She cut off her path to bribes and insider trading.

Please make Collins go away?

So what impact does Collins have that helps anyone? Hard to find any.

Liz Cheney has had substantial impact and will be prove correct.

So is she going to blame Trump if she loses her seat? Susan’s only impact was to help destroy America. Would love to see her debate Troy Jackson, but she probably won’t.

www.whitehouse.gov/arcade/ Adam wtf? No shame in their souls!

Her soul, self worth, any dignity or integrity she once possessed.

Like Liz Cheney, Susan Collins has no influence. The only difference is Susan Collins is still serving as a US Senator and getting a big salary, future pension and generous healthcare benefits for doing it. Until later this year at least.

She lost me at "learned his lesson"

I take her point but at the end of the day her level of compromise has limited her influence

She might think she has “influence” but she’s nothing to Trump.

Ah you are mastering clickbait.

Not only that, but she’s wrong: Liz Cheney, and you, had enormous influence with the Jan 6th hearings, building the resistance

If "impact" means turning all of us into servitude of a tyrant's lair, I pity the women of this Congress's despair🦅vote MAGA Minions out🇺🇲

She clearly sold her soul to the devil.

What she is saying is Liz gave up her power and I will do anything to keep mine. FYI:

She had no impact because cowards like Collins were too afraid to join with her.

An after life experience that is hot, hot, hot.

Susan Collins willingly ceded her soul and the only impact she has had can be measured in the misery of tens of millions of people she delivered into misery, torment, torture and death. She can fuck off and make her case to the devil when she gets there. That won’t have any impact, either.

You're assuming Collins has influence. I say no.

And what impact does Collins have beyond being “concerned” as she backs Trump?

Collins' level of impact is set at what she is told to say yes or no to. I doubt there is any respect for her thoughts opinions or causes. She's a husk.

She’s delusional…

Collins is a wicked witch!!

But Lis has something Susan will never have - self respect.

Don’t trust her. Don’t believe a word she says. She is the ultimate trumpophile!!!

Collins‘ impact visualized

What a weak stupid women she is. I always wonder if these people remove all their mirrors so they don't have to look at themselves

I would argue that Collins herself has no influence at this point. These are all no-show jobs for her and her GOP colleagues.

Susan Collins is an American disgrace to our Constitution! She gives the illusion of voting against Trump only after given the okay by GOP to do so. They know her vote will not change the outcome of Trump winning.

Trump is insane. But no one cares. The Republicans don't care that Trump is nuts. The MAGA~base don't care their King Cyrus or Lord&Savior is a dementia psychotic. The "SCOTUS" doesn't care Donald Trump is a ranting old man. NO ONE CARES. It will take a World War or World economic Depression.

Collins is a traitor. She is a sickening two faced liar!

Does Faust sound familiar? Except Collins doesn't care about knowledge or the meaning of anything.

This assumes she has ANY "influence" at all, other than sending "lukewarm letters" about her "concerns". Spare me, Ms. Collins. You're no better than any of the other Quislings in the Republican Party.

Susan Collins needs to not be reelected. She is a disgrace. The people of Maine deserve better

Nvr attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity. I'm going for stupidity + moral cowardice, myself

Yes, insipid is a good one for her. She’s also lil’ Suzie Cream Cheese -so White & Spreadable for the RePUKElican Party!

All she is , is on auto reply... "concerned".....every time. Sometimes she feels "very" concerned but not often. She could easy be replaced by AI. Vote Yes and sound concerned. This can easily be automated eb be nuch cheaper than paying Collins. Same goes for 99% of the other Republicans.

Yet another GOP genius.

To “maintain influence” is the craven path. You either have integrity or you have nothing. This is distinct from the federal employee who “resigns in protest” (thereby giving T-rump what he wants), but should have stayed there and refused to bow; make them fire you for doing the right thing.

At least Liz still has her soul

She’s a buyable POS who got 2 million into her reelection campaign fund the night before she voted to confirm Kavanagh. That’s public record.

Susan Collins is repulsive

Thank you Mr. Kinzinger for everything you have done to represent our country and stand up for the constitution. Collins is like Tillis. Moaning about things now but they were always a trump vote.It’s easy when you want someone to vote for you to say the “right” thing.Yet their vote speaks volumes.

