As he has done in years past, Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul on Saturday participated in a humorous “airing of grievances,” a practice popularized on the television show Seinfeld.

Characters on Seinfeld celebrate the parody holiday “Festivus” by airing grievances with each other.

For years, Paul has been tweeting his grievances, and on Saturday, he took aim at President Trump, former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and joked about a recently revealed Pentagon program to investigate UFOs at Harry Reid's request.

“You’re going to be saying #HappyFestivus again,” Paul tweeted Saturday, channeling Trump. “Believe me!”

   Other than Paul being a GD Senator, hat tip to @DCPatriot, I know this has little to do with 'serious' politics but thought some were rather funny.  Tis the season to be jolly, so lighten up folks, Enjoy. Merry Christmas and Happy Festivus to all.



   Should we have a Festivus Thread so that we can all 'air our Grievances' against each other.....nah.....

Don't tell me to lighten up.  And don't use a stupid Seinfeld episode as an excuse to take digs at people.

I always hated Seinfeld, never understood its popularity.

The digs at Trump were pathetic.  Trump would have him for lunch.

The digs at Cruz were understandable.  Rand is obviously jealous of Cruz and his tweet, "you're likable enough.'  was pathetic.

I saw this earlier on Twitter—Rand has a pretty good sense of humor.  Who knew?

Thanks, @corbe.

 ^-^

HELL, NO!!! 

[truth_seeker]

It has probably taken him this long, to not hurt when he laughs.

I noticed he stated he helped treat former Sen. Reid's injured eye.

^-^

HELL, NO!!! 

   And a very Merry Christmas to you also, @DCPatriot

Merry Christmas to you, too, @corbe !

Yeah, he’s a doctor so I guess he should’ve stabbed him in it.

I saw this on Twitter and wondered what the heck was going on. Pretty sure Trump wouldn't "have him for lunch, " whatever that means.  Harmless fun, let it go.

The denseness of your postings show why you don't understand Seinfeld.

There's not that much to understand.  None of the people are likable, the situations aren't particularly clever or amusing.

But thanks for the insult to my postings.  Made me feel warm all over.

#Nevertrumper Kristol must have thought him quite clever and smart, that recent summer day.

My fave:


    On that same subject, I have a major #HappyFestivus #AiringofGrievances with my friend @SenatorReid
    — Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 23, 2017

    We argued about taxes. Fought about spending. Worked on repatriation together. I helped treat your eye injury...

Consider the source, @Emjay      ^-^

   I lost interest in Kristol before his Trump burnout but  if anyone had asked me a month ago if this Tax package Trump just signed was even possible, My answer would have been an emphatically NO!

[Concerned]

“It’s a Festivus for the rest of us!”  Happy Festivus to all (including those against whom I feel the need for the “airing of grievances” against). 

[Emjay]

Consider the source, @Emjay      ^-^

 

Thanks.  I will.  Frank's act has become really tiresome and I used to think he was funny.

@corbe   I was trying to be funny when I told you I wouldn't lighten up.  You can tell me to lighten up anytime you want to.  In fact, I would like to lighten up.

@Emjay

Then why don’t you do it instead of talking about it.  It’s not hard.

Ease up on @Frank Cannon.   He’s actually pretty funny during his conscious episodes.

Firsthand knowledge of those particular functions, then?
