WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)In an announcement that many saw coming, Senator Jeff Flake, of Arizona, announced on Friday that he would retire from humanity, effective immediately.
Speaking to reporters at the Capitol, Flake said that the demands of being a human being had taken their toll, and that it was time to move on.
Having empathy and compassion for other human beings has been a thoroughly draining experience, he said. I for one am ready for something new.
Flake said that, before making his decision, he consulted with others who had retired from humanity years earlier, such as Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, and Donald Trump.
They all fully supported my decision, he said. Its great to be one of them now.

he is just another member of the "plow it through" on a partisan basis. I will donate to Sinema's campaign to put a Democrat in the Senate.

When spineless Jeff Flake turned his back on them and supported Brett Kavanaugh if he ever runs for another office in Arizona.
Women in this country must vote out all Republicans in office who support the Brett Kavanaughs in this country. Period!
