    Jesus Christ. Another one. Startling how many today can't seem to grasp the notion that a strongly-worded political opinion does not necessarily need to be assigned to a "side" in our partisan political pissing wars.

    Sorry, but that's not what his posts here are about at all. And the dude's had many past posts being equally and more critical of our interventionist policies during the Reagan, Bush and other Republican presidencies,

    So Collins appears to be a Yes, having lunched with leadership earlier today. That frees up Murkowski to vote No and DINO Joe to be a Yes man. The only consequence of a No by DINO Joe is that it would require Daines to cut short his time at his daughter's wedding reception or something so he can vote in the extended period on Sunday. And so DINO Joe will be the Yes man he has always wanted to be for his boy Trump. Pathetic.

    I bet he's going to ace the initiation.

    If Manchin is smart, he'll vote no. His vote won't be decisive. Republicans who'd still be angry about it after Kavanaugh is confirmed would never vote for him anyway. Whereas a yes vote will lose him Democratic voters he needs.

    Collins is playing the "you mean Democrats made me do this!" card.

    Either Collins doesn't plan on seeking re-election or she knows the landscape and doesn't think there are any credible challengers in Maine.
    This long national nightmare is about to be over. Thankfully.

    I d0 want to know how Flake carves out a spot as a third-party candidate or GOP challenger for POTUS in 2020.

    Just watched a documentary about that, called Hitler’s People.

    Pretty damn chilling.

    But, show me some active Zyklon B chambers in the US and crematoriums, and I’ll believe your comparison to be more realistic.

    Just rounding up people for deportation isn’t enough.

    Separating kids from parents was too far. I’m way, way in agreement on that.

    Hey, tf, you’re a good person. Are you a US or Canadian citizen, or somehow both?

    Yeah, let's wait until we see the gas chambers before we get too worked up.

    Collins is furious that her yes vote possibly will have negative consequences for her. She went around the bend about that campaign fund started for her 020 opponent to be activated if she voted yes (it's at 2 mill now, but I bet it's growing healthily). All Senators verge on egomania, but she's one of the ones on another level.
