Collins complained that “everybody ignores” her vote to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial.
“What bigger break could there be?” she asked. “It is never enough.”
While Collins touted her breaks with Trump, she was also a pivotal vote for key parts of his agenda. She provided a decisive vote to confirm Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018, despite sexual assault allegations that he denied. And though she voted against Trump’s Medicaid-cutting “Big Beautiful Bill” on final passage, she was a key vote to advance debate on it.
She voted to acquit Trump during his first impeachment. She was the final deciding vote. Fuck you, cunt.
None of Trump’s impeachments came close because conviction requires 67 votes in the Senate. His first impeachment only had 1 R vote to convict (Romney) - the total was 48, so they needed 19 more Republicans.
You’re probably thinking of Collins being the deciding Yes vote for Brett Kavanaugh, which she was. Despite claiming that she didn’t want to see Roe v. Wade overturned.
Thanks for voting to put a rapist on the Supreme Court to take away women’s reproductive rights. Bye Felicia
Oh, bullshit. Every time she went against Trump it was managed opposition. She only did it when MAGA knew they already had enough votes, and could let her preserve her “independent” image, and keep getting elected. It’s extremely common in any vote, for both sides.
So spare me the whining about your sacrifice. It was all manipulation, and we all know it.
I’ve saved this on for many years
Expecting praise for doing the bare minimum - impeaching, convicting and removing from office a seditionist and a traitor to the country who was caught red handed committing election fraud, is frankly laughable.
You’re not a child, Susan Collins. You don’t get a gold star just for participating.
she believed he viewed Roe as “settled law” and “settled as a precedent of the court”
You got used and still pushed his policy.
You’re done.
She didn’t get used. They always made sure there were plenty of yes votes to push through the Trump agenda whenever she said no. She never said no when her vote actually mattered. She was playing her constituents as fools.
You’re right. The people always get played.
Susan Collins, one of the token senators who was allowed to vote the other way when it almost always made no overall impact.
Get fucked.
Oh boo hoo hoo Susie now GTFO!
Career politician grouchy she’s not untouchable.
Nothing to see here. Shes done.
Random breaks here and there don’t count. You need to be consistent. You also don’t get points for voting a certain way when:
a) It would have passed anyway without your vote
b) It never had a chance of passing even if you voted for it
Scum.
“I threw a glass of water into the raging forest fire I help ignite! Why won’t you acknowledge that?”
She didn’t even do that she voted to throw a glass of water in an arranged brokered sham vote lol
She had zero problems giving Trump 93% of her voting support after voting to impeachment? Tell me that you voted just for appearances, without telling me you voted for just appearances.
Bitch, we know you only voted to convict because your party knew exactly what the vote would be and how many Senators they could have strategically vote for it without actually changing the outcome.
I wish her the absolute worst. I hope she gets the elder care she voted for.
I doubt she will but that’s a beautiful sentiment
