U.S. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) presents himself as a patriot; however, he his also a tenuously positioned politician who attended the 2016 Sea Island summit to stop Trump. As an outcome, all Cotton positions, regardless of current issue-specific merit, should be reviewed carefully for self-serving benefit.
In this interview Senator Cotton discusses how China has recently targeted specific individuals within the former Trump administration for sanctions. Cotton walks through a few examples of how the financial and economic targeting has real life consequences.
I think I accidentally flagged a comment on this thread.
Please ignore any flags from me, as it/they were unintentional .
Scrolling on a small iPhone can cause the flat to be triggered.
Sorry ?
Flag, not flat
Yes same problem ?♀️
You can edit now. That’s a nice new feature.
Sorry, I find it just another example of American hypocrisy. We have been sanctioning people/regimes right and left for yrs. We praised Trump for using our economic muscle instead of military.
Looks to me like China has, as typical, stolen another American idea. They have the power of a 1.5 billion person market and have figured out how to use it.
Still preferable to a shooting war
Breitbart is missing you.
Hypocrisy is hypocrisy. We have been enforcing regime changes for decades. It’s wrong. They did it to us Nov 2020!! Ripped PDJT right out of office and now they’re trying to prevent him from ever returning.
You would know this better than I
I think we got a taste of those nasty regime changes in our Nov 2020 election. They literally unseated a legitimate president. We were doing that and still are to Venezuela. As if it’s our business who they have in power. But it sure came back to bite us! We have our very own Juan Guaidó (Joe Biden). They also did this in Ukraine and are trying it in Syria and in a few more other countries. It’s just WRONG as we now see they did it to us!
When I compare Tom Cotton with Been Sassy and Marco Rubio I have to admit if I had to choose one to remain in the Senate it would be Tom.
But – I don’t want him anywhere near a Presidential run.
I could see Cotton & Haley as a listing ticket if it ever happened.
It would never win. That’s for sure.
hold your nose and vote…the deep state wants you to show your support of the SHOW election
Two face Cotton and Mitt with a skirt? I will pass.
*listing should have been losing.
Oops.
We’re going to be faced with a brutal decision in 2024 (assuming America is intact and operating by then.) You can’t just snap your fingers and call up another Donald Trump. So we’re going to have to choose from among a nauseating field of candidates, most of whom will have some deviations from orthodoxy. We’re still going to have to pick the least worst.
Then again, they control the vote counting, and they will get another 5-10 million eligible voters registered via the Biden Amnesty (which Lindsey will probably co-sponsor.) That group will go 2-1 for the Democrats, maybe 3-1. More importantly, those numbers will be concentrated in Florida and Texas, also NC and GA. Buh-bye GOP.
Whisky Sam, not me. I am through giving these traitors my vote. After all, with the Uniparty, what difference does it make.
No brutal decision…DJT himself….over
We need to play like they do. Prep the battlefield through litigation, new voter registration and GOTV, ballot harvesting and aggressive observers, local elections officials and legislatures must take their powers back without need of special session. We need to stand up an aggressive election war for room before, during and after. This was all missing from GOP this time. What did Ronna do with all our money? Audit!
Not me. I’m never voting again until the election rigging is fixed AND they restore President Trump’s win.
I’m voting for Jesus Christ as King. Not on a ballot (they will just switch it to their puppet). Just in prayer will my vote be from now on until both of the above are fixed. I will NOT participate in FRAUD, it makes you complicit.
Walmart owns Cotton.
Maybe someone will ask cottontail to address the Sea Island issue….Naw, just kidding…never happen
Tom is the ultra right wing of the Democrat party; Rubio Sasssy are just center right wingers of the Democrat party.
That slow talking “stolen valor” Harvard decepticon turned on Trump and refused to challenge all of us being turned into vote-less slaves.
Coward or bribed traitor.
Total McCain / Lindsay Scam RINO
This is no doubt an interesting interview, for anyone still willing to be led around in their thinking by the self-serving politicians and equally self-serving media. Nevertheless, it’s like looking in a funhouse mirror, with all of the distortions and misdirections both interviewer and interviewee expound, on every subject they covered.
The China news can be covered in one short sentence: Don’t buy “Made in China”. Period.
