  1. Can we stop pretending like Republicans aren’t all shameless fucking liars and give zero fucks about it?

  2. She would if she had a shred of integrity. But she’s shown many times she doesn’t.

  3. Obligatory I still can’t believe she won Maine after what Trump did in 2020

  5. This is a short article and worth a read.

    It STARTS with Collins using that “Bragg campaigned on prosecuting Trump” bit, but then it goes into the tortured logic of twisting Braggs words to mean that.

  6. She might admit that she is troubled by her comments.

  8. Susan Collins has been in the bag for Trump for years. Pretending that he would “learn his lesson” to lying about his felony convictions. She’s a faux-moderate MAGAt. The people of Maine need to kick her to the curb in her next election!

  9. Note that McCain almost chose Susan Collins as his “we need a woman VP” over Palin.

    If he had, the Republicans would be even better at covering up their racism and lies.

  10. In any case, anyone who takes her apology seriously is a fool. Before moderates will believe her, how many times does she have to half-believe this? She will act centrist until something as insignificant as that occurs, at which point she will vehemently embrace the right.

  13. What is it? What makes someone one minute sound so completely sane, coherent and legit and a couple years later recant everything they’ve said about someone? Is it money or is it really a dangerous Kult? Are they all so transactional the only look at how something will be a positive or a negative for themselves? Whether its collins, cruz or rubio.

    In a video clip from 2016 , Rubio called Trump a “con artist,” telling the crowd, “He runs on this idea that he is fighting for the little guy. But he has spent his entire career, sticking it to the little guy…If you all have friends who are thinking about voting for Donald Trump, friends do not let friends vote for con artists.”

    Now he’s his water boy? I just don’t get it.

  14. I still remember this bullshit.

    >Republican majority leader and physician Bill Frist opposed the removal of her feeding tube and in a speech delivered on the Senate floor, challenged the diagnosis of Schiavo’s physicians of Schiavo being in a persistent vegetative state (PVS): “I question it based on a review of the video footage which I spent an hour or so looking at last night in my office.”[66] After her death, the autopsy showed signs of long-term and irreversible damage to her brain consistent with PVS.[67] Frist defended his actions after the autopsy.

    For those who do not know who Bill Frist is.

    >William Harrison Frist (born February 22, 1952) is an American physician, businessman, conservationist and policymaker who served as a United States Senator from Tennessee from 1995 to 2007. A member of the Republican Party, he also served as Senate Majority Leader from 2003 to 2007. Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Frist studied government and health care policy at Princeton University and earned a Doctor of Medicine degree from Harvard Medical School. He trained as a cardiothoracic transplant surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital and Stanford University School of Medicine, and later founded the Vanderbilt Transplant Center.

    A doctor who went to the top schools in the world. Worked at the top hospitals in the world.

    Diag’d a lady based off some video he saw to pass a law to protect her.
    He was full of shit and knew it.

    Most politicians are full of shit and massive egotistical assholes. They lie to themselves every day to keep power. They lie to you because you believe it.

  16. She needs to retire and saves us all from another diaper wearing senile politician refusing to know when to quit

  18. Add Collins to the list of Republicans spewing Russian propaganda. No one in my household is shocked. She has been 100% “team Trump” since before she voted to save his sorry ass by claiming “he had learned his lesson and wouldn’t do it again.” Fuck her and not in the good way.

  20. Even if he did run on convicting Donald Trump what is wrong with promising to convict a criminal?

  24. My MAGA uncle from Maine loves her. He can pretend to support his gay brother by voting for her but also gets to be an asshole at the same time.

  26. lol like Quivering Sue’s opinion would be any use now. She’s old, late and stale.

  27. I moved my family to Maine. I love it here, and one of our most sincere pleasures will be to cast our votes against this woman next time around.

  28. She pretends to not hate goose-stepping with the rest of her ilk, but she’s never late and never misses a step.

  29. Which lie are we talking about now? I’ve lost count.

  32. Jesus, Maine why do you keep reelecting this woman?!

  34. Some guy getting interviewed on NPR the other day described her as moderate. lol.

  35. If you were to throw a bucket of water on Collins, I bet she melts.

  36. I hate this lady. Sick of hearing bullshit through her wobbly faint voice
