1. The only problem with this photo is that it doesn't show the woman who should be POTUS

Hillary Rodham Clinton, seated on the other side of President Bill Clinton.

12. +1

15. Yep. I kept watching and wondering why that was the camera angle.

Once again, she got cheated.

2. Dirty Donny* (R) loses

So much losing.

3. F*** You Flake!

If you were decent at all, you would do something with these last few months you have in the Senate. You could stop the Kavanaugh nomination. You could stop any more toxic RW judges from being confirmed.

4. Flake and Corker

Pundits give these two credit for speaking out against trump. BS. Their occasional and timid criticisms of the illegitimate are as effective as thoughts and prayers are to stopping the epidemic of school shootings.

6. Hear, hear!

Actions, NOT tweets and words matter.

19. They don't oppose Trump's policies. They just don't like him because he is

vulgar and because he has exposed what the GOP is really all about.

5. Perhaps he will start following their example.

Preferably before he leaves office.

10. That thought

is the triumph - or should I say the trump - of hope over experience

[ZeroSomeBrains]

7. Decency will win when

You stop the facsist's Supreme Court pick. Until then you are a paper tiger and a coward.

8. Screw you Flake

9. A good statement by Flake. He paid dearly for criticizing Trump. He wrote a book, too, I think.

He can give it another try, maybe, after Trumpism fades.

14. Idiocy from Flake.

American democracy is being slowly destroyed and all Flake can do is spout empty words. He’s got a Senate vote. He could do something. He chooses not to because he needs the GOP hateful base for his future Presidential run.

Cravenness wins.
Party-before-country wins.
Selfishness wins.

Flake is a walking example of the people who are most responsible for our national emergency.

20. Not sure what you mean. HE is one of the examples to the others of what happens when you speak out.

He is one of the reasons the others don't. They have seen how Trump goes after you and destroys careers.

At least he spoke up. That's more than most of them have. True, he still voted Republican. Well, he is Republican, and they fall in line. But I give him credit for speaking out.

11. I'll bet this whole thing bugs the crap out of the Traitor Tot.

Gosh, the spotlight falls on decent people behaving with gentility and decorum.

Well, I'm sure the Donald will do or say something egregious any minute now.

[Honeycombe8]

21. If there's one thing we can count on, it's that he'll say something egregious. nt

13. Let's see when he goes against Kavanaugh

[Honeycombe8]

22. Why would Trump go against his own S.Ct. pick? nt

17. The dotard aint going to be too happy about that
