VOTE. But you won't because you guys are all cowards.
How hard would it have been to say, "if he doesn't reject it - we will hold him accountable and impeach him based on Article 1" ? Ah, yes... A spine would be needed. Feckless jellyfish in fucking suits.
He knows damn well that Trump won't do a thing about it.
“probably sends the wrong signal” 🙄
Ok, Rand Paul is correct here, except "...I hope he would reject it." The problem is "they" have taken so many paths to justify and rationalize accepting the plane and claiming it's not a gift.
Even worse optics than usual along side a vote to strip healthcare from 70 million Americans. But...go ahead.. 2026 is barreling at us.
Bro is a RINO now. That’s wild. Our next dem president will have to pardon him, I’m sure 🤣
There will be no Dem president… Teump is there for Life .. he’s already a dictator. He’s now claiming Dem policies as his- tax the 1%, lower Rx costs .. protect Medicare Repubs quickly forget the damage. Nov 2026- either a reset or the end. No need to wait for 2028.
He's not there for life. . . Unless that's in the next six months. But that's entirely up to him. He can "eyeball" Alcatraz all he wants. 🤣
I hope that you’re correct All current actions - and worse - INACTIONS Leads me to be very pessimistic If only we had something like Checks & Balance Or .. I don’t know Like a hmmmm like a bunch of judges who use the Constitution to hmmmm Point out illegal / unconstitutional acts! 🫣
You're forgetting "the people". . . You really think Americans will just "accept" all this shit and put up with it for the next three and a half years?? I doubt it.
Stop at the Eeyore 🐂 💩 It’s not true and it’s stupid to even make that statement
There is no RINO, because there is no Republican platform. Congress has ceded power to self-enriching fools.
The orange shitgibbon is so bad that RAND PAUL is making sense…
There is a lot more to the Qatar story: bsky.app/profile/rond...
Sickening
Is that mofo really talking about the Constitution? Please...
Wait 'till he gets a look at Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution!!
I am glad he is starting to speak up—BUT he and the GOP need to take action and show that there is still a a tiny bit of checks and balance.
The GOP won't speak up. If they do, Trump will cause his cultists to threaten their lives and then he'd primary them in 2026.
God willing and bar Musk’s interference…they will all lose. And then all the investigations and Impeachments will begin.
I prayed on my way to and from the dermatologist's office this morning that God is willing to help us save our democracy.
I’m asking when will God get enough of the cruelty from a bunch of “good Christians”, I’ve asked my MAGA Bible and Gun toting brother, he just looks at me.
Probably sends the wrong message? No Dick crap Tracy He doesn’t care He loves rubbing our noses in it
Perhaps the moron called Rand Paul should not have supported the Criminal n Chief?
couldn't you guys complain AFTER he does the crime, so he can be punished? If every time he says he's going to do a huge crime everyone's reactions warn him not to do it, you'll never have grounds to punish him. the plane would be such a slam dunk. come On.
Why does he have devil horn hair?
Have you heard the phrase “if the shoe fits?” It worked out well for Cinderella. Rand Paul has to be right once every decade.
What will he do if he does accept it? Absolutely nothing because he, like his colleagues, are afraid of a moron wannabe king
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a republican comment on a country’s “human rights record” before.
Rand Paul—there must be a cold breeze wafting through hell—defender of the Constitution?
He hopes
Read and share 👇🏽 bsky.app/profile/anne...
Wrong signal? Paul is being too soft here. It's a blatant violation of the emoluments clause and should be said as such - the common phrase is ... "That's a bribe."
Whoever it was who let him go on public TV with his hair looking like that deserves a raise. 😂
Clown Rand Paul better watch his back
Rand: “Optics first, Constitution after.”
A grifter refusing to take a "gift?" Oh, please...
When you have lost Rand Paul.
I can't believe that I agree with Rand Paul.
I'm so confused. Twice this week I have agreed with him.
