FUCK SUSAN COLLINS.
Her rationalizations are bullshit. She's on a tightrope. She's trying to figure how to hold onto her seat in the Senate. She doesn't give a rat's ass about Kavanaugh, Ford, Trump, or plain human decency. She just want's to keep her job and her attitude is fuck anything that stands in the way of that.
Who wants someone like that representing them? Evidently, the people of Maine have bought her bullshit for years. Some even agree with it. But now, she's gone a bridge too far. She's helped to (temporarily) destroy the Supreme Court of America.
So I hope some decent person runs against her and the people of Maine kick her out of office and then go on to shun her.
In case I haven't made myself clear. FUCK SUSAN COLLINS.

(13,877 posts)unfortunately for her, she's attracted national PAC money for Democrats...if they can keep from watering down their individual egos/votes by letting the best candidate represent them. Not always an easy task.

(15,043 posts)We don't need some "phony" face of decency pretending to represent "the common people."
She's a horrible human being hiding behind a facade of "caring about the human condition."
She has shown us what she is time and again. How much more do Maine voters need to be fucked before they "get it?"

(15,043 posts)They have an agenda that, for years, they've trying to saddle America with. Most of it, has to do with the destruction of democracy and the rule of the very wealthy (American Oligarchs).
Trump was a crazy electoral disaster who is, basically, an idiot, who will sign whatever piece of fascist shit they put in front of him.
Right now, elected Republicans, their "think tanks" and their propaganda mills are all very "happy campers". They're getting what they've been fighting for. And, in the process, they're destroying the country that most of us believe we live in.
Understand this. The Republican Party is a criminal enterprise that has no interest in what we cal "democracy.
They are our enemies.

(58,785 posts)let her know how much her legacy is appreciated. Or DC, wherever she settles.
I don't for a moment buy the notion that she just failed out of weakness, was fooled or lied to, though. (What an insult to her!) It's long been obvious that she sold out to be allowed to remain in the senate long ago, that she's the last moderate conservative Republic in the senate mostly a pose for campaign time.
