Susan Collins

I'm going to wait for the final vote, but if it goes like we expect I'll join right in OP

Not another pussy stink thread....geez.

She likes to pretend she is a real renegade but in the end still the same as the rest of them.

She's back to being "undecided". She's not joining Murkowski and Manchin in the agreement to vote no if there is no new F.B.I. background check on Kavanaugh. That doesn't sound undecided to me. She's just going to play this fucked up game until the actual floor vote a week from now. When she votes to confirm. Pressure should be brought to bear on Heitkamp to get her to go on the record too. Tester and Donnelly are voting no. Christ, all of them are cunts.

I think she's worse than the other Repubs in a way. She just likes to hem and haw and make it seem like she is so moderate and bipartisan, but she ends up voting with the Republicans most of the time anyway.

Ugly woman with dusty unfucked cunt. Getting richer on cynicism, protecting that old Maine money. CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT whose own family will NEVER suffer the miseries she and her party have in store for the average American. CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT

She's a maverick*!

She's a pawn. Thinks she can run with the big boys but they laugh at her behind her back.

Her pinched, adenoidal, dithering granny voice drives me up the goddamn wall.

She's taking a page out of John McCain and Rand Paul playbook of pretending to be a maverick for attention then voting the party line when the voting takes place.

She's a republican. What were you guys expecting?

DON'T BELIEVE A SINGLE FUCKING WORD THAT COMES OUT OF THAT CUNT'S MOUTH.

EVER.

She was never a swing vote. That's why she's been slinking around the back hallways in the underbelly of the Senate building avoiding everyone. She's a proven cowardly cunt.

It's when she makes the rounds on the Sunday morning news cycle voicing that she has very serious 'concerns' about an issue... (said in that doddering voice of hers) only to vote the party line.

Every. Single. Time.

Wait and see how the vote order proceeds. The fun (and I mean *OMG THIS IS HILARIOUS*) part will be who: 1. waits until the last 5 minutes to vote 2. waits until the last minute to vote 3. if anyone changes their vote

The house typically uses machine voting. The Senate is more traditional and in matters like this may use a roll call vote. If so, individual members may defer their vote with pass. It will not surprise me if Jeff Flake votes "present".

I knew it.

String this cunt up from the nearest tree.

Thank you Susan!!!

I eat shit

Here she is talking to McConnell who is telling her what will happen if she votes No.

You sort of have to love the irony of her Twitter photo being her surrounded by a bunch of teen girls whose future she is likely ruining.

I will be making a donation to her Democratic opponent in 2020.

[quote] Thank you Susan!!!

[quote] —I believe in DUE PROCESS

R17 what the fuck do you not understand about this not being a trial? Plenty of judges have not been confirmed by the Senate for the position they were appointed to by the President and not a single one of them because of being convicted of any crime.

If you want to be an ignorant cunt then be one but I won't be seeing any more of it.

At least she’s pretty.

Bitch please r22 - you convicted him by accusation. Even here on DL you all were calling him a gang rapist - based in zero evidence. All to hope he would step Down from the nomination.

He didn't. And even better he gave you a big ol' "fuck you" during his hearing.

I'll be voting against anyone who dared to take these bogus uncredible accusations seriously. It's sad- the Democratic Party use to be awesome, now it just plain sucks and is full of unhinged extremists. Many of whom are here on DL - getting paid per post most likely.

You can usually tell who they are - they like to add little posts about how they just "donated" etc.. suuuuure they did. They did the same with Hillary.

Oh, really?

When is Susan's term up?

R24, I concur.

Trolls are all over the place and cross posting the same talking points tonight. Block them!

It was a given Collins was going to vote yes. I did not hold out any delusions.

Please DL-ers, start blocking Repub trolls like OP who come to gloat.

They have no power if you ignore them. None.

R25- He's got a point here----

"False accusations of rape do happen, but they are rare. Rarer than being struck by lightning -- in your house. If you're not lying awake at night worrying that lightning will come through your window and electrocute you, you shouldn't worry about being falsely accused of rape."

R24 Ignoring the multiple sexual assault allegations and multiple lies while under oath, you believe this belligerent dude-bro has the right temperament to be a Supreme Court Justice?

I wouldn’t hire this boob to manage a Wendys given his interview. If I was interviewing for a job and was asked about my drinking and replied by asking the interviewer about his or her drinking instead of answering the question, I wouldn’t get that job.

She'd be stopped at the gates of Michfest.

Don't forget the rest of the Republicans who say they'll vote for him. She's just one of the assholes who try to play both sides and use their faux "maverickness" as a bargaining chip to get votes and concessions.

From a rando on Facebook:

"Susan Collins is the person who spends 20 minutes keeping everyone waiting in the restaurant while she decides what to order and then finally orders the same thing she always gets."

I hope someone leaks whatever dirt they have on her. Her husband has connections to Russian money but I wouldn't be surprised to find out he has some sexual harassment skeletons in his closet. She's always surrounding herself with women in the Twitter photos and such, kind of like how Rapey Brett creepily trotted out all those girls and women.

She's a man, Baby!

She looks like an old dyke and I know her pussy stinks.

