Watch Republican give awkward speech on Russia to empty senate chamber

In a previous piece we reported the outgoing Arizona Republican Senator (and Never Trumper) Jeff Flake giving a 14 minute speech to an all-but empty Senate floor.  This speech was attended by all of two – yes, only two Senators, both of them not big Trump fans, either, these two being Dick Durbin and Amy Klobuchar.
However, the good Senator lied.  What is particularly sad about this is that he lied while giving a speech that was about truthfulness.

Trump wars: fights and loathing in the alt-media community

I’ll proudly say it — I supported Trump in the past and and still do in some respects.
I’m 110% opposed to his international agenda, the details of which I outlined right after the election in one of my Sputnik articles (which trolls deliberately leave out of their infowar narratives about me), but still stand by his domestic policies.
People freak out because so many of them are rigid dogmatic ideologues who can’t separate issues and only believe in maximalist approaches of either totally supporting someone and every single thing they do or opposing the whole package.
