President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

He had a significant say in when it started. He proposed the Senate give Trump's legal team two weeks to prepare once the Senate receives the article. They get the articles on Monday, Jan. 25.

From the Salon story

Rather, Cotton attended the Ranger School, a two-month-long, small-unit tactical infantry course that literally anyone in the military is eligible attend. Soldiers who complete the course earn the right to wear the Ranger tab — a small arch that reads "Ranger" — but in the eyes of the military, that does not make them an actual Army Ranger.

In my book, Cotton fibbed in roughly the same way Olbermann did when he said he went to Cornell.

 

Unless one actually IS or WAS an Army Ranger (it's a sore subject there), there is no reason to give a shit about Cotton's former Army status.