The National Guard being semi-permanently stationed in Washington: The election was a fraud, and this is what you should expect from the criminals that defrauded the nation and the world. It is not “behind us”, Mr. Cotton; the criminals (almost everybody in politics and the media) must always look for punishment coming upon them unawares.
The “covid pandemic” is more fraud, and the NEAR UNIVERSAL mask-wearing, by people under 80 years of age, merely shows they are all third-world level of intelligence and self-responsibility.
I’ve already given this interview too much notice and too much of a response. The United States of America is a fun-house, degenerate version of the self-sufficient nation originally founded, and still extant up until Obama initiated the Insane Left Democrat Mob in 2008. All members and supporters of the Democrat narrative are sordid and deluded (insane) criminals. No one of them can afford to sleep, or work, easily.
Well said, my sentiments exactly
Surely everybody knows that most of the stuff made in BB&B is made in China. The alternative is Home Goods but I’m not keen on them either, though they do have goods that come from everywhere in the world – bed linen & bath from Portugal, India, Bahrain, Pakistan etc. Look to USA Lovelist for USA made goods, if you are looking for crockery – try Replacements, (specify Made in the USA), flatware etc from Liberty Tabletop & look for glassware, etc in Antique stores – that’s my favorite place for looking for USA made goods.
Try Red Land Cotton for linens, towels, and lounge wear. All cotton used is grown in Alabama, processed and spun in VA, GA, and SC.
Expensive? Heck yeah, but these items do not wear out!
This is such a well timed comment. We need new towels and don’t want more crappy made in china stuff that smells no matter what after a few uses.
Ordering towels from them now!
I wish we had a list or thread for companies like this!
Been doing my best to buy Other Than China (OTC) for about 8 years now. All we can do is try our best. Just one example: I buy all my luggage, shooting bags, gym bags etc. from Frost River Waxed Canvas Company. All US made, with all US sourced material. Incredible products; not cheap, but cheaper than Filson. You can find many things not made in China. Yes, a bit more, but I am willing to pay more.
I don’t do Twitter, but, I did totally delete FB early last year. I don’t know about you, but, it seemed they didn’t want people to delete their accounts, what with quite a few steps to to go thru. I was relieved to finally get to the end of the process.
I got a question that should be asked of every GOPe senator..Why no recess appointments for TRUMP?
Cotton is a POS that has never yet answered any questions I’ve sent him but once and that was a form letter email. He turned on the President and I will never ever vote for another Republican especially liars and traitors like him.
Agreed.
Yes. Harvard slow talking slow witted coward revealed to be a full on traitor and stolen valor fibber to boot.
He turned on Trump and us. I am done with him.
Breitdrudge is trying to help him as they do all traitors.
Got the same treatment. I don’t think he can rehab himself after he stabbed President Trump in the back. I certainly hope not
he is aware of the treehouse and is not a fan.
can someone link the requirements for the senate to recess? ive heard it explained but its been awhile.
only one senator has to make a motion to recess?
Cotton showed his true colors when he didn’t stand 100% behind President Trump so no matter what he says from now on I consider it self-serving and nothing else.
Cruz is the same in my book. He couldn’t even wait to see what happened or who was responsible before he agreed in an interview that it was President Trump’s rhetoric that cause the capital invasion.
Unsure when his seat is up. However, Rubio is up in 2022 and THAT is a BIG seat. Rubio has a big fight. In NC, worthless Burr ( who was just allowed to weasel out of insider trading) is supposedly retiring. Much scrambling going on in NC and the NCGOP (GOPe, RINOs, never-Trumpers) think they are placing “THE” candidate forward. NC having none of this. Grassroots, MAGA, Patriots, Conservatives ain’t having no more Burr’s, worthless, weak Dem-Lite Republicans. BE STRONG IN 2022 Patriots. BE STRONG with these 2022 Senate seats. Incumbents need to be rid from the capitol hill club; not ONE needs to stay. FIND ONE candidate in your state and support HIM/HER. Don’t (like NC) allow multiple candidates in the primary that diminishes our votes.
Multiple candidates in NC allowed Tillis and Burr; both never-Trumpers.
jwmson, many times that is on purpose to ensure the incumbent wins. People have to back ONE challenger.
It is a lesson that the republican senate needs to be taught. I think Mitch should lead a minority of about 30 after the 2022 election. The one-third of the senate up for reelection in 2024 would get the message. I will only vote in the primary if there is a challenge to the incumbent.
