Susan Collins says "After extensive consideration of her nomination, I will support Tulsi Gabbard to be the Director of National Intelligence." So that should be pretty much that.

I noted that Collins was not indicted for receiving the bribe, just the people bribing her.
It was also claimed that she got $200k, but only returned the
$61k donated by the bribers directly.
" Kao, Chen, Lum Kee and their relatives donated more than $61,000 to Collins’ campaign."
What a racket!
Susan Collins is a moron, I mean really and I’m not just saying it out of frustration. Her explanations are always clueless and her constituents keep voting her in. She plays the same game as a sometimes no vote but it’s usually just for show with no results but a shoe in for the Grifter Oligarchs.
As she clutches her pearls Anyone who votes for these nominees are in on this coup. They are all traitors. We see already what the noms will do and are doing. This is a hostile takeover. GOP are traitors and should be tried for treason. All of them.
Love the endless Collins-watch where we collectively think that because she is a woman from a moderate state she will somehow come through and then she never does and then we do it all over again.
Sorry, did anyone expect otherwise from this callow nothing? How many times will she be able to rug-pull the public? She obeys. The end. She serves her owner. Not her voters.
Translate as “after being ordered by the Whitehouse to be spineless I have agreed and am willing to turn our National Intelligence into a Russian asset!
It’s her and it’s not close — RFK is a kook who will probably kill a bunch of ignorant red state folks but Gabbard is the equivalent of putting Russia in charge of our most sensitive national secrets.
If these MAGA/Repubs really believed in their oath of office, they would be willing to "go to the mattresses" and even lose their jobs to protect democracy
I wish she would stop getting attention and journalists would stop reporting on Susan's uselessness. She keeps doing the same thing and the same group of people keep acting surprised. It has to stop.
Shut down the senate. Don't offer unanimous consent for anything, and make them vote on each step. Every day that goes by is a chance some news will break to change the dynamic.
Here's an idea: fill Collins environments in the Senate and her home offices with signs and placards "I DON'T THINK HE LEARNED HIS LESSON, SUSAN!"
Have fun!
Susan Collin and the rest of the Republics will be facing a huge lynch mob and firing squad when the time comes. They'll be no "peacefully in their sleep" for these bastards. Their end will come in pain, terror and misery equal to what they unleashed upon everyone else.
Did ANYONE have a single doubt that Susan Collins would fold, clutching her pearls and exclaiming "She's really learned her lesson!". There's no point EVER expecting her to do the right thing.
Because there were exactly three other Republicans who were nos and she can't be the killing fourth, she can be the 'oh we tried' third, she can be the 'enough opposed one more is icing' fifth, but not the killing vote
Classic Susan Collins: delivering the votes when the GOP needs them, and taking a free shot when they don’t need her vote. It’s a lesson in legislative politics that a surprising number of elected officials don’t quite learn.
She squeaked by because her Democratic opponent was already completely undermined by two other Democrats who ran against her in the primaries. Sometimes Democrats are their own worst enemies
Yeah, Maine Democrats are a complete shambles. You'd think after LePage squeaked through, we'd have stopped assisting the enemy, but no, apparently not.
I swear, I'm gonna start mailing deer poop to their committee offices. It won't do a fucking thing, but it'll definitely make me feel better.
We've had those issues in WA. Nearly lost the land commissioner seat, IN WA, during the 2024 jungle primaries. 2 GOP, 5+ Dems splitting the vote that nearly gave the 2 spots to the GOP. Our state party is Bernie Bro hell.
At this point, who could have possibly thought she wasn’t going to toe the line.
As for gabbard, coming from a slate of amazingly unqualified and dangerous nominees, she could be #1.
I’d be curious to see how many “campaign donations” have rolled in since she expressed her concerns, like she always does to get the money flowing her way. 🙄
Honestly, I don’t see any measurable difference between her and Foghorn Kennedy in Louisiana at this point. They generally vote the same, she’s just less gleeful about her terrible votes.
Senator Collins, most "spineless" resident in the Senate Memory Care Unit, intended "vote" translates as, "after being ordered by the Whitehouse to be spineless I have agreed & willing to turn National Intelligence into a Russian asset!"
Fool America once shame on you. Fool us 300 times,
WTF??

concerning.
*she was just waiting for the check to clear
Can see her paraded down Maine street with head shaved
Have fun!

She hasn’t been a moderate in years.

For the 97th time, I thought "maybe this time", and for the 97th time, Susan Collins demonstrated that she always caves when it matters.
I'm stunned.
=
Gabbard being nominated.
