    Another even more urgent crisis brought to you by the same zany crew who saved us from the voter fraud crisis.

      It’s urgent enough in NC for them to force an ultimatum on disabled workers who refused to sign crooked racketeering deals to either sign or have the state render any and all compensation/future medical treatment null and void.

    Is it stupidity that causes republicanism, or the other way around?

    • maggie November 9th, 2015 at 19:25

      why isn’t the nih funding research on that ….(what causes republicanism)…oops I pressed the italics button accidentally…don’t know which one it is…;)

      i really don’t like these people. seriously.

      • Suzanne McFly November 9th, 2015 at 19:29

        They are kind of like the dumb person you hang around with so you feel like a genius. I recommend hanging around one in a low moment, you don’t know how good you will feel about yourself afterwards. They are similar to cheap (free) drugs and there is no hangover.

          The way Tony Blair used Dubya to make himself look brilliant by comparison. I always thought Blair should have hired him to hang around with him after he retired. Whenever they appeared together, I knew if I had been with any Europeans I would have hung my head in shame.

          • Suzanne McFly November 9th, 2015 at 20:50

            I don’t recommend someone that stupid, some of your brain-cells may go over to his brain because they feel sorry for him. I have none to sacrifice.

        • whatthe46 November 9th, 2015 at 20:23

          good one Suzanne. lol but that kind of dumb hurts my brain.

          • Suzanne McFly November 9th, 2015 at 20:48

            Yeah, that is why I always carry ibuprofen. My Dad is a rwnj as is his dumb ass brother. Holidays can be a b!%(h in so many ways.

            • whatthe46 November 9th, 2015 at 21:47

              i’m so sorry.

              • Suzanne McFly November 9th, 2015 at 22:30

                If I ever wanted to be a comedian I would of had a lot to work with when writing jokes. I still joke about my crazy family, but I am not on a stage or getting paid :(

              • rg9rts November 10th, 2015 at 01:54

                go to bed

            • rg9rts November 10th, 2015 at 01:54

              Be like me…the black sheep and you can enjoy your holiday in peace

              • Suzanne McFly November 10th, 2015 at 12:15

                I take pride in being a black sheep, that just means I am unique :)

                • rg9rts November 10th, 2015 at 14:11

                  Means you don’t have to be there

                  • Suzanne McFly November 10th, 2015 at 15:15

                    No, I won’t miss time to spend with my family because of a couple stupid statements a couple of them may make. I won’t get into a conversation with them but I won’t miss the event.

                    • rg9rts November 10th, 2015 at 19:11

                      You mean Uncle George passing out into the mashed potatoes?

                    • Suzanne McFly November 10th, 2015 at 22:33

                      My family is a rainbow of nuttiness. I just sit there and watch, it’s like a free comedy show. I will never turn down a comedy show especially if its free.

        • fahvel November 10th, 2015 at 03:48

          I think I would feel very dirty – no thanks.

    • Suzanne McFly November 9th, 2015 at 19:26

      Chicken or the egg type of thing? lol

    • Gina Bousquet November 9th, 2015 at 19:46

      Stupidity has to be a precondition to be a Republican. Irrefutably… they have the monopoly.

  3. robert November 9th, 2015 at 19:22

    is it anything like alcohol addiction tom ?

    somehow our gov made it possible making one less lethal then the other

  4. Suzanne McFly November 9th, 2015 at 19:25

    Okay and in an alternate universe far, far away, the republicans are brilliant.

    • maggie November 9th, 2015 at 19:26

      in darth vader’s empire

    • The Original Just Me November 10th, 2015 at 00:17

      That would be in the Anti-matter universe correct ? Where everything is the exact opposite.

      • Suzanne McFly November 10th, 2015 at 12:13

        Of course, how could it be anything else?

        • The Original Just Me November 10th, 2015 at 12:47

          Not in our Universe anyway.

          • Suzanne McFly November 10th, 2015 at 12:58

            Oh hell no, here they are morons lol.

  5. allison1050 November 9th, 2015 at 19:45

    sigh again

  6. ExPFCWintergreen November 9th, 2015 at 20:18

    Tom Cotton’s obviously getting jealous of all the coverage of Republican presidential candidates’ Stoopid, so he thought he’d better bust out with some of his own before we all relegate him to a well-deserved spot on the dung-heap of history.

  7. wpadon November 9th, 2015 at 21:41

    If he feels this a problem in Arkansas, lets see how it works in his state before we try it in the rest of the country.

  8. Foundryman November 9th, 2015 at 22:35

    Well that explains why all these old folks at nursing homes and senior centers are always so wacked out and saying they need their meds.

  9. Warman1138 November 10th, 2015 at 00:28

    WTH! It’s Tom Cotton, dumbest man in Arkansas with the most stupid idea yet. I swear, it’s a freaking competition amongst Republican office holders on who can outrageously out-moron each other and offend the most people.

    • Hirightnow November 10th, 2015 at 06:44

      And they all seem to be winning that competition…

    • The Original Just Me November 10th, 2015 at 12:47

      I’ve know some people from Arkansas. He would have to be pretty Dumb to be the dumbest. Think about all of the Dumb people that voted for him. Let’s just say he is totally STUPID.

  10. granpa.usthai November 10th, 2015 at 01:49

    just another LYING THIEF trying to beat down those who are least capable of fighting back.

  11. rg9rts November 10th, 2015 at 01:52

    This man is in dire need of being recalled …

    • The Original Just Me November 10th, 2015 at 12:44

      I think he is being called lots of things right now.

  12. fahvel November 10th, 2015 at 03:46

    sometimes I wonder how, in a nation of opportunities, such fkn idiots without a shred of compassion or marality become elected officials – are his constituents as mad as he is or have they been deceived by just one more ignorant power seeking slob?

  13. bpollen November 10th, 2015 at 03:47

    Senator Q-Tip is an idiot. Heroin leads to heroin addiction.

    Tom hasn’t been taking his medicines again.

  15. mistlesuede November 10th, 2015 at 09:57

    So he actually thinks that disability benefits are so enormous that they can pay for large amounts of very expensive drugs? Perhaps he should do more research before making these pronouncements. This is a window into the wacked thinking of the right wing congress members who target disability benefits and want to end them. They just tried, and failed, to cut them by 20%.

    • The Original Just Me November 10th, 2015 at 12:43

      Why is it that all of the Young Politicians that have never done a days worth of physical work in their life are soooo Much against Disability ? If these worthless mouth blasters ever worked, they might learn what hard labor does to the body.
