1. Traitor

Traitor to everything that is decent and honorable

[olegramps]

50. The entirity of the Republican Party are enemies of the Republic and its constitution.

The party must be totally destroyed without reservation.

[suegeo]

52. And salt the earth behind them

[DownFromTheMountain]

2. I'm not going to let off the hook

The Republican Senators that performed this work. Collins was one of 2 women. Its the men that forced this. The sting we feel from Collins is sharp, though. Just Imagine what it's like with her face forward female staff. But it's the men that did it.

[Demsrule86]

6. She did it too. And it is worse that a woman did it...I will give money and work to defeat this

traitor...I wonder what her price was? Obviously she was paid off in some way.

[DownFromTheMountain]

9. Yes indeed...

I can't get my head around that, she and Murkowski and Manchin had the perjury to get cover from..tastes like , well, bad.

[Lucinda]

13. Collins hubby is said to have deep Russian ties...

If so, she chose their skin over the country. And it wont help. It will all come out in the end...

[calimary]

43. Judas goat.

I think in other circumstances that’s how you’d have to describe her. Betraying women to stand with the bad guys - one in particular. A sellout for certain. Slapping her sisters in the face and stabbing them in the back.

“Oh I trust him. He assured me he wouldn’t up-end Roe v Wade...”

Yeah, suuuuuuuuure. And you’d trust him as an unsuspecting 15-year-old girl with him at some kegger party back then too, correct? And you’d trust his word after he’s lied and misled and misdirected and fudged the truth and weasel-worded while under oath as well?

You gave him the benefit of the doubt even AFTER hearing her testimony. They both can’t be right. Especially when one of the two who gave testimony bellows and obfuscates and denies while the other is calm and clear and certain of what happened to her. And you can’t say it happened the way HE says it did after others who have a different story wanted to come forward with it and were denied, blocked, and silenced.

I too will support the candidate who decides to run against you in 2020.

[vi5]

3. This is so very shocking...

...I mean I've heard and read her called a "moderate Republican" and a "pro-choice Republican" by folks on here even. Could that possibly have never been true? Could she possibly not be one of our "friends across the aisle".

As the old saw goes..."Nobody could have predicted....".

[spooky3]

27. She votes with Trump 74% of the time, per 538. Nt

[Lanius]

53. There is no such thing as a "moderate Republican" in the Congress

While they might gnash teeth over President Baby Hands' deplorable behavior, they still vote with him and their party a majority of the time. They are still Republicans who love tax cuts for the wealthy, cuts to entitlements and empowering capitalists over labor.

[vi5]

54. Exactly...

...yet most of our "plans" over the past 15 years or so seem to have been predicated on wooing these mythical creatures, either in the Senate or the voting booth.

Which explains why we are in the situation we are in.

[CentralMass]

4. She is not worth the bandwidth.

[recovering_democrat]

5. And Liar

According to news reports she told McConnell she was going to vote yes some time back. Played this game for her own attention. She will ultimately get the perfect reaction she deserves.

[yuiyoshida]

7. Knife in the back...to ALL WOMEN.

[Kath2]

23. Yes.

Reminding us YET AGAIN that we are second class citizens.

[yuiyoshida]

32. And worse

if you are a person of color.

[Kath2]

33. Very true.

[Soxfan58]

42. Thats why we support Black female progressive candidates

When ever we can. Where ever we can. I'm a old white guy from Maine who was as giddy as a school girl when I heard Susan Rice could be running for senate.

[Pachamama]

35. Yuiyoshida - as awful as that graphic is, it describes perfectly what I feel has been done to us....

To all women, to all sexual assault survivors (including men) and to anyone who wants to come forward and speak the truth about the crimes and the truth about people like Brett Kavanaugh....

[Goodheart]

8. She lost her 2020 election today.

[LuvNewcastle]

37. She'll probably retire before then.

She looks like hell, and I'm not just saying that because she's a Republican. She looks like the Crypt Keeper wearing a doll's wig.

