I look forward to reams of copy and endless coverage of this blow to unity.

Cotton tried to stop the peaceful transition of power too, didn't he?
The American grown, GOP approved, "Patriot" white republican kind of terrorists might be a little too close to him for comfort.

Imagine having to go through life being such a dour, constipated looking, unloveable, useless piece of shit like Tom Cotton. I swear he doesn’t have smile muscles in his face.

Maybe it might help remove the sludge from his cranium.

I'm hoping that these guys continuing to be complete asses about absolutely everything is not going unnoticed by the electorate, and finally demonstrating to same who it is who is really blocking any real progress in moving this country forward. Their assholishness has gone up by logarithmic magnitudes of insanity. Ef them with huge steel girders - inserted sideways. Orally and anally. They are anything but gracious in losing their majority. But they certainly expected their opposition to bend over and take it.

Its very hard to see how someone as lame as this scum is, can get elected to anything. Churches and rightwing towns dot his area. So its hard to get him out. But people here are growing tired of his type of bullshit, so maybe y'all could take him for a ride as gop "also ran". At least we could replace him then.
