Trump sent Vance there twice. He threatened to cut off all federal spending to the state. He vowed to back primary challengers of any Republican who voted against him here. He posted their names online, prompting his fans to send them death threats.
But all that failed, so now he wasn't involved.

Tom Cotton is babbling about how the boat survivors might have "stayed in the fight." There was no fight. These guys weren't armed. They were puttering along when they were struck by a missile. There was no American anywhere near them.

After unexplained bursitis in my right elbow followed by not being able to lift a bottle of orange juice without pain in my left elbow, I feared rheumatoid arthritis or some other disorder, but diagnosis is biceps tendinitis combined with classic tennis elbow.
A relief.
