August 2018 – Goes to Moscow and meets with Russian lawmakers extending an invitation to visit the United States. While abroad, Paul tweets that he delivered a letter to Russian leader Vladimir Putin from US President Donald Trump. A White House spokesman later says that Paul asked Trump to provide a letter of introduction. After he returns, Paul says that he plans to ask Trump to lift sanctions on members of the Russian legislature so they can come to Washington for meetings with their American counterparts.

From the internet.

Pretty sure that's his son Rand but no love for either of course.

It is. Oh shit I didn't realize the article is Ron. Or to be honest, he was still alive. But, something something the apple doesn't fall far from the tree

You do know who Ron Paul is right? Rand is completely different from his father. And not in a good way.

He's one of the only Republicans to vote continuously against the patriot act.

Ron had his faults, but he at least stuck to what he said and voted how he thought. Not how the party told him to. Probably the last true conservative/libertarian.

Ron Paul's alive? Why's his son sucking MAGA cock in congress?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Because rand never followed his fathers political leanings. Rand was just straight up repub and now magat.

Oh hey, grandpa "the government shouldn't do that" creaks on out to be a broken clock.

Bigoted prick has no trouble with private businesses doing whatever they want with your privacy.

I don’t get these clowns that point out one or two shitty things the president they supported being elected might be doing. They did everything they could to inhibit or undermine any democratic action or safeguards that might have been employed, goose-stepped right along with everyone else supporting the regime, but complains about what the regime does?

They can surveil Deez Nutz then.

Unlike Russia we don't have 500 years of state subsidized alcoholism combined with overt tyrannical rule.
