Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) called on President Trump to concede his election loss to President-elect Joe Biden, saying he should "quit misleading" the American people.

“It’s past time for the president to accept the results of the election, quit misleading the American people, and repudiate mob violence,” Cotton said in a statement Wednesday evening.

“And the senators and representatives who fanned the flames by encouraging the president and leading their supporters to believe that their objections could reverse the election results should withdraw those objections,” he continued.

The remarks from Cotton, a key Trump ally, came hours after a mob of Trump supporters forced their way into the Capitol building around 2 p.m., prompting lawmakers to evacuate and suspend their tally of the Electoral College votes certifying Biden's victory.

Don’t you love how everyone is a “Trump ally” in these Media articles?

They are fist bumping with Kamala and she had this to say about the Summer and Fall Riots:

All these traitors think now that they have justification for the steal. The steal is better than having President Trump is their rationalization.
Their speeches sure as hell are not making things any better. They just keep fueling the flames although they’ll never take any responsibility.

The GOP is in the process of self destructing. Stay out of their way.

I’m nearly 60 years old, following politics since I was a kid, and I am convinced 3rd party is the only way to go.... Reagan wanted to change the Republican party and he had no success.... They went right back to Swamp as soon as he left.... The GOP is just too entrenched with enemies..... A new party with a theme that appeals to a cross-section of voters from both parties needs to be formed at this dire time in the country’s history.... We need it spiritually as much as we need it politically

“Very soon after leaving office they will put him and his family in cuffs
For what? They can make life difficult for him, but i don’t think they could get a jury to convict him.”

A jury hand picked by Dem prosecutors in the District of Columbia would convict Trump of any charge put before him, no matter the evidence. The judge would immediately order him to jail while in the appeals process. So he then appeals to a federal court in DC. He draws leftist judges. They affirm the conviction. He is still in jail. He appeals to the Supreme Court. By the time his case gets to the Supremes Clarence Thomas may have retired or conveniently passed away (like Scalia). Biden/Harris will appoint a radical leftist to replace him. The Supremes refuse to hear the case or they take it an affirm the conviction. Trump spends the rest of his life in jail.

There is no doubt in my mind the state of New York, the DOJ, and the IRS will hound Donald Trump for the rest of his life. Not to mention every leftist social justice organization in American will flood the court system with frivolous civil lawsuits against him and his businesses which he will have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars defending. Unions will strike his hotels, corporations will forbid their employees from staying at his hotels, health departments will shut down his restaurants. The goal is to humiliate, bankrupt, and ruin him even if they don’t get him behind bars.

When the fix is in, it is in. Who is going to stop it? Not Pelosi, not Schumer, not McConnell, not McCarthy, not the media, not the Supreme Court. Republican Senators and Representatives are falling all over themselves tonight to repudiate him. There is no decency or compassion in Washington D.C.

If he does so, his orders won’t be followed.

To: alternatives?

maybe it will backfire and the coming mess of next few years of some one else (won’t be biden) pretending to be president will make people wish for Trump - but doubt anyone will ovecome the dominion voter fraud obsticle unless states truly clean up their mess, which most likely will just continue sinc eit helps dems win.

Tom was a fighter but has let notoriety cloud his judgement for greater things. Now he is a product of the swamp.

Have you been thinking about what you’ll do after politics, Tom ?

If not, you should.
