Suddenly Tom Cotton has a brain. Glad his constituents showed up to remind him where the fuck it's at.

I think Tom Cotton is fairly smart.

Unfortunately I think he's also the "bomb the shit out of everyone and only spend money to bomb more shit" kind of "intelligent."

Ah, so a typical Republicant then.

Eeyup.

Points for walking the walk and actually being a vet who served instead of relying on Daddy to avoid military service.

Failing grade for being the one who thought up the Congress Letter To Iran.

“I’m afraid that if they vote for this bill, they’re going to put the House majority at risk next year,” [Tom Cotton] said during an interview with ABC’s “This Week.”

Oh, now wouldn't that just be a crying shame. Just makes me want to wring my hands and cry rub my hands together and cackle with glee.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) on Sunday urged House Republicans not to vote for House Speaker Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) Obamacare repeal bill, warning them that a vote in favor of the legislation could haunt them in the 2018 midterm elections.

so the motivation here is not that it would do active harm to living, breathing human beings, but that it might threaten their jobs (and, let's be real, the position to continue to do active harm to living, breathing human beings)?

well, at least they're finally being honest about how fucking awful they are instead of cloaking it in vague right-wing platitudes. i don't even see conservatives bothering to pretend they're decent people anymore, it's just middle finger after middle finger and "ha ha, we've got the majority, try and stop us".

not even 6 am and i've achieved internet sunburn. a new record!
