And Susan Collins is at it again and again and again...............



Susan Collins is once again mildly disappointed by Trump's outrageous lies

By Josh Israel -September 11, 2020 4:33 PM
'His handling of the coronavirus crisis has been extremely uneven.'

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) mildly criticized Donald Trump on Thursday for deliberately misleading the nation about the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Friday evening, Collins will face off against her general election opponent, Democratic state House Speaker Sara Gideon, in their first debate. Analysts have called the Maine Senate race a "toss-up" that could be key to deciding which party controls the Senate come January.

On Thursday, Collins told Maine Public Radio that she disagreed with some of Donald Trump's handling of the pandemic. "His handling of the coronavirus crisis has been extremely uneven," she said, repeating her April assessment.

Asked about Trump's admitted efforts to deceive the American people about the severity of the virus, Collins answered: "I believe you have to be straight with the American people and tell them exactly how high the stakes are."

“Analysts have called the race a toss up”. Really ? When was Collins ahead in the polls ? Every poll I’ve seen has Gideon ahead.

Exclusive: Susan Collins' plight gets worse with new corruption allegation, possible ethics probe
Ethics watchdog accuses Maine senator of "blatant corruption" after GOP tax bill sweetened husband's investments
The American Democracy Legal Fund (ADLF) sent a letter Wednesday to the U.S. Senate Ethics Committee asking to open an investigation into allegations that Sen. Susan Collins of Maine — a Republican who faces a tight re-election battle this fall — used her office to financially benefit her husband and, subsequently, herself.
===================
In 2012, Collins married Thomas Daffron, a longtime adviser who first met her in 1974 when she was an intern in the office of Rep. William Cohen, a Maine Republican who later served 18 years in the Senate. Daffron consulted on Collins' 1996, 2002 and 2008 Senate campaigns and was COO for a company called Jefferson Consulting from 2006 to 2016.

The complaint alleges that Daffron received $54.95 million in government contracts and $3.5 million in lobbying revenue during his years at Jefferson Consulting, or approximately $58.4 million combined. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Collins exercised oversight over agencies that granted Jefferson Consulting $10 million in government contracts in that time, according to the complaint.

While Collins served on the Appropriations subcommittees on defense and on military construction and veterans affairs, as well as on the Homeland Security contracting oversight subcommittee and the Senate Special Committee on Aging, her husband's company made $6 million from the Department of Veterans Affairs, $850,000 from Washington Headquarters Services, $370,000 from the Pension Benefit Guaranty and $300,000 from the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Procurement Operations.

even bother with the "conern" horseshit; she'd just greenlight ANY wing nut he wanted to put on the SCOTUS. After all, she has already done it. . . . She can take that concern and disappointment and shove it up her bony ass.

She's a lousy actor. She has no more of a moral compass than any of the other goons in her trashy party. Jeez, media people. Just leave her alone and let her slither off to the swamp with the rest of the creeps.

Are extremely low key. An acquaintance called to see how we were after hearing news of multiple tornados and severe storms for several days in eastern Kentucky. He said "I heard you folks had a bit of wind down there."

Collins is like this and it likely does play well in Maine. My upbringing included being more reserved than most as well. My father would be absolutely appalled at half of what I type these days ... not to mention wearing pants and gym shoes out in public.

I'd call her a weasel, but I have far too much respect for the Mustelidae family. I wish she would lose the pearls, clutch her own throat, and choke herself--save us the trouble of voting her filthy worthless arse out.
