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”
How dumb can someone be. The guy knows for fucking off on every single deal possible fucked off on a deal. Big shocker!
