(2,219 posts)Otherwise I'll take your comment for what it's worth, like many other uninformed and preposterous claims you've made about Cuba.
BannonsLiver
(16,439 posts)Im not sure what that is supposed to mean, but are you saying they have been kidnapped and machined gun and buried in mass graves like Castro did in the utopia of Cuba? I dont think that happened.
It did happen in Cuba though. Heres the noted western imperialist organization Human Rights Watch outlining it all.

(2,219 posts)As per usual, your over the top fabulation like "western imperialist organization" is useless.
But, thanks for the link.

And then all protests will stop.

(23,271 posts)If we're inconvenienced by demonstrators, could we just throw Tom Cotton into the river and scare the demonstrators?

(50,562 posts)Too much "taking matters into your own hands" will cause the protesters to start taking matters into THEIR own hands...which will, eventually, start the civil war the GOP seems to dream of.

(21,618 posts)If you kill someone and say Tom Cotton told you to, he will suffer NO repercussions. You will bear the full repercussions of that killing yourself.

(3,728 posts)someone will take it literally, severely injure or perhaps kill someone, go to prison for their crime, and Cotton will suffer no repercussion.
A la trump and Jan 6.