Trump doesn’t have the character to reject it
When Rand Paul pushes back you know it stinks
probably? The proper word is DEFINITELY!
Then fucking impeach, convict and remove him.
Oh, look, virtue signaling. It's too late because randy has already proven what a whiny poltroon he is!
whats going on with rando's hair
Sends the wrong signal?! It is highly illegal!
I say this more often then I ever knew...who knew RAND PAUL would become the voice of reason.
Have to say Rand Paul continues to surprise me I hope more R’s back him up.
So what is he going to do about it?
Equating Hamas with Qatar is like calling Switzerland the Taliban for hosting peace talks. Lazy racism, which Trump did first, and louder (before happily accepting their gold-festooned "gift")
Ask for our AL-NUSRA frequent flyer reward
What a joke. Cowards, the whole lot of them. The orange one doesn't give a damn about the appearance of it. He's a crook who's going to keep right on crooking.
Oh my god. DC is so screwed up. Rand Paul is now the voice of reason. We must be in an episode of the twilight zone.
What is happening?
Stop news; well known worm 🪱 indicates the possibility of turning is under consideration.
Or maybe Congress could DO ITS F-ING JOB!
Impeach and convict!
Hell, I’d be happy for at least a strongly worded letter from Republicans.
This, one million times.
He is a criminal, weak and out to rob America. It sends the correct signal you simp
Trump is already on record that he will accept the Qatar jet. Congress needs to stop it. Why aren't more Republicans speaking up against it?
Because this is the world they want. You know, for when it's finally their turn to fleece the American public.
Members of Congress are already fleecing the public. That is why so many of them are now millionaires when they weren't when they were first elected. They have access to insider info from businesses that they use to make stock trades.
But the presidency is the "Big One" you always see them talk about in heist movies.
If FLOTUS isn't high on something, I'll eat my hat. Leon probably shared Ketamine with him.
These people are a joke, and trump is for sure taking that plane lol
It's pretty scary when Rand Paul is the voice of reason!
bsky.app/profile/af68...
Since when did Trump give the monkeys about the constitution?
Whatever happened to buy American?
You sell arms to people who attacked you?
HA HA HA HA HA HA! OMG, REJECT A GIFT? A shiny gold-plated gift, designed to appeal to a magpie? Rand... have you MET TRUMP?
I HATE agreeing with Rand Paul!
When Rand Paul is the voice of reason 😭😭
FOX biz all in for anything 47 does. Business is distant second to the politics
"I don't like the look of it" came before the Constitution prohibits it? Sheesh.
Can the Saudis just keep Trump? He likes it there, with everything covered in gold flake.
So he says it’s unconstitutional but his only quibble is the appearance of it?
Paul Rand is now the voice of reason?
Yeah well, he can sit and spin on his “concern”. We all know how useful that is.
Paul: I hope he would reject it, but I’ll do jack shit if he accepts it. 🥱
Bingo.
So shameful. Every time I think I’m at a loss for words. It gets worse
And everyday it’s something new 🤦🏻♀️
Yep, we need "Fresh " daily to keep us off of the real shit !
Thats the actual strategy. Flooding the zone with sh*t
The political right wing is only good at one thing: Whining. Don't keep waiting for any Republican to step up and do the right thing. Join us in #USProtests
Boom!
You fixed it.
Once again Rand Paul is making sense which is a sentence I never thought I’d be saying. But damn the Republican Party has fallen so far down if he is the logical one
You know things are bad when Rand Paul is the voice of reason. #FOTUS #NotMyPresident
LMAO is that what he's doing here? 😂
He's not the "voice of reason". "probably" and he "hopes" ... come on!
If rand paul was being the voice of reason he would be starting senate investigations
Exactly. He's pandering to his voters because he's up for reelection, so he's pretending. He's not actually going to do anything, and he'll continue to vote right along party lines. The only time he would vote against them is if he knows that it won't make any difference.
