Flake rebuts Trump: US doesn't have a 'sick' or 'rigged' system
The Hill ^ | 12/8/17 | Jesse Byrnes

Posted on 12/09/2017 3:02:24 AM PST by x1stcav

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) chided President Trump in a tweet Friday night after the president asserted that the U.S. has a "rigged system."

"This is not a sick system, Mr. President, nor is it a rigged system. Let's not sow distrust in our democratic institutions," Flake tweeted.

Doesn't Flake realize what a fool he's making of himself?

“Let’s not sow distrust in our democratic institutions,”

It is not our democratic institutions Trump is criticizing, it it idiots like Flake.

MAGA covers and includes our democratic institution, prick.

He doesn't care. Trump haters, including the MSM, those in Hollywood, NFL players etc are so rabidly filled with hate for Trump that they are willing to destroy themselves and tick off 50% of their viewers/customers/fans/etc.

It's fascinating to watch.

Sounds like Jeff is afraid of coming prosecution or exposure for wrong doing.

Self destruction at an epic scale. It is fascinating to be an observer during the period on mental illness and just plain stupidity on public display.

"Because that's our job here in Congress and we deserve an A+ for our great work."

I would disagree. The Jeff-train has run out of steam...no energy...no motion...just resting there on the tracks. Jess hasn’t been truly back in Arizona since 2001 (when he first came to DC as a Representative). He hasn’t connected with locals there for 16 years. Other than reading the Phoenix or Tucson newspapers...that’s about it for Jeff knowing the state.

If you asked Jeff what NAFTA did to his state...he’d have no idea. If you asked how immigration has affected the state....again, he has no idea.

Gee Jeff, I wonder why the voters hate you and love Trump?

You should think about that, Jeff.

Thanks for that insight. I think that could apply to a lot of vaunted, distinguished Senators.

Duct tape probably won’t do the job; the jacka$$ needs an exorcist.

You are so right. It’s tribalism, nothing but tribalism, impervious to logic, reason, common sense ... or common decency.

Hefty boy has probably let his Junior Senator run free a little too often.

I come from Arizona and I can tell you first-hand the neither one of these shitbags represent Arizona. They represent themselves and their own interests. Can especially is the epitome of the rigged system, AZ nobody wants him in office and somehow he continues to get reelected.

Not rigged?

Talk to Chris Daniels in Mississippi.

Joe Miller in AK.

Christine O’Donnell in DE (which I witnessed up close and personal)

“...our democratic institutions.”

...use of the word “democratic” by a politician gives me the creepy-crawlies along with immediate thought that they’ve left out the obligatory “peoples” or “socialist”.
Words have meaning and our actively disloyal opposition likely won’t rest easy until some combination of the words I cite become part of our nation’s official name.

Indictments are coming. Sides are being chosen.
