How about number 5. We don't have a free press, we have a bought and paid for press.

Bovine excrement. Unless your talking about Breitbart or Fox

 

[monkrules]

I predict Jeff Frosty Flakes will be Romneyed by Donald Trump. He will be invited to dinner at Mar-a-Lago and made to eat frog legs and like it.

Gad, trump looks like the Devil he is, in that photo.

So it's true — one photo is worth 1000 words.

 

[Desperado]

Let's just say that Never Trumper Jeff has an appropriate last name.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Obama actively prosecuted reporters, hacked their computers, spied on em....perhaps killed one....dont remember libs being concerned....a little mocking and omg The Republic is in danger

 

[Rambunctious]

Jeff Flake is wondering right now why no one is talking about his speech today....or was it yesterday? Have any of you ever met a dumb unintelligent ball player? Their clothes say they are smart...their wealth says they are accomplished but when they open their mouth and speak you wonder where they went to school or if they ever did?

That's Jeff Flake!

You're talking about it. Aren't you?

Are you a ball player?....

You cant be trying to deny the obvious can you? Wait, you do that about a lot of things.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

There was a reason why Flake's speech was given in an almost empty room.

Flake's 20 most damning lines about Trump and the press - CNNPolitics

Senator Flake held nothing back in calling out Trump on his dangerous assault on democracy, his lies, and his short cummings as a leader. And he is not done. He will be a thorn in the side of delusional Don all year until he retires

The speech, which Flake had previewed over the weekend, was the first of what the Arizona Republican has promised will be a series of addresses over 2018 aimed at noting the abnormalities of the Trump presidency.

Here are some highlights:

1. "For without truth, and a principled fidelity to truth and to shared facts, Mr. President, our democracy will not last."
Flake, right from the start of the speech, is talking about BIG stuff -- like the future of democracy. And, he's right: Without an agreed-upon set of truths -- and a group of people trusted to fairly judge whether people adhere to those truths or not -- democracy starts to fall apart.

2. "2017 was a year which saw the truth -- objective, empirical, evidence-based truth -- more battered and abused than any other in the history of our country, at the hands of the most powerful figure in our government."
As of last week, President Trump had said more than 2,000 things that were either totally false or misleading, according to a count kept by the Washington Post. That's more than 5.5 factually inaccurate or incorrect statements a day. Every day.

5. "The president has it precisely backward -- despotism is the enemy of the people. The free press is the despot's enemy, which makes the free press the guardian of democracy."
This is a Republican senator -- albeit one who is retiring -- basically calling the Republican President of the United States a "despot." Stunning. Even in an age in which that word has lost almost all meaning.

12. "An American president who cannot take criticism -- who must constantly deflect and distort and distract -- who must find someone else to blame -- is charting a very dangerous path."
Trump's thin-skinnedness is somewhat remarkable given that he has spent almost his entire adult life in the public eye.

19. "In our own country, from the trivial to the truly dangerous, it is the range and regularity of the untruths we see that should be cause for profound alarm, and spur to action."
This is spot-on. What has amazed me in the first year of Trump's presidency is not his willingness to fib about big things but the little white lies he tells about stuff that's laughably easy to check -- and in so doing prove him wrong.

You even spell like you are gay. What's up with that?

Flake is just butthurt because he isn't running for reelection for the Senate and will try to take on Bernie Sanders for the Democrat nomination for President.

 

[AvgGuyIA]

Farty Flake can't get reelected in a republican State. That's pathetic.

That picture speaks volumes.

That was Lucy setting up for Charley Brown's punt.

The dumb shit's name: "Flake" - tells it all.

You are the one apparently obsessed with gay. (Did you notice that I did not say "your"?) Just look at the threads you create!

The prosecution rests.

 

[blackhawk]

As I understand it when the outgoing Flake gave his grand speech on the Senate floor a grand total of two Senators came to hear him Amy Klobuchar (D MINN) and Dick Durbin (D ILL). Seems very few give a rip about what he has to say.

Many of us knew Trump was a danger to the democracy before the election and that it would fall to Republicans in Congress to put up a wall to stop this Mussolini wannabe from trampling on or outright destroying many things the democracy has taken for granted for so long. But they haven't. They in fact are complicit with him in dismantling the Constitution.

HE has proven without question that Republicans have no country and do not hold the Constitution as the final word of the country. HE has no clothes and he has disrobed them as they stood clapping along his route down main street.

Classic public meltdown from a clown who thought he had a permanent job as a Senator and found himself unelectable because of his broken political compass. Lashing out and blaming SOMEONE ELSE for his failures.

It's was fun to watch. But I'll be glad when he doesn't have a podium on Capitol hill to demean himself like that.

 

[Jroc]

Flake isn't even his real name. That's just what they call him.

poor trump ijit

Trump isn't worried about some liberal senator who isn't even running for reelection.....Poor Jillian would be more appropriate

There was actually a third person in attendance. The guy vacuuming the carpet.
Flake is leaving b/c his poll numbers are in the single digits. He knows he couldn't get elected to clean the parking lot!

 

[Fang]

Maybe Flake is pissed because he's the only person in the US who's 401K didn't skyrocket under Trump. Whatever the case, I can promise Jeff Flake isn't the least bit interested in helping our country. Clearly he's butt hurt over something personal.

You're talking about it. Aren't you?

Are you a ball player?....

Hate to tell you this but some ball players are national road scholars!

 

[DrLove]

I appreciate Flake being one of the few willing to warn us that Trump is systematically undermining our democracy, and that his power needs to be checked by Congress.

But for the life of me, I can't recall a single vote against something Trump and the rest of the Dotards in the Senate wanted.