I get you don’t like her but she is a human being. She’s someone’s mother, daughter, sister and/or beloved aunt. Cunt is such a vile word, please refer to her as an asshole.

Well, with her vote, she's about to fuck someone else's mother, sister, beloved aunt, gay brother or son, etc. I don't give a fuck about this cunt.

Only refer to her as Republicunt.

R17 and R24 you are heroes in a world of craziness

[quote]Bitch please [R22] - you convicted him by accusation. Even here on DL you all were calling him a gang rapist - based in zero evidence. All to hope he would step Down from the nomination.

Nobody is 'convicting' him of anything. He proved he is unfit to serve on the SC. Thousands of law professors, his professional org, and a former uber-conservative justice agree.

You believe Ford or you believe Kavanaugh. They can't both be telling the truth.

I agree with R36. There has to be more there about her husband's Russian ties, or a debt being paid off, just like there is with Trump (money laundering via Deutschbank) and Kavanaugh (paying off his huge credit card debt, baseball ticket debt, and home improvement debts.) Look at the LincolnsBible twitter for all the Kavanaugh details.

So mainly what she's done is made herself a focus of Democratic rage. So has Flake.

People like her and Lindsey Graham are little more than collateral damage in the big shitshow that is Trump's presidency. As of now, they will be the target of any left leaning investigative journalist and all these GOP apparatchiks have something they can be blackmailed with, because that's how Republicans operate: the only way they can get unwavering commitment from one of these hacks is by having some dirt on them or a member of their family.

Two million raised TODAY for her opponent

Go to her facebook wall and call her a cunt! Tons of repig ass kissers there!

Does anyone know how the crowdfunding money would be transferred to her opponent? It doesn't seem like election law would allow that.

She’s an important Swing Cunt.

Swing low, swing cunt —

2020 comin' for to carry you HOME.

[quote]She’s someone’s mother, daughter, sister and/or beloved aunt. Cunt is such a vile word

Shakes

Cunny Shakes of Maine

the website CRASHED

I think she's tremendous!

I think she's disgusting

In 1996 Susan Collins promised to serve two terms in the U.S. Senate and then come home. Twelve years later 2008 she broke her promise to Maine voters by seeking a third term. She broke it again in 2014 when she ran for a fourth term. If she runs again in 2020 she will have broken her promise three times.

Feels so good to block R17, R22 and R42.

Susan Collins had no problem believing and calling for the resignation of Sen. Al Franken without a conviction, or even an investigation.

Apparently she only believes in innocent until proven guilty for Republicans.

"...please refer to her as an assholr."

R39, I like your humanity!

Oh well.

[quote] Bitch please [[R22]] - you convicted him by accusation. Even here on DL you all were calling him a gang rapist - based in zero evidence. All to hope he would step Down from the nomination.

I am only seeing your post because someone else quoted it, but I feel compelled to reply.

First of all I didn't convict him, I never called him a gang rapist, (LIE MUCH) he hasn't went to trial, and I haven't made up my mind about the sexual molestation accusations because I didn't need to. Kavanaugh proved himself unfit for the Supreme Court when he lied under oath about receiving stolen Democrat papers while he worked in the Bush White House. He proved himself unfit for the Supreme Court when he wrote that no sitting US President should ever be charged with any crime, or even be investigated for any crime. He proved he is unfit when he started quoting conspiracy theories about the Clintons and turned to the Democrats at his hearing and said "What goes around, comes around". Demonstrating he would not be impartial involving any case he hears in the future involving Democrats.

The man is unfit for the Supreme Court, conservatives could have nominated any conservative justice like they did with Neil Gorsuch who went to the same Georgetown Prep as Kavanaugh without the drinking problems, without this baggage but they wanted someone who will rule in favor of Trump if he is indicted.

[quote]Even here on DL you all were calling him a gang rapist - based in zero evidence. All to hope he would step Down from the nomination.

Even if there was ZERO evidence of said rape or sexual assault, he showed everyone his true intentions: to be an agent of Trump, ready to do anything he asks. The comments about "revenge" on behalf of the Clintons should have caused any competent senator to completely disqualify him for the court. That comment is unacceptable coming from a prospective justice.

[quote] Feels so good to block [R17], [R22] and [R42].

I think you meant, R24.

R22 is good.

R64, he's a nasty cur. Even Stevens said so.

Can't believe that witch is still in her 60s, I thought she was well into her 70s. She sounds like she's 90!

What's with the shaking? Does she have Parkinson's.

R24 is doing what I've seen trolls do for months now -- accuse everyone else of being a bot or a troll, thinking it throws people off the scent.

The High Cuntress...

She has out-cunted Susan Sarandon.

She's a cunt, and a lying cunt as well. I hope she has anal cancer that meets throat cancer.

I think that Susan Collins actually thought that long meandering speech was her "You need to run for President Susan" moment.

She is reading that this is the election cycle of the woman. She thought this speech was going to get her praise for pouring oil on troubled water and bringing the country together again. It was pathetic.

I’m way prettier and now much more ethical.

#SuperSenateCunt

Wasn't she formerly known as Sean Collins ?

