Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake abandoned his 2018 re-election campaign while insisting he would still fight to prevent President Donald Trump from warping the Republican Party’s traditional conservatism beyond recognition. He’s even teasing a possible presidential run in 2020 by refusing to rule it out whenever asked.But if you’re a never-Trump Republican, don’t get too excited by the prospect of Flake saving the GOP, or blazing a new third party trail for his brand of kinder, gentler conservatism.

  • Trump Brags At NRA Event That He Did 'Nothing' About Gun Violence
    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 05/20/2024 - 07:05 AM

    The Drain the Swamp fabulist spoke at the wholly corrupt National Rifle Association's event on Saturday in Dallas, Texas, and went on to brag about doing absolutely "nothing" about gun violence. Trump is very proud of that, just as he is proud of overturning Roe. Trump can't feel empathy, and he's sucking up to the NRA out of desperation for votes to keep him out of prison.

Imagine a nation, our nation, where the top 1% possess more wealth than the bottom 90% combined— a nation, our nation, where the gap between the haves and the have-nots widens with each passing year.
