Susan Collins 'Sad' Voters Might Punish HER For Impending Loss Of Reproductive Rights, How Rude!

Perhaps the most telling portion of the entire article, however, was the point at which Senator Collins lamented that she probably lost some votes when she cast her vote to put Brett Fucking Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court.

"Have I lost some votes because of my decision to support Justice Kavanaugh? Yes, I have. And I'm sad about that because I explained in great depth my decision-making," Collins said. But "there still is an appreciation in Maine for someone who looks at the facts of an issue, votes with integrity and independence."
Aw! What's got into ya, Suzy Creamcheese? Are you sad? Sad that you are going to lose some votes here? Well we are sad too. We are sad that, thanks to your vote, we now have yet another accused sexual predator on the Supreme Court. We are sad that, thanks to what you call your "integrity and independence," Roe v. Wade is likely to be overturned. Reproductive rights, after all, are somewhat integral to our "integrity and independence."

Collins is also sad that we bloodsuckers do not think she does enough to stand up to Donald Trump, mostly because she doesn't do enough to stand up for Trump, like when she voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court:

"It's never enough. Never. For those who truly hate the president, I'm never going to be able to do enough for them," Collins said between bites of banh mi, which she frugally tucks into a to-go container before hurrying to a paper mill reopening. "I get tired of the 'she speaks but doesn't act.'"
Oh, the poor dear. She sounds a little bitter. YOU KNOW WHO ELSE IS BITTER, SUSAN?

She cannot rationalise her way out of this level of betrayal, she is not a feminist, she bowed to the pressure to allow true haters of women to do what they do best.

Look up:

It is in between "Accoucheur" and "Accountancy".

They were hard votes. We know.

YOU were played.

Sure, she could have taken the easy way out and voted against confirming Justice Boof, but she wanted to be independent and have her integrity. Why can't you people appreciate Susan's independence and integrity? Yeah, some of you are going to die because Justice Boof will deprive you of your right to bodily autonomy, but is that such a large price to pay? So many of you are going to be thinking about dying prematurely, and how will your family carry on after you're gone, but how many of you are going to go to your eternal reward thinking about Susan Collins' independence and integrity? Is that all the thanks she gets?

Now you've made Susan sad. I hope you're happy.

Performing contortions to climb deep into Kavanaugh's ass?

Sorry, Susan. Your "great depth" was long-winded bullshit that didn't objectively account for FACTS.

Maine needs to kick you out on your sad, sorry face.

4 years younger than Warren.

Only way she is retiring is via an electoral defeat, which cannot come soon enough.

Just from the headline!

If anybody here doesn’t read Wonkette daily, may I heartily recommend it? Funny (very!) and also extremely smart, detailed, and well researched analysis. I literally could not think more highly of it.
