Sen. Susan Collins (R, Maine) tweets to Trump about his plan to issue tarriffs on Maine...........

[riversedge]

Every once in a blue moon, Collins votes with Dems, but for the most part she bends her knees to Trumpy.



Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins
The Maine economy is integrated with Canada, our most important trading partner. Certain tariffs will impose a significant burden on many families, manufacturers, the forest products industry, small businesses, lobstermen, and agricultural producers.

For example, 95 percent of the heating oil used by most Mainers to heat their homes comes from refineries in Canada. The Air National Guard Base in Bangor depends completely on jet fuel and diesel from Canada. From fisheries to potato farmers to paper mills, these tariffs will have a significant impact on Maine’s economy and risk increasing costs for our residents.

I am working with the Trump Administration to help its officials better understand the potential ramifications of certain tariffs on Maine and to find out more about their implementation, scope, duration, and other important information, including any exemptions they may make for northern border states, certain industries, agricultural producers, and others who rely on trade with Canada.

1. Kinda late don't ya think...

[TheBlackAdder]

48. Sen. Collins is concerned: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 375 times, shame on me.

[boston bean]

2. She is complicit in her owns states decline.

[Irish_Dem]

4. She sold her state out for bribe money and power.

[boston bean]

18. I have no concern for her or her voters.

The ones who don’t support her, I have empathy for.

[usaf-vet]

44. She sold us all out repeatedly.

Worthless from day one in my opinion.

[usaf-vet]

49. Here is a message we should all deliver to the Democrats who are just sitting on their hands.

Start holding townhalls and telling your constituents what is happening!!!!!

[Irish_Dem]

53. GOP senators sold us all out. For money and power.

Turned us over to the fascists.
And they didn't even think twice about it.

I hope the greatest generation haunts them for eternity.

[Irish_Dem]

3. Trump said there would be disruption but people wouldn't mind.

They would understand.

Hey Susan Collins aren't you listening to your new lord and master?

[kerouac2]

5. Cya ain't gonna cut it

She is part of the problem. And I find it deeply concerning.

[stillcool]

6. wow. She's concerned about Maine?

[NoMoreRepugs]

7. Sorry, but when you continually re-elect a buffoon what do you expect?

[iemanja]

8. Trump doesn't care about states that voted for Harris.

That you can guarantee.

[Rebl2]

9. Good

luck with that Susan.

[tetedur]

10. Susan, Susan, Susan . . .(shakes head). . . .When you voted for him didn't you realize this was going to happen?

But I tell you what, when the vote is close and Trusk needs every Republican to line up and salute, You dear lady can raise your hand and use your mouth and say, "But I need something for my constituents. . . ."

[bucolic_frolic]

11. "others who rely on trade from Canada"

We all do, to some extent.

[Harker]

15. A quick look in our fridge is all I need. n/t

[dalton99a]

12. Susan, tell Canada to join the United Trumpland and enjoy UnitedHealthcare healthcare

[patphil]

13. Senator Collins is unable to stand by her positions for more than a couple days.

I expect her to support these tariffs after she's assuaged her conscience by objecting.
What the people of Maine see in her is beyond me.

[Bristlecone]

14. Tweeted because he doesn't take her calls

More fecklessness from the emptiest suit in the senate.

[tetedur]

25. To be fair, she isn't his type.

I don't think he is her type either.

[Drum]

16. This is on Maine's voters.

[mainer]

22. Yes it is. But remember we also elected Angus King

And good liberal Chellie Pingree.
We have a very liberal south and coast. But up in the rural north, where there's a lot of poverty, they went for Trump.

[Drum]

23. Oh for sure! There IS some quality representation there...

…but the blind-spot re Collins is a real WTF

[Raven123]

17. Isn't that cute

Collins thinks she can educate the Trump administration. They stopped listening to her when she lost her integrity.

[underpants]

19. Concerned, got it.

[Upthevibe]

20. riversedge...................

So I guess she's concerned!

I'm so sick of this lady and her lack of critical thinking skills and her cravenness

[Autumn]

21. So much concern. She will be fine though. His tariffs won't impact her

so her show of concern is her way of brushing it off.

