It is hard to overstate the extremity of Cotton’s militarism. He criticizes John F. Kennedy not for invading Cuba and trying to assassinate its leader, but for failing to try hard enough to invade Cuba and assassinate its leader. Cotton says that JFK should have deposed Castro because it was in our “interests” to do so, international law and respect for sovereignty being irrelevant. Cotton defends the 1953 U.S.-backed overthrow of the Iranian government of Mohammad Mosaddegh, saying that it was actually “Mossadegh who mounted a coup by clinging to office” instead of letting us depose him. Cotton’s view on the Vietnam War is that the United States was not aggressive enough (even though the U.S. sent half a million troops, dropped more bombs on Southeast Asia than had been dropped in all of World War II, and the war killed millions of Vietnamese people). Cotton says we should have continued to back the Somoza dictatorship in Nicaragua, that there should be no respect for international legal institutions like the International Criminal Court (“foreign bureaucrats”), and that Woodrow Wilson should have prosecuted World War I with greater zeal (and framed it as a struggle for U.S. “interests” rather than a war for the future of democracy). Cotton believes that any admission that the U.S. has committed crimes or even made mistakes is “apologizing for America,” virtually tantamount to treason. Of course, he thinks Joe Biden should have stayed in Afghanistan and “won,” without giving any explanation as to how that could have been done.

🙄 … can’t stand the Cotton man!! — law and Congress taken!! — enemy of the people!!

By: Colin Tiyani Anderson, Artist/Digital Fabricator, from LinkedIn …

“The Times they are A-Changin', Lives are Being Lost, Lines are Being Drawn, You Cannot Not Choose …

Are we one? One people, one humanity, one planet, one future? Or are we a divisive bunch of pro-Israeli shills forever-extending the sell-by-date of European Colonialism: self-interested, genocidal chancers needlessly spreading lies and hate?

You decide. This is the time.

Do you want to live in a Zionist, Police State where no criticism of Israel is permitted? Or do you want to live in an inclusive society that respects free speech, the right to protest, and International Humanitarian law?

It's one or the other. The hate of Zionism or the mutual respect of multi-culturalism. All of the ridiculously-expensive proxy wars that the United States has fought on behalf of Israel will only end when the scourge of Zionism is defeated in America.

When both Republicans and Democrats are proud Zionists, the entire Government becomes the enemy of the people. We can only hope that ordinary Americans display the same level of disdain for their Israeli overlords as they did for their British overlords. As a once-proud Brit, I say, "please, do the entire world a favour and remove these hateful Zionists from power."

I was going to print some of the nasty lies that Senator Tom Cotton spewed with regard to the American students' anti-genocide protests on college campuses but I don't believe that it would get past the Linkedin censors. If you have the stomach for this degree of deceit and demagoguery, be my guest!! … 🙄

With Donald Trump firmly out of office and having fun with(?) his retirement at Mar-a-Lago, the political tell-alls appear to be flocking to the shelves. The most recent insider’s account of Trump’s final days in office sheds some light on how his greatest allies — GOP senators Tom Cotton and Mitch McConnell — managed to help derail his last-ditch efforts to hold onto power.

According to journalist David M. Drucker’s new book, In Trump’s Shadow, Trump’s campaign to cast doubt on the 2020 Presidential Election failed thanks in larger part to 2 of his closest associates in Washington. Although the administration’s efforts to overturn election results in key states like Pennsylvania and Arizona fizzled in court, plenty of Republicans on Capitol Hill have been ready to fall in line behind their new conservative messiah, with members like Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Josh Hawley rallying their colleagues to overturn the Electoral College vote on Jan. 6th.

In his book, Drucker explains how rank-and-file members like Cruz and Hawley recruited a dozen or so senators to their cause, and the way both McConnell and Cotton, working quietly behind the scenes, ended up derailing their planned political revolt.

“In mid-December, after the states had certified their results and the Electoral College had voted, Cotton read in McConnell,” Drucker writes, saying the senator had done research into Trump’s claims for months before the vote. “Together, they plotted to countermand Trump’s bid to overturn the election and neutralize interest in objecting to Biden’s victory that was growing in some quarters of the Republican conference.”

Although McConnell was an outspoken opponent of Trump’s voter fraud claims once the Electoral College vote was completed, Cotton was ready to weigh in until after the run-off elections in Georgia. Drucker says the senator had planned to publish an op-ed after that crucial race, contradicting Trump’s claims. He held off because he was “fearful that Republican infighting may tank the party’s chances” in the South.

“Whilst he privately counseled colleagues to comply with the majority leader’s prompts and ignore Trump’s pleadings, he urged that all of them maintain their powder dry until January 6 to avoid an intra-party row which may blow up in their faces in Georgia.”

That wait-and-see approach blew up in his face after Sen. Hawley announced he would object to the certification vote only one week before it was scheduled to happen. Shortly after, Sen. Cruz announced he’d recruited 10 GOP members to vote no as well. That’s when Cotton was pressured to make public his break with Trump.

“With momentum building, Cotton reevaluated,” Drucker writes. “He hopped on the telephone with McConnell, and the 2 mulled strategic options for undercutting what they feared could be a “bandwagon effect” in favor of objecting. After some discussion, McConnell urged Cotton to speed up his timeline for asserting his opposition. The majority leader had been aggressively whipping the issue. However he believed that Cotton, along with his conservative bona fides and reputation as a Trump loyalist, may be more effective at talking teetering Senate Republicans off the ledge by offering cover to those that privately wished to stand behind the certification of Biden’s victory however feared the implications back home.”

He published his dissent on Jan. 3rd, just three days before the insurrection — an event that worked to change even more Republicans’ minds about refusing to certify the vote. However, according to insiders Drucker interviewed, it was McConnell and especially Cotton who ended up having the biggest influences on those on-the-fence Congress members.

“Two senior members of McConnell’s leadership team, Senatory John Thune and Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming, emphasized that the entire thing would have gotten completely out of hand if not for the stand taken by Cotton,” Drucker says. “‘Tom played a vital role, particularly as folks have been starting to waver,’ Thune told me on January 8, with the shock of what amounted to an attempted coup, albeit an amateur one, still fresh in the air. ‘He took a risk coming out Sunday rather than waiting quietly until Wednesday; he knew it wouldn’t be popular with the base.’”

Believe it or not, El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago will not be the titular head of the Republican Party forever. His ideas will live on after him like pesticides in the groundwater, but he himself will be gone. Which is why it's important to consider who and what comes after him, which is why we keep an eye on folks like Senator Tom Cotton, the bobble-throated slapdick from Arkansas. Cotton is a complete product of the wingnut welfare candidate manufacturing plant. He is so firmly convinced of his own inherent genius that he kicked off his first term in the Senate by undermining an elected president's primary foreign policy initiative. Watch this guy. His ambition is a breeder reactor in him.
