Well, cities are going to need a sea wall sooner or later anyway when the ice caps finish melting. But we can’t explain we’re getting ready for global warming… say it’s to keep African immigrants out and Congress will allocate $3 trillion, tomorrow.
Flake still has two years left on his term.
To my mind, peace with honor is fighting the fight, even if you might lose it. Concede once you’ve lost, not before the battle has even started. Heck, at this point, the battle is a gleam in someone’s eye.
Unfortunately, what he is effectively saying is he can’t win. If he’s right, that’s a scary message. I know it’s Arizona, but I still don’t like the message.
I hope that this is the “at long last” speach that awakens some people. As things are, I am not betting on that.
Not bloody likely. Republican politicians are going to hunker down like hostage victims, hoping that they will avoid the attention of Bannon, while at the same time hoping, praying that the money spigots will continue to flow for a little while longer.
The Trump base have no idea that this speech even happened. It is not being reported by any media they consume. At all. Nor will it be.
All they know is that Hillary made the Russians do stuff, the FBI is in on the conspiracy, and Trump is always right.
Not 100% sure where to put this, but this is as good a place as any:
Melania gets backlash for telling kids not to copy someone else.
Nitpick: 14 months. His term is up in January 2019.
Pretty much sums up his legislative philosophy. So far all he’s done is run through a list of every action Obama took, and taken any measure within the scope of his power (and a few arguably, beyond it) to wipe those actions away. Whether or not the people affected want it wiped away, or even if it’s completely irrelevant as above.
When you peel back the superficial layers of the Trump onion, you find it’s superficial all the way down. He’s just never going to let go of his hurt feels from Obama mocking him at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. He’ll consider his presidency a success if it accomplishes nothing, but reverses every Obama-era action.
It sure was nice of Flake and Corker and McCain to speak out excoriating the president before walking into the senate chambers and voting his agenda right down the line: Senate votes to repeal an arbitration rule that allows for class action suits against banks. Banks like Wells Fargo when they do shit like Wells Fargo does. You know, really looking out for the forgotten man; the little guy. It was a 50-50 vote, broken by Pence, with Lindsey Graham and John Kennedy the Republicans to vote against.
So thanks guys, but then again, go fuck yourselves if this is the sort of shit we are to continue to expect from you.
They’re all cocks, the lot of 'em. They just don’t like that one bastard over there.
Flake and Corker were also two of the seventeen to vote against the disaster relief bill that went to Trump’s desk as well, so let’s not start sucking their dicks just yet, is all I’m saying.
Oops. You just gave him the idea.
Yes. One of the biggest drawbacks of Trumpism is that some Americans will be deceived into thinking that Republioturds who’ve opposed the Orange Sociopath have somehow demonstrated actual humanity.
It’s important that the American public realize that all these [del]cocks[/del] cooks are helping to serve up the same shit-filled omelette.
Of course, it goes deeper than that. Obama and Killary set up the ambush in the first place, specifically to make it look like they killed “la david johnson”, (as if that was ever his real name(and like he’s really dead, why do you think it took so long to “find the body”, you do the math)), then timed the delivery of the casket to line up with trump’s sacred call to comfort the family of the fallen. That way, their operative wilson could be in the car in order to have an excuse to make up lies about our dear leader.
It’s just like when Jeff Flake and Bob Corker flew those drones into the buildings on 9-11.
Yeah, but at that point you’ve still got almost a thousand miles to go.
Flake’s speech was indeed pretty good as written, but I saw some clips of him reciting it and it came off as…colorless. Poor, affectless delivery, stumbled over every fifth or so word…Obama would have knocked it out of the park, oratory-wise.
You got some of the EGGS? I didn’t get any eggs.
So walk 500 miles, and then walk 500 more.
So you’re satisfied with what Flake Proclaimed?
That, and Trump’s tweets are their main source of information.
It reminds me of the O.J. Simpson jury who had so much information kept from them. After the trial was over and they found out all the stuff they were not allowed to hear and consider, they were shocked.