[Aviation Pro]

24. Awwww, she's showing some concern

Go fuck yourself, you little shit.

[AverageOldGuy]

26. Maybe she could hit him with her hanky?

[tanyev]

27. Newsflash, Suzy. Donald Trump doesn't care about you or your constituents.

[claudette]

28. Too bad honey

You support him. You suffer too

[rambler_american]

29. Hey Susan

Maybe lobby for Canada to annex Maine and the rest of New England into the Maritimes. I'd love that.

[Scrivener7]

30. Those who voted for you have screwed themselves. Nice of you to point it out to them.

Maine's not a wealthy state. This is going to hurt a lot of people, very badly.

[genxlib]

31. Not to worry

There will be a brisk trade in face eating leopards.

[ananda]

32. Typical Republican... it only matters when it happens to you.

Ugghh

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

33. Too little, too late.

You had your chance to get rid of this rat bastard forever during his first impeachment. He would have even been replaced by a relatively decent (by Repug standards) man.

Now, however, even if he ceased to exist -- a four engine flame out of Air Force One in the middle of the ocean, veggie state caused by one of his slices bouncing of a tree and smacking into his head, choking on a KFC chicken wing -- we're stuck with Mini-Evil and his eyeliner (imagine Alice Cooper as prez).

So fly back to your constituents, Sue, and explain why you didn't cut this piece of crap off at the knees when you had not one, but two opportunities to do so.

[sakabatou]

34. Of course it'd be concern troll Collins

[birdographer]

35. My confession...

I have a very snarky side. I posted here a while ago about an ex-friend who felt obligated to send me a message via a forum site that “Trump is in” when he won the election. We had parted ways when I found out she was a MAGAt. She had told me “Good luck being poor when Biden raises gas prices”—which is stupid in many ways, including the fact that when she said it, Biden had dropped out.

She lives in Maine.

I confess that I am loving this for the very petty reason that her gas prices retort is hopefully going to come back and bite her in the ass. (Yeah, I know, she will blame it on Biden…)

End of confession.

[A_Woman_from_MI]

36. Isn't there a rule

or maybe it's a law - you can't say Susan Collins without using the word "concern?"

"...and risk increasing costs for our residents." I don't think this is a risk, I think it's a surety. But why is she only now working to help officials understand? Little late, ain't it?

[Blue Owl]

37. Tough shit Suse -- Dump is on his throne

[pfitz59]

38. She brought this horror on herself

She can clutch her pearls all day, doesn't brighten her dark heart.

[NNadir]

39. What's gotten into Suzie Creamcheese?

[erronis]

42. Ah, The Mothers of Invention.

I had my Freak Out album until about 20 years ago - trashed by some ex-so.

[JoseBalow]

46. Nice!

[LudwigPastorius]

40. Susan is concerned about that leopard that...

she didn’t think was going to eat her face.

[littlemissmartypants]

41. What part of psychopath doesn't she understand?

[hatrack]

43. "If only Stalin knew!!!!"

Whatever, Concerned One.

[Bozvotros]

45. Hey Suzy, shouldn't you be raiding the Maine treasury for a substantial bribe?

Your concern is no longer valued by anyone, least of all Trump and his stooges. They won't consider anything unlesss it is preceded by a large unconditional "donation" to him. But save your money and concern. Trump hasn't forgotten your impeachment vote. He is looking forward to punishing Maine and your constituents.

[usaf-vet]

47. Is there a new forum on DU That I don't know about. This Susan Collins story has to be in the new joke forum.

In my opinion, this is a joke, and we should all know the punch line. SHE WILL FOLD with some excuse.

[roamer65]

50. Stupid idiot needs to be thrown out of office.

All she is worried about is her re-election chances.

[Emile]

51. Still blowing smoke out her ass.

[Oneear]

52. Word has it that in Maine Van Buren Caribou Get their Electric Power from Canada

So, Senator Susan Collins, will these towns lose their electricity?

[Martin Eden]

54. Sounds like Susan might be concerned

Possibly clutching pearls.

[Emile]

55. LOL

[UpInArms]

56. Susie is just some kind of stupid
