The repulsive Susan Collins has announced in her typical style her intention of voting both ways today, for Trump's non-starter wall and for the bill that Nancy Pelosi passed in the House of Representatives which does not have money for the wall. I don't know when that vote is scheduled but, as you can, you can count on Susan Collins to be cowardly and hypocritical, merely relying on the Maine media to present her hypocrisy as principle. I think she's gotten lazy with the media covering her shame, it's what they've done for her all along.
My other Senator, Angus King, correctly and honestly points out why letting Trump get away with this monumentally irresponsible and treasonous stunt would be only to invite him to do it again and again.
King bluntly said on CNN that he would oppose the Trump plan, saying the Democratic caucus fears government shutdowns “will become the routine way to do business around here” if they cave to the president, adding that the new asylum changes represented a “typical” late shift by Trump to gain leverage.
“Now, we’ve got something that really makes it impossible to vote for,” he said.
I'll say this for Angus King, I didn't much like him as governor as he was quite a little to the right of me (little did I know how bad it could get) but he's been a very, very good Senator. I've been extremely proud of him in that office.
Susan Collins can always be counted on to do the right thing, sometimes, occasionally, when it doesn't matter and she's afraid that not doing the right thing might cost her an election and she'll go on all the talk shows doing her patented dance of indecision and her shameful act leading up to it. She is an empty suit and a hypocrite and the voters of Maine should be ashamed that they've been suckered into keeping her in the Senate. She should get the boot she so richly deserves.
