Things did not go well today for Neocons “Tehran” Tom Cotton and Marco “Big Gulp Rubio.

I told you earlier that Sens. Cotton and Rubio sandbag GOP leaders with poison pill amendments to Iran bill. Senate Majority Leader Mitch “McConnell’s only way of avoiding the controversial amendment would be to file a motion to end debate on the Iran Nuclear Review Act, which would block Republicans from offering any amendments to the bill.”

I posted that the Septuagenarian Ninja Turtle, Mitch McConnell, needs to take out his ninja sword and slay this out-of-control monster to make an example of him. And that is what he did. Senate overwhelmingly approves Iran review bill in 98-1 vote:

Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) filed a motion to end debate after Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Cotton tried to force a vote on an amendment requiring Iran to recognize Israel’s right to exist as part of a final deal.

The move was a reversal of the open amendment process Republican leadership pledged to bring to the Senate.

Sen. Ted “Calgary” Cruz (R-TX) may no longer be the most hated man in the U.S. Senate after today. Freshman Neocon war monger “Tehran” Tom Cotton (R-AR) may have moved up to the number one spot with a bullet after sandbagging the Septuagenarian Ninja Turtle, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn) on a carefully crafted Iran compromise bill.

The GOP has created a monster that it cannot control.

You remember “Tehran” Tom Cotton. GOP Senators’ attempt to sabotage U.S. foreign policy is unprecedented:

“Bloody Bill” Kristol’s latest protégé, Sen. “Tehran” Tom Cotton (R-AR), Israel lobby’s fingerprints are all over Republican letter to Iran, really screwed the pooch this week with his open letter to Iran. Iran Letter Is Perfect Neoconservative Fiasco – NYMagazine.

The open letter signed by 47 Republican, which included factual errors, may have violated federal law and is arguably unconstitutional.

Editorial page opinions universally condemned the 47 GOP senators. The top 10 trending Twitter topics in the United States early in the week listed “#47traitors” at the top. The senators who signed Cotton’s letter were called “TRAITORS” on the front page of the New York Daily News.

“Tehran” Tom Cotton and Marco “Big Gulp” Rubio sandbag McConnell, jeopardizing Iran bill:

Two junior conservatives blindsided Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) Thursday by attempting to force a vote on an amendment that could derail the bipartisan Iran nuclear review bill.

Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who is running for president, surprised McConnell by leapfrogging ahead of colleagues waiting for chances to get votes on their amendments.

They used a procedural maneuver to force McConnell to schedule a vote on an amendment requiring Iran to recognize Israel’s right to exist as part of any nuclear deal.

McConnell’s only way of avoiding the controversial amendment would be to file a motion to end debate on the Iran Nuclear Review Act, which would block Republicans from offering any amendments to the bill.
