Originally published at: Senate Republican Acknowledges That This Might All Be Very Illegal - TPM – Talking Points Memo
While she has done little more than state facts, Sen. Susan Collins’ (R-ME) is emerging as the only Republican member of Congress currently willing to call out the fact that Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s lawless DOGE crusade is stripping Republicans in the House and Senate of one of the main powers they possess as…

The second election of that man to the White House has already proved to be an utter disaster. Some one needs to stand up to his lawlessness and criminality. I have a funny feeling it ain’t gonna be Senator Collins.

The only thing Collins is concerned about are her prospects for re-election. Her votes against are always carefully calibrated to be meaningless.

Nobody on either side of the aisle has any respect left for her. Nobody.

Susie apparently does the best impression of someone who truly gives a shit that’s ever been done on the planet. This whole country falls for it over and over and over and over again. She’s a better fake than Lucy with the football.
On a related note, I keep revising my view of exactly what Trump and Co. really want to destroy., as I read TPM’s suggested articles about what’s slated for gutting each day. First I thought it was the Obama and BIden eras, then the Great Society, then the New Deal, then the Civil War…Now I think it’s the Enlightenment they’re actually gunning for. And I get why Trump would hate that, but how does a guy who apparently aspires seriously to rocket himself and others to a planned community on Mars simultaneously aim to destroy all of science?

The failure of the government to provide necessary and legally required services, such as audits by the USDA and the FDA and other regulatory agencies, which are required for export and import, is going to lead to massive disruption in the global supply chain. We are just a few months away from a Great depression caused by sabotage of the economy.
I’m glad that Susan Collins is concerned.
Kafka is not concerned.

I came here to say exactly that. She’s a real piece of work, that one.

Does the Senate have an on-staff psychiatrist? (It certainly should, given the number of crazies who are part of that not-so-august body.). If so, Susan Collins should certainly seek some counseling so she can do something about all that anxiety she feels about the law-breaking going on around her. It’s absolutely paralyzing. Not quite as paralyzing as polio once vaccines are gone, but paralyzing nonetheless.

I hope there is a special circle of hell for Susan Collins. It’s one thing to see someone that honestly disagrees with you for whatever reason, but her career of calculating mendacity is beyond disgusting. Whenever we are stabbed in the back, it is the ever concerned hands of Susan Collins that is holding the knife.

Maybe he plans to privatize it?
ETA: Like the Jack Horner character from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. “I just want all the magic, only for me.”

Time to put the profilometer to the furrows in Susie’s brow. They will soon be ready for potato planting season.