She ends up being the female version of Lindsay Graham. gave people like me hope that there were republicans who had a conscience.... and then showed their true colors. I would love it if Jeff Flake switched to the being a democrat and got re elected as such. Just a pipe dream, but I cannot help imagining it. so much evil in the north, the south, the east and the west of this goddamn country.

she was acting like this was her moment with that speech. When she is just a pawn. These conservative trump supporting white women are the worst. I tweeted her Cee U Next Time!

If she really though that I guess she’s as dumb as she pretends to be r71

Despite his theatrics and moral agonizing, Flake hasn't voted outside party lines. Fuck him.

R71, I know Collins and you could not be more wrong. In every respect.

[quote]You can usually tell who they are - they like to add little posts about how they just "donated" etc.. suuuuure they did. They did the same with Hillary.

Back at you, turncoat. Don’t go looking for help when they come knocking at YOUR door.

[quote]When is Susan's term up?

Not sure..but I think it’ll be her last. Women in her district are Facebook pissed.

Her little speech is proof that she's stupid and senile. There wasn't enough "evidence" to "prove" he committed sexual assault. Does she not understand this isn't a criminal trial? And then she builds her little shit speech upon that fundamental misunderstanding. How stupid are the people in Maine? Vote her ass out!

The Mainers I know hate her

She and Flake the Fake are both lying cunts.

As far as Flake goes, he's only protecting his big money pay off as a conservative lobbyist. We need to make it illegal to become a paid advocate or lobbyist or have any employment in the private sector after any position in the goverment that has come to vote during their term(s). Flake can go fuck himself!

arizona has never had a good senator

Collins was probably promised a lucrative lobbyist job when she leaves office. She knows she will probably voted out of office when she comes up for re election. Same for Flake.

I had a sinking feeling when Flake announced that there needed to be an FBI investigation it was a ploy to conduct a minimal farcical investigation as cover to show that a cursory look was done into the allegation and come back saying there was no corroborating evidence. Everybody who voted yes had that intention from the get go. Round up the usual suspects.

Two word: OLD BATALACK!

So basically, woman fucked themselves by voting in Trump then fucked themselves again by voting in Kavanaugh. So don't come crying to us when your daughters die from back alley abortions or you got raped wearing a sexy dress. I guess from now on I will agree with the way you voted, all woman are gold digging liers who cant be trusted even after taking a polygraph test. If they claim raped they probably deserved it for being drunken whores who probably wanted it anyway. Well at leas that's settled.

Anyone who thinks that ANY major politician cares about them is so naive. Any politician with more power than the mayor of a small town cares about one thing and one thing only: himself. Politicians are the greediest, most disgusting and corrupt people in our country. Lawyers and most cops are close behind.

Trolls = blocked.

Aside from the allegations, baby Brett is unfit for a position on the SC.

R78, Susan, go fuck yourself.

R27

The country is in a really sad state right now - and the manufactured hysteria with the Democratic Party (not to mention here on DL) has really angered many moderates. I'm one of them. Anyone with half a brain cell knows that this entire "show trial" was nothing but a farce. Except Trump called their bluff and didn't have Brett K drop out.

Most of the extreme posters here are paid trolls. I firmly believe that - except they aren't Russia trolls, they are extreme leftist trolls that make 15 dollars an hour to stir shit. The rest of the posters are just a product of their brainwashing. Probably basement dwellers that have nothing else to do all day but feed into all of this nonsense. I think way too many people spend too much time on social media and are immersed in this alternate reality where it's perfectly acceptable to convict a man based on no evidence because they don't want him on the court. And to anyone that screams "this wasn't a trial" YES it was. It wasn't one in the traditional sense - but it was a public lynching.

Ford wasn't credible, she never was. Funny everyone mocked trumps comments about ford - but he was only saying what most people were thinking.

R27, I've been called a troll here many times before since the 2016 election. I've actually been on DL for 13 years - since the red dragon cheese days. I've never had an issue here - until the most recent presidential election. Only because I no longer march in blind lockstep with the Democratic Party. The party has gotten way to extreme for my tastes. But worse - They've really lost their minds!

This time 2 years ago, I warned DL that PA was looking strange. I was banned from posting on the site "Lined out" posts etc. called a concerned toll/Russia/blocked etc - but I was right - Trump won PA. I feel like posters here are living in an alternate universe lately. They don't see what's going on in the real World. They don't realize just how unhinged they've become - and most importantly they are not self aware. They don't realize how this behavior is turning people off. It's turning people away.

Like I predicted Trump and PA I also predict that because of all of this manufactured hysteria with Brett K - there will be a red wave in the midterms - bigger than is expected.

Once again the democrats have royally screwed themselves over. But in this case - they deserve what they get. I'm disgusted that a party I once was a proud member of has stooped to these levels

And now they are doing what they do best - calling Susan Collins a "cunt" because she didn't do what they wanted her to do. Newsflash - she's a republican, who was basically blackmailed during this process. Blackmailed by the democrats and PAC funding. Yet - she stood firm, and voted the way her and her constituents wanted her to vote - democratic blackmailing be damned! She's the real hero here - regardless if you agree with her or not. She also hates Soros, so I'm sure that tipped her decision.

Despite the blackmail attempts by the democrats - she gave this new party of extreme dysfunction and manufactured outrage a big old FUCK YOU!

Cheers to her!

