Jeff Flake retires. Arizona senator is fed up with his fellow Republicans and Trump.
The Arizona senator announce he will not seek reelection. Dinald J. Trump and his allies are cheering his retirement. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) has had it with Republicans and their blind support of Trump.
Yesterday, Flake announced his retirement after Trump met with Republicans at the Capitol.
Flake said that he can't look at himself as a rubber stamp to this agenda. He says that he values his principles and rather be a role model. He warns Republicans that if they don't put a check on Trump, the party will be doomed.
Flake also admitted that he was facing a tougher primary challenger. He said that he did what was right for Arizona. The senator said that the Republicans are moving further to the right.
The Roy Moore win are a sign of the times. The former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court beat Sen. Luther Strange (R-AL) in a bitter Republican primary run off. The senator's defeat was big. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell placed his bets on Strange. The right went to Moore and wrapped itself around a white extremist who has said racially and homophobic comments about Americans.
Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) who is retiring as well is also fed up with Trumpism. The senator said that Trump needs a timeout and is unbecominging of leader.
Trump dismissed the concerns and said that he is happy that he can get loyalist to help him "Make America Great Again."
His allies were cheering the removal.
Steve Bannon of Breitbart News is calling this another scalp being claimed. The white extremist said at the Faith & Freedom Summit that he vowed to take on every member of the Senate and House who opposes Trump.
Sean "Softball" Hannity called him "snowFlake" and "branFlake" on his right wing carnival.
Dr. Kelli Ward, the former state lawmaker who announced her bid is vey pleased with the decision.
This is why voting is important. We have a leader and a party willing to put all of us at risk. I expect we will have civil unrest in the coming years.
Republicans will be responsible for the country's destruction.
The former president and his staff quickly apologized to Heather Lind.
The actress claimed she was sexually harassed by 41.
George H.W. Bush did a photo-op with Lind and he grabbed her booty while Barbara Bush was there. The former president was at a private screening for the AMC's series "Turn: Washington Spies."
Bush is 93 years old and is wheelchair bound. The former president was in Texas this month with formers Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama doing a charity event for victims of the hurricanes and wildfires.
The former president didn't shake her hand. Instead he wrapped his hand around her hip and pinched her booty. He then told a dirty joke to Lind.
Jim McGarth, Bush spokesman made a public statement saying it wasn't intentional.
“President Bush would never — under any circumstance — intentionally cause anyone distress, and he most sincerely apologizes if his attempt at humor offended Ms. Lind.”
So the former president grabbed her booty and Barbara Bush rolled her eyes and said "not again."
Lind was told by security detail not to stand by the former president.
Lind was disgusted by the former president.
The accusers of Donald J. Trump are upset. They are wondering why the junk food media is ignoring their accusations.
Harvey Weinstein, Bill O'Reilly, Bill Cosby, Fox News and other entities made the news.

Cub Scout gets kicked out of his den because he questioned a Republican state lawmaker from Colorado.
Colorado State senator Vicki Marble is a controversial figure. The Republican was under fire for saying Black people are not eating healthy food. She was complaining about the poor using food stamps to eat chicken and ribs.
This went viral.
A Cub Scout grills her on her support for allowing firearms in the hands of domestic violence abusers. He also asks her about her comments about the poor and Black people.
Ames Mayfield was doing his civic duty by asking the state lawmaker these questions.
“I was astonished that you blamed black people for poor health and poverty because of all the chicken and barbecue they eat.”
Marble denied the comment and said it was fake news.
Then a few hours later, he was told he was no longer allowed to participate in the Cub Scouts.
Republicans want to monopolize "political correctness." They only concerned about political correctness when it suits their needs. Donald J. Trump is the king of hypocrisy.
Fake Steven Seagal complains about Black on whatever violence.
Sabestian Gorka said this on a local Sinclair Broadcasting Group station.
