Susan Collins

by NoahLook at the smug contempt in that face. Just look at it! Imagine the level of disrespect for the law and the contempt for America and its citizens that motivates Susan Collins in order for her to say what she said about the madmanTrump learning his lesson.

by NoahSusan Collins' whole life is an upside down pyramid of ever-growing shamelessness and duplicity. It's easy to see what she must have been like as a child, since she must have chosen her path early to get to the monumental point where she is today.

Everybody keep your powder dryThat Bolton book release over the weekend sure did turn the impeachment trial on its head! Susan Collins' campaign sent out an emergency e-mail yesterday: "Susan has and continues to be a voice of reason that we can ALWAYS count on. But right now, she needs to know if she can count on us.

I don't think anyone in the House thinks they're going to get 20 Republicans to vote to remove Trump from office. They'll be lucky if they can keep Joe Manchin, Doug Jones and Kyrsten Sinema on the reservation and get even one Republican, presumably Collins or Murkowski. Instead, I think what the Democrats are trying to do is create a record for posterity and make a case against Trump's reelection. And they're been very successful in doing just that.

by NoahAh, the continuing and continuing Washington profiles in cowardice (and worse), the essence of Washington! It's not that forked tongue Susan Collins is the only $enator who cares more about her cushy job as a graft magnet than she does for the United States, but Collins is hell bent on making herself stand out when it comes to such things, no surprise there. She has a "talent" for it.

Would you guess this came from Gideon or Collins? Or one of their corporately-funded super-PACs?Over the last week I've had a running argument with some centrist Democrats about the bullshit pledge-- bullshit in some cases, heartfelt in others-- Democratic candidates routinely take to eschew corporate PAC money. Why bullshit? Three reasons:

You can't 'unknow' something like this, right?Monday, on Maine public Radio’s Morning Edition, Susan Collins used her experience from the Clinton impeachment trial to urge Moscow Mitch and Little Chucky Schmucky to play nice. “I think that the model and the precedent established by the trial for President Clinton is one that our leaders should take a hard look at.

Republicans in states or districts that are so red that they don't need independent voters to win, have no problem continuing to support Trump. At least in theory, the states where Republicans can win without significant independent support are these half dozen red hellholes (with their PVIs):

Technically, the call for an official impeachment inquiry into Trump's treason is bipartisan, since ex-Republican Jason Amash (I-MI) is adamantly in favor of it.

by NoahUnless you are ridiculously naive, you have to know by now that Maine's $enator Susan Collins would have welcomed Alabama Judge Roy Moore into the United States $enate. Had the man she considers her boss of bosses, Donald Trump, nominated Judge Moore for the "Supreme" Court, she would have voted for him just as she voted for Brett Kavanaugh.
