Craven Cotton Cowers when Confronted by Constituent Correspondence
Pricks Nix Voter Licks
The Arkansas resident should have used the words āsheet holeā or āsheet houseā - these phrases have by pre-approved by Senator Cotton.
You could randomly take 10 percent of anything Cottonās ever done and it would be enough to justify pushing him out of a helicopter into a volcano. That said, I donāt think itās proper and itās certainly not effective to cuss at legislative staff. If I were in charge of making policies about how to respond to it Iād have to do some thinking. Certainly the right to communicate with the government has free-speech protection hovering over it. But how do you separate the speech from the cusses? Itās like one of those law-school problems, the kind that would never stop rocking if you tapped them at one end.
The Arkansas Snowflake - as white and fluffy as Cottonā¦
If @tiowally can Go-Fund-Me the TrebutineĀ® (trebuchet/guillotine) Cotton would be a great test pilot. Long neck, easy to hit.
I send a fair amount of letters. Sometimes I get substantive replies (democrats), sometimes perfunctory replies (traditional republicans) but lately my tea bagger libertarian congressman seems to have blacklisted me.
Well, in fairness, Cottontail comes from a military background, where no one has ever sworn, so maybe seeing a cuss-word was truly a new experience for him?
Senator Cotton is always happy to hear from Arkansans and encourages everyone to contact his offices to express their thoughts, concerns, and opinions.
Except when he isn't.Such snowflakes!
Ixnay on the uillotines-gay until we win the evolution-ray.
How snowflacky of the Senator. Does anyone think Cotton, a prior military dude, refrains from using the word shit? Heād be incommunicado in the Army if he did. Perhaps someone should send the good Senator the results of a recent study on the use of profane language. It revealed a stronger link to truthfulness than the goody two shoes nice stuff.
"These letters are rare and only used under extreme circumstancesā
So a staff person being exposed to the term ābullshitā is an āextreme circumstanceā?
Maybe itās still 1958 rather than 2018 in Sen. Cottonās office: āwe donāt talk that way in front of women down heah!ā
All I have ever received is a form letter asking for money
Not to go off-topic in a thread about Tom Cottonās ongoing and unlikely-to-change dickishness, but The Atlantic has a great longish history of Paul Manafortās career that really helps show how and why this whole Trump mess happened. Quite a page-turner, with real-life international intrigue and all.
@mattinpa Hanging up on a constituent whose kid is directly impacted by the policy being discussed is inappropriate, too. There are simple ways to diffuse the situation. That Cottonās office thinks one of them is a cease and desist notice says volumes more than a common expletive.
Read that yesterday, what a fucking selfish prick traitor, hope he rots in prison for what he has done to democracy.
Or sheet cake:
I assume you did notice the part about the volcano and First Amendment and all. Iām honestly curious what could be done to strike a more proper balance. Everyone in the situation has a variety of rights. And Iāll say again itās counterproductive to give the staff a hard time. I understand the anger, but direct it to the appropriate target in the appropriate way. Itās simply more effective and more civil.
