Day 270:
Fuck these republicans getting courage when they are not running again
Here is the thing, Jeff Flake is a monster, deciding not to run again, giving a fancy speech is not going to make up for the years of shitty politics.
He is upset at the mess he himself has caused. Fuck Jeff Flake, also while we are handing out fucks, fuck Bob Corker, John McCain, Paul Ryan, and the rest of them too.
These assholes (the republican party) can’t spend decades being total deviants, doing everything in their power to destroy this country, taking shit loads of money from corporate interests to fuck over the people, and then just go after Trump and pretend that they are somehow different than he is.
Fuck our media for pretending there is any difference between these assholes. Fuck Jeff Flake for this pathetic last minute attempt to claw back a modicum of decency after a career of whoring himself out to the highest bidder. Fuck everything about this whole dog and pony show.
Jeff Flake was going to lose re-election anyway, no republicans are doing a god damn thing to stop Trump, if they were serious about anything they said they would impeach his dumb ass post haste.
