At first I thought I would come up with something witty for this head, you know, the way I usually do, but then I figured, why should I bust my ass for the likes of Susan “Dumb Little Bitch from Maine” Collins? Amirite or Amirite?
Back in the day, a fairly recent day, Susan said of President Donald Trump, as a way of explaining, and explaining away, her stupid, stupid votes first not to hear any new evidence in the Senate’s impeachment trial of Herr Donald (because who needs evidence at a trial?) and then not to convict him of his most grievous, grievous faults, high crimes, and misdemeanors, the following:
I believe the president has learned from this case. The president has been impeached—that’s a pretty big lesson. … I believe that he will be much more cautious in the future.
When it didn’t quite work out that way, Suzie Q had to backtrack a little, to wit:
I may not be correct on that [that the president would stop behaving like an entitled asshole]. It’s more aspirational on my part.
Well, that was back on Feb. 6. Since that time, Trump has removed Glenn Fine, the head of the newly created Pandemic Response Accountability Committee (because we don’t need no lousy, stinking accountability!), along with Michael Atkinson, inspector general for the intelligence community, for the absolutely heinous crime of being honest (Honest! Honest! I’ll show you “Honest”! This is the Trump Administration, motherfucker!). Oh, and Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly has resigned following his decision to relieve Navy Capt. Brett Crozier for the crime of trying to protect the lives of the crew, on the entirely believable grounds that Trump wouldn’t want the captain to do that, and to spare the president the awkward job of canning the captain himself, since the previous Navy secretary, Richard Spencer, had been forced to resign for daring to object to the president’s compulsive coddling of war criminals. Poor Modly didn’t realize that there’s only room for one hysterical, self-involved egomaniac in the Trump administration.
Which should make it clear to everyone, even you, Stupid, Stupid Suzie Collins, that the president has learned his lesson: he’s learned that he can wipe his feet on your face after tromping through manure, and you’ll say “Thank you, sir. May I have another?”
“I’d do anything, anything for you!”
