    I mean, honestly? That might be another explanation. Some combination of sanctions, effective counterintelligence, or “Ukraine is getting their weapons so what the hell are we paying you for” blocking the payments.

    Russia’s not running out of money any time soon (not on the scale of the laughably small amounts that it takes to corrupt people in the US government), but there are other reasons why people might not be getting their checks anymore. And Rand Paul is still going strong, where he’s one of the people who’s just motivated by some absolutely cockeyed internal compass that gravitates unerringly to the wrong answer on absolutely everything, so that would track, too.

      Such a beautiful description of Rand Paul.

      Its like he knows the rught way but will not act that way unless paid to.

      Very liberdashian.
