Can't think of anyone more aptly named

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Flake

His life story reads like a liberal. 

The Flake assumed office in January 2013 and sat through Barry's abuse of power and said nothing... and now he's outraged at Trump!

 People of AZ.

 

Why do
you
continually elect these dogs?

"Enemy of the people" describes the MSM to a tee. They absolutely do not report the news in an unbiased, apolitical, way. If they did Trump wouldn't have to use Twitter. Their 'preconceived polls' lied every step of the way leading to and including the night of the election. Bias... they don't even try to hide it anymore!. Just the other day it was clearly evident again when they peppered Trump's doctor looking, begging, digging, for any morsel of bad news about Trump's physical. The question was asked, "What are you hiding from us?"

Then the shock set in:

(Dear God please don't let Trump get a clean bill of health)

(Oh... no..no...he did!!!!!!!!)

And if you check the latest news reports the entire focus is on 239lbs.

Next step for the Flake... CNN?

I'd be surprised if it wasn't.

"Republican"...Flake slams Trump for Stalin-like attacks on media

Arizona Republican Jeff Flake unleashed a diatribe against President Donald Trump, timed to coincide with the expected announcement of controversial "Fake News Awards" by Trump's administration

A maverick senator from Donald Trump's own Republican party launched a stinging attack on the president on Wednesday, accusing him of employing Stalinist language to attack and undermine the free press.

Arizona lawmaker Jeff Flake leveled the broadside in an address from the Senate floor, timed to coincide with the expected announcement of controversial "Fake News Awards" by Trump's administration.

Flake -- an outspoken critic of the president who is not seeking re-election this year -- hit out at what he called Trump's disregard for the truth, and his repeated designation of the news media as an "enemy."

"The 'enemy of the people' was how the president of the United States called the free press in 2017," Flake told lawmakers.

"Mr. President, it is a testament to the condition of our democracy that our own president uses words infamously spoken by Joseph Stalin to describe his enemies," he said.

"So fraught with malice was the phrase 'enemy of the people,' that even Nikita Khrushchev forbade its use."

Flake accused Trump's White House of a "daily assault" on the constitutionally protected right to free speech, calling it "as unprecedented as it is unwarranted."

And he accused Trump of committing "moral vandalism" against the truth, from his longtime questioning of Barack Obama's birth certificate to his dismissal of Russian meddling in the 2016 election as a "hoax" -- and warned he was emboldening authoritarian regimes around the world to persecute the press.

"2017 was a year which saw the truth -- objective, empirical, evidence-based truth more battered and abused than any time in the history of our country, at the hands of the biggest figure in our government," Flake said.

"Without truth and a principled fidelity to truth and to shared facts, Mr President, our democracy will not last," he warned.

Trump tweeted last week that he would be awarding "Fake News Awards" to the "most corrupt & biased of the Mainstream Media" this Wednesday -- but the White House has remained evasive on whether the controversial event, already once delayed, would take place.

DHS asked prosecutors to consider charging sanctuary city leaders

So...if they were going to prosecute this guy for doing his job arresting illegals. 

Would it be too irrational to judge the dirty bastards in San Francisco who purposely released this scumbag back into society

 with 5 deportations and 7 felony convictions only to kill Kate Steinle?

Shouldn't they be held accountable?

The Department of Homeland Security has asked federal prosecutors to examine the possibility of bringing criminal charges against leaders of so-called sanctuary cities, Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen told lawmakers Tuesday. 

"The Department of Justice is reviewing what avenues may be available," Nielsen told the Senate Judiciary Committee. The secretary added that sanctuary policies were "putting my [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] officers at risk."

The Trump administration has vowed to withhold federal money from localities that refuse to give federal immigration authorities access to jails and provide advance notice when someone in the country illegally is about to be released.

Earlier this month, the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told Fox News' "Your World with Neil Cavuto" that politicians should be held "personally accountable" for crimes committed by illegal immigrants.

"We've got to start charging some of these politicians with crimes," Tom Homan said in the Jan. 2 appearance.

California recently passed a statewide sanctuary policy that took effect Jan. 1, and cities such as San Francisco, Chicago and Philadelphia have adopted them.

A federal judge has blocked the Justice Department's effort to halt funding to those locations.

Last month, Rep. Todd Rokita, R-Ind., introduced a bill threatening elected officials in sanctuary cities with fines and prison time.

