1. This may have been when Rand was

talking about Iraq and how we never should have gone there? Or maybe marijuana legalization. Those were the only sane things he said.

2. I think from what I read it was about Paul's comment

on the justice/prision/ pot thing......

The tweet is timed so it can be traced to what and when in the debate

That being said, I admire john and his music however his tweet is being
used as support for this jerk by the right wing. Which legitimizes Paul

maybe we will hear something later on this from him.

3. Yeah, I wouldn't thank Paul for anything.

His positions on everything else are loony and would be disastrous.

4. John Legend is a musician

Why do I care what he thinks about politics?

5. 7,5 million followers

if that counts.

9. Also, musicians can have opinions too.

I hate it when someone just shits on a thread instead of trashing it if they aren't interested.

7. John Legend also does paid speaking gigs.

He spoke at PTKs Nerd Nation last year.

8. Apparently, you do not.

Others do.
