It’s long been a truism in American politics that anyone who gets close to Donald Trump gets slimed. This week, we’re discussing Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton, the grown-up version of the “you’re disrespecting a future U.S. Army soldier” kid, who has decided that it’s not a big deal for Trump to make fun of US injuries in Iraq because--as you know--nothing matters except defending Dad. Don’t get us wrong, we don’t want this to be a right-wing cause celebre, but we really hate Tom. We also discuss bread-thief rat-face Pete Buttigieg’s recent comments on the topic of a President benefiting from military service, which fine, okay, but come on. This week’s bonus is a video from Francis on the topic of what propaganda actually is.
