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.

Talk about bringing a knife to a gun fight!!!

Flakey vs Trump is a total mismatch, kinda like Hulk Hogan vs Chelsea Manning.

jeffy girl, be quiet and try to slink away and hope no one notices, you CANNOT WIN.

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

No need to, we already KNOW what a sham exists in our so-called “government”. 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.

Yeah man ST#U already!!

He has proven WAY beyond doubt that it’s better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you’re an ass than to open it frequently and prove it utterly and completely true.

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.

I seriously think it’s mental illness.

Jeff Flake, pissing on us peasants and saying we should be thankful for the way Fedzilla makes it rain.

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

You are probably correct. It is concerning that it seemingly involves so many people.

Says a US Senator who ran his campaign knowing damn well he wasn’t going to fulfill his campaign promises. Who seems to embrace this real bad tendency of US Senators to find a way to decide who gets to be in the US Senate. With an approval rating so bad in AZ he didn’t dare run for re-election.

Flake seems to have a lot of influence on other colleagues, the two McCs, Thune, Sasse, Gardner, Tillis, uite a few.

I know what you mean: words matter. Remember how GWB was talking about spreading “democracy” to the Middle East, just another version of Woodrow Wilsonism.

Not Rigged: The Democrat primary was fixed for Hillary and against Bernie

Not Sick: Hillary ran the Clinton Global Initiative and the State Department from the same private server to combine US policy and CGI fundraising activities and avoid public scrutiny.

Not Rigged: Al Franken beat Norm Colman by fewer votes than those illegally cast by known felons.

Not Sick: Obama obtained a FISA warrant based on a wholly fraudulent dossier, gathered information on the Republican Presidential Candidate, and widely disseminated the information by unmasking the names of the Republicans surveilled.

Not Rigged: John Conyers II will pass his House seat to his first born, John Conyers III, in spite of Junior’s arrests for domestic violence and general incompetence.

Not Sick: Obama’s Justice Department supplied guns to Mexican drug gangs in order to support a violent drug war on the US border in order to effect US gun policy.

Not Rigged: Precincts in Philadelphia routinely show 110% turnout, and nobody does anything about it.

Not Sick: The US legacy media is engaging in non- stop coordinated and fraudulent attacks against the President.

Not Rigged: Comey made the decision to clear Hillary before his investigation was completed and before she was interviwed. Clinton operatives lied to the FBI without punishment.

I could go on like this all day...

Thanks for the list. Yes, I bet you can go on all day with additions.

It would be very frightening if there was a thread here on FR taking additions to the list. It would be a book size volume when printed out.

how dumb can a US Senator be?
When was the last time Flake looked at the Dept. of Justice, the FBI, the VA etc. Hey Flake, don’t let the door hit you in the @$$ on the way out.

Flake obviously believes the Clintons, Comey’s, Mueller’s, Lynchs, Obama’s, ad nausea are decent people who follow the letter of the law.