[quote] As far as Flake goes, he's only protecting his big money pay off as a conservative lobbyist.

And if we get control, all doors should be slammed in his face but of course Pelosi is a pushover and would not only invite him in, she'd cook him lunch too.

Oh, go fuck yourself R92. DL has never been moderate, and I'm a 14 year-long poster.

"Blackmailing" ? HA! Is that what you call dark money from Russia? We're finally getting in on the game. Thank fuck.

I might have forgiven Collins if she had just voted yes and intimated that the Republican powers that be threatened her with something, maybe jobs at the Bath Iron Works. But her 45-minute speech yesterday in which she tried to rehabilitate Kavanaugh, completely glossing over the fact that he repeatedly lied while under oath and that he lacks the required judicial temperament for a seat on our highest court, was just too much. Fuck her and the horse she rode in on.

In other parts of the world traitors are killed by public execution...

R92 is so full of shit. Over the past two years, dozens of a reasonable conservatives have lamented the takeover of their party, but yeah, it’s the Democrats who become extreme.

I hate her guts, she showed her true fascist colors.

{quote]Two word: OLD BATALACK!

That should be BATTLE AXE.

I might be overly suspicious but what guarantee is there that the "fund her opposition" website REALLY is going to her opponent?? Maybe I'm just reliving the whole "Jill Stein- give me your money for a recount" episode...but it pays to be careful.

Hi, r92, I remember you. I was the poster who divided their time between NY and Pittsburgh and also posted my view that PA was going to Trump and had the same experiences as you. I believe we've bumped into each other before on other threads where we discussed our experience. If I recall there was also a third Pennsylvanian who was also saying what we were and getting shit on for it too. The joke is on everyone who FF'd us and called us a troll back then. We were right.

I've been here about 16 years now and I agree with you wholeheartedly that things here have change dramatically this past election cycle. It's very obvious that there have been a huge influx of new people who have brought rather extreme views with them. And, as far as the dysfunction you mention, derangement syndrome, whether it be Hillary or Trump Derangement Syndrome, is very real and those afflicted are oblivious to having it.

You know Collins just melted when McConnell pressed her. She couldn't resist his cute turtle face and lovely turkey wattle.

She may just be a bad person.

She's definitely an ugly person.

[quote]I might be overly suspicious but what guarantee is there that the "fund her opposition" website REALLY is going to her opponent??

The group running the website, Crowdpac.org, are good people.

Word is from Maine Collins knows she's toast in the Senate and wants to run for governor of Maine in 2020. Hoping these funds can go towards her Dem governor opponent if that happens.

Yes, R24 not R22. Sorry R22.

Susan Collins = Garbage Person, who does not wipe properly...

R105- If she's toast in the Senate, I don't think she should be measuring curtains for the governor's mansion. She's really become tone deaf as to how people view her now.

(from another thread). Perfect description of Collins....

Yep, R108.

R105 she's been talking about running for governor for years and confirmed last October that she would not be running for governor.

Her doddering old grandma act pisses me off big time....It's all been so upsetting, I'm sure she'll go home and bake some cookies.

Her face is garbage, R107. I'll bet her pussy stinks and nobody has been there in decades and that's why she's not worried about anybody grabbing hers without permission!

Has this bitch had a stroke or something? Why does she speak so slowly, like she just learned to read?

I've heard that, too, R105. I think the $2+million that has been raised would be a nice contribution for her democratic opponent in the governor's race. I would also like to see some $$ raised to fund McConnell's next democratic opponent.

Hi r101 I remember you too!

I'm the poster that lives in the Philly burbs but works in Manhattan.

Thankfully there are still a few of us sane ones here :)

We've probably been on DL longer than 95% of the posters on this thread - they are the real trolls here.

I've been here since prancing ponies - yet as far as these new posters are concerned We're some Russian bots that have recently infiltrated the site. That's how delusional its become here.

Joke was on them in 2016, and it will be on them once again in November.

When will they ever learn?

So you're not a Russian bot, just angry Philly trash? Is that supposed to be a step up?

Typical attack response r117, which is why you're losing.

Susan Collins today looks like what I expect Jodi Arias to look like when she gets old.

B-b-but she's had long conversations with Brett on the phone, and he assured her that he was an upstanding kinda guy.

[quote] which is why you're losing.

Except we're not. We're winning local races and districts that went overwhelmingly Trump. If you paid any sort of attention, you might actually know that.

We'll see about that 121...

"HILLLARY will win in a LANDSLIDE" lol

Yup

Investigate her lobbyist husband’s ties to Russia and offshore banking

[quote] "HILLLARY will win in a LANDSLIDE" lol

R122, you cunts will gets yours. Just you wait. And nobody cries uglier and harder than Repubs when they lose. lol

What r124 said = #truth

Koch brothers money .Turn on msnbc

Susan Collins is first ad foremost a Repig. She voted for a lying sexual assaulter who will rule against Robert Mueller issuing a subpoena to the thug pig cunt Trump.

Roe vs. Wade? Gone. Gerrymandering? Remains in place. Bringing Trump to justice? Don't count on it.

[quote]Has this bitch had a stroke or something? Why does she speak so slowly, like she just learned to read?

