Rand Paul vs 'JD Don't Care': Military Strikes & Twitter Tantrums
In a face-off thatâs part political theatre, part bad reality TV, Senator Rand Paul slammed VP JD Vance for calling a US strike on a Venezuelan drug boat the 'highest and best use of our military' â understandably earning JD the nickname 'I don't give a sh-t Vance.' This toxic tango unfolded after Trumpâs administration quietly canned a Senate briefing on the attack killing 11 alleged Tren de Aragua terrorists. Border czar Tom Homan opted to dodge legal questions by tossing them back to DOJ or 'Department of War'âyes, they literally rebranded Defense. Meanwhile, Democrats fumed in the dark as Mr. Usual Suspect Maduro was called a drug cartel kingpin with a $50 million bounty, while lawmakers itch for legal clarity on turning ships into war zones without a court date.

'JD Donât Care' tweets that turning cartel boat targets into bad memory lanes is 'highest & best use' of military. Meanwhile, Rand Paul plays the moral side-eye card, and Trump's Department of War rebranding makes you wonder if a Dunkin' Donuts strike is next.
Only in 2025 does a VP endorse boat assassinations on X, Senate briefings get ghosted, and the US Department of War tries to out-violent video games. Pass the popcornâor maybe just a lawyer.
Trumpâs Department of War: Now with more 'highest and best use' military strikes and less transparency. Rand Paulâs moral outrage is the closest thing to adult supervision this circus has.
