Jeff Flake Pledges To Close A Loophole That Doesn’t Exist

I think you're watching too much MSM and the constant Anti Trump narratives, he seems to have been pretty busy this first year.

He's been pretty busy doing what he told us he wanted to do. Still a long way to go, but no one can accuse him of not trying to honor his promises.

Those same people voted for him last time, and if he keeps trying to honor his pledges to the people, as he has been, they probably will again.[/quote]

Annnd none of that is major legislation. Gorsuch is not a win IMHO. I am fine with a conservative on the bench. I am not fine with a religious maniac on the bench.

 

Accomplishments don't have to be "major legislation". You knew this and that's why you framed it that way, to cover your ass for trying to pretend he hasn't accomplished anything. Just like the crooked media is doing.

 

I don't view religious zealotry as accomplishment. I view it as a step backwards. You already knew that.

Trump ran a big mouthed New Yorker's campaign.

He delivered on none of it.

And I believe you owe me a shoop dat on his tendency to Golf, despite his vitriol toward Obama on the matter.

You can say it this way: "You're right, I should also bitch about Trump's lack of work ethic and his excessive golfing."

Just a suggestion.

 

See the Paradise Papers.

 

Reckon we shouldn't have turned the media over to 6 multinational corporations.

 

I don't see any of those accomplishments that could be considered religious zealotry, maybe number 30 if you had to choose one I guess. That leaves a lot on the list such as reducing our cost like the 600 billion from the Un, the reduced illegal immigration numbers, pulling out of Paris and the TPP.
Those are examples of actual accomplishments which help America.

Just ignore them I guess as they aren't "Major Legislation"?

 

I am glad he reduced immigration. I don't see Paris as a good thing. I agree with the TPP.

He's picked religious zealots. That's enough for me to declare it a loss for America.


Still waiting for you to condemn his golf habits.

 

Well see, theres a couple. There are mor eon that list as well. To be fair some of that list seems a bit like fluff to me, but there are a lot of legitimate ones.

Huh? If it seems the guy isn't getting much done and spending too much time golfing..perhaps I would. As you can see by that list however, this guy appears to be busting his ass for the people, and I can live with his golfing.

 

I don't want POTUS golfing. I'd like to see major legislation. Term limits like he promised. Tax cuts that aren't just a blatant hand out to the rich and restore much needed cash to the middle class. I want to see real immigration reform and an end to out overseas imperialism.

None of which has come to fruition under Trump and thus I don't think he has done enough.

 

Well, lets be fair...it's only been a year. He's trying.

 

Not good enough for a loud mouthed new Yorker who promised the world and delivered a turd.

 

Fair enough, guess we just disagree.

 

Well, I'll give you this; the one thing Trump has done is expose the rotten underbelly of DC to the world and now all the carrion feasting scum underneath are being exposed to the sun.

The DNC and RNC have been exposed for the lying, sleazing crooks they are.

And for that, I will give POTUS a cheer. Even though he was a buyer of politicians, had he not been elected, we wouldn't be seeing it.

 

Are you going to mention your TDS in every post you make? It's getting tiresome, Russ.

 

Jeff Flake is a flake and needs to hounded out of office.

Jeff Flake Was Foreign Lobbyist Working For Uranium Firm With Ties to Iran.

GOP sold us out on the Iran deal.



Flake came back to Washington from Namibia in 1990 and launched a consulting firm, Interface Public Affairs; he signed up the Rossing uranium mine, one of the new nation’s economic drivers, as a client.

Flake signed on as the mine’s representative a month after Namibia achieved independence. His job was to ensure that sanctions enacted by state and local governments in the U.S. didn’t prevent the sale of Rossing “uranium to some of the utilities around the country,” he said.

More recently, the Rossing mine has come under scrutiny for its financial ties to Iran. While the firm Rio Tinto owns 69 percent of the mine, the Iranian Foreign Investment Co., which the Treasury Department describes as a “wholly owned” subsidiary of the Tehran regime, holds a 15 percent stake. Iran has held its share of the company since the 1970s, said Rio Tinto spokesman Illtud Harri.

Flake in his 1990 federal filing states that Rossing was not “owned,” “financed,” “controlled,” or “subsidized in part” or whole by a foreign government, although Iran and Namibia both held stakes in the mine.

What's to understand? He can't win his primary so he whines about Trump...

 

Russ isn't the one afflicted with TDS. Take a look in the mirror.

 

Yes he is. Everyone who blindly worships Trump suffers from TDS.

 

I understand. The alt-right detests him because he's a Republican.

 

#FlakeNews: Flake Has Been Visiting CNN and MSNBC, Apparently as Part of an Interview Process

Given that media companies are the ultimate power broker lobbying companies in a mediacentric culture, shouldn't there be a five year ban on the revolving door from elected office to media companies? We impose such a rule for lobbying organizations, and they're just the people trying to get the media to help them. They're just middle-men. It's the media corporations themselves that are the ultimate lobbying organizations.

 

Or the lawmakers. Congress always excludes itself from the laws they pass.