I cannot believe she's still in her SIXTIES. I nearly fainted when I read her age. She's 65! She's the 1950s version of 65, IE: OLD.

I honestly thought this shaky-headed, slow talking old coot was about 75-80! Does she have Parkinson's disease?

And she will see Trump's true side after her vote.He hates her

She has dystonia

This is the little shit who promised NOT to vote for anyone who was anti-abortion. She's lost any credibility on this subject.

She's a hypocrite and attention whore. I read that some group has already raised 3 million dollars for anyone to run against her.

She needs to go. McTurtle, Lindsay Hysteria & Grumpy Grassley should follow.

I really don't understand the smug "told you so" posters. This isn't a seasonal sporting match. Very big issues are on the line. Who cares whether you were right and other posters were wrong regarding the pres election. How old are you? Get a fucking grip.

R121 is talking facts. Things that have already happened. R122 is a retarded cunt who can't even spell. Still stuck in 2016, dear?

Thanks, R133. A lot of that going on in Twitter, too. The issue isn't Brownie points for predicting some part of the outcome, it is the devastation that will result. Trump has effectively openly corrupted all 3 branches of government.

I have R122 on block. Thankfully.

All this blabbing about her here means nothing! Call her a CUNT on social media!

We were TOLD weeks ago by her assistant that she pre approved Kavanaugh. You have to be an idiot to think she was going to do anything but vote yes. I’m amazed that anyone thought she was going to changer her mind. She voted for the devastating tax cut that will plunge us into debt and make politics even more the purview of the stinking rich. The “agreement” she had with McConnell was a feint. They both knew he wasn’t going to do it. It was kabuki for the dumbass masses.

Yes, all your pleading with Collins was for naught. All your phone calls and emails and Twitter posts were worthless. You chose to ignore the truth.

Don’t go blaming us for telling you the truth.

We will keep telling it whether you like it or not.

And btw, there is no point in contacting any but your own representatives. If you’re not in one of their zip codes, they don’t fucking care what you think or have to say. You can waste your time if you want, but don’t go telling others that it’s a worthwhile pursuit.

Another Pennsylvania DL member here. I worked the polls in November 2016. By 10 am I had spoken with three people all over 50 who all said they were voting for the first time ever in their entire lives. I knew they weren't voting for Hillary. Since then I've experienced that feeling more and more in my interactions with others throughout the state. Now I wonder if this faction is growing bigger and bigger every day.

[quote] By 10 am I had spoken with three people all over 50 who all said they were voting for the first time ever in their entire lives.

Let me guess. They were white.

White people feel ambattled. They’re going to vote for the racist white guy. When Obama was President they saw how many minority people he put in his WH and his cabinet and they didn’t like it. “He only wants his own! Look at that. I knew it! I knew he was gonna go all out surrounding himself with the blacks! That’s not in proportion! They’re only 13 percent of the population, and that’s how many should be in the government. That goddamn affirmative action!”

I know because I heard my asshole family (only my mother’s side) and asshole neighbors say those things out loud. The hatred for black people is really, really deep among white Americans.

Embattled, sorry

The "I told you so" posters, r133, are smug because of the abuse they put up with here. Any post that offered no criticism or no partisan rhetoric but simply said, "I don't think things are going they way you think they are because..." was met with vitriol. We were FF'd to the point that we were given time outs, called trolls and worse. And, yup, we were right. It's not a sporting match, you're right, but we didn't turn it into one. It's the people who can't handle things outside their own bubble that did.

As I said up thread, derangement syndrome is real and it's a hell of a thing to watch in action.

Are you the Bucks County DLer, r139?

r142 speaks the truth. I remember all it that.

[quote] Now I wonder if this faction is growing bigger and bigger every day.

Why do you think that? Conor Lamb is solid, Barletta has done nothing. Not to get complacent but what signs are there they PA is getting worse?

There’s one insane person here who believes that if you say negative things, you will bring about negative outcomes. You must only say positive things and positive things will happen. Actually, it may be more than one person. At any rate, it’s a childish viewpoint and that person/s has a childish tantrum when anyone says, “Looking at it from my perspective, I think that x will happen and here’s why...” If you differ from her viewpoint, you’re called a troll, a bot, a Russian, etc.

You can try explaining why you believe this (instead of being a troll and just making a statement and leaving) but it doesn’t matter. You’re screamed at for being someone who has given up, a negative nancy, a nihilist, a pessimist who wants bad things to happen. You’re told to go away because you’re only here to spread false negativity for Trump or Russia and depress democratic turnout.

I say we FF that person from now on so we can have actual discussions - not trollery, not MAGA shit but a weighing of why or why not this might or might not be an outcome. Put Pollyanna in the time out box.

That will become a DL meme, r99. Like Graxy and Pron. Welcome to the Hall of Fame. Let's all go on Twitter and call her a Battalack! I'm getting sick of the two MSNBC reporters who cover Capitol Hill. Both of them making excuses for her. Collins did not meet with constituents in Washington and the floor where many of them have offices was closed to the public and guarded by the police. She avoided the elevator and hid out in her hidey-hole in the basement. Alyssa Milano went to her office with several of her female constituents and she refused to open the door to her office and talk with them. But both Hunt and Haake insisted she did. She pre-approved Kavanaugh before he was nominated. She was never going to be a no. Her grandstanding was an embarrassment and enraging. Never want to hear another word out of her lying mouth. The same goes for MM and LG. Fuck them all to hell.

