This Will Be Susan Collins' Legacy

It took Susan Collins almost an hour of bullshit, disingenuous, pandering blather before she revealed, less than shockingly, she would betray Mainers, women and decency with her Kavanaugh vote.
It took Susan Collins almost an hour of bullshit, disingenuous, pandering blather before she revealed, less than shockingly, she would betray Mainers, women and decency with her Kavanaugh vote - this, after thousands of heartsick, enraged Mainers endlessly wrote, called, visited, protested, chanted outside her office and otherwise pleaded she grow a spine and do the right thing. Instead, wrote faith leaders here, "She has bartered her soul for a 'mess of pottage'....wielding her power against the very people who needed her to fight for them." Now this, it is widely agreed, will be her shameful legacy.

Indeed, as Trump said, the only reason to side with the democrats would be because "YOU ARE TIRED OF WINNING"

Susan Collins is a brave woman. I think she even managed to kill the stupid MeToo movement.
I wasn’t, she’s just another that is trying to play both sides of the fence, the milk toast Republicans can’t have it both ways. You can’t believe Dr. Ford without believing Kavanaugh was a black out drunk. It’s lame their trying to claim they support victims of assault, they don’t.

As far as I'm concerned the entire system pretty much did the exact same thing. But americans are imprinted to never question the system itself, so sure, scapegoats are our chosen escape. As she did, they all did to one degree or another, those are the behaviors that are rewarded.

Just because he played drinking games like quarters and devil's triangle doesn't mean he's a black out drunk.

I think Ford is a complete liar. Fabricated the whole thing.

Bart repeated lied throughout the course of the theater of the hearings, even if you take all of the Ford/sexual allegation stuff out of the equation altogether. And as per usual, the people were completely cut out of the process, can't even see what a sabotaged investigation "found" that carefully chose who would be interviewed. We are that 3rd world shit hole Don spoke of, and we did it in front of god-n-everybody. The system may mindfuck the american public, but that only works here at home. The world knows what it saw.

Exactly. Watching the hearings it was easy to see who was telling lies and who was telling the truth.

"Think" is not the right word. "Know" is the right word.

Clutch your pearls and run away like a little bitch because you cannot defend the bitch that tanked the investigation and the blue wave with her little veiny finger

Nope. Because I think this particular cunt is lying. Just like you lie every single day
I love women
My love of women is not predicated on believing some dufus who can’t remember shit.
Sorry, I let the facts guide me
I believed Juanita Broaderrick and Kathleen Willey

Mark Judge wrote that Kav blacked out drinking almost 20 years ago. And devil's triangle is not a drinking game no matter how many RWNJs try to make it one.
I really need to ask again for some proof of that. The last person that tried it actually confirmed it is true.
I ignore sources like the OP that start with and contain such language as junk journalism sources. That said, I still would like to know why Manchin gets a pass?

So what?
Doesn’t make Ballsy claims true
Ballsy was her nickname because of her proficiency with the cock while I high school
She was a drunken whore in high school. I know someone who went to school with her who knows what a liar she is.
Her schoolmates are afraid to come forward and tell the truth about what a whore Ballsy was

Fundraising campaign against Sen. Susan Collins closes in on $3.5 million
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) announced that she didn’t believe Dr. Christine Blasey Ford was attacked by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and voted to confirm. Unfortunately for Collins, however, she didn’t quite vote her state’s interest.
Public Policy Polling revealed Collins didn’t have the voter support to confirm Kavanaugh. Before Dr. Ford testified, 49 percent of Maine voters said they wanted Collins to reject President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick. Only 42 percent supported it.

It's time for senator Collins to retire on her own or be defeated at the ballot box?!!
