Tom Cotton: Send In the Troops

Source: nyt

"One thing above all else will restore order to our streets: an overwhelming show of force to disperse, detain and ultimately deter lawbreakers. But local law enforcement in some cities desperately needs backup, while delusional politicians in other cities refuse to do what’s necessary to uphold the rule of law."

what is really needed is an overwhelming show of force to get MOrOOns (Bugs Bunny advocated using this spelling to designate anyone who should be classified as a "double moron&quot like Cotton out of the Senate and any administrative position... to Mr. Cotton and the rest of the Vichy-GOPhers:

-Matthew 13:13 : : : 13:13 Therefore I speak to them in parables: because they seeing : : : see not; and hearing they hear not,
neither do they understand : : :

...and shame on the the NYT & twitter for allowing a forum for such hate-filled/racist speech...

"Absurd": Amy Klobuchar Denounces Ted Cruz's Smear of Barack Obama

Source: mother jones

"But none of the lawmakers went nearly as deep into right-wing fantasyland as Ted Cruz (R-Texas). Cruz invoked President Donald Trump’s invented claim that President Barack Obama was personally involved in ginning up an investigative witch-hunt into Trump’s 2016 campaign. He then alleged that Obama, rather than Trump, was guilty of abuses worse than Watergate. “What the Obama-Biden administration did in 2016-2017 makes everything Richard Nixon even contemplated pale in comparison,” Cruz said.

Cruz was trying to reinforce Trump’s effort to construct an alternative reality in which the current president’s abuses—including his campaign’s effort to benefit from Russian election interference and his attempt to pressure Ukraine’s president to announce a baseless investigation of Joe Biden—are somehow less serious than the imagined transgressions of his predecessor.

(Klobuchar) railed against the hearing itself, portraying it as an “absurd” distraction from more important legislative priorities, including the coronavirus pandemic. Then she blasted Cruz’s remarks.

“We could also be doing so many other things on the pandemic, on the effect that the pandemic has had on immigration policy,” Klobuchnar said. “But we are here today. I thought that was absurd. But then I heard Senator Cruz. And I have to say, to compare Richard Nixon to Barack Obama, Richard Nixon, who left the White House in disgrace, to compare him with President Obama, who left the White House with grace and with dignity, something we’ve missed very much, especially this week, when we saw the President of the United States using the Bible as a prop in front of a church in Washington, DC, after the Justice Department tear-gassed peaceful protestors in order to set the stage for that press conference, no.”"

makes one wonder if Cruz really does have an "ugly" wife, whether his father may participated in the assassination of JFK, & whether the 2 functioning little grey cells in his brain have staged a recent murder-suicide....

Senate Republicans Set Summer Of Investigations Involving Biden

Source: npr

"Senate Republicans have launched politically loaded investigations into the Obama administration and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden that are expected to carry on into the fall...
On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee begins the first of a planned series of hearings on the origins of the FBI's 2016 Russia investigation into possible ties with the Trump campaign. Republicans are particularly interested in the decision-making inside the Obama-Biden administration."

as if the pandemic, murder of Floyd, resultant protests, & failure of WH leadership were not enough to bear, the Vichy-GOPhers still want to help T get reelected by staging further kangaroo court/committee meetings to smear Biden...
hoping this too spectacularly backfires on the M##her-F###ers... they still seem to have narry a clue as to the mood of the masses...