I think MSNBC is afraid to criticize Collins because of the fear that deplorables like Laura Ingraham will scream that the librul media is attacking a woman after saying they believe all women are telling the truth. “But oh no, they won’t let republican conservative women have their say! They want to shut down anyone who doesn’t agree with them.” Deplorables have been scoring points among some fence sitters by saying progressives want to shut down any conservative opinions. I understand why they might treat Collins with kid gloves

But they ought to rip whole new assholes for Flake, Sasse & Graham.

Huh?

Anyone see the Wall Street Journal headline? "Susan Collins Consents" .

Loved it!

She doesn’t have dystonia.

She's just a woman hating cunt.

Like a large number of DL-ers, R153.

I hate to say it, but it's true.

Disgusting cunt.

I can just picture her laying on a big satin pillow and chatting with Bart for hours.

And sighing.

And giggling.

I hope she has a long slow death.

Show me a Republican and I will show you a thieving, cowardly cunt, everytime.

That's exactly how she comes off. A silly, besotted, school girl with a crush. I watched the episode of The Circus where they interviewed her and gave considerable time to her because she could/would be a deciding vote. The look on Alex Wagner and Heilemann's faces when she told them that she was "almost there" said it all. They KNEW the old Battalack was going to vote yes. Despite everything. The population of Maine is the oldest of any state and they don't care about Roe vs Wade. She's 65 and childless. I don't think she cares either. She could live another twenty years or more so money and a cushy life is what is important. She dithers about running for Governor and has for several years so maybe she means it this time. She can leave the Senate a rich bitch but stay in the game on another level. Maine voters kept LaPage in office for what, twelve years? They are stupid enough to vote for her too.

[quote]she told them that she was "almost there"

Contemplation of the imagined smell of such an outcome is enough to make a maggot gag.

I knew this CUNT would vote “yes”, but I thought Murkowski would as well.

[quote]I hope she has a long slow death.

Doesn't her Parkinson's essentially guarantee this?

maybe bitch will do a Robin Williams

R143 - no that's me

I'm the bucks county poster in New Hope:

I was the one commenting about the lack of yard signs and enthusiasm in Bucks during the election. Also I was the poster that had Trump visit my gym for a rally - the rally that he held in Newtown Pa. it was packed. The lines to get in real insane. During this time I remember Kane cancelling some of his rallies - because he just didn't have a crowd. Yet you'd never know there was a problem because anyone who dared to mention it here was blocked. Even in this thread there are posters screaming "block!!" Just because they don't like what I have to say - and they wonder why her loss was such a shock?

I will say this - things have gotten worse. By that I mean the derangement syndrome that r101 is referring to. People are highly turned off by this - they are at least where I am.

I do think we need to block the crazy people that keep blocking everyone else and getting people banned just for offering a real discussion or debate.

The other day someone posted a thread "something is off on DL" complaining that posting had gone down and that things were slow - I honestly think many posters have been driven away from the insanity that goes on here.

Thanks a lot bitch. You sure stood up for victims, hypocrite.

She says she doesn't believe that Cavanaugh was 'the one' that attacked Dr. Ford. Was she in the that room that night? No. Ford was.

Susan Collins is only looking after her pension. She should be burned at a stake.

Maybe she demanded a little action from Brett "Bang her" Kavanaugh and got it.

Hence her yes vote.

[quote]Susan Collins is the person who spends 20 minutes keeping everyone waiting in the restaurant while she decides what to order and then finally orders the same thing she always gets.

She's the person who ignores the growing line behind her at the grocery store as she shows the clerk a recently expired coupon she wants to use, then keeps repeating "I don't think I *can* use this, though," even after the clerk reassures her it's still usable numerous times. After twenty minutes of hand-wringing and making the manager come over to reiterate that yes, she *can* use the coupon, she decides the REAL issue here is that she just can't trust the integrity of a store that doesn't honor coupon expiration dates, and leaves without paying for anything.

Before going, she turns to the long line of irritated customers behind her and gives a quick, smug, eye-rolling "I'm sorry" that's clearly meant to mean "I'm taking it for granted that everyone here fully respects where I'm coming from. No one could possibly think I'm the asshole in this situation."

[quote]No one could possibly think I'm the asshole in this situation.

Everyone knows she’s the asshole.

Notice how she stood in front of the TV cameras for 45 minutes. She is a media whore. Vote that bitch out.

I'm glad nobody is confusing her with me.

There really should be term limits for the senate. Two terms -- 12 years — is plenty. We’ve got so many septuagenarians & octogenarians in there because people are lazy.

When she was first elected to the Senate in 1996, she promised to serve no more than two terms. She's now on her fourth.

Fuck this wretched slow-talking cunt.

Dried up old cunt..... Way to go beef lips!

Republicans are liars, all of them

Her incredibly preachy, annoying speech yesterday was the last straw for me. I donated to six Democratic campaigns today to unseat her Republican friends.

Is this cunt a closet lez?

She didn't get married until she was 59!

She probably waited to find a man who hates women as much as she does, R179.

