As a Maine voter for all but one election, she’s right that we value integrity and independence. However for many of us, she stopped showing anything like that years ago, and the Kavanaugh vote was simply the most egregious example.

Susan Collins only bucks her party in alignment with her constituent wishes, when that…

You zeroed in on the exact thing I saw-how does one vote with “integrity and independence” when ignoring one’s own constituents to vote in lockstep with national party leadership?

“Have I lost some votes because of my decision to support Justice Kavanaugh? Yes, I have. And I’m sad about that because I explained in great depth my decision-making,” Collins said. But “there still is an appreciation in Maine for someone who looks at the facts of an issue, votes with integrity and independence.”

These Russian bots are everywhere now

actually when you win it’s good

Dunking on Russians is as American as apple pie

Rolled my eyes so hard I saw my own brain.

No problem!

I honest to God have no idea who you’re arguing with right now.

My cousin’s kids are named Jett and Jax and I want to puke every time I hear them.

Brazil is a badly written airport bookstore thriller.

Thomas Pynchon looked at that name and said “eh, too far.”

During the stoppage, Mokhtari asked the Nancy players to instruct the fans to stop.

It sounds like the “when I was young I walked 10 miles in the snow and rain to school everyday” trope, only now it applies to the next generation.

While most older women I’ve come across in business and elsewhere have been neutral to helpful, there are definitely some in the boomer and older demographic who resent no longer being the token female, the exceptional one, the cute, perky young thing making it in a man’s world. Their whole way of being is obsolete,…

I don’t believe that older women are worthless. I’ve never thought that.

That the injuries were a result of being hit by debris, was the PGA Tour official explanation which all the media glommed onto. It doesn’t make sense. There are photos of the tree afterward which show just strips or small clumps of bark that came off. The bark is relatively soft on a pine tree. The lightning vaporizes…

I’m not sure how well a hospitality tent would handle a lightning strike, either.

When play is stopped for threatening weather the spectators are told to “seek shelter.” But unless you have a clubhouse pass or access to a hospitality tent, there is nowhere to go. There is no onsite parking. Spectators are bused in from remote lots that are often miles away. This tragedy and worse are inevitable.

You’re just realizing that women can be incredibly nasty and backstabbing towards other women on juries (or presidential elections)?
