It really is the essential question of his presidency.

But yeah, I also can't hide the fact that I'm entertained and so many of us feel vindicated by this line of questioning by a foreign PM.

Me neither. My guess is he'd think it's somewhere in the eastern bloc, or maybe Scandinavia.
Chipper Chat
(9,708 posts)Is what he does after eating waffles. Or after downing five cheeseburgers.

(6,916 posts)Flake doesnt care about the country.
He only cares about his party and their coalition of billionaires and racists, held together by lies and propaganda.
If he actually cared about the country Flake would subpoena the presidents tax returns. Or arrange his GOP colleagues to do so. Flake doesnt care. Hes just trying to justify getting whomped in the next Senate election by a racist. He doesnt want to believe that his party created this monster by creating a propaganda machine to get votes for billionaires through hate and racism.

(6,916 posts)He chooses instead to tweet strongly worded stern tweets - that are totally useless.
Fraidy-cat Flake is afraid of the GOP base, so he throws America under the bus while tweeting nice things.
Sorry, that is the point of Flake's actions. That's the whole point of Flake's actions, really.
(McCain is in the same boat, with even more power -- as chair of Senate Armed Services, he can personally issue subpoenas. Comey has zero ability to change anything. No one does - except the GOP Congress. And us, the voters, in Nov 2018. GOTV!)
sharedvalues
(6,916 posts)So was this flimsy whataboutism to try to dun Comey with the same brush as sad, loser, weak Flake?
TryLogic
(1,723 posts)I believe his psycho-emotional development pretty well stopped at that age.

(6,560 posts)most 6th graders behave much better than this. I still think he is an arrested 2 year old. He never developed past that stage.
