'She said her party cares just as much about addressing sexual harassment and assault as Democrats '…oh yeah we can SEE that Susie…
Or she is right where she wants to be on that spectrum and it is the press that is falling into this error by insisting she is a centrist, because she occasionaly breaks from the far right fascists that make up the Republican mainstream.
Here’s what I don’t get: what business does a freaking secessionist have swearing an oath to the Constitution? How is that, notwithstanding the avalanche of other blaringly obvious reasons good people should be repulsed by this asshole, not disqualification enough?
Remember Democrat George Mitchell endorsing Republican Suzie Collins to win his seat as he was retiring? And Democrats wonder why they can’t win the Senate and the House.
Thank you George Mitchell for Suzie Collins and all her blind party votes for Bush and his trumped invasions and wars. Thank you George Mitchell for wind bag Suzie Collins throwing empty words to her base in Maine while voting for tax cuts that will flat out decimate them economically.
Our Democracy is so screwed when a state like Maine keeps electing a total air head and wind bag like Suzie Collins to represent them in DC.
Wow he’s stupid. If you believe her “deal” wasn’t imaginary from the get-go and that she wasn’t just fabricating cover for giving head to the plutocrat donors she’s courting for her gubernatorial run, then you have brain damage. Kabuki Theater. Fake deal. Never really existed. She knows that, but she made a show of it for cover with her constituents and will now make a show of how upsetting it is that she’s being “betrayed.”
She’s not different than the others and she has figured out that this is the way, at least for Maine, that the “I’m not raping you, I’m not raping you, I’m not raping you…” game works.
There are fifty other senators as bad or worse, it seems.
I hope the folks in Maine aren’t fooled she did all that for show…so when the things she claims she doesn’t want to happen actually happen she can go well it wasn’t my fault
To be fair, all their women friends are Republicans, most have been divorced at least once, and half are named Jolene.
The sad thing about dems is they think the GOP can be reasoned with. Obama did it and the dems are still doing it. The dems need to be willing to take whatever hostages they can to get what they want
From my brief time living in Alabama, i have no problem believing this sort of BS. And slugs are snails without their shells. And minnows grow into catfish if thrown in a lake. And they’re not racist if they hire black people to do menial jobs. Not making that up. The American South is an entirely different culture where the rules of the modern world do not apply.
I am so f’ing sick of Susan f"ing Collins I could f’ing scream.
40 years ago was 1977, not 1947. It was the era of disco, not swing bands.
It won’t be Strange, it’ll be someone else. Strange, having lost the primary, has already said he doesn’t want reappointment.
But other than the Strange appointment, yes, that’s the GOP plan.
Edited to Add:
Also, the dismissal would probably have to be in the form of impeachment.
She said her party cares just as much about addressing sexual harassment and assault as Democrats…
Which is why it’s senatorial candidate in Alabama is a kid fucker.
I bet she’ll start whining, “They lied to me!”
Yeah, and her statements on Moore are a day late and a dollar short. As are Tim Scott’s and Richard Shelby’s.
Mine as well start calling Susan Collins Charlie Brown
Well they have to keep the charade going for the media that they don’t like Roy Moore
The Senate has broad authority here. Being thrown off the state supreme court twice could qualify as grounds for expulsion, for example.
It won’t go down this path because of policy and political issues.
Shut up, Susan
