THIS is just gonna' tie Senator Collins up in knots (the kind they use on the lobster traps)!

"What do I do?
Letter of concern?
Frown at an interview?
Call Mitch for directions?
Warn somebody that somebody may have a lesson to be learned?

SO many decisions!

I live close to his home town. He is approachable and genuinely listens. It’s about time someone had the guts to put their feet to the fire.

He was approachable, congenial, hardworking, down to earth and immensely intelligent.

The antithesis of the Shitgibbon.

Trumpenfuhrer is enraged at anyone superior to him, which is a lot of people.
Doesn't take much to make him look like a turd.