What a cunt.

Liz sacrificed her seat. Susan sold her soul.

All Republicans are worthless garbage.

Well, firstly she has to obey every whim of the blithering idiot. I despise the US politicians who will sell grandma if that means keeping their job #EmperorHasNoClothes / Denmark

Shame on you, Susan! Though I don't agree w/Liz Cheney on several things, I do applaud her for standing tall & strong against authoritarianism & the WH pedophile. You, on the other hand, continue to support a pedophile, felon, grifter, etc. Shame, Susan! Shame on you!

How dare she?

Who in the hell has influence when you're in a cult?

What meaningful moral ethical influence does Collins have? Shes selling out the working class- congratulations Collins, you’re making a difference on behalf of the corrupt $billionaires

A corrupt immoral political organization that represents corrupt greed-driven $billionaires’ interests

"I have to keep my influence" it's Lindsay Grahams all the way down. Maybe this is not a game worth playing (obv preaching to the choir here)

I don't see Collins as anything but an abused pawn. She brings nothing of value to democracy. For whatever reason she allows herself to be kicked into submission by a party of men that wouldn't give her the time of day if she weren't in a position to serve them.

Some people stand up and do what’s right, some people cower Ms. Collins, we will remember

We'll see if Maine voters finally get tired of her act.

What "influence" does Collins believe she has?

She’s like McConnell, dead man walking.

&..BY NOT Taking On Trump Like Liz Cheney, This Is The Results Of Susan Collins' IMPACT 🙄..

Reminds me of house of cards tv series

Well, it certainly couldn't be either morals or ethics, considering she possesses neither. 💩🧠🤡

Why leave out the UK, Canada, Australia and other Commonwealth nations? Let’s at least be intellectually honest.

She had enormous influence with those who have a conscience and knew right from wrong As Collins has none of those qualities, it's no wonder she's not influenced by Cheney.

Her integrity. Our trust. Don't pay any attention to what they say, (and she seems to apologize a lot. Or should apologize a lot.) pay attention to what they do.

Giving up principles to keep your position eradicates your influence. If you are exercising someone else's principles with your power in spite of your own, your are the influencee, not the influencer.

In other words, if you're expecting Susan Collins to become the next Liz Cheney, it ain't happening. You've got better chances of seeing a unicorn strolling down a street with a leprechaun on its back tossing out gold coins to people. She's not too "concerned" and still "haven't learnt her lesson".

if keeping her seat was worth the price of her soul.

Standing up to do SOMETHING was the right thing to do after January 6th. Ignoring the obvious was the inappropriate decision, the whole Republican Party will not even stand up to tRUMP, it’s sickening. Standing by watching tRUMP disassemble our democracy is UNACCEPTABLE.

It's not whether you have influence but how you use it.

She is a gutless coward!

Evil history will never forgive her

mainedems.org/icymi-more-d...

Susan Collins accepted ten$ of thousand$ in donations from known Jeffrey Epstein associates to her campaign, & million$ more funneled into $uper PAC$ from Epstein-connected billionaires Wasserman, Black, Musk, Blackrock CEO. Collins “consistently voted” to block the release of the Epstein files.

Concern troll.

Exactly!

Well, if you’re so determined to have influence that you don’t care whether it’s positive or negative influence on the country, you’re focusing on the wrong thing. She’s power hungry. She’s a moth to the flame.

She’s got a point, her very concerning concerns have had a huge impact in fucking us all over

There is a new ad out called "Every single time she votes for Trump".

Susan Collins makes sure that she has no impact. If there's any chance her action might matter, she doesn't do it. She votes as commanded. Never a vote that matters.

Maybe Cheney would have had more success if Susan Collins wasn't submitting to Trump while pretending to play some kind of long game. Collins is just telling the story that she needs to be true. Aside and completely unrelated: can someone offer a polite alternative to the phrase "full of shit"?

O.M.G. It is not like she's some kind of Sergei Grigoriev. She is making her state poorer, unhealthier and stupider with every passing vote.

Susan Collins has no reason to cast shade on anyone else. She is a closet Nazi--evades, pretends to be upset by the way she votes, makes secret deals. Maine, I hope you are gonna get rid of her!

