I live in Maine and really don’t have much use for her, but she gets it right once in awhile.....she voted to confirm Gorsuch and she voted for the Trump tax cuts.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.” - Marcus Tullius Cicero This is why I am happy that Senator McCain has passed and that Senator Flake will be out of office this November.
May you be right.
The life we had when one switch of a party or one special pork rider to a bill would save or kill a piece of legislation in the 1990s has been back due to the late McCain and ones like Collins-—too ditzy to keep her mind on her role as a GOP senator, so flits back and forth wringing her hands.
The VP can never stray far from DC because a tie vote may be announced at any moment.
One thing worse: the American voters voting Dems (God forbid) to a majority. They all vote as a 100% bloc.
The root cause of our Jerry Springer Senate is the 17th Amendment.
