Apparently Susan Collins's standing has been hurt more than any other Senator in the Trump era:
Sorry not sorry.

This is the type of response from Dems I’m looking for. Call out the damn hypocrisy, for fucks sake. I’m sick of hearing how the GOP is all about National Security and using 9/11 as an excuse when THEY need it, but then give zero fucks about the people who continue to get cancer and die... because of 9/11. YOU CANT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS, MOTHERFUCKERS.

BYE BITCH I had to talk to my exH yesterday and he said that he saw her at some private event a few weeks ago and she was being BERATED by some constituents, and she just looked defeated. LOL. Not sorry. Then he said that most of the people he knows in ME are #teamSaraGideon and of course he is, too, in all ways

My GOP rep was one of four who voted with the dems on the Trump rebuke. I must say, I’m pleasantly surprised. mine too, but he's actually one of the very few moderate Republicans left.

The rally last night was in my hometown. The city and its county have gone blue in the last two presidential elections, because there's a university there, but the surrounding rural areas make up his base; I would bet I went to school with a few people who were there... I miss it sometimes but I'm glad I moved away. One business owner pledged to donate 100 percent of his profits yesterday to the American Immigration Council. www.witn.com/content/news/Restaurant-donating-sales-in-protest-of-Trump-campaign-stop-512845201.html

There are lots of Dems in the rural areas too, but I know a few who didn’t vote in the midterms because “why bother? It’s going red anyway”. My brain explodes, but I kind of get it - I know lots of Repubs in MA who didn’t bother voting because MA goes blue. We have to continue to push for new maps and getting EVERYONE to vote even if they think there’s no chance of it going their way. Particularly near Raleigh. Wake County is grossly gerrymandered - most of the folks I voted for didn’t win during the midterms. It’s incredibly frustrating, but this was long planned by the GOP.

This part, about the statute of limitations running out, makes me nervous that he'll do anything and everything to stay in office. I mean, I was nervous anyway but I didn't realize that the s.o.l. would run out so soon. Of course there's a while litany of other crimes...

NC is seriously fucked up.

Lindsey Graham tweeted that essentially, if you're a Republican, being called a racist "comes with the territory".
Literally everyone is replying with his own "Trump is a racist xenophobic bigot" words and it's beautiful.

His gaslighting is so ridiculously transparent, how can anyone even pretend to buy what he says. It's completely crazymaking.
