Asked what Flake suggests should happen next after rebuking the president's actions on the campaign trail and his time in office, Flake stopped short of suggesting Mr. Trump being removed from office.
"I don't think any of those remedies are justified, high crimes misdemeanors, impeachment. I don't think that's the way to go," said Flake.

OP
give the speech of a lifetime about how the President is unfit for office.
And then go out and give an interview where you say it's not about the 25th or impeachment.
Not sure what you want Senator Flake?

Just pat him on the head for pointing out the glaringly obvious. That's what passes for political courage where he's from.

(20,631 posts)4. Let me detail the list of steps involved in Flake's "stand up" plan:
1. Continue to quietly vote for most of the awful shit the Meat Goblin is pushing through the end of his term.
2. When his term ends, recede into the darkness to take a multi-million $$ lobbying job.
3. Begin lobbying efforts to push through everything the Meat Goblin wants for the following 2 years, or GOD FUCKING HELP US ALL, the next 6 years!!
