Sitting Senator publicly incites others to engage in politicized murder of civilians.

Senator Tom Cotton has a zest for the murder of U.S. citizens—see his op-ed calling for summary execution of protesters against police brutality—and he is a leader within our nation's fascist party, so this should perhaps not be such a surprise, but it should always be a shock.

Dude sure misses his Iraq deployment.

Imagine the physical pleasure he experienced when he heard that the Nazis who invaded Charlottesville had murdered Heather Heyer.

Not sure if he has always been like this, or he is like one of those WW1 soldiers that after the trenches could not function in a normal society.

I would guess that he was like this from birth, but for the fact that he looks like he was not so much born but extruded.

Very similar in more than one bad way to the leader of Nazi Germany, you say?

My deeply-held belief about Cotton, and only Cotton, is that he signed up for military service solely and entirely for the purpose of filling his political resume. His first foray onto the national stage was via NYT letters while serving. It is *all* about his ambition.
Avatar
only Cotton? It’s pretty common, like Buttigieg or some of the royals- maybe glad to be providing aid to a country but not in some sense which might obviate their personal importance to said country
Avatar
This seems correct, from my limited knowledge. He went to Ranger school, but never actually deployed as a ranger, for example.

Don’t insult the shell shock victims by comparing them to this pustule

tbh there is a strong argument to be made that normal society wasn’t really a thing and that if we had decided to be normal maybe we wouldn’t have had the war or the Flu
Avatar
Yeah, "normal" is rather to generic. In this case it's more like "society where nobody is trying to actively kill you every day with machine guns, shells, or gas".

I think it probably moved a little bit.

He cut that way short so that he could get to the Old Guard in DC. He only needed a few months in Iraq so that he could put it on his resume. He wants the little people to do his killing for him.

To be clear, Senator Cotton is an enthusiast of violence happening somewhere other than his immediate vicinity, as we saw demonstrated on 6 Jan 2021.

If execution is the ticket for folks messing with the po-po there’s a bunch of protesters in jail right now that needs to be taken care of. Search term: January 6.

When this POS’s weird sex stuff finally comes to light, it will be Greitens-level horrifying

Guys like Cotton and Hawley must have their own equivalent of Stormy Daniels (not necessarily a woman) willing to spill the dirt, right?

That’s what the poured concrete floors in the shed are for

Oh wow you just made me realize that I didn’t know Josh Hawley and Tom Cotton were different people
Avatar
Cotton should be expelled, but censured at the very least.
Avatar
Now imagine if someone said HE should be vehicularly manslaughtered
Avatar
Is it still manslaughter if you point the vehicle at someone and accelerate and it isn't even a Tesla with a broken spatula pedal?
Avatar
Depends who you and the judge are
Avatar
It's not man slaughter because Tom Cotton is subhuman.

Just remember kids - the FIRST motherfuckers to defend the free speech rights of nazis, are Tom Cotton types. They simultaneously want to kill Americans for exercising those same rights for a cause they disagree with. Which can only infer that they don't disagree with nazis.

That man’s been a Nazi for a long time

I encourage people whose safety and civil rights may be eroded by a fat orange narcissist to take matters into their own hands. WWTRAFD? (What would the Red Army Faction do?)
Avatar
And yet if we said the same about him we'd get a visit from the FBI Makes you wonder why nobody just bells the fucking cat
Avatar
Avatar
I protest his continued existence on the planet, I wonder what he would tell the mob to do to me
Avatar
Avatar
Yeah, this was weird. I have a few things to say about that bastard Cotton, having also been deployed to Iraq but having not come back a raging asshole.
Avatar
Bold strategy, Cotton. What a jerk.
Avatar
“If someone is inconveniencing you, you should kill them.” Bucko, I have to go to the DMV later this month, and I do not need that intrusive thought rattling around in my head.
Avatar
That was the cleaned up version, too. The original omits the "to get them out of the way part". Not much better now, but he's clearly try to provide himself with some cover, as transparent as it is.

Why the surprise here? GOPers have been peddling legislation attempting to legalize the mowing down of protesters.

where did i express surprise

General statement not a pointed one.

I’m not finding any independent evidence he said this.

Thanks. Good lord. I don't see why these headlines aren't "US Senator Makes Thinly Veiled Call to Murder Protesters"

Because everyone ran interference for him the last time he did it, this is the second time he’s called for people in my city to be killed. Everyone was more interested in talking about whether it’s his 1A right to do so, rather than any concern about what might happen to us who live in Seattle.
