She should leave the party.

radtek58.bsky.social•1 day ago

Many Alaskans aren't real happy with her right now.

1silvergirl.bsky.social•1 day ago

At this point I have to think they're playing Good Cop Bad Cop. They're all a sham.

gsulli6873.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Ease up, Mark. At least this shows she is far braver than her GOP compatriots. Stakes are high; we need the allies, and I suspect she'll pick up her pace from here.

cardude.bsky.social•1 day ago

Seriously. She can fuk right off like the rest of them

jlp2024.bsky.social•1 day ago

Agreed

She cannot be trusted. She can concern herself with her terrible decisions

tcishere.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes, Senator, fuck your tummy troubles. Only you can prevent asshole fires.

johngage1.bsky.social•1 day ago

But Senator Collins was “concerned”.

Straw votes at these moderate Republican town halls on switching parties would be interesting

leoglickman.bsky.social•1 day ago

Nah. It's on balance a good thing she said that.

falllight.bsky.social•1 day ago

I know emotions are high right now but don’t be ridiculous. Murkowski voted to impeach the first time and she is someone we want to welcome.

forrepdemruleoflaw.bsky.social•1 day ago

Do something. Otherwise, just be quiet (I really mean STFU).

experimental22.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Yes, Lisa Murkowski is a traitor to the United States of America, and history will remember her as such.

mcopelov.bsky.social•1 day ago

👇🎯 No, I don't want to hear about her 2021 impeachment vote. I don't want to hear about her "moderate" stances or how comments like this might alienate her. I want to hear, now, what she is doing to end the Article I crisis & stop Trump from dismantling 🇺🇸 government, institutions, & democracy.

advocate42.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yep. Do something or step aside.

mike-in-the-box.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm pleased to see Murkowski's statement. Unlike Collins, who is a true fascist boot licker, Murkowski really was a moderate. Yet, she's been voting for Trump's worst nominees, I think because she's scared of being killed. Statements like this are helpful because they burn that bridge for her.

observerbs.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah, I mentioned this earlier. Murkowksi owns every death in Ukraine, every Federal firing, and all the suffering to come. Ruth Ben-Ghiat put up a post pointing out that the Republicans can make it tough on Trump and Musk any time they want.

piattodelgatto.bsky.social•1 day ago

Also, she's not even blaming Trump. (She appears to be blaming Marco Rubio.)

archvillain.bsky.social•1 day ago

Absolutely. Crocodile hand-wringing. There are steps she could take to follow her conscience. The fact that she never takes those steps tells you that all of this taking umbrage is strictly performative. She's nothing but a hypocrite until she proves otherwise.

kevingan52.bsky.social•1 day ago

Please switch parties. Your party has left you, so become an independent and caucus w Democrats. You’re an honest person—please stop enabling the toxic mess and criminality.

emwhitley.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Thank you for keeping us on the path.

bluegrin.bsky.social•1 day ago

In 2017 she stood by as Ryan Zinke let the Mayor of the Bikini Islands loot the Trust fund that her dad had been instrumental in setting up for the people.

She's not just destroying her own legacy, but her family's

She's one of the fucking worst. Blah blah blah ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.

under-where.bsky.social•1 day ago

Nothing makes switching parties more appealing than the party you might switch to shouting “fuck you this is your fault!” every time you do something that aligns with their values.

under-where.bsky.social•1 day ago

We need 4 R Senators to flip the majority. We should welcome the first 4 who do as national heroes. Save the “fuck you” energy for the 5th.

cardude.bsky.social•1 day ago

Sure, like that’s gonna fucking happen. You can coddle and cozy up to the dictator party, but I’m not.

leoglickman.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's not that at all. If a Republican stands up and publicly confronts the president, you don't have to lavish praise on it, but it's better that it happens than not happens.

mrmoa.bsky.social•1 day ago

Honestly, they don’t give a shit about what people like us think. The real tell is that she feels comfortable in going public. She knows which way the wind is blowing.

socio-steve.bsky.social•1 day ago

She is not doing anything at all. It's cheap talk. She is also not a voter. We don't need to welcome her to anything. She is a United States Senator with an oath the constitution that she repeatedly ignores. She needs to do her job.

thom-kingsfan11.bsky.social•1 day ago

Right.
Murkowski’s statement is meaningless unless she is willing to switch parties or resign.
The U.S. is in a crisis, she admits it, and is one of 100 Senators who can exert unique influence.
While the statement is a beginning, it is not nearly enough.

markstatman.bsky.social•1 day ago

She needs to be reminded of sticks and stones if she wants some respect. Because all she’s done with her words is make a worse-off world.

tonyahamilton.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Exactly right. Thank you for saying this. Damn these hypocrites.

ellz.bsky.social•1 day ago

Truth

tamhodge.bsky.social•1 day ago

Correct course or zip it.

kelly363.bsky.social•1 day ago

100% agree !
If Murkowski is so “sickened” she could immediately draft & submit articles of impeachment and marshal the votes to impeach the tyrant dictator wannabe

erbeckman.bsky.social•1 day ago

Exactly! The only thing I want to hear from her is that she's found 3 R Senators and 3 R Representatives and the 7 of them are committed to shutting this shit down.

thewhitebook.bsky.social•1 day ago

Any minute now, Susan Collins is going to tweet about how “very concerned” she is.
