Arizona Senator Jeff Flake caught on a hot mic admitting that the Republican party is "toast."

Courtesy of ABC News:

Flake, R-Ariz., was at a tax reform event in Mesa, Arizona on Friday night when he was caught bashing the president in a conversation with friend, Mesa Mayor John Giles. 

"If we become the party of Roy Moore and Donald Trump, we are toast," Flake was caught saying by ABC affiliate KNXV.

Well, he's not wrong.

    I'm sure most Republicans know it throughout the country IF they have half a brain. Trump has screwed them royally and they are going down!!

    You couldn't pay me to vote for one - especially the likes of Murkowski (of Alaska) who has shown her support of Trump. Don't trust ANY of them!

    Impeach Donald Trump, Republicans! That is the only thing that will actually save your party!

      We should ALL work at getting out the vote. It CAN be accomplished. I've already started talking to friends and neighbors about the importance of it in our next election.

      There is a wonderful feeling to casting your vote and making YOUR statement!

      If only we could get to GOP to COUNT the votes we cast. Michigan never had a full recount a year ago. Hillary won here and around the country. How many more than three million do we need?

      8:29 AM - I don't know that it would matter. Electoral votes don't have to follow the will of the voters they represent.

    ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET,
    THE RUSKIES ARE COMING


    $400M yacht owned by billionaire Putin ally docks in Florida days before Trump’s arrival

    One of the world’s most expensive yachts, owned by a Russian billionaire with close ties to the Kremlin, sailed into Palm Beach days ahead of President Trump’s arrival.

    The 533-foot Eclipse comes equipped with a pool, helipad, submarine and room for a crew of 92.

    The mega-yacht, owned by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich and worth between $400 million to $500 million, arrived in Florida on Friday, according to the Palm Beach Post....

    It’s expected to spend two weeks docked about 8 miles from the President’s Mar-a-Lago resort, where Trump is expected to spend Thanksgiving...

    Abramovich, 51, is considered a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    He has met several times socially with Trump adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner. Their wives are good friends, according to security clearance forms filled out by Kushner and Ivanka Trump....

    “There’s no oligarch among those still accepted in the West who’s closer and more trusted by Putin than Abramovich,” Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a former oil magnate, told Bloomberg....

    $wamp Mon$Ters will eat their own "Republican votes on Thursday repeals Section 1204 of the new bill, which, under the current tax code, offered an exemption for "Interest Payment on Qualified Education Loans, Tuition & Related Expenses, Interest on United States Savings Bond, Qualified Tuition Reduction, and Employer-Provided Education Assistance."
    ""If they [incoming students] aren't able to sustain themselves, they're going to look at other avenues: Canada, Europe, Australia, maybe even China,"
    "Which ultimately affects science research in the United States. "Graduate students are the ones working in labs, doing the research," In an age where science has a more prominent role than ever before, it's hard to not see the role of the administration's push towards giving wealthier individuals tax credits while believing that graduate students can afford to pay for their tuition. It's ignorant at best, detrimental and short-sighted at worst to the investment of science in our lives. The cure to your future disease, the ability to use technology to make your life easier,". By reducing the group of people who are doing science to privileged white American-born males, American science becomes ironically un-American, losing the diversity that has helped shape it as the most dynamic in the world, the variety of viewpoints and educational systems that make collaboration in a world-class research institution possible to creating hypotheses that challenge the status quo.""Graduate students are writing their representatives, though that gets messy when you're from one state and going to school in another, as Ruck has discovered. Her home representative is Sen. Ted CruZ, but she says she's only received canned responses from him and isn't surprised since she's a student in Indiana."
    " On the MONDAY AFTER Thanksgiving, graduate students are staging a MA$$ WALKout across the country, backed by the organizers of the March for SCIENCE staged earlier this year on Earth Day." RESIST!

    Speaking of toast...

    Top Alabama papers turn on Roy Moore citing ‘pathological fixation on sex’ and sexual abuse of children

    ...This election is a turning point for women in Alabama. A chance to make their voices heard in a state that has silenced them for too long.

    The accusations against Roy Moore have been horrifying, but not shocking.

    Every day new allegations arise that illustrate a pattern of a man in his 30s strutting through town like the cock of the walk, courting and preying on young women and girls. And though Roy Moore has denied the accusations of these women, his own platform and record is hostile to so many Alabamians.

    Unlike the national party, the Alabama Republican establishment has chosen to stand by him, attacking and belittling the brave women who have come forward.

      Even a police officer came forward and said everyone in the county knows he preded on young girls!
      He use to go to the YWCA and lift weights shirtless.

      Electing Moore sends the message to victims of abuse: Keep silent or be disbelieved or shamed no matter how much evidence there is. Once defiled; always defiled. Suffer in silence or suffer public degradation.
      But a vote for Roy Moore is also sending a message to predators across the nation: Come to Alabama where you will be safe to carry out your predations. Not just safe, but elevated to the offices of trust in church and the state.
      In the blind passion to protect the unborn, the women and children of the state are subjected to greater dangers that can only increase when predators feel safe.

    How much will it cost the American taxpayers to rent Mar-a-lago rooms for Thanksgiving at holiday season prices to the Secret Service, first family, friends and their guests?

    How much will it cost the American taxpayers to pay for the services of the Secret Service, Coast Guard, local police and fire department to protect the first family, friends and guests and serve them during their Thanksgiving holiday at Mar-a-lago?

    How much will it cost the American taxpayers to pay Trump for the services of the chefs, maids and the rest of the overpaid Mar-a-lago staff at Thanksgiving holiday price to serve the Secret Service, the first family, friends and guests?

    How much will it cost the American taxpayers to pay Trump for the use of his overpriced golf course and their staff for the first family, friends and guests at Thanksgiving holiday prices?

    I, for one, am not so sure about their being toast. Memorize a few key buzzwords, invoke the name of God, and the sheeple will follow right over a cliff.

    "Culture Wars: Corporate Pocketbooks."
    "This week, prominent alt-righters such as Laura Loomer, Richard Spencer and Baked Alaska were either downgraded from their verified status or booted from the platform all together. The liberals' whining seems to have worked.
    On TV, liberals watched Fox News host Sean Hannity attack and debase the Roy Moore accusers. As a result, they endorsed a campaign to have Fox advertisers boycott Hannity's show, resulting in a significant exodus of high-profile brands."solution to the fact that three branches of the federal government and the legislatures of all too many states are populated by set of politicians who want to roll this nation back to the Gilded Age of the early 20th century for either rabid ideological or completely cynical reasons."

    Sen. Jeff Flake(y), who is unelectable in the Great State of Arizona (quit race, anemic polls) was caught (purposely) on “mike” saying bad things about your favorite President. He’ll be a NO on tax cuts because his political career anyway is “toast.”
