(54,433 posts)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.

(47,560 posts)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.

(6,496 posts)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.

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.

RVN VET71
(2,697 posts)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.

(23,142 posts)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.

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

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.

I mean, they have forcefully denied the accusation

(11,885 posts)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.
