As her populist opponent attacks her ties to Wall Street, Rolling Stone has revealed that Maine Sen. Susan Collins got a $2 million donation from a private equity billionaire the day before making a key vote to advance Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.
Bribe. It’s called a bribe.
She’s such a huge stupid piece of shit
Hmm, this could be significant. The recent batshit crazy SCOTUS ruling that made “gratuities” illegal hinged on the timing of the payment. Basically, they made a distinction between solicitations made to politicians before the act (illegal bribes) vs. Solicitations after the fact (totally legal “gratuities”).
The ruling talks about payments “made or agreed upon” before the act. But simply receiving a payment is now no longer actionable proof of bribery - as long as the payment is timed to come after the act.
Someone here goofed, and sent the payment early. Either by accident, or on purpose to get rid one of the tiny handful of “concerned” Republicans who pretend they are moderate every now and then.
Treasonous traitors all.
all congresspeople are bastards
Not all Congress people are bastards but all Republican Congress people are bastards
every single D has a checkered voting history too. many of them support good causes and they are more likely to negotiate concessions than just hand over the keys to the kingdom for pennies, but when push comes to shove, they will always side with corporations over people. every one of them.
Wait, she’s crooked AND stupid?
Who knew?
What a cunt.
How convenient this is the one senator that just so happens to have a “pro palestine” challenger who is directly tied to actblue and the military industrial complex
It couldnt be coincidence that the only challenger to any senate democrat is running against half dead ghoul Susan Collins, who is already a scapegoat and effectively died in office. We gotta quit falling for this shit.
Notice how every news outlet immediately jumped on platner and is so proud of him for being anti israel? This comes not three months after the same publications were calling zohran a terrorist antisemite for saying much less. Its so transparently a plant.
I honestly cant believe this is what they’re spending their resources on. The immediate media glaze is the biggest red flag I’ve ever seen. There is a dictatorship being solidified in america and they’re still doing psyops to win +80 blue districts. We are so cooked.
Is there anyone that can’t be bought?
Sure, but she’s not known for standing by the principles she claims to hold.