[BigmanPigman]

10. Fuck You, Senator Benedict Arnold!

[SunSeeker]

11. Collins is a lying sack of shit. nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

12. collins raised over $3 million

Last I saw, Collusion Collins had raised over $3 million dollars for her 2020 opponent.

Maine women should paint the state blue.

[disndat]

45. No doubt

Mostly from the Koch Bros. who live in Kansas where Trump held a victory lap rally. Coincidence??

[Hermit-The-Prog]

46. take another look, please

There is a crowd-source fund to raise money for Collins' opponent in 2020. When she announced she was voting for Kavanaugh, the fund skyrocketed. The typical donation to replace Collins is $20.20.

[defacto7]

14. I think it should say "...never turn their backs to you"

Never turn their backs on you means something completely different.

[IronLionZion]

15. and Joni Ernst, Cindy Hyde-Smith, Deb Fischer, and Shelley Moore Capito

all made a carefully thought out decision to throw women all the way under the bus.

Not one of these 5 women called for throwing out Brett and appointing conservative Amy Coney Barrett instead. They chose to double down on the perverted frat boy their idiot president selected.

[k-dub]

34. Barrett

Is very accomplished, but she is no more different on abortion that Schlitz Kavanaugh. Though I admit her statements and rulings do suggest her faith would have not have lead her judicial application.

[IronLionZion]

41. She's just as conservative without the sexual assault

and would have been the logical choice for these conservative women, yet they deliberately doubled down on the dipshit and threw women under the bus.

[Martin Eden]

16. This is what Susan Collins will be remembered for

To her everlasting shame.

[tavernier]

17. Collins is McConnell in a wig and makeup.

Did you ever really see them together??

[dchill]

21. Now who could take that?

[tavernier]

25. Photoshopped.

Definitely the same person-)) zfggyuu

[SCVDem]

18. Two terms only?

The first lie!

[thegoose]

30. Exactly!

The scary bitch keeps on ticking and ticking. Like 20 plus years?

And if anyone wants to look-shame me for calling her a hag and shut me down, too bad! That old fucking hag is a worthless hag!

Did I say she was a hag??????

[LuvNewcastle]

38. People are going to dress up like her for Halloween this year.

She looks that fucking bad.

[Corgigal]

19. Billboard needs to be put up.

With a picture of her face and underneath

Corrupt.

[2naSalit]

20. A true waste of good air

that should be put to use by endangered species.

[RainCaster]

22. Not to be trusted

[Ilsa]

24. Sen. Collins: We don't believe you. nt

[cff366]

26. Susan Collins is disingenuous, she is a pompous ass, and she is a sack of shit.

Susan Collins is disingenuous, she is a pompous ass, and she is a sack of shit.

[bdjhawk]

28. Her entire speech was nauseating

but when she so reverentially addressed "Mr. President" in her speech , I really wanted to puke!!!!!! Give the idiotic speech but she didn't need to lay it on thick for Tiny Hands. That, to me, said it all. Sucking up to the Rump after she tried to seem so independent. What a phony!!!

[cff366]

29. Agreed.

Susan Collins is disingenuous, she is a pompous ass, and she is a sack of shit.

[libprog]

31. Was she referring to POTUS or Senate President?

I completely agree with you about her speech. It was one of the most dishonest, cynical speeches I have ever heard. I'm not sure Collins truly believes the words herself.

But to be fair, I believe when Senators say "Mr President" in their speeches, it is referring to the President of the Senate and not President of the USA. I believe all Senators are supposed to do this by protocol.

[LibDemAlways]

36. Well, I would not want to be in her shoes now or ever.

Imagine her in an airport or a restaurant or a store or at a sporting event or at the movies -- literally anytime and anywhere she appears in public. On every occasion and in every venue she will be approached by strangers who will collectively make her life a living hell with their own stories of sexual abuse and their "fuck you's." She'll be gawked at, pointed at, shouted at, and reminded constantly that she is the disgraceful corrupt betrayer of women who put an alcoholic would be rapist on the Supreme Court.

