Susan Collins is hopeless

Don't count on her for anything.  How is she still representing Maine anyway?


The laws of physics confuse Susan.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE 1/17:
However delightful those moments might have been, along came Susan Collins later Wednesday afternoon to burnish her reputation as the wettest wet blanket in the Senate.
I wonder why the House did not put that into the record and it’s only now being revealed. Well, doesn’t that suggest that the House did an incomplete job then?
It is not possible that the senator is this dumb. The House didn’t add the Parnas evidence into the record until this week because a court hadn’t allowed its release until this week.

What I think is that Collins thought she had a good thing going with her do-si-do about leading a group of Republicans who might just vote to allow witnesses, which would have given her some good-government cover in a trial she felt would end in acquittal anyway. This is consonant with her entire political career, which has been demonstrated to be utterly useless in the face of a lawless president*. Now, though, a flood of evidence demonstrating the president*'s guilt is inundating the Congress and the news, and it threatens to sweep away Collins’s careful middling of her obvious constitutional duties, and she doesn’t like it very much. Enough with Susan Collins. I mean, god almighty, enough.

Amen, Charlie.
