Trump Badly Screws Susan Collins as Maine ICE Death Takes Darker Turn
Collins cast some recent votes that can help likely Democratic challenger Troy Jackson tie her to Trump and to ICE. And there’s evidence that both liberals and moderates will listen.

This pitiful, waffling woman has NO conviction. She's an opportunist, mindlessly following the Republican crowd. Susan Collins: "There's no doubt that ICE needs to improve its performance, but those who are calling for ICE to be abolished are ignoring absolutely vital safety work that ICE does."

Steve Martin paraphrased: I could tolerate any insurance seminar. For days, I could sit there and listen to them go on and on with a big smile on my face. They'd say, "How can you stand it?" I'd say, "'Cause I've been to Trump's State Fair, I can take anything."

Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.
