You clearly don’t know that Senator Feinstein is popular and admired in most of California, most especially in San Francisco where she lives, grew up, was educated, and served on the City board of supervisors and became mayor after the Moscone/Milk murders. Piling on is easy. Knowing the facts is hard. So, in fact, she does her job.

US Sens are Cornyn and Cruz, and my zip code is on a fault-line so my district US rep is Roger Williams. Stateside it’s Kirk Watson in the Senate and Dawnna Dukes in the house. Dukes is awol an awful lot and has ethics issues, but Watson is receptive. Corynyn, Cruz, and Williams put party over country every time. I often write to Lloyd Doggett in district 35 because he continues to respond to me over the years and is very receptive. I write and call others but I get a lot of “Good to hear from you! Call your local.”
Oh, my condolences. Senators don’t get much worse than the C and C tag team, two senators but with one brain between them.

You’d think there would be a lot of fights over who gets to use the brain, but actually it sits home alone most days.

Wow - un-phucking-believable.
Actually, it’s not. What other favors will Vlad call in?
Great find though.
She’s gotta go. I’m quite familiar wth DiFi, thanks.
They have brains.
They have zero integrity, morals, ethics.
Bad combo.

We are in crisis. She is undermining her Dem colleagues. We’ve seen this movie before.
That’s funny.
@timbo Doesn’t sound like you’re at all familiar with Dianne Feinstein. She’s been re-elected every time she’s run for her seat since 1992, and has a record on issues we who vote for her like. I see ageism and sexism albeit subtle in play in any discussion of her.
Explain to me how she is undermining her Democratic colleagues because I haven’t seen the movie and I’ve been watching her for decades and remember when she helped pass legislation regarding banning assault rifles after a deadly office shooting in SF. It was the other party who would not extend the legislation past a determined expiration date. She remains in favor of banning these weapons.
@the_mask Somebody posted this list much earlier today and it’s what gives me reason to believe his downfall will come within the next couple of years, investigations, grand juries and such taking a long time. He has few supporters and a ton of critics.

What the hell is the matter with Susan Collins? I know she is a republican, but she did seem to have an I.Q. that reached double digits.

What is it Limbaugh says — time to grab ankles, conservatives?
Colbert was right.
“duel”?
“colloqually”?
Sen. Susan Collins is running (already) for Maine Governor to take the place in 2 years of one of the GOP’s real “intellectuals” Governor Paul LePage, who may, in turn, run for her seat thereafter. So today she pumps up her Republican bona fides. Thus goes 'round the GOP carousel.

Agreed, and DiFi of course sounds uncomfortable with the whole thing.
Time to force feed the GOP their own poisonous medicine.

An article (by Jeff Greenfield?) in today’s Politico, re. substantive differences between Nixon’s and Trump’s situations, indicates that Trump does not (at present) have the political liabilitys that Watergate Nixon bore. The article also states that virtually the entire media during Watergate were anti-WH, unlike Trump’s water-carriers. The implication is that Trump is (presently) far from impeachment.

That’s why the Trump White House has not scheduled a beerfest with Senate Republicans. The House bill was their celebration.

Frankly, I don’t know how the bulk of posters here handle this. I’m an Olde guy and I know many patriots who died in wars while believing they were protecting their country and the Constitution. Now we have a pResidunce who defiles it. I am beyond disgust.
The pResidunce, at a minimum, has now performed Obstruction. He is a criminal who has also benefited from an attack on our nation. And someone like Mitch McConnell helps him stonewall. Traitors. TRAITORS.

Remember the multiple times during ACA negotiations that Collins wanted certain provisions in the draft bill, which her committee included; and then she subsequently voted against her committee’s recommendations. She was one of the GOP’s “moderate” senators with whom President Obama hoped would compromise to deliver a bi-partisan healthcare law.
Collins, despite her “moderate” reputation and representing blueish Maine, hews to GOP positions pretty consistently.
