So Sue is getting death threats, or so she says.

Collins is getting death threats after impeachment acquittal

SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine — Republican Sen. Susan Collins says she's getting death threats after her vote to acquit President Donald Trump at his impeachment trial, saying three of them were deemed “credible” and are being investigated.

Collins made the disclosure Friday while addressing the Maine Chiefs of Police Association winter conference.
“I just want you to know that I’ve always loved you and appreciated you. But now I have a real personal appreciation for all that you do to keep us safe,” Collins told the group in South Portland, Maine.

Stephen King lives across the street from her. I want him to run for her seat. I know he still suffers injuries when hit by a car. Perhaps his wife Tabitha or his son Joe. I would vote.

Sue, fuck off. Sure they are keeping YOU SAFE WHILE YOU YOURSELF VOTED TO MAKE AMERICAN UNSAFE. Girl, you voted for a maniac that you know is killing America, destroying our relationship with our allies while destroying our climate and letting the word of law burn in hell. YOU took an oath of office to defend the Constitution and then Shat on it. You are a liar just like the rest of your buddies. Yet here ya are saying how grateful you are for protecting your poor pitiful self. You have shown us EXACTLY who you are.

I have a Susan Collins level of concern here. In that I am not very concerned but will speak as if I am concerned.

Oh and screw you Susan...you bought and paid for this, you cretin!

believe her lying mouth when she says shes being threatened. On the other, she has taken on the role of fascist's handmaid. What did she expect? A muffin basket?

I believe she was threatened and scared.

Wonder if she ever cared when Dr Christine Blasey Ford was threatened with death threats, had to move her family to a safe place after accusing Kavanaugh of rape. Not. She vote to put him on the SUPREME COURT for life. She vote for him to decide Roe vs Wade.

If it is, being investigated ought to be sufficient to change their behavior. They will have learned a lesson. No need for witnesses or anything like that.

had she voted for witnesses or voted to convict.

But it wouldn't surprise me if they all start playing victim and even making up death threats.

Anything to draw a false equivalency.

Maybe we should all donate to her democratic opponent so that she doesn't get threats for being unfit Susan.

Don't you worry your poor little head about that. We'll send you concerns of thoughts and prayers, okay?

YOU.ARE.NOT.A.VICTIM!!! So go take a flying F at a rolling doughnut.

You have, however, endangered every other living being on the planet for which I, and I hope everyone else, will never forgive you.

She should take a look at what Mitt Romney is going through. I surprised he doesn't have to go into hiding for daring to vote against Dear Leader.

About all she is worth to me is a big check to her Democratic opponent, Sarah Gideon. I sent that a month ago.
