Endlessly back and forth,... back and forth.

But the only thing that really matters is that each and every point she scores is recorded to benefit Orange Mussolini. Her final vote is always registered to benefit the orange shit-stain.

They could have written this statement for her and saved her the trouble.

I think she does this stuff just to get free publicity.

She votes show her to be a stooge for whatever trump or mcconnel want. Ive never heard her say anything noteworthy.

She’s figured out a really convenient niche. Dangle some mavericky sounding pearls and she gets national press coverage. The pundits get to build up suspense. “Is collins going to stand up..”

That will never happen. She’s playing us for fools and winning.

...imagine my surprise when he didn't follow through with it."


In other words....you are clueless and constantly getting hood winked and have no business representing your state.... or.....

You are in on it and grifting your constituents, in which case, have no business representing your state.

Either way, end result is the same.

The only "motion" here is that Susan Collins has moved one day closer to unemployment. And it can't come soon enough.
