I want this to be true so much, but it’s just too amazing to be true. Taking down the Trump administration at the same time as the NRA would be an actual miracle.

Hercules is unfortunately a myth. We’ll have to settle for one or the other.

Seriously, fuck this hypocrite fuck. I have had it to the point of vomiting with these fake-ass GOP, “I’m so concerned” motherfuckers. If you are concerned, your actions would say it. But they don’t. So fuck off, you worthless piece of shit, giving speeches while the Republic burns and you vote with the man burning it…

The headline should be, The Republicans Throw a Hail Mary to Save the 2018 Elections. But actions always speak louder than words.

“Talk is Cheap” should be the mantra all media uses to describe these anti-Trump Republicans.

Yeah if he wanted to actually be helpful he could start by being the 51 senator on the Net Neutrality restoration.

Yes to all of this. It’s easy to grandstand and get all the likes and takes zero courage. Most of the legislature is full of fucking cowards. It’s all a goddamn show.

Yup. Flake can wake me up when he stops greenlighting Trump’s entire agenda.

Right?! This is him setting himself up for a new position. Governor, maybe. Although he is a better option than the current Governor of Arizona, maybe on par with the last one.

So he’s basically John McCain-ing it?

I do believe this is what one calls “lip service”. Flake is either a coward, a liar, or both. Probably both. His performative objections add up to nothing. I would be not at all surprised that he’s quietly setting himself up and providing himself future sound bites for 2020.

A perfect paraphrase for the GOP:

Continuing to act like a Republican does not make Flake’s outcry hypocritical;

Yeah the author’s criticism of Flake’s critics is completely bone-headed. Continuing to act like a Republican means continuing to act like an authoritarian! Oh if only there were some way a sitting US Senator could do something in a 51-49 senate about the Republican president! SMDH.

I’m thinking that he’s not grandstanding for future historians, he’s grandstanding for a future bid for the presidency.

Yeah, he’s trying to pin everything on Trump, but really it’s his enablers in the GOP that are the problem right alongside with him. A point you made, but one that bears repeating. This is not just about Trump. The whole GOP has to go.

Trump is not Stalin. He is not Hitler. He is not mentally ill, stupid, or any other thing that can excuse his behavior.

Aw man you beat me to it. Flake, sit down and shut up until you actually do something against Trump and his administration.

Jeff, you had every opportunity to close the barn door, but the cow’s gone now and taking a big shit on democracy.

Too little, too late. You’re both pieces of shit Jeff.
