The Dotard is scheduled to leave for Mar-a-Lago Friday. The government shuts down at midnight.

Will he stay and sign the bill, will he sign it and cut out in the middle of the night, or will the gutless coward stay at the White House Saturday and greet 500,000 marchers?

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is teeing up the $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill approved earlier Thursday by the House to stave off a possible government shutdown that would begin at midnight Friday.

Republicans have made it clear they want to vote Thursday, allowing lawmakers to leave for a two-week recess as scheduled.

But in order to do that, McConnell needs the consent of every senator — including GOP Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.).

What could Rand be thinking?

1. What are the chances Rand Paul shuts down the government?

2. 80%

I'm not an expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express before.

3. I'm for ANYTHING that pisses off the Dotard...

or adds to a seriously bad day for him!

A LOT of Senate R's are pissed!

We may need a few of them in the no-to-distant future!!!!

4. Remember "read the bill"?

Back in 2010, when all those grass-roots, totally-not-paid-for Tea Baggers spontaneously showed up with all their custom-made signs to protest against Congress passing bills that nobody had allegedly read? Oh, the Fox bots and the CNBC assholes would gas on for hours on end about how slipshod Congress' practices were.

Eight years later? Not a peep.

5. Hypocrisy's finest hour!

This same issue was the one Rand Paul DID shut the government down over!
