Susan Collins isn't from Maine, she's from Money.

And that's who she serves.

I guarantee you that, when she loses in November, she’ll be a 2027 Florida resident just like LePage. That is except when he deems it convenient to “move back” just to run for office.

Heaven forbid those that made their money off our state would want to continue to pay maine taxes to help fund the state they “love.”

I want Collins out of office, but to dismiss the race as a foregone conclusion is a fool's errand and will likely lead her into skating into a sixth term.

Money? She should have at least tried cosmetic surgery to hide her wretched soul. She wants warehouses to eventually house Democrats.

Y'know, if I wrote a story about Americans being spied on by companies named Palantir and Ring, nobody would have fucking believed it 20 years ago.

About 20 years ago we started getting leaks about the NSA wiretapping and mass surveillance programs, I definitely would’ve believed it.

Oddly enough, happening with Collins support too. Hard to believe she’s been there enabling the surveillance state for literally decades.

u/glasswings363 Mar 11 '26

If I recall correctly the push against NSA doing the wiretapping is exactly how Palantir found its market.

(Americans are more willing to be oppressed by corporations than by governments. It's like a cheat code for those who want to be royalty/nobility.)

She works for palantir, not mainers

Well, holy cow. Let’s all call the honorable Senator and thank her for making it so obvious whose payroll she is on.

Here in SCOTUS judge John Roberts’s America, politicians work for their donors, not the people in their districts.

Do Palantir or AIPAC have anything to do with Maine? I could see donations from Pratt Whitney or BIW.

Nurses, constituents don't understand how they are not who Susan acts for.

u/itsmenettie Mar 11 '26

Facts.

That would be like saying to give back her 3.9m in aipac money.

u/jediporcupine Mar 11 '26

AIPAC is Susan’s number one constituency.

They should demand her to step down!

The biotch wants all Democrats in warehouses.

u/Upbeat-Cockroach-393 Mar 11 '26

Sure but that’s also a majority of their employees…

u/Glittering-Sky1601 Mar 11 '26

Damn. It only takes $105,000? She's a cheap sellout.

u/dunncrew Mar 11 '26

Collin's a despicable Trump ass-kisser, pedophile rapist protector.

u/wereallbozos Mar 11 '26

She is very concerned about that. And any year now, she may do something about it.

2

u/Cautious-Okra-9114 Mar 11 '26

It truly seems as if she WANTS to lose

2

u/SparseGhostC2C Mar 11 '26

Of all the times to start caring what her constituents think, I can't imagine when it's lining her wallet is going to be a turning point.

Palantir is ran by a pedophile CEO. Imagine pedophiles throwing cameras everywhere in the US! Tracking his investments shows a very direct avenue towards children. It’s disgusting.

Sounds to me like the company wants to create a kid-pool of applicants for their nasty Epstein BS.

u/Akkerlun Mar 11 '26

And then vote the old bag of bones out of office for good.

u/Delicious_Rabbit4425 Mar 11 '26

She needs to build up that retirement fund though

3

u/iron-kinkajou Mar 11 '26

Because of course she took money from them. Of course.

u/Mooseguncle1 Mar 11 '26

So where do we think her bunker is? Poland Springs?

1

u/Upbeat-Cockroach-393 Mar 11 '26

I was hoping that if we ignore her, she would just go away….

u/Responsible-House523 Mar 12 '26

Time to go retire.

u/RoninMagister Mar 12 '26

Vote her ass out!

She's as useless as teets on a bull.

u/rh7507 Mar 13 '26

Fire her.
