      How dumb can someone be.

      Susan Collins has been playing this game for over 20 years. “I voted for X but I didn’t think that would mean Y?!” is this endless call and response we get from “moderate” Republican Senators to explain why they supported horrifying reactionary shit.

      The real suckers are the voters who keep putting people like this in office. But, more broadly, its the residents who keep selling the best years of their life away in the brutal freezing wilderness so that they can suck the last bit of our natural reserve away to burn up in some rich snob’s SUV. The state is full of people who believe the best they can do for themselves is to spend their most productive 40 years self-immolating.

      This is almost certainly more theater from her. She knew she gave up most of her leverage the second she voted for the bill, but wants to pretend to be “moderate”

      All part of the kabuki theatre we call US congress.

      If you study even just the past few admins, you’ll find that when Repugs pass their deplorable bills, it’s always by a razor thin margin. The ones who vote no are in the most vulnerable purple districts amongst their party. This is by design to give them plausible deniability and a chance at reelection.

    That bitch knew what was going on, she’s just trying to save face because now they’re worried about the next election and people forget easily.

    She was so completely pathetic that she had to vote for it, despite literally one vote being enough to stop the bill.

      She didn’t vote to support Trump. She’s angling for a cushy Big Oil lobbyist position after her term ends. The bill as-written is quite favorable to the oil industry.

    She never cared. Hell I wouldn’t be shocked if she was the one who had them removed. She just wanted some form of cover. She was always for this.

      I don’t understand why more people don’t talk about that book more.

      It’s literally him bragging about grifting people to build Casinos that failed shortly after and caused him to lose more money than any American over that period.

      It’s his recipe for making sure nobody wins.

    She knows how this all works, don’t give any rep the benefit of “ignorance”. This is just deflection.

    Somebody more important caught his rotting attention span so she got left in the dust. Even just understanding she was cheated makes her way smarter than his voters.

    I feel terrible for this haggard shitheel who was duped by the man everyone knows is a backstabbing liar. Oh wait, no I don’t.