I predict she will not run again in 2020. How could she? It would be a humilating defeat. The best she can hope for is that she can find a place to hide and live out her life in seclusion and shame as an object of ridicule and contempt.

[True Blue American]

39. Collins used to love

The admiration she got in Airports. I saw pictures of her last year.

Last week she could not leave her office without an Armed Escort.

Mitch has to have snipers on roof tops when he holds Town Halls in Ky.

That should tell you something.

Sherrod Brown drives his own car from DC. Ran out of gas because he wanted to be in Ohio before he bought some. Wears suits made at a local company a few blocks from his house.

[SWBTATTReg]

40. This should tell them something, that the country doesn't agree w/ their discriminatory ...

policies what-so-ever. The party of NO NO NO has evolved into the party of TAKE TAKE TAKE and give it to billionaires and millionaires, none of whom really needed the tax cuts of 2018. We really didn't need the extra jobs either since most of them being created now are low paying, minimum wage jobs. Who needs these kind of jobs? Perhaps if they put more of a burden on the wealthy to pay their fair share of the federal debt e.g., since they have a significant share of the income and wealth in this country, it should be a one for one basis. It's not, not by far.

And they are not done yet. Just wait. More restrictions on voting rights, more attempts on the ACA repeal, more tax cuts for the wealthy, no more federal parklands, all federal lands will be opened up for mining and drilling (w/ no royalties to the US taxpayer either), destruction of our environment, etc., basically just making a whole mess of things.

Like I said before in prior posts, these people will have no rest anywhere anymore. They don't deserve it.

[usaf-vet]

44. The frustrating thing is you/we can't touch them. She will fade away at some point.....

...rich and impervious to anything the average person can do to make her life miserable.

I have no doubt Kavanaugh will be the final vote to over turn Roe v. Wade BUT will she give a S**t....?!

She is untouchable even voting her out of office will not have any impact on her life.

This is what makes me the most angry. All of the Collins/McConnells/Ryans in the congress are ultimately free of redress. Redress where it really hurts. Privileged class.

[Lanius]

55. The only consolation is people like these will (hopefully) be vilified in the history books

and protested whenever they crawl out of their holes for public speaking engagements, sporting events, etc.

[OnDoutside]

47. She's now accusing Planned Parenthood of "Double Standards" LOL.

here

She pointed to Planned Parenthood’s opposition to Justices Sandra Day O’Connor and Anthony Kennedy, who were nominated by President Ronald Reagan, and Justice David Souter, who was nominated by President George H.W. Bush.

“I would note that Planned Parenthood opposed three pro-choice justices just because they were nominated by Republican presidents: David Souter, Sandra Day O’Connor and Justice Kennedy,” said Ms. Collins. “They said the same thing, women will die. This is just outrageous.”

She damn well knows Kavanaugh is an anti-abortion RWNJ, so she is just trying to spread the shit.

[OnDoutside]

48. Pictures you will never have to view again

:large

[duforsure]

49. She's the one who'll have to live with what she's done

To hurt women, and this country for the rest of her life. She's the one who'll read the stories that'll be coming out from them not fully investigating this criminal and knowing she voted for him, and he may be a gang rapist . She'll have to face the American people for allowing a serial liar , and corporate shill to damage all credibility of the Supreme Court, and the rule of law. History will not be kind , or karma, and karma is a bitch they say. Her and her co-conspirators will be regretting what they did to us all soon enough. This won't end up good for any gop member of Congress.

[Nitram]

51. Actually all women SHOULD turn their back on Senator Collins.

She is dead to us all.

[BigDemVoter]

56. And yet. . . And yet. . . . And YET. . . The Media

STILL insists on calling this Fuck Bucket a MODERATE.. . . What a bunch of horse shit.
