Q: The shock gloves that ICE is reportedly rolling out using the deescalation funding. Is that the sort of use you envisioned when you passed that bill? SUSAN COLLINS: It's not

I cant believe 45% (or close to) of maine voters are still supporting her! I seethe with anger and revulsion every time i see her speak or even just hear her name. Mind you i feel this way about a lot of people now!

Next question: what are you going to do about it? Collins: Oh, I invested half my stocks into the company making the gloves so if I lose this election I’ll only get a $100 million golden parachute… so clearly I am concerned. —at least that’s what I’d guess she’s thinking.

Uh huh. She’s lived in a bubble, unrelated to facts on the ground. No idea of what ICE does. Comes out of her office and votes, making sure she can’t be noticed. Shadow Senator. Enough.

Forcing people into compliance is NOT de-escalation. What she's describing isn't de-escalation either, so I guess it's OK? De-escalation is calming people down, usually through distraction or conversation.

Obama moved a lot of criminal immigrants out of the country.i don't recall they needed shock gloves to accomplish this. I don't recall innocent American citizens being shot either.

Immigrants dont need to be housed. Anyone who cant be granted an immediate visa, almost no one, can be assigned a court date and case manager. Its cheaper and more effective but the concentration camp model is bipartisan now. For some reason.

I pray to the Power of Wishful Thinking, the Fifth Dimension, that he kick her sorry bunghole into Hell itself. She knows right from wrong and always chooses evil over good. ®️ is wrong. All ®️ is going to Hell in a handbasket Maine can choose to resist the temptation of the ®️ Satanic Cult 💙🌊

Because "Police Reform" never works. All it does is give them a ton of extra money to find new ways of torturing, and harming people arrested, but not tried or sentenced. They get-off on causing pain, and punishing people, even if they're not the guy they were supposed to arrest.

If Democrats want to lose, go ahead and keep running on "Tough on Crime" bullshit, and defend ICE by claiming that you support "Reform" and giving them even more money. Police Reform never works. Maricopa's Sheriffs were given $226M for Reform, and wasted $163M, saying "reform is too expensive".

Follow up How did you not see this coming after three decades doing your job? Your experience should have pretty much all you needed to know where those funds you approved would go.

Why is GOD’S name is this woman doing anything other than shopping for overpriced groceries and gas in some small, innocuous town? How fucked up is this nation right now that THIS is a member of Congress????

Vote her out! She could have seen this stuff telegraphed from day one. If you are that stupid, Susan, you are not protecting your constituents. You are protecting criminals, which makes you a criminal for aiding and abetting.

We've gone from the moue of mild disappointment to the furrowed brow of concern - no, wait, she pursed her lips! The pursed lips of perturbity! *rapid footsteps* *klaxon blasts* WE'RE AT MEHCON 3! I REPEAT, MEHCON 3! *klaxon quiets*

is it possible that she’s just too old and too dumb? I know that’s very un “PC” of me, but I just don’t think she’s smart enough to be actively evil

Well done Susan. Another excellent procedural masterpiece of legislation which worked very well, in giving Trump resources for insane tactics that the Stasi would have shied away from. Future legal historians will find what you did almost beyond human credulity. In a way, you’ll be famous forever. 😞
