Oh, my! Susan Collins is demanding that we get to the bottom of the Khashoggi murder!

[ehrnst]

[ginnyinWI]

1. Lucy and the football. n/t

[brush]

36. Yep, she's pulling her usual bait and switch. She'll back trump in the end as usual.

[olegramps]

39. Things will only change when every Republican is defeated for every office from local to federal.

[deminks]

2. B*llsh*t.

She might not like what she finds at the bottom, but will always come out defending her orange hero.

Beware of 'Aunt Lydia'.

[bora13]

64. lydia, oh lydia

[certainot]

65. thanks a lot, maine

[spanone]

3. or what? she'll pretend to not vote for something she'll eventually vote for?

she's useless....

'as described by the Turkish press'

so sue, if they described it differently you'd be okay with it????

[Satch59]

4. Great tweet response to her tweet

She needs to be reminded often how empty her remarks are.

[Iliyah]

5. Joker's wild

[lagomorph777]

6. JadeinNM is just mean.

Bitingly, accurately, mean.

[OriginalGeek]

58. I've never met her

and I doubt I ever will but she is now one of my favorite people.

[handmade34]

7. excellent response!!!!

"something happened to Khashoggi; but he must be mistaken about who did it"

[Roland99]

8. That response nailed it!

[Duppers]

45. "Balls-on"*

*a "My Cousin Venny" reference

[malaise]

9. DEarvSusan

STFU with your hot air.

[gibraltar72]

10. Susan is sure something very traumatic

happened to Mr. Khashoggi. He's just confused about who dismembered him.

[Scarsdale]

11. She will get booked for

a few Sunday shows. Demand answers, whine and babble. Then say in a few weeks "Well, there is no evidence, no body. How can anyone convict with no witnesses? I believe that he was murdered, but who did it remains a mystery" Then she will smile that fake smile.

[treestar]

12. Such a hypocrite

But then the republicans all are.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

82. K&R. Yes and what they should be demanding....

is accountability for thousands of civilians irresponsibly killed in Yemen by the Saudis with our assistance and tax dollars.

It galls me how the world gets enthralled by a shiny who-done-it story for weeks while disregarding the crazed wild elephants in the room.

..........

[PearliePoo2]

13. JadeinNM nailed it! Brilliant response! Meanwhile...

The fund to raise money for Susan Collin's Democratic opponent in 2020 is now $3,726,447!

Here's the link if you wish to chip in:

[DFW]

14. That is EXACTLY what came to my mind before I even saw the respponse!

Perfectly worded. I'm sure Collins won't care, just as she couldn't care less about what happened to Khashoggi, but it is just what needs to be tossed is Senator Susie's face.

[PatSeg]

15. Oh my, such outrage

Such indignation! Does she really think people are listening to her or that they forgot the whole Kavenaugh debacle? A wiser person would step back, hold their tongue for awhile, and hope that people will forget what she did.

[Amimnoch]

16. Here's Susie with her look of "disapproval"..

[Botany]

17. Quick get Rachel Mitchell

n/t

[Le Gaucher]

18. Fuck the stupid asshole lady!

[MineralMan]

19. What if Senator Collins said something, but nobody listened?

She has made herself irrelevant, really.

[INdemo]

20. Susan Collins needs to watch out or Maine will not get the miilions in

funding for the Naval shipyard at Portland.....or perhaps she could just give a scripted speech by McGhan demanding but not really demand that Trump order an investigation.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

53. There's no naval ship yard in Portland, ME.

There's Bath Iron Works in Bath, ME. That would be the place the gets the Navy contracts in Maine. There's also the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, which is in Portsmouth, NH. Sounds like Portland, but not actually in Maine.

[Revanchist]

81. I thought that Virginia had the only Portsmouth Navel Shipyard

That's the one that I always think about

[INdemo]

84. Oh.l..thought there was a bill waiting to be signed

for funding of the Iron Works then...
That's where I got ..confused

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

96. Well, here is some odd, recent history that I missed

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piscataqua_River_border_dispute

So I guess Portsmouth Naval Shipyard technically belongs to Maine now. Portsmouth is in New Hampshire and that's what they named the place after because the feds thought it was in New Hampshire for many years. In 2002, it was decided that it was actually in Maine. I missed that because that was one of three years of my whole life that I didn't live in Maine. It is still called Portsmouth Naval Shipyard just to confuse the hell out of people it seems. I grew up in Maine and knew it to be part of New Hampshire. 2002 - 2005 I lived out of state and then moved back again. Learn something new every day. LOL.

[Raster]

21. It appears Senator Collins* is attempting to wash some of the trump*stink off of her hands...

...and flesh out her "moderate" Senate cred. One word: BULLSHIT.

Senator Two-Face says what?

[rurallib]

25. she's play acting again - like she isn't a Trump puppet

[NNadir]

22. Maybe a fixed one week superficial FBI investigation...

...will work.