I heard Cooper wants to run on the Dem side to replace Burr. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could get a good MAGA candidate and defeat Cooper and get a good Senator in office. Not sure if Cooper has to resign the Governorship. If he does resign, Mark Walker would be our governor. Yoohoo!
Went onto the NC DMV and removed myself from the Republican voter rolls, took 5 minutes.
SEND A MESSAGE
Same with Rand Paul. Notice how all Republicans are talking a big game now that nothing can be done.
Yes. Yes we have.
I called Sen. Paul’s office and email him multiple times. After his betrayal of WE The CITIZENS I’ve unsubscribed from his email list and walked away completely from the GOP. Same with our KY GOP legislature.
Exactly! They waited until “gosh we just can’t do anything about it.”
Believe me, if it were the dems that had been cheated they would get their candidate restored. Our side are feckless whores of washington open to the highest bidder.
THEY LAUGH AT US.
Those that keep returning to the pile of garbage they set before us.
I’m out.
Unless they restore President Trump I don’t believe them.
“reviewed carefully for self-serving benefit.” According to HuffPo, ‘The main topic at the closed-to-the-press confab? How to stop Republican front-runner Donald Trump. (The meeting was not planned to be a strategy session on how to stop the GOP front-runner, but rather evolved into one, as a subsequently obtained agenda makes clear.)’
“should be reviewed carefully for self-serving benefit.” Goes w/o saying to all of them.
The Washington Times:
Romney suggests ‘new faces’ of post-Trump GOP: Christie, Cotton, Rubio, Sasse, Hogan, Baker
Now that you’ve seen that headline, spray yourself with bleach.
That is all.
New faces? Christie has been popping up on any news show that will have him for over a decade. Rubio is on Sunday shows all the time and ran for president. Cotton knocks over schumer in his rush to the camera and did you know he’s a veteran.
Hogan is an old, fat, cancer patient who supports abortion, gun confiscation, and hated President Trump, Hogan also can’t even win his home state (MD) in a presidential election. Sasse is virulently anti-Trump and anti-America, a former college professor and the guy who sent high school interns to convicted pedophile Denny Hastert when he was speaker.
Baker may be new because no one knows who the hell that is.
BAKER IS EVIL!! TDS to the max! No – not just no but HELL NO!!!
Lulu, thanks for the rundown. I looked up Baker & Hogan because I had never heard of them. Both are state senators, PN. and MD respectively.
If I had political aspirations, I surely wouldn’t want to be on Romney’s list. It’s for losers.
Akindole, I laugh at the Romney’s list. It’s a loser list.
I hate politics even our brand so vulnerable to corruption. Self serving politicians that’s for sure but then the vast majority of Americans are self serving, self centered. We have sat by and watched this evil ideology gobble up country after country enslaving entire populations while we did nothing. Now our house is on fire and burning to ground. We are a notable people for talking and lecturing others. Now survival is my focus as I prepare for certain devastation the likes never seen before. Tribulation always precedes deliverance, MAGA is already screaming for deliverance while so far we only experience some disruption from our comfortable way of life.
Instapundit has joined the trend of shutting down the comment section. The left is trying to scare everyne with their unholy alliance with Big Tech.
Hopefully they are busy, busy, busy working on building new platforms.
I see a lot of Treepers here decrying Senator Cotton’s flaccid response to the stolen election.
In fairness, it is difficult to oppose Party leadership. Before the 17th Amendment was ratified, the several states jealously guarded their political prerogatives.
Each state had equal weight legislative action required careful consideration and numerous compromises. This inhibited political radicalization.
Now, the position of Senate majority leader is the One Ring to Rule Them All. A demagogue like Schumer can destroy your political career if you oppose him.
This reduces the Senate to an “insider trading” entity, comparable to a mafioso operation. When Schumer threatened the USSC with with violent opposition—You will reap the whirlwind—it effectively neutered their usefulness as a dispute mediator.
Thus, they distanced themselves from the question of fraud during this election cycle.
To paraphrase Bobby Knight, “When your humiliation is unavoidable, relax and enjoy it.”
There can be no effective opposition to the steal at the Federal level. Opposition must be undertaken by the several states, who lost control of the Senate when the Seventh Amendment was ratified.
