That's what we did to Venezuelans.
You know, you look at that, and all of a sudden, this sort of moral grandstanding on behalf of Susan Collins, it just really fucking pisses me off.
As the chairman of the appropriation committee, she has the power of the purse.
She could have stopped anything that Trump has done.
The ICE campaign in Minneapolis that killed Alex Preddy and Renee Good.
The drug boat bombings that we're doing in the Caribbean.
The stupid Iran war.
The triumphal arch.
She could have held up any of that, held up the power of the purse, and she hasn't.
So like, yeah, she voted to convict him, but she also voted to confirm RFK.
She's voted to confirm all these horrible judges.
So I'm just β she hasn't demonstrated any independence on any of this stuff.
And it's a complicated race.
I'm not arguing that there's not any baggage or any ethical considerations to consider.
Like when the question is if Trump was to propose another β
migrant internment camp for people with tattoos in 2027, it seems like Graham Plattner would oppose that and Susan Collins would be for it.
And so that's where we're at at this point.
Not ideal, but that's kind of my assessment of the situation.
I do continue to be concerned that there's more to come about Plattner that's even worse than all this, but TBD.
So do you have any thoughts on that?