It works well enough for accused attempted rapists appointed to lifetime seats on the Supreme Court.

[Pisces]

23. Her concern is noted.

[47of74]

24. Go fornicate yourself Susie

[democratisphere]

26. The queen of frauds should not be commenting on frauds and murders.

[RhodeIslandOne]

27. Softball Susie is VERY concerned

I’m sure her, Feckless Flake and Simple Sasse will look troubled for days!

[RVN VET71]

33. Until the issue fades from the media, and not a minute longer.

Sad, empty-hearted hypocrites. Collins probably will not seek re-election. Flake is already gone. And Sasse is crazy-legs Hirsch-ing all over the field trying to make people believe he's a human being while, at the same time, to convince Con-servatives that he's really one of them -- you cannot be both. A self-serving politician who, like all Con-servatives, will do whatever it takes to remain in office, damn the constitution and full speed ahead. Watch his stance on social security and medicare -- there you will see the real Con-man in action.

[Polly Hennessey]

28. Oh, my brain hurts.

She’s back. Silly Susan thinks we care what she has to say.

[helpisontheway]

29. All talk..vote her out next time she runs..nt

[lark]

30. Susan Collins, STUFU.

No one believes one word out of your mouth. You put a sexual assaulter, rapist, liar and extreme rw partisan on SCOTUS, there is nothing you can ever say or do that I would believe. You have no soul, having completely sold out to the drumpf party and proven your absolute treachery to all women in this country and total disregard for the rule of law. Because of you, rapist have been empowered and women degraded and rapes and assaults will skyrocket, again because of your personal backstabbing. STUFU forever.

[Garrett78]

31. I'm so glad the murder was described as an atrocity, or else Collins may not feign concern.

[Funtatlaguy]

32. Yeah, but they only cut off his fingers while he was alive...oh, and his head.

[turbinetree]

34. She really is a POS..................

[Rorey]

35. One more repuke to mute

She can take her fake outrage and shove it.

[SHRED]

37. My reply

Link to tweet

[The Genealogist]

38. Oh Sue, kindly go piss off

You immoral trash. I think I hear Mitch McConnell calling you, you missed a spot while kissing his ass.

[madaboutharry]

40. She is tiresome.

I wonder if the people of Maine will ever get fed up with her bullshit and finally figure out that she is a phony.

[Blue_Adept]

41. Stunned

[RicROC]

42. oh. ho hum Susan Collins

You burned your last bridge two weeks ago. Go back to Maine and don't bother giving your opinion on any subject.

[LAS14]

43. What if they (by accident) get to the bottom?? Then "You shouldn't have done that. Let's move on?"

[Paladin]

44. Thank you JadeinNM, for the perfect comeback to this ignorant, biased woman. (nt)

[Mira]

46. Happy to give the recommendation number 100

exactly the number of tongue lashings I'd like to give to Ms. Collins.

[watoos]

47. Susan must not have touched base with husband.

[ooky]

48. No longer care what she says or does.

To me she's just another fucking Republican who has been on the wrong side of too many votes I care about.

[FakeNoose]

49. Saudi funds must be frozen under the Magnitsky Act

We need sanctions against Saudi Arabia immediately. At least sanction the Royal Prince who is implicated in this awful crime. Susan Collins if you really meant what you tweet, you would make this happen.

[The_Counsel]

50. Whatever, Sue.

Do you really think you're going to score some more cash or whatever for your husband's lobbying firm? Or are you just hoping by "speaking out" like this you will somehow save your wrinkly behind from being firmly kicked in 2020?

Please just shut all the way the fuck up...

[hvn_nbr_2]

51. If Susan Collins was any more full of s#!t, she's need an EPA license to walk down the street. nt

[SunSeeker]

52. Wow, Twitter is just ripping Collins. EVERY single reply to her tweet skewers her.

Link to tweet

[Gregory Peccary]

70. Holy shit

Those responses are overwhelming. Gives me hope that the blue wave may be real.

[RainCaster]

54. Ooh ooh, let me tweet something so I can get myself back in the news!!

[delisen]

55. She hasn't asked Trump-just tells us. Self-serving comment.

[Vinca]

56. Susan (and Jeff) can STFU. They're not exactly profiles in courage.

[kairos12]

57. Maybe the Saudis can actually define what boofing means.

[czarjak]

68. Renate Alumni too...

[tavernier]

59. She doesn't care about children or the elderly

or the poor or the sick or women. Why are we supposed to believe she cares about Khashoggi?

The way you cast your votes shows who you are, Ms. Collins. Any accompanying theatrics are just a waste of time.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

60. The Saudis were lifting weights with Squi and Tobin that day, right, Susan?

[Scurrilous]

61. K&R

[DFW]

62. Mainestreaming

A Senator coming from Maine
Turns out not to have too much brain.
She said she'd use reason,
But that's out of season.
Her votes are thus always insane.

