Discussion: Murkowski Responds To Trump Admin Threat: I'm 'Strong And Independent'

[Murkowski] may also have responded in another way: The committee she leads announced it was postponing indefinitely a meeting to consider nominees to the Department of Energy and Zinkeā€™s Interior Department. A spokeswoman cited ā€œthe uncertainty of the Senate schedule,ā€ according to NBC News.

Murkowski chairs Energy and Natural Resources and the Appropriations Subcommittee for the Department of Interior. This should make for some interesting oversight hearings.

Zinkle seems confused about his place in government.

These idiots have no idea what they are doing.

Good. Now show your independence by switching from R to I and make McTurtle sad.

Too bad this isnā€™t true of Collins and old mavericky Grampa McCain.

Translation: Zinke [to Murkowski]:

ā€œThatā€™s a nice little State you have there, that Alaskaā€¦
Itā€™d be a shame, a real dirty shame, if anything were to happen to it.ā€

Thanks, I didnā€™t know that. Itā€™s kind of depressing information, given the annual check that Alaska residents get for oil extraction.

Alaska is a welfare state but the inhabitants consider themselves conservative. Makes for entertaining politics, or depressing politics, depending on oneā€™s mood.

She should have added ā€œI am woman, hear me roarā€ because we know how much he loves strong women.

Finally a Republican who is also an American.
Now, if some of the males would become men we might get our country back.

Collins has been true to her word throughout this process (knock wood). But she had one of Mitchā€™s free passes; Murkowski didnā€™t. On Grampa, yeah, weā€™ll see what his final votes look likeā€¦

Sheā€™s now saying she may be on board for the ā€œskinny repealā€. Sheā€™s gutlessā€¦completely gutless. And the worst is that sheā€™ll probably be the next governor of Maine.

Christā€¦ Not completely gutless, since sheā€™s been solid in defense of Medicaid; but plum stupid if she thinks this asinine ā€œplanā€ is even worth considering. Christā€¦

Murkowski: Iā€™m ā€˜Strong And Independentā€™

That is why she just voted AGAINST the bill to repeal ObamaCare while voting FOR it under Obama.

Murray, Stabenow, and Warren must be giving the full-court press to Murkowski, mustnā€™t they? Get King and Sanders in there to explain how uplifting it can be to not associate with the insane clown posse.

Zinke called Murkowski at the behest of Trump. She responds by cancelling committee hearings. Will she continue to vote no on skinny Trumpcare which will hurt Alaskans and the rest of America?