Hopefully Trump has shot himself in the foot with this and all the other RIDICULOUS STUFF he is doing atm. 🤞
bsky.app/profile/af68...
Blah blah blah blah So efn sick of it
trump doesn't care.
Trump has no regard for what The Constitution specifically says. His oath to the constitution was merely play acting in order to trick his maga-dunces.
He thinks he will get away with it, since he didn't place his hand on a bible while he was taking the Presidential Oath to uphold the Constitution. He is a Criminal President who schemes to enrich himself.
What. The. Fuck. Died. On. His. Head. ??
His hair would be on fire if Biden or any other Dem would be doing this
It’s a little weird that they want to gift a plane to be used as an Air Force one plane. The US government already provides one. A country that has the highest net worth in the world. Even weirder that the president of the US would accept that such a gift.
Where does he work again? Oh….
Well he says it’s against the constitution
The checks and balances arent checking or balancing
I never thought I would agree with Rand Paul. But here it is. But you know that drumpf will not do the right thing unless he's absolutely forced to. He has no moral underpinning.
Trump in that photo looks exactly as we, the American people, want our presidents to look . . . bad posture, half-dead, bored, uncomfortable . . . Just kidding. We don't want what we see there.
All he needed to say was that last sentence.
It's so tacky. You know he wants it.
If even Rand Paul is too polite for reality, things REALLY need to change.
Rand probably thinks that using Molotov cocktails to murder a few hundred orphans "probably sends the wrong signal." It shouldn't be this impossible to say that something wrong is wrong.
Since when Russiablicans care about the constitution? They hate American people unless they are minorities
Millionaires not minorities. Stupid auto correct
WTF is going on? I'm finding myself agreeing more and more with Rand Paul. We definitely are in Bazaro World.
🤯
Seems people don’t care about the Constitution. We should change that after the impeachment
just one more reason to impeach felon47 in a long list of reasons to impeach him
So now Rand Paul - of all people - is starting to make sense. The simple fact of the matter is that 47 doesn't care who he pisses off. The only 'side' he's on is his own. His only 'ideology' is to get away with as much as he can, no matter who it hurts or how much. Peak Narcissistic Asshole.
We are officially in the upside down world. I’m actually agreeing more and more with Rand Paul.
Rand Paul somehow missed the Memo, didn't he? The Republican "Fuck It All - We Do What We Want While the Criming is Hot"- Memo
The big 🍊 magpie is salivating over both the palace in the sky jet and what he believes is adoration by Qatar. Everyone else knows what it is ....
..... Bro has ignored the rest of the constitution and they think he's gonna suddenly listen to it NOW? Miss me with that crap.
The Constitution? you mean the thing the administration is wiping their ass with daily? got it
Aren’t all Trump voters RINOs?
MAGA should be its own party
The elected officials are, at least. They hide behind the Conservative label when, for most of them, the correct label is "Fascist". Most of the voters are disinformed by right wing "media".
its really as simple as that.
“So I would hope he would reject it.” Really? YOU HOPE??? Hoping doesn’t DO anything. Come on, grow a spine and stop this! Congress has the power…USE IT!!!!!!!!
"probably sends the wrong message" is that the best you can do elected official?!? so pathetic. its ILLEGAL.
Gifts from foreign leaders? Paul acting like we’re talking about a dozen golf balls.
News flash Rand Paul… the president of the United States of America doesn’t give a shit about what the constitution says and neither do you republicans who are so week and pathetic that your afraid to stand up to a pants shitting man-baby!
You’re not your
Rando should know, of all people, that The Constitution is worthless when those--like him--who swore to uphold it just decided... nah.
I agree that it wrong
EXPLICITLY
Might be a blessing in disguise. Let him accept the palace in the sky.
That was some serious ball licking
Even in their attempt to criticize Krasnov, these MAGA stooges sound so weak with their selective wording. They are the human equivalent of invertebrates.