[WeekiWater]

63. And by that she means.

I need to go ask McConnell what the bottom is going to look like.

[Jakes Progress]

66. In 2020 we will find out if the voters of Maine

are as gullible and stupid as collins thinks they are.

I like Maine. I used to vacation there. I met a lot of nice people. I find it hard to imagine that there are so many there who are mean and stupid enough to keep putting this fraud back in office.

That said. I am from Texas. Sadly, though I know many good and thinking Texans, I don't have any problem believing that too many are just as mean and stupid as anyone who would vote for (fall for) collins. I mean, look at what we send to Washington. But at least, cornyn and cruz don't pretend to be moderate. They are out and out assholes and don't try to hide it. If collins feels she must run this "look at my concern" con over and over, she must think that Maine really wants a decent person (instead of her) so she has to trick them over and over. I guess my question is just how many time will Mainers fall for it.

[NNadir]

91. I'm not setting foot in that LePage/Collins hellhole.

If you have LePage as Governor and Suzie the fratboy attempted rapist enabler as your Senator, you may be as stupid as Suzie thinks you are.

She's certainly been proving it for a long time.

[Jakes Progress]

99. Just canceled travel plans to Maine.

We were going to spend a week at Bar Harbor and a ton of dough at LLBean and the wool store in Bath.

That money will go elsewhere.

[Honeycombe8]

67. Good response. #susancollins trying to get her reputation back. Ludicrous. nt

[dalton99a]

69. Trump: "There is clear proof that our Saudi friends are absolutely innocent"

[hostalover]

71. Nothing she says or does makes a whit of difference.

[magicarpet]

72. The $audi'$ didn't do it...

The $audi'$ investigated it...
The $audi'$ found themselves innocent...
Go home,... buy more $audi oil.
The $audi$ sent a $1,000,000,000.00 check so the trDumps and Jarvanka can go shopping and forget about Khashoggi.

[orleans]

73. she is useless and so full of shit

a hypocrite on steroids

[Marie Marie]

74. Susan speaks and the world yawns.

[japple]

75. And now Bob Corker is chiming in. Jeff Fluke up after the break.

TPM reports Corker: ‘There Has Been A Clampdown’ By Admin On Intelligence Regarding Khashoggi

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/corker-there-has-been-a-clampdown-by-admin-on-intelligence-regarding-khashoggi

[KayF]

76. Susan Collins doesn't seem to realize

that her words carry zero weight.

[underpants]

77. Trump today - "Certainly looks" like Khashoggi is dead

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211294047

[Blue_true]

78. Ignore her bullshit. She is just going to fall in line behind Trump. nt

[brooklynite]

79. An appropriate response...

Link to tweet

[NNadir]

92. +10,000

[Permanut]

80. Okay, so her tweet was yesterday, the 17th..

and today is the 18th. That's long enough for a thorough investigation, time's up.

[ecstatic]

83. More talk from GOP trash. They always pretend to be concerned

when situations like this come up, but then continue to prop up and protect trump. Fuck you, Collins! Either PUT UP, or SHUT THE FUCK UP because your comments are completely worthless at this point.

[bora13]

85. Welcome to the Monkey House

"Welcome to the Monkey House" by Kurt Vonnegut

[YOHABLO]

86. I'd say Collins has no credibility at this point. What a wishy-wash.

[Voices Of Reason]

87. What importance does this have to do with the U.S.?

Perhaps I am out of the loop, but Why is one foreign guys death in a foreign land? , done by Nefarious Foreign Agents- Have to do with America and stopping our Government to Investigate? I just simply don't see the angle here. Someone needs to enlighten me. Thank you.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

98. U.S. resident. Washington Post employee.

So there's a connection with the U.S.

[George Eliot]

88. Time for Miss Susan to shut the f*** up.

[EffieBlack]

89. Oh, shut up, Susan.

Really. Just be quiet.

[Still In Wisconsin]

90. Shut up Susan.

[rpannier]

93. For now

Give it a week and she'll change
Maybe make a big production of it by going on the senate floor, speaking for twenty minutes about her concerns over his murder and then giving the Saudi royal family a pass
I mean, they have forcefully denied the accusation

[duforsure]

94. By you doing nothing for this country

By allowing a sexual predator onto the highest court by a scam investigation and voting him in shows you lack any moral authority , or credibility to be taken seriously ever again on anything, especially with this now. Please refrain from showing the American people you're phony act now that you care. You're nothing but another fraud and a corrupt liar like those other corrupted people in the gop.

[SWBTATTReg]

95. Yeah, right. Sure. nt

[TheFarseer]

97. Yeah!

Or else she’ll quietly forget about it and not do anything!

[ck4829]

100. Real crack team of investigators that Senate is

101. Must be limited in scope!

Put Jeff Flake in charge. He'll get quick "results"!
