Sen. Cotton is talking about this:
http://nbcwashington.com...rboarding-and-Loses.html
The headline is "Mancow Waterboarded, Admit's It's Torture."
So he is either completely missing the point of the historical event, or else deliberately misleading people.

maybe you could put the stuff on the right side on a separate page?
all that extra material doesn't do us any good if it uses so much memory that my browser freezes up

"That odious campaign"
This is poor language of Trump, like myself, I find myself lacking descriptive words, and I say things that are then taken way out of context. The only thing thats going on here is the restoration of the Rule of Law.
Guns in schools why you ask? I will tell you why because right now if someone goes into a school with a firearm, and I am disarmed, I consider myself DEAD Right then and there.
I might as well RUSH the person, if I stand around I will be dead, if I rush I will be dead, but at least I have a chance of stopping it. Now with a gun in the school, there's no waiting to stop it.
Much of disappearing campaign promises are because a potus doesn't have such powers granted to him in the first place, but nobody in media ever BOTHERED to question it. What legal authority have you for X, Y, Z in your mandate mr trump. such questions were not asked, you know very well what played on your screens following it all. A big media disconnect with no real content, just perception management. Also these are corrupt deep state based deceptions.
There is a TIMING thing going on here. My "spidey
senses" are saying, it's so that OBAMA can't pardon criminals. But then we are talking intuition here you could call it tin.

You said that the DNC didn't try to tip the scales to favor HRC against Bernie? Brad, you have blinders on. Don't blame people ranting on the DNC. I think it is time for another party. And do you think with a Republican majority, the American people can try to do election reform? Just kidding.

RE: Electoral College
"While there is evidence that the founders assumed the electors would be independent actors, weighing the merits of competing presidential candidates, they have been regarded as agents of the public will since the first decade under the Constitution. They are expected to vote for the presidential and vice presidential candidates of the party that nominated them. Notwithstanding this expectation, individual electors have sometimes not honored their commitment, voting for a different candidate or candidates than the ones to whom they were pledged; they are known as “faithless” or “unfaithful” electors. In fact, the balance of opinion by constitutional scholars is that, once electors have been chosen, they remain constitutionally free agents, able to vote for any candidate who meets the requirements for President and Vice President. Faithless electors have, however, been few in number (in the 20 century, one each in 1948, 1956, 1960, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1988, and 2000), and have never influenced the outcome of a presidential election.
(Electoral College History).
Trump is not qualified because of his advocacy for unconstitutional behavior (torture, racism, etc).

Even Democrats can be dead brains. I was a Bernie supporter from day one; but I knew the GOP is too corrupt to take over our government. The GOP is more scary than Trump.

When the hell did I say that?! Pretty sure you either misheard me (or, I suppose, it's possible that I mispoke, but I don't recall having done so.) I wouldn't have said it, because they definitely did try to tip the scales in favor of HRC --- as I've reported many times, going back to very early in the primaries.
Don't blame people ranting on the DNC.
I don't "blame people" for that at all.

Columbus, We're getting the whole package, the deluxe edition. The GOP will take over in January. They will have all three branches of government and the corporate media as their stenographers.
Trump, someone who can't even run a business without cheating people, has no clue about being a politician, let alone president of the United State. Who do you think he's going to put in his cabinet? Who will be his advisers? Who do think he's going to nominate for the Supreme Court? And don't forget Mike Pence, Trump's vice president, who wants to turn our country into a real life version of The Handmaid's Tale.
The most we can hope for now is a huge midterm backlash in the house--a serious uphill battle. If you're not already an active member of Brand New Congress and/or Our Revolution I urge you to pitch in and help make a change.

NEMO--COMMENT NO. 1
Senator Cotton and some of his colleagues make me shake my head and ask, "What Constitution are they upholding?" For they mock the oath and engage in flagrant falsehood. His letter regarding the Iran Nuclear Agreement was a perfect example.