I would take one Liz Cheney over one hundred Susan Collins.

Susan Collins is the ultimate political “wolf in sheep’s clothing”. She’s a cunning and dangerous politician. VOTE HER OUT!

Considering that Collins has done nothing to stop the worst of this administration, and often has actually supported it, her impact is more pro Trump than against. We have never seen Collins take on Trump.

She needs to concern herself with this.

Susan Collins is “milk toast.” 🤣

The Susan Collins logic is that no fight is ever worth it unless you can guarantee your own survival. The country was founded on the opposite principle. She would have no doubt been carrying water for the King. A weak and pathetic human long past due to be forgotten.

Great post, thank you Adam.

I can still remember Cheney’s face and gravity as she led us through the presentation on Jan 6th, heroically. I can still remember Collins’ voice as she lectured us Trump had learned his lesson. And I remember how I’ve felt at every American death, and immigrant cruelly brutalized.

Integrity? Soul??

Apparently, Sen. Collins feels it is much better to stay and lick tRUMP's balls.

This is 'Collinsspeak' for 'She didn't toe the GOP line/lies.'

Collins legacy will be one thing and one thing only: "I was concerned while America burned 🔥".

She kissed the royal sphincter.

It's simple. Sell your soul, keep the power.

Too many of your former colleagues are willing to sell part of their souls to stay in office. Had Collins and a few others voted differently, Trump would not hold the power he does today. That is influence!

Fuck her Collins impact affected every female

Susan “Saruman” Collins

Collins is a pristine example that simply putting a woman in a position of power will in fact NOT automatically make everything better. Susan Collins is an extreme disappointment to feminism.

She is not a good leader. GOP = Greedy Obscene Parasites GOP = Gaslighting Obfuscating Psychopaths GOP = Groups Of Predators GOP = Guardians of Pedophiles GOP ≠ Good Operating Procedures GOP ≠ Leadership

Susan needs to go

Oh my god what a bitch. I hope this runs 24/7 in Maine

Great article, Collins is the compromise.

When this is over, and one day it will be, Liz Cheney (like her or not) will be one of the few in the GOP that will be electable. Having bent the knee to Trump will be a deal breaker. #Sheshed

Should we be influenced by Susan’s “concerns”?

Is this the part where we pretend Susan Collins has influence? She does what she's told 100% the time & only votes against her party when given permission by leadership because it's already understood that her vote won't change the outcome Mindless subservience is the opposite of influence

Coward

Cheney kept her dignity and self-respect intact and in the end has as much influence on Trump that Collins does.

She’s a fucking ghoul. And soon she will be an irrelevant ghoul.

Utter waste of oxygen yet Maine keeps reelecting her.

Influence<legacy.

Senator Collins had an impact on the history of the US. She approved nominees to the SCOTUS, she approved the cabinet members in the current administration. Her impact on US politics has been decidedly negative.

All MAGA Republicans are evil. If you want to argue for fiscal responsibility I'm good with that - that's conservatism. Great! We can have that argument. Filling the pockets of the rich has NOTHING to do with that argument. Top down economics is killing US and Collins is either stupid or evil. Evil!

🎯🎯🎯

What does it profit a man or woman who gains the whole world but loses their own soul.

Oh cute Adam, writing about Liz... SHHHH no one look here. Well we like what you are doing with your antiTRUMP time. Here a good HORSEY for you. horseytoons.substack.com/p/assault-on...

I’m not actually going to read the article, as I’m not that interested, but I think the short answer is probably ”everything that she hadn’t already compromised long since”.

Well, Sen. Collins was instrumental in providing BILLIONS of dollars for ICE; then had to ignore what was going on in her own state because of ICE. Btw - Maine has approximately 1 million people, give or take. Most cities have bigger populations. How many do you think are illegals? You are right.

Cheney's day will come.

Liz Cheney had to run in Wyoming. Collins runs in Maine, where showing a spine should be much easier. And yet she still chooses to bend the knee. Hopefully Maine will wise up this time and boot this gutless asshole to the door.

She litterally looks more like a sad, evil witch than that actress in Wizard of Oz painted green.