On a Sinclair station, Gorka refers to "black African crime on black African crime" & says black men are killing each other "by the bushel" pic.twitter.com/Cbtqm39tTd
The former advisor to Donald J. Trump said that "Black Africans are shooting Black Africans by the bushels." The asshole was on a local station talking about gun violence in the country. Of course, he places the blame goes to the Democratic Party and Barack Obama.
The company promotes a conservative agenda on your local news. It's under fire for putting on controversial agitators like Gorka, Sheryl Attkisson, Sara Carter and Mark Hyman.
SBG want to buy Tribune Media, LLC. They want to dominate 40% of American households.
SBG also owns Circa, a news aggregator website that promotes conservative bullshit.
Gorka writes for Circa and Breitbart.
Three weeks since the Las Vegas shooting in which 58 people were massacred by this white terrorist. The Republican Party said that now is not the time to talk about gun violence.
Mind you 93 people are killed by firearms a day. Over 2,300 people have died since the Las Vegas shooting.
Gorka runs up this canard about Chicago. The city of Chicago had over 600 fatal shootings and Congress is doing nothing about this.
Gorka is using a classic deflection tactic to ignore gun violence.
Just because Megyn Kelly spoke out against Bill O'Reilly and Fox News doesn't mean we forget that she was a part of the problem. Kelly speaks out against sexual harassment. We haven't forgotten about her controversial statements about black people.
The former ladies of Fox News hit back at Bill O'Reilly. Gretchen Carlson and Megyn Kelly both came out swinging against disgraced conservative agitator.
The New York Times reported that O'Reilly paid out his former colleague Lis Wiehl a estimated amount of $32 million for allegations of sexual harassment.
Wiehl claimed the two had a nonconsensual sexual encounter. She claimed that O'Reilly had sexually harassed her on numerous occasions. He even sent her gay porn and was panting on the phone like he was masturbating.
Why Bill O'Reilly divorced his wife Maureen McPhilly?
According to his ex-wife, O'Reilly was at negligent husband and father.
She was aware of O'Reilly's cheating ways. O'Reilly wanted to get revenge on her by hiring Bo Dietl to harass her. The disgrace conservative agitator also tried to get her boyfriend at the time fired from his job as a cop.
Bill O'Reilly is officially a washed-up celebrity. He is doing podcasts out of his home. He may occasionally appear on Glenn Beck's train wreck and Sean "Softball" Hannity's right-wing carnival.
Back in 2015, O'Reilly was facing a divorce hearing. According to his ex-wife, he physically assaulted her and dragged her down a flight of stairs. O'Reilly's daughter was the key figure in this situation. The daughter and son live with his ex-wife.
There are allegations of him cheating on his wife for years but no one seemed to care. Remember in 2004, O'Reilly escaped controversy. The Andrea Mackris situation was the first issue that brought attention to O'Reilly.
He managed to polish off his image and payout Mackris over $4 million in punitive damages.
And even before this latest round of controversy, Fox News still hired him.
Megyn Kelly who now works for NBC came out to blast the washed up celebrity for his denials of wrongdoing. She also blasted her former boss Bill Shine for allowing this to continue. Shine was fured out the cannon this year.
Megyn Kelly releases her email to Bill Shine and Jack Abernathy.
Irena Briganti and Jack Abernathy continue to work at Fox News despite their history of covering up scandals and allegedly sexually harassing employees.
The former CEO Roger Ailes was fired out the cannon after Carlson sued him for sexual harassment, it opened the door to many accusations against him. He denied any wrongdoing. Ailes died earlier this year leaving behind a legacy of
Mind you, Kelly isn't a saint. She didn't feel this way when she attacked women of color. She often dismissed their concerns about sexual harassment.
Think about how she treated Michelle Obama.
She is struggling over at NBC News. She lost her core base of viewers. They paid her $15 million to revamp Today and Dateline. So far, it's not living up to expectations.
Conservatives look at her as a traitor for taking shots at inept leader Donald J. Trump and her speaking out against Fox News.
Liberals won't let her slide because of her past history and controversial comments about Black people and women. We're still mad that Tamron Hall was fired out the cannon because of her.