Oh, so he DOES know what the constitution says...
The problem here is that Trump doesn’t give a fuck about the constitution. All he cares about is stacking up more money on his family vault.
bsky.app/profile/trum...
His kids might OD with all that $$$$
They’re subject to federal seizure as well. That’s why he can’t allow another election.
Long past that time. It's time to do the other thing.
Prison for life... like his identical predecessor, Manson
This is perfect. Creepily perfect.
It's a crazy situation when your interests align with Rand Paul
Q: So, will you demand that the president not accept the plane? A: Oh, Lord no! That would require a spine…
What signal is the purple tie sending?
Did you ever think Rand Paul would be a defender of democracy? But here we are...
Naw.. he’s just not wanted to be overshadowed by Looney Loomer and Russian asset Poole. Rand always talks a big game but his voted never back them up.
🇺🇸
Yes, probably.
That's some "wet-paper-bag" level defense right there.
You have channeled my thought precisely.
#BizarroWorld I'm actually feeling grateful for Rand Paul?
bsky.app/profile/af68...
That right Rand. Good boy! You get a treat. 🤬 #Congress #GOPSpinelessCowards
Since when does Trump know the constitution.
Thanks Captain Obvious!
Giving a criminal immunity lets the criminal crime without consequence. 👎🏻
bsky.app/profile/trum...
I'm glad Mr. Paul objects but that isn't going to affect anything in this facist regime. Trump will get his golden plane, and the gun & war material contractors will make billions and billions for their bank accounts. He does absolutely nothing for the country & has gotten away with every crime.
With congressional approval.
I guess Sen. Paul is no longer working for Putin.
"I would hope" is pretty weak from all these jacked up a-holes who claim they are the sole arbiters of patriotism & ethics (always been laughable & false, but here you can see how utterly performative & w/out substance it is).😡🤦♀️🙄
That sounds rather wishy-washy on Rand Paul's part. "probably sends the wrong signal?" Gee, ya think Rand Paul?? Does Paul also know that even he can't accept gifts of $20 or more from anybody, even companies, not just foreign leaders, and said gift is to be disclosed?
Finally some common ground with Rand Paul.
The constitution also said insurrectionists can’t run for office but here we are Rand.
bsky.app/profile/trum...
How did we get here? 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤬
Ok so his main concern is “not a good look” then throws in “oh btw unconstitutional.” These fuckers.
The wrong signal? Like the mobbed up, wildly corrupt signal?
Probably sends the wrong signal?! 🤦🏻♀️
He hopes that trump would reject it…if there was only something someone, let’s say a senator, could do
It’s only “probably”
Specifically prohibited by the constitution but “probably sends the wrong signal.”
These motherfuckers 🙄
Was all he really needed to say, well, before MAGA when there was a Constitution.
Sorta sends the wrong signal. Might send. Could possibly? Oooff. Too strong. Go with “probably” or fifty-fifty.
Maybe he’ll put out a “strongly-worded” statement like Schumer.
This MFer is starting to make sense to me and I'm scared. 😆 I'm being Paul-Pilled.
Come on where are your balls! You’d all be yelling from the rooftops if this was any other president. Come on really that’s all you got wtf?!!!! Impeach him are y’all not tired of looking and sounding so incredibly fucking stupid!!!!
Rand Paul sounds almost...stable. We really are fucked. Scary when you think Rand Paul could have been an improvement as a President in another timeline. Fuck me.
Looks like two murders sitting next to each other.
Bud, your "hoping" is naive. He has been dreaming about it. There is no way he is going to say no thank you.
OMG. What a clown.
Weak response
So it’s unconstitutional, right Rand?
Some handwringing from Congress on both sides but no action to declare a solid no from Congress. And they have a power to say no.
Why can't he say this more forcefully?
wouldn't matter. Nobody gives a 💩what he has to say, for good reason.