She's a cunt!

My not very political friend tonight told me that he listened to Collins speech and how heartfelt and well-reasoned he thought it was and how anyway a 15 year old slut drinking at parties is to blame for what happened to her. This is what we’re dealing with folks. It’s idiocy.

[quote]The joke is on everyone who FF'd us and called us a troll back then. We were right.

See, the thing is, you very obviously don't care that Trump won. You never did anything but repeat over and over again that you were right and everyone else was wrong, even before the election. You never showed any support for Dems in any thread, you just cried about being a victim all the time.

And you sockpuppeted too, which I clearly remember from blocking your whiny ass. So I'm not convinced that this little reunion of like-minded PA insiders is more than just you pulling the same old tricks.

You've also said that we deserve Trump because of how we supposedly treated you, which I personally think makes you a homophobe, and possibly someone who lives outside the US. If you're really in the US, you're apparently too stupid to realize Trump is your president, too, and all this affects you as much as anyone else.

Collins is looking forward to her retirement and the cushy six figure lobbyist job that was probably promised to her for her vote.

She craves attention too much to retire entirely from politics. Will run for Governor of Maine. Will lose. Many Mainers may be suspicious of outsiders and rather ignorant of issues outside of the state but they can see how her talk rarely matches her walk. They will not re-elect her for anything. Including dogcatcher. Give to the Democratic candidate for Governor. I am also making a list of Democrats who are in jeopardy but didn't sell us out and will donate to them. Including the ones in states where Trump has held a hate rave in recent days. This is the way to get these fuckers. Manchin is getting ripped to shreds. Don't give a shit about all of the rationalizations given to keep him in the Senate. Fuck him. I hope he loses. His piece of shit daughter is getting ripped too. For ripping off people who need life saving Epi-pens. Fuck her too. She also lied about having an MBA. Okay, I'm done.

Warren makes Claims now that th senate was given a very limited investigation, that the investigation didn’t exonerate Kavanaugh and that he lied under oath. Collins and all those who supported him can burn in Hell

Good lord. I'm watching The Practice and the D.A is trying to gaslight a defendant accused of kidnapping by telling her that she (the D.A.) believes that she (the defendant) truly believes that she (the defendant) is innocent but has a form of amnesia. Ladies and gentlemen I give you the Susan Collins Pretense Defense.

Last week when Flake asked for an FBI investigation, I knew it was going to be a limited scam investigation just to cover themselves. I also knew that Collins and Flake were going to vote yes no matter what. Flake knows that there won't be big lucrative jobs waiting for his when he left the senate if he voted no. Lisa Murkowski was the only holdout I felt may vote no. With the exception of the ACA bill she always voted lock-step with other Republicans regardless of the bullshit blather she always makes before voting with them.

[bold]The first casualty, when war comes, is truth[/bold]

When Repubs came up with the "it wasn't Kavanaugh, it was another man" defense (read lie) it was clear as a day that they were going to dismiss Dr. Ford's testimony and anything else relating to Kavanaugh's unfitness to serve on the SC.

We are in war, with our own.

Hope Susan Rice doesn’t run for Collins seat. Rice is a lightning rod for Republicans, Breitbart, Fox News, QAnon, etc. Their hatred for her is right up there with their loathing for Valerie Jarrett. How dare she be black, female and have power? Why, she’s just an affirmative action spoiler. Some good white man could have had those govt positions. This is one of the reasons why deplorables want to tear down the US go to. Because it gives black people some power. That’s gotta stop!

They would donate a half a billion dollars and many faulty voting machines to keep Rice out of the job.

Did anyone ask Collins if she believes Ford was attacked but mistaken about BK then is Ford also mistaken about Mark Judge being there? Gosh, maybe Christine Ford is also mistaken about being Christine Ford. Maybe she's somebody else entirely.

Collins knows she can't come out and say either "Ford is lying" or "Ford is telling the truth but I don't care" so she does the same fence-straddle that every other GOP is doing.

I think what's even more annoying is that journalists don't follow up these answers. Like "Senator Collins, you say you believe that Dr. Ford was attacked. But if you say you don't know by whom, then how can you be certain it wasn't Kavanaugh if Dr. Ford IS 100% it was Kavanaugh?"

[quote]I think what's even more annoying is that journalists don't follow up these answers.

Can’t lose access. Or at least that’s the excuse. One hand washes the other.

Why does she keep flapping her lips about Ford's recollection? Was Collins at the party? Who made her Judge, jury and executioner?

She's almost as bad as Trump trashing Ford at the rallies. If you don't know what you're talking about- shut up.

On the bright side, Collins' reputation is ruined. She'll just be remembered as that dumb bitch who had some phone conversations with Krybaby and decided he was a good guy.

What a sad end to a decent career for a moderate republican from a state that is only getting more liberal with each passing year.

No sympathy for the hell you bring upon yourself, Senator Collins. You had good reason to oppose even before the Ford drama.

R182, apparently people have a right to be as uninformed as they like in their private lives. Collins' speech was filled with one inaccuracy after another. It's only well-reasoned if you assume all her underlying facts are true.

She will be a defense lawyer's wetdream on a jury.

