Nah. Just kidding.
By the way, you're a fucking traitor.

(819 posts)she was on our side at one point. She was never on our side. Why do so many ever think she will align with our goals?

(22,059 posts)It has nothing to do with political alliances. She's never been an ally of the Democrats.
I think we're in agreement that Collins is part of the problem.

(81,546 posts)You already took a vote AGAINST documents being released until later.
Until later my ass. Watch them say - oh gee, we already voted on this. Were done. Nothing further needed. Time to go home. Bye-bye!!!

(Cruz and Cornyn are my senators. I don't blame you for not spending money in Texas. In fact, I commend you for it.)

(9,500 posts)She knows the media won't call her a liar because "both sides" yada yada yada.

(82,849 posts)Then the switch. The only way Collins votes to call witnesses is if her vote doesn't matter.

(6,812 posts)It is either you support calling witnesses or you dont. No in between. She is playing the same card over and over again.

(25,285 posts)So in the end if she supports calling witnesses - it will be moot.
The only thing is - she can say to her constituents that she was trying to be fair.
