23. No doubt, Tom Cotton is an idiot, and a callous, racist one to boot.

Among the most idiotic things he said was that those 2 guys who were clinging to the remains of a boat the military blew up were going to flip that boat over and continue on their way of delivering drugs to be sold in America.

That's pure DFSoB stuff. The boat may be small, but it still weighed several thousand pounds, and probably had a few small holes in it...big enough to swim through. Maybe Cotton head could flip that boat over, but no one else on the planet could. Not even a salvage crew could make that boat seaworthy again.
The 2 survivors couldn't possibly cause anyone harm, seeing that they were probably wounded, and alone in the ocean.
What we have been doing out there is a blatant violation of international law, and deliberately killing those men is murder.

But, it makes for good political theater; raw meat for the MAGA base.
