'That dog won't hunt!' Republican smacked down on Senate floor for accusing Dems of being soft on Russia

Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton was forcefully rebuked on the Senate floor on Thursday after accusing President Joe Biden and Democrats of being soft on Russia and President Vladimir Putin.

"The simplest way to deter invasion of Ukraine, the simplest way to deter Russian aggression, is to draw clear red lines of enforcement, something that Joe Biden will not do, something that apparently the Democratic senators will not force him to do," Cotton claimed.

New Hampshire Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen didn't waste any time shooting down Cotton's allegation.

That should slow them down, just digging out from under his avalanche of lies and self-promotion.

that Trump would run off to extradition free Russia. However I have changed my mind about that possibility. I believed that Putin would welcome Donald, fete him , medal him and make him a national hero. Only to have him eliminated within a year. Donald is too loud, too demanding of attention and would attempt to take the spotlight, thus no longer welcome or a PR asset. And as an ex POTUS the ex makes him of no use to Putin.

So, Donald has nowhere to go...
