After 40-plus years of the GOP assault on basic education and fact-based disciplines does he really expect us to be able to compete on the world stage in science? We're coasting largely on our laurels as it is. Another 4 years of deVos and Trump curb stomping our schools and we'll be lucky if future graduates will be able to spell their own name.

I guess it was okay when the mango menace tried to buy exclusive rights to the vaccine Germany is working on.

Maybe Tom Cotton should get his GOP moron buddies together and they can compose a letter to China which they can all sign much like they did with Iran.

The reason I like Tom Cotton is because he is so reliably dumbfuck. There are few things you can really count on anymore, but he certainly is one of them.

I think it's SO UNUSUAL that Hafez Assad had an enormous head and his son this current one has a teeny head. That's just not a thing that would completely change so quick, it seems. But it did.

First, they will need a Chinese version of Wonkette to be slacking off work with at work.

Why does Tom Cotton think the Chinese need to come here and study the Federalist Papers? I'm sure they know the Constitution as well as the Iranian Ayatollah, which means a fuck of a lot better than Tom Cotton.