She does have MEFCF (Major Elder Frau Cunt Face)

She’s a white cunt from Maine. That place reeks of Trump trash.

Hugh Hewitt just used the word “spectacular” on MSNBC to describe Collins’ speech.

You big silly! You used to be a normal person!

r200, where is that from? It sounds sooooo familiar...

The new talking point is the D's are so extreme. Give me a fucking break!

There is one extreme party willing to do anything to win and stay in power. Lying, cheating, stealing traitors to democracy. Merrick Garland, Donald Trump, Plowing through with BK, complete lack of transparency, fucking Mitch McConnel and the D's are extreme? Please spare me and fuck right off!

I’m every single picture, Susan Collins looks like she’s sucking shit out if an asshole

She's got the face of a sun damaged Mule.

She had her last chance to distinguish herself as apart from the christo-fascists. She failed and now she'll be gone. Buh bye, bitch.

Fuck this cunt and all those idiots who have no idea what they just won. Reap the whirlwind, and that drunk wannabe rapist isn't as much the wind as a bag of douchenozzled sputum. Fuck them all.

And that bloated carcass they follow blindly invoked the feminine deity when he mocked the good Dr. That won't play well in the cosmos, no matter what you believe in. Children in cages and molesters on the highest court of the land.

I just wrote a postcard telling her I donated to her future opponent and I will donate again next year and that I hope her political career is over.

Susan Collins 413 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washinton, D.C. 20510

[quote]Manchin is getting ripped to shreds.

Good. WTF? Why would her vote for Kavanaugh?

Sorry for the incoherent ranting, DL. I've been damned upset.

R208 It's okay. We all hate the cunt.

She's the same person she was before and the same person she would have been if she had voted the other way. If you criticize her now, you should have been criticizing her all along.

We have been, R210, and for quite some time. She's a known mumble mouthing apologist who wants to be seen as 'progressive' while voting to fuck over her constituents. Oh, we've seen her game....a game that's now OVAH.

As they say in Cundy's Harbor: Too bad, so sad.

R210

^^ Sorry. That was meant for R211.

Follow the money. The nasty bitch made bank on this shady deal.

Susan Collin's work phone: 1-202-224-2523 You can leave a message.

These cunts and fuckers who rant about Trump (and Bush when he was president), then vote for their policies KNOW they’re doing wrong. They wouldn’t try to appear as if they were dissenters if they were doing the right thing.

SEN. SUSAN COLLINS: "The one silver lining that I hope will come from this is that more women will press charges now, when they are assaulted,"

Yeah, after watching what Christine Ford went through, I'm sure woman are just DYING to press charges against their assaulter.

This idiot must have a very cushy post-political job already lined up.

R6

I wish I could use this as my on social media tagline

This was old Sue’s week. She made it all about her in the end. I hope I never have to see her stupid face again.

Brett Kavanaugh will not last long in that job. The books are going to start coming out, doing the research that should have been done months ago. He still likes beer...

He should have never thrown his hat in the ring in the first place; he's not SCOTUS material.

Creepy fake Susie pedaled GOP Junk Science to gaslight Dr. Blasey-Ford - “she was mistaken in identifying him as her attacker...” Donald isn the only Republican to pedal Conspiracy Theories, now Collins is dealin in fake news herself.

Maine should be ashamed to have this person in Congress. What a wretched excuse for a human being.

I hate to say this of another woman, especially one is an authority figure: but her pussy stinks.

R220 agree and with that comes the consequences. In this day and age you need to be a boy scout.

R217 Just the opposite, even less women will report sexual assault, and they certainly would not come forward publicly to accuse a public person. I am a bisexual male, and I was raped in college by another male when I accepted his invitation to drive me home after a birthday party. The shame of the ordeal and the concern of nobody believing me or thinking it was me fault kept me from reporting it or telling anybody about it until I told a boyfriend about 10 years later.

Kavanaugh is reported to be hiring all female law clerks team to work with him. Talk about a bullshit PR stunt.

Will Brett’s all female crew be like the backing band in Robert Palmer’s Addicted to Love video? I can see them all dolled up sexy in tight short skirts, bright red lipstick, flashing white power signs. Ugh.

Perfect R35... exactly.

nothing but filth and garbage, like I"ve always said

if his hires claim sexual assault by him will they be ignored? is he free to just do what ever he wants now?

in the meantime Collins opponent raised 1 million in 24 hours after her yes vote and has now raised 3 million.

R226 he will have more choices when he gets drunk and is in a rapey mood.

R226, R227, they'll all be flashing that fucking hateful white power sign, too. I haven't forgotten that cunt's act, though I have, gratefully, forgotten her name.

Susan Collins

Cunt

Erna has competition now.

Eric Garland has a Twitter thread on her lobbyist husband, Thomas Daffron, and his political background and Russian ties. I think the Russian ties seems a bit exaggerated in significance, but one does wonder about the timing of their marriage.

R234: one of the intel guys on Twitter was saying they should investigate Russian insurance fraud in her state to find some interesting things.

I agree with that

The only way to payback Collins is to investigate her husband. There’s bound to be at least one financial/ethical scandal there.

One of Kavanaugh’s new hires

Lorne Michaels, who loves Trump, should invite Senator Collins to host SNL
