Oh, Look! Lisa Murkowski Flip-Flopped Again!

She’s a fucking rancid old cow. Tar and feather her ass!

She got a deal where Medicaid cuts don’t affect Alaska. The bill is full of stuff like that. Everyone gets bought off or threatened.

If she had voted against it, Collins would have been a yes. Politically, Collins needed to be a no more than Murkowski. The plan was probably always to bring in Vance as the tie-breaker.

[quote]The plan was probably always to bring in Vance as the tie-breaker.

Absolutely, r3.

Yes, this is all Kabuki. Thune "allowed" 3 of his cunts to go off the reservation for this bill so they could tell their constituents, see I opposed it knowing full well it will pass

Well, there goes the bond market...

Fucking useless cunt. Fuck her.

R5. I understand your reference, but, I have tio say--Kabuki, in my experience, is more entertaining!

R5 For Susan Butthole Collins, definitely. But Rand Paul and Thom Tillis don’t fit that category.

Tillis & Paul gave notice to Thune that he could only lose one more vote. It was either gonna be Collins or Murkowski.

After voting to pass the bill, this spineless cunt actually said, "My hope is that the House is going to look at this and recognize that we're not there yet.”

Then why did you vote for it, you stupid cowardly bitch?

On the plus side, this is what she looked like after she voted for the bill and left Senate chambers. Ashamed and terrified. Good.

That's not concern, r11, that's fear.

"She got a deal where Medicaid cuts don’t affect Alaska"

So the remaining 49 states can go to hell then, is that right, Lisa?

Lisa? Lisa?

R12 I said she looks ashamed and terrified, not concerned.

R14 With Cult Jam and Full Force

Actually the parliamentarian had tossed out the plan where Alaska (and Hawaii) got a special deal on Medicaid. So they had to figure out something else.

The House & the Senate should both have just said no to bundling all this stuff into one bill. Lots of them opposed parts of it but they had to vote all or nothing.

Weren’t there talks about her becoming a Democrat? We don’t want her now.

How the hell does she get to cut a deal for Alaska? How does that work?

Yes we do, Lisa! At least become an Independent like Sanders & King who caucuses with the Democrats.

I think Susan Collins had to vote no. The hospital system in rural areas in Maine are a mess and maternity wards shutting down all over the state. Women in labor might have to travel 100s of miles to the closest hospital maternity ward.

Let's not forget that there are two Senators from AK. Sullivan should be getting just as much shit as she is. Girls, girls, they're BOTH Republicunts!

R22 Murkowski deserves more shit because she actually had the gall to say, "Ya know, I hate this bill, but I'm gonna vote for it anyway, and I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that the House kills it."

Reprehensible cowardice.

1 out of 50 ain't bad.....

Cunts HATE being held accountable! This is DELICIOUS.

But take your Dramamine because the amount of spinning she’s doing will make even the best of us nauseous.

I bet Trump will shitcan the carveout.

She could have killed the bill.

Wait, I thought I was the only passive-aggressive-voting, annoying bitch in Washington!???

R26, SHE is. RANCID CUNT!!!

Vile cunt.

Can we ban multi-topic bills in the US congress?? I know some state governments bills can't be epic multi-issue bills. One can't conceivably support most/all in any bill-- so it becomes coercive and full of pork.

Murkowski did a favor by voting for a bill she hates so that her fellow “moderate,” Collins, could harmlessly vote against it.

As DLs know, Susan is in deeper shit with her voters for flip-flopping than any other Republican up for reelection. Had she and Lisa both voted against the bill, it [italic]might[/italic] have failed and Trump would have gone nuclear on them both.

Build Back Better was one such multi-topic bill, R32. Such bills are a means to get some measures enacted outside of the filibuster rule.

Apparently, Murkowski was able to add many goodies for Alaska in the bill, including an exemption for some the Medicaid requirements

what a CUNT

We can only hope that the press and the public are relentless in their pursuit of her, and that Trump does what he does to everyone - betray them and not fulfill the promises he made to her. Careful, Lisa, Chuck Schumer is now drafting a stern letter to you.

The more I'm reading about this bill, the more alarming it is.

It's almost indescribable. We're done. This will destroy everyone but the very rich.

I can't believe this is how we go full authoritarian/oligarchy. I fucking grifting reality star did us in.

Well, I can believe it. Or course the US experiment ends with a Trump. It's perfect.

Ugh. Sorry for my typos at R38. Typing with a sprained wrist is hard!

Murkowski is bitch.

Does anyone braver than me know how Fox is covering this bill? Is it being hailed as some great victory?

R41 I refuse to watch Fox, but I've seen clips on other media, and yes, according to Fox, Trump once again has saved American civilization.

I’ve read that the Medicaid cuts have received scant attention on Fox. Quelle surprise.

Heinous and criminal - murkowski deserves a fate worse than death

R44, I hope a grizzly bear mauls her.

She voted to send it to the House, where it faces members with conflicting interests with a three-vote margin. It isn't law yet. Alaska and Hawaii often get higher eligibility limits based on their higher costs of living, not exactly a new thing. I'm not apologizing here, just trying to add context.

don't, please, don't

R46 Sorry, but there is not "context" here.

If she didn't like the bill, she should've voted "no."

Period. End of story.

R44 A naked Trump sitting on her face would be sufficient punishment.

The face of evil and cowardice.

what a rancid cunt

This bitch again. And again and again.

That's a Linda Blair look if I've ever seen one!

Revolting CUNT. All the senator have enough money to go do something else if they are primaries and lose their next election. Spineless cynical anti-American cunts, the lot of them.

If only it was the loss of their careers, R54.

I see careers ending over this beyond Tillis's career.

Murkowski might be bullied into rejecting the reconciled bill when it returns. It's not over, it has a very rough process to pass the House.

She puts the “Ask” in Alaska.

R56, I don’t think the bill goes back to the Senate if the House passes the Senate-revised version.

R50, that will be the face that her '28 opponent campaigns on.

R49, that would be an even more fitting punishment. Bitch looks like she would taste dry and stringy anyway.

What a heinous hag

Trump gets absolutely everything he wants so face it folks, this will pass and it will be our new reality. Dark days ahead.

fucking hate her

I'm tired of these people who act like they're the adults in the room, only to ultimately fall in line with the lunatics. And this woman has run that play time and time again. I don't care - she's Alaska's problem and I suppose if they got rid of her, they'd just vote in some MAGA loon who doesn't even pretend to be sane, though honestly, would that be any worse than Murkowski and her tiresome posturing?

R64, at least with a MAGAT-MAGAT, you know where they stand vs. this grandstanding cunt.

She’s horrible

It looks like the bill is going to pass. This is all on Murkowski. She could've prevented this.

I hope she never has another moment of peace in her life, and I hope the souls of all the people who will die because of her cowardice haunt her until she goes to an early grave herself.

[quote] This is all on Murkowski.

Or leadership, which gave Collins - over Murkowski - the one remaining pass to vote against the bill.

R68 No. The blame lies squarely with Murkowski. A simple "no" vote would have ended this. She has no spine.

Trump's still going to primary her bony ass in 2028, assuming she doesn't pull a Tillis and conveniently retire before then.

She has no friends left. Not Republicans. Not Independents. Not Alaska Natives.

She needs to go away and rot.

Hey! The bill just passed! Way to go, Lisa!!!

We are still deeply concerned.

Don't even I get a pass on this one, R73?

[quote] Way to go, Lisa!!!

At least I'm still alive ... for now.
