She had opportunity to resist during hearings, when she actually could have impact, now she pretends she cares, piece of shit

Can't fucking trust any of them to do the right thing at the right time. It's always because they're too fucking stupid to critically think before shit gets bad. Every single Republican should be removed from Congress, one way or another. They just can't handle the job.

They always fall in party line no matter what. Her comment here was during town hall meeting where her constituents we asking why she didn't do anything.

Agree about voting them out, but I think we should primary out a lot of old Democrats who do nothing, but wag their fingers. We need more people like AOC & Bernie.

It's a performance, they're not dumb, they just pretend to be concerned and occasionally vote against the party when it doesn't endanger the majority.

So will she start voting against things? I read that only 4 Rs need to actually put country over party to stop this shit with the dems.

Want to stand up? Publicly announce now that you will vote to convict him on an impeachment resolution. There will never be an impeachment resolution going through the House now. Even if there was somehow Republican support for it, it would die in the Senate. But if half of the Republican Senators came out and publicly said, "are are willing to vote to convict Trump and remove him from office now. Send us an impeachment and we will quickly hold a trial and convict him."

THAT is what standing up as a Republican senator actually looks like right now. Until she is willing to do that, she's just another traitor to the Republic.

I AGREE with her! I ALSO agree with her Decision to Continue in Lockstep Supporting the Republican Administration!

The lack of urgency in these legislators to react to the biggest story in government is incomprehensible. They seem to want someone else to solve the problem so they can just keep coasting along naming post offices.

When the day comes I would still line her ass up for the guillotine
