I would vote for you but I'm concerned and wholeheartedly disappointed about your inability to act according to the danger you obviously perceive.

Does she actually believe her own BS? Does she sleep at night? Does she ever look at the consequences of her LACK of concern for the path before us? Or does she listen to the sweet nothings from her right wing husband and rest quietly?

Susan needs to go.

That could conceivably cover “Wholeheartedly Disappointed”

But still not quite red enough for a Sternly Worded Letter.

7. Is "disappointed" more serious than "concerned"?
Mon Jan 6, 2020, 02:25 PM

Does she have a scale, like the old terror alert system?

Concerned
Disappointed
Disheartened
Worried
Distressed
Saddened


Does she ever get to the point where she actually does something?

each one has to have a qualifier - mildly, regular, terribly, deeply, greatly.

Also, are we sure of the order of the six you've suggested? I mean, is worried better or worse than distressed, etc.?

And let's not forget the final "alert" - after hair on fire red. Green/votes party line/as usual.

You know, I think she's more spineless than Lindsey Graham. At least he's spineless because he's probably under duress. (Has anyone checked his blinks for SOS signals when he's talking to the press?) Collins is just plain old spineless.

Or as I like to say.

Cowardly. Spineless. Traitors.

if Collins could provide a color scale from green to hair on fire red, it would be helpful.

Or not really. Because no matter what she says about how she's feeling, she will vote the party line. She's a friggin' parody of herself.

Into the harbor with the rubbish, I say! That's typical old school New Englander from what I recall.

She needs to be confronted by Mainers, they need to ask her how she can prove she's been acting in their interests... and show them on the ground. None of this pile of papers and, "here YOU read it" BS. Make her prove she's earned her wages. She's way past overdue for retirement. She's miked the taxpayers long enough.

I read a while back about susan collins' husband being involved with the Russian Oligarchy in Alaska. Can anyone follow-up on this?

I wonder how many other Senators are involved with the Russian mob? Dems need to dig deeper on these connections and expose why they're protecting Hair fuhrer.
