“You know, I’m really tired of the cynicism of the press.”

Not nearly as tired (and horrified) as we are over the destruction of our country, Senator.

“You know, I’m really tired of the cynicism of the press,”

Says the woman who McConnell just lied to about this very thing, in order to get her vote on the tax bill.

Methinks her anger is a bit misplaced.

Hopefully all this dysfunction ramps up and continues till after Christmas. Defeating the Hooray For Me FU Republican Tax bill depends on it.

Asked what she plans to do if the House strips them out, and whether she would vote for the tax bill without knowing the fate of the provisions, Collins appeared irritated.

“You know, I’m really tired of the cynicism of the press.”

And somewhere, the world’s tiniest violin plays the world’s saddest tune for Sen. Weasel J. Sidestep.

So why is it (rhetorical question I know) that the GOP cannot even manage the basic job of keeping the lights on without the help of the democrats they despise?

These people cannot govern, cannot come up with a single idea, or vision or plan or anything. Pathetic.

They literally cannot accomplish the task of paying the bills out of a big pot of other people’s money. The money’s there. All you have to do is write the check. Anyone could do that. Except the GOP. Amazing.

The media applauded Collins when she decided against running for governor and was going to stay and fight instead. Nope. This wasn’t about fighting. She’s sitting out the gubernatorial race because she knows she’ll lose. And she probably won’t run for reelection in 2020 either.

“Waiting for Trump to do something right is not going to happen,” he said.

No truer words have been uttered; Trump is in it for Trump, and no one else. Making America Gasp Again…the only thing that surprises me is the speed with which he is determined to undermine our government and prove himself to unquestionably be the Worst. President. Ever. With the continuing aid and abetting of the GOP majorities in Congress. There’s a lot of shame to go around…

Maine deserves what it votes for…but to be fair, the rest of us shouldn’t have to suffer with them for it.
