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.

Aptly named "flake", this nitwit moron loser once again proves that he is worthless...not only as a senator, but also as a member of the human race. What a pathetic joke of a human. How do you say LOSER??? Let me count the ways...

Sow distrust? After 8 years of a criminal organization controlling the levers of our federal government. We are well past that Flake...

President Trump will not likely pay attention to Flake.

Trump doesn’t listen to losers.

“When was the last time someone was tarred and feathered in this country?”

Probably during the American Revolution; the King’s tax collectors were a favorite target.

Anyway, that’s history and so is Jeff the Flake.

The whole lot are crooks, thieves, perverts and all in all not very good people. How the hell did we ever get such a mess? If anything, Trump has brought it all to the surface and the pot is boiling over.

PARTIALLY correct, IMO. The 1st part has BEEN known to all that will looks. My $.02, Trump merely rubbed (some of) ‘our’ noses in it saying, “DO YOU *FINALLY* SEE??”.

For his warts, he’s a Founder’s ideal: a NON-politician having the will and want to do the JOB.

Top people at the FBI are corrupt - they served corrupt liberal elites rather than the American people.

They say, "it doesn't matter - 'most all' FBI agents are good honest people.

So what?

'Most all' people working for Bernie Madoff were 'good honest' people too.

“Doesn’t Flake realize what a fool he’s making of himself?”
Aw, com’on—Smartest people (according to themselves) are mainly the STUPID ones!

F you Jeff Flake. You’re dead politically, Arizona despises you and loves Donald Trump.

And guess what: I sent $100 to Roy Moore, cancelling out your cheesey $100 stunt donation!

“Let’s not sow distrust in our democratic institutions,”
“Because that’s our job here in Congress and we deserve an A+ for our great work.”

Flake comes from good pioneer stock in Snowflake, AZ where the living was never easy (I briefly dated a very cute girl in Snowflake!). I had great hopes when Flake was elected coming from this family. What a huge disappointment.

Snowflake, set amid the open sky and vast emptiness of the high desert, is more than just the senator's hometown. Its whimsical name derives from those of two Mormon settlers, Erastus Snow and William J. Flake, the senator's great-great-grandfather.

Today, hundreds of Flake descendants, including the senator's mother, live in the town of about 5,500, which is dotted with unofficial shrines to its early settlers and Mormon heritage. The James M. Flake pioneer home is catty-corner from the Eugene Flake heritage barn; a block away, at the pioneer museum, a Flake cousin last week was offering free tour

Comment on Trump.....

“he’s a Founder’s ideal: a NON-politician having the will and want to do the JOB.”....

Looks like we need to make a new policy....”No politicians can run for POTUS”.

Lawyers...to the Exec NOR the Legislative. IMO, they are the cause of the problems: conflict of interest/revolving door of “bill-law-sue-’decree’-repeat” (because of the ‘loopholes’ and vague verbiage)

I can’t recall reading/hearing anything ruled “void for vagueness”, and prob. not since FDR packing.
