Two political parties that follow a Marxist ideology and work together to destroy anyone who represents the freedom-loving Americans.
This is why fired employees are escorted out of the building.
What in the double hockey sticks is wrong with Flake?
He needs to take up a productive hobby.
Like clockwork, we can count on a #FakeAmerican to stir the pot
His surname is not by coincidence
My first thought. They've got a file on him right next to McCain's file.
Scorched earth by another sh**head of the senate.
This idiot needs a #retirenow campaign. What a loon.
It would be Stalinist if they were dead.
“”This is why fired employees are escorted out of the building.””””
That’s why people who quit get tossed out the door also.
For one thing, he is like Mia Love; he'll say what Bishop Romney tells him to say.
And is there one Rep. senator who will stand up in support of Trump? There isn’t one senator brave enough or honest enough to confront Flake.
Stalin was a corrupt man of the left, just like Flake, Pelosi and Schumer. They don’t even see their clear projection.
Well, when you are an Iran lobbyist, helping to get Uranium for them, Press Cover is necessary.
