    1. @Go Home California governor announced today, Chicago mayor wants to open indoor dining, take my word for it or look it up, restrictions are going away! For some reason the Chicago teachers union doesn’t want kids in school, ironic! Kids in Nevada are killing themselves, unknown #s of kids are being abused and killed, all over the China flu!

    2. @Mark Warren I know all about California and Chicago. Whatever they’re doing, whichever kind of restrictions were in place, they need to remain in my opinion. Are there tolls to pay? Yes. I understand there are negative psychological effects especially on youth and unfortunately are paying a terrible price. Its a pandemic. No one wants it around. Everyone wants it to be over with already but the reality is, we won’t kick it if half the country does one thing (wear masks) and the other half ignores the obvious. We will be livingn with this for another two years if we let all the variant strains in and dont tackle it as The UNITED States. Divided, we fall.

      The definition of a flake is a small piece of something, or is slang for an unreliable person.

    1. I am a trump voter. my problem with people like flake and romney is they are partisans. if flake or romney saw something trump does that they don’t like, they are very critical. but, I firmly believe if biden did that exact same thing, they will barely even bat an eye. I can tell you had trump and one of his sons did what biden and his son hunter did, romney and flake would be calling for an independent counsel (at a minimum) and possibly impeachment at worst. but what have they said about biden and his son? nothing? romney called it UNSAVORY? talk about putting it midly. and has flake even said anything. this is why I hate flake. he doesn’t call it how he sees it. he calls it in a way that benefits the politician he likes and hurts the politician he doesn’t like. that is called a partisan hack. and him having to even THINK about whether he would vote to confirm kavanaugh? pretty damb scary.

  1. I like how the former senators claim that if they were still in office they would vote for conviction… That’s hilarious ….

    1. Not really? What they say carries far more weight than you or I. And they still have followers, also, unlike you or I.

    2. Jeff Flake voted in line with Trump 81-84% of the time.
      Trump did not support much of anything that was good for we the people,but Flake was a consistent backer.

  2. Jeff Flake and Adam Kinzinger are a couple of the few Reps I still respect. Republicans think they can get away with not convicting t rump, but if they don’t punish these crimes, they will destroy their party and lose millions of voters. I’ve lost all respect for that party, and at one time I agreed with a lot of the values they once claimed to hold.Now? They’re a pack of cowards and liars.

    1. @End Hate but he voted for that circus kavanaugh put on! Fbi weren’t allowed to investigate. There were witnesses to the pervert’s travesty but were silenced. Now we have someone on our highest court who will forever be viewed as a probable pervert along with Clarence Thomas.

    1. @Cutaway I grew up in a house with 2 concert pianists and a 1937 Steinway B. A piano is like a long lost mother who remembers you on sight. Nothing simpleton-ish about it.

    2. But there’s no music on it! On t’uther hand that looks like a basement room which is good for the piano. Piano should be a mess of manuscripts and sheet music and a silly big pyramid wind-up metronome, else we may suspect it’s a wealthy person’s status symbol or forgotten wishes.

    2. We now have 2 great Senators 😀
      Senators Mark Kelly and Senator Kirsten Senama. The Republicans who did this censure are loudmouthed Trumplicans.
      Obviously they learned nothing from McSally’s defeat.

  3. JFK: “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country”.
    DJT: “When you’re the President, the power is absolute”.

  4. “Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president.” – Teddy Roosevelt

    1. On his first day in office, the Biden Administration set aside the immigration laws enacted by Congress and suspended the removal of illegal aliens whose removal is required by those same laws. wtf! 🤪🧐

    2. @Knite Gary united we stand and divided, we don’t stand a chance. We’ll just be cancelling one another out; and our kids will be pissed!

    3. @yoyo57 well joe didn’t perpetrate a coup and riled up his racist base to undermine the election Trump is a traitor to this country

  5. In four short years Trump made the Republican party lose the house, the senate, the white house … AND THEIR SOULS.

  6. Flake is right. History has shown that when there’s a “outlier” president like Trump….that the mainstream Republicans will vote Democrat.
