Collins told Axios that the Senate’s constitutional “advice and consent” duty for Trump’s appointees “means a background check, it means extensive committee investigations and questionnaires and public hearings.”

The moderate GOP senator also said that she would be against Trump making recess appointments asserting it would be a way to “avoid and evade the Senate’s constitutional duty to do advice and consent

Ain’t it funny how she’s only ever held Trump’s nominees to these standards? Hmmm, almost like it’s personal rather than professional. Naw, couldn’t be. /s

with the razor-thin margins in House and Senate, and with the D’s still ACTIVELY STEALING ELECTIONS (in PA they almost got the senate seat but for a 4-3 court vote telling them to knock it off.... look at NV and WI and AZ and house seats in Californication, and???)

with the razor thin margin the Senate, we KNEW that a couple of the commie-in-drag RINOs like this... would raise Cain and screw up President Trump’s cabinet choices

elections count. and when the D’s keep counting fake or illegal votes after the election is supposed to be over, then

When you have 53 votes... Susan’s doesn’t count.

no

without Collins the GOP has about 45 votes, the rest are RINOs and completely unreliable (to put it mildly)

Too bad. Maybe Collins could go on MSNBC and complain about it. That’s about her only option, anyway.

Collins has been a fake from as far back as I can remember. She doesn’t even have enough “Republican” in her to be labeled a RINO...that’s pretty bad.

Wasserman-Schultz, Collins, Cheney, etc...all the cockroaches are coming out of the woodwork.

Sorry but it only takes 50 Senators to vote for a nominee. She rubber stamped every wack job nominee Obama and Biden put up. She has zero credibility claiming she has any concern about the Senate “advise and consent” duties. She abrogated her duty on that role long long ago.

Sounds like this is the time for MTG to keep her promise to release ALL lists to the world. Epstein. Diddy. Payoffs to pols’ bimbos.

DO IT!

We would have 52 seats plus JD Vance..and I think Fetterman will confirm RFK JR and Dr Oz

3 Senate seats were lost by less than one percent, and Kari Lake blew a totally winnable race. That’s really going to sting with these thin margins.