Oh, it’s “difficult to oppose Party leadership”? REALLY?
Then we should by all means give him a “pass”………../s
I mean, they couldn’t have jelously guarded it too much since those same state governments were the ones who ratified the 17th….
Tom, is that you?
What a bunch of hagswollop. Stop with the justifications, and just slink back to the trough.
Lol
Christian, I will never forget Cotton’s virulent accusations against Trump for inciting the riot at the Capitol. He was one of the first republicans to blame Trump and his language was so harsh I was shocked. I will never forget it.
He has been all over t.v. espousing the policies that President Trump implemented especially on China. Is he really that stupid to go against the man that was doing everything he espouses? Cotton wants to run for President and thinks we are stupid. I have No Use for him.
Follow the Money. “Both’ wings of the Uniparty are largely funded by CoC, CCP, Davos, Wall Street and Cartels (ie the Kelptocrats). So is it such a surprise that when the vote comes down to “We the People” and Main Street vs the corrupt interests above, we almost always get the shaft?
What is more important than a true 2nd party is developing funding sources that are founded upon the interests of We the People and Main Street. Then regardless of how our Representatives get in (true 2nd Party and/or GOP primary) they are under the control of We the People and Main Street and not those that fund the uniparty.
One cannot serve two masters.
I saw Maria’s interview with Cotton. Everything Cotton so vigorously espouses with regard to China policy were the policies President Trump put in place. That being the case, why didn’t Cotton support President Trump?
I think we all know the answer, and I will never forget Cotton’s outraged tirade against Trump for inciting the riot. Cotton is doing the rounds trying to refurbish his image. Please don’t listen to him criticizing XIden’s policies. He as much as anyone is responsible for them. He has some nerve, please don’t forget.
The demonrat communist uniparty is in charge those that do not submit will be attacked.
I called and emailed McConnell’s office and voiced my extreme displeasure in him and the entire GOP leadership.
Hopefully I am one of millions who do the same.
Our Senate is still a Country Club of 100 worthless elite SOBs. The good ones still cover and support the bad. Sen Paul for example supporting Old Mitch back in Kentucky. As far as I know they still have their secret slush fund to pay off sexual harassment/assault victims they employ in the Senate. They try to diddle members of the staff….we as taxpayers pay off the claims. The House was busted over this years back, but the Senate kept mum over it. Sen McConnell describes it as a saucer to cool off the hot cup of coffee. I look at it like a toilet bowl.
I couldn’t even watch him. What a jerk. He refused to do anything about the election fraud. Now he thinks he can run for President because he is so tough on China, like Rubio. Rubio is still blaming President Trump for the capital. They both need to be primaried.
If he cared about China, he wouldn’t have gone along with them fixing the election against President Trump. Then he may have had a chance to be President.
Comments on least of worst POTUS, etc for 2024….that is if there is an election worth doing. 2022 will be definitive. And a good test to the staying power of “no more” from GOP voters. The country will probably be toast by 2022 anyway so it probably won’t matter anyway. But will be interesting if Republican voters just ignore it.
Is contton a subject of Monarch programming?
It is 2021 and the Primary season for 2022 elections are about to start. There are 20 Republican Senators on the list, search on term = “Class III Senators” to get the names. So far, every Senator who has appeared here on CTH or Media as virtue signaling, complaining, talking election fraud or deciding not run is ON that list.
Worried there Tom? You just now waking up to this crap?
Maybe you shoulda helped the one guy in DC who actually gave a shit about CCP Chinese influence and skullduggery.
Caring now reeks of desperation, complete with the congressional version of a selfie. Don’t go away mad, just go away.
At least the Lincoln project stabs Trump in the front. You phonies have no balls and little honor. Mushroom food.
Yeah, well Rand has 1 million more twitter followers than this clown. George was in Bill Clinton’s “War Room.”
Is Karl Rove or Steve Bannon going to get a network t.v. show? When Bannon does on Trump t.v. I am going to call him our unbiased equivalent to boring midget caught with the booster seat. George Snuffalufogus, except Bannon will get ratings.
He will never be “Tom Cotton”. To me he is always captain Sobel.
I have had a great time watching Tom cotton dance as fast as he can while getting destroyed on all his posts on all social media. He Is Finished. No presidency for him lol and thank You LORD for letting us all see the real Tom cotton.