AFTER STEINLE VERDICT, REP UNVEILS BILL TO IMPRISON OFFICIALS WHO SHELTER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

"Politicians don't get to pick and choose what laws to comply with," Rokita told Fox News at the time "Americans are dying because politicians sworn to uphold the law refuse to do so."

Rokita introduced the bill in the wake of the Kate Steinle trial, in which an illegal immigrant who had been deported to Mexico five times was acquitted of murdering Steinle on a San Francisco pier in 2015.

Mainstream media hammers physician over Trump’s health

One thing is undeniable. 
If there was any doubt about media bias the Trump presidency made it abundantly clear what team their playing for. 

Video 389

The MSM threw everything put the kitchen sink at Trump's physician. They were so disheartened to find out Trump is in excellent health and appeared desperate to hear something other than the truth.

These were some of the comments:

"What are you hiding from us?" This was said several times.

"His PSA is low, not high?" You could feel the air going out of their ballon.

On the cognitive test, Trump got a perfect score 30 out of 30.

 It settled over the gaggle of reporters like a wet blanket.

(Oh...shit...so much for the insanity/Alzheimer's "diagnosis")

The best one was when Acosta asked about the shit-hole and the doctor responded. 

"Are you referring to his colonoscopy or Haiti?"

Switzerland bans boiling lobsters alive

What are they going to do put a cop next to the stove?

 

Gotta love this.

"With an experienced chef, using a large, sharp knife, thrust into the right place into the head of the lobster and then cutting down along the midway -- that should kill the lobster very quickly and effectively -- "

I'm sure the lobster is looking forward to that!

(CNN) — Lobsters are a delicious delicacy loved by coastal dwellers across the world -- but is boiling them alive inhumane?

In a new law, the Swiss government has banned the common culinary practice of throwing the crustaceans into boiling water while they are still conscious.

The move is a response to studies that suggest lobsters are sentient with advanced nervous systems that may feel pain.

From March 2018, lobsters being prepared in Switzerland will need to be knocked out before they're put to death, or killed instantly. They'll also get other protections while in transit.

"Live crustaceans, including the lobster, may no longer be transported on ice or in ice water. Aquatic species must always be kept in their natural environment," says the new law, according to Swiss Info. "Crustaceans must now be stunned before they are killed," 

The new edict comes in the wake of a recent Italian law that decreed lobsters can't be kept on ice in restaurant kitchens.

Switzerland's decision is applauded by Professor Robert Elwood, emeritus professor in ecology, evolution, behavior and environmental economics at Queens University, Belfast.

Elwood has conducted a series of experiments that suggest crustaceans are sentient and that boiling them alive is inhumane.

"With the data we know, it is highly likely that the animal will be in pain," he says. "We give protection to birds and mammals, currently we give very little protection to decapod crustaceans -- lobsters and crabs -- and the question comes, why is there this difference?" 

First step

Scientists say lobsters have advanced nervous systems.

Elwood's studies suggest crustaceans will make serious life and death decisions when exposed to pain. In experiments, hermit crabs were quick to abandon a shell if it was exposed to a large electric shock.

"They are really giving up a very valuable resource that means life to them, essentially, in order to escape from the noxious stimulus," explains Elwood.

The scientist says he is pleased governments are considering this data and making changes accordingly.

"It's a positive move, the Swiss are looking at a potential problem and trying to deal with it," he says.

But for Elwood, this is only the first step in addressing this issue.

"I don't know how many lobsters are boiled in Switzerland per year, but it's probably quite a small amount compared with the billions upon billions of crustaceans that are used each year in the human food chain," he says.

Humane solutions

The new Swiss law won't make lobster rolls at thing of the past.

The new law doesn't mean taking lobster off the menu. There are methods of killing them which are considered more humane -- and which Swiss chefs might now adopt.

"With an experienced chef, using a large, sharp knife, thrust into the right place into the head of the lobster and then cutting down along the midway -- that should kill the lobster very quickly and effectively -- and is probably the most humane way in a small operation," suggests Elwood.

Elwood also pinpoints a device called the Crustastun, which destroys the lobster's nervous system.

Elwood hopes to discourage the practice of not only boiling but also dismembering while the animal is alive. "I would question the use of that in a modern society," he says.

Time will tell whether other countries will follow Switzerland's example.
