Flake: ‘Treason Is Not a Punchline’ — Trump Has ‘Flagrant Disregard for Truth and Decency’
Breitbart Video ^ | February 6, 2018 | Pam Key

Tuesday on the Senate floor, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) criticized President Donald Trump for the remarks he gave in Ohio a day earlier.

During those remarks, he called some Democrats “treasonous” for not applauding the positive economic news at his State of the Union address.

Partial transcript as follows:

Mr. President, last fall I had the honor to stand in this chamber and deliver remarks on the subject of a great and growing concern to me, the stewardship of our democracy at the hands of the most powerful figure in our government. I stand again today to sound the same alarm. Mr. President, words matter. Have we arrived at such a place of numb acceptance that we have nothing to say when a president of the United States casually suggests that those who choose not to stand or applaud his speech are guilty of treason? I certainly hope not. One who levels such a charge knows neither the meaning of treason nor the power that the words of a president carry. And if we are numb to such words, then we will surely regret that we failed to defend our colleagues in the Congress against such a vile remark. Our silence will also mark the day that we failed to recognize that this conduct in an American president simply is not normal.

Maybe he should have read what a scam his religion was then. Not to smart to be scammed by a SOB who claimed to have translated the book of Abraham from a scroll-which was actually a prayer scroll from an Egyptian priest

Skills have nothing to do with Flake

The guy has never had an original thought in his life

Every new congressman gets smothered with a ton of political staffers and campaign consultants who want to tell them how and what to think .

Flake spent too much time listening to consultants and image coaches and his social climber ambitions ensured that he soaks up and adopts the popular Washington group think

These are remarks delivered to an empty chamber. Zero. Like Flake.

"Flake: ‘Treason Is Not a Punchline’ — Trump Has ‘Flagrant Disregard for Truth and Decency’...

...... Actually Trump is the one that is, for the first time, successfully and constantly "Exposing" the Truth against the Barrage of lies coming from the opposition .... not allowing them to frame and control the narratives.

Sorry if you missed my sarcasm. I live in the swamp. Degrees in political science are a dime a dozen. No one here has what anyone else in the rest of the country would be regarded as a skill, like carpentry, or fixing your own car or some such.

Flakes, flakes!
Flakes, flakes!
They don’t do no good
They never be workin’ when they oughta should
They waste your time
They’re wastin’ mine
California’s got the most of them
Boy, they got a host of them

-Frank Zappa
