Big Suze was such a class act that she didn’t even bother to deliver a concession speech. The second she lost, she fuckity-byed it out of there.

BANGOR, Maine — Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) greeted supporters at her election party throughout the night but was a no-show after losing her bid for a sixth term.

Her campaign played Semisonic’s “Closing Time” and began packing up the room without any concession speech from Collins.

      They’re not out of hot water yet. Establishment Dems could still vote Schumer & Jeffries in as speakers while funneling AIPAC money to undermine the progressive caucus in congress.

      They’ll end iran war funding and ICE funding on day 1. But I guarantee they’ll stop at half measures every time unless Americans keep democrats’ feet to the fire.

        I agree completely. We’re not out of the gate yet and there’s going to be bullets, knives, and flung shit from every direction. It’s going to take a full frontal effort on part of blue to pull off America - a LOT of spine. It seems we’ve hired some honest people who’ll be excellent public servants. The way it’s supposed to be. Yay America. I’m proud of ya!

        Exactly. They’re not even out of the starting gate yet.

        However, I am more hopeful than I’ve been in a year. I realize the shitbag isn’t going to let go “peacefully” or any other way - and he’s almost got the military sewed up with most of the leadership treasonous - but damn! It did not expect what happened Tuesday.

        I hope they hit the ground running because the ship is brimming full of rats that need scuttling.

        Two months: the 120th Congress doesn’t get sworn in until January 3, 2027. And those two months are going to be wild.

      They need to prove that they are going to cause major change or is all for nothing. I know my boycott of murikkka is not ending until I see significant change

        You go girl! I’m with ya.! Only problem I have with that is I am in it. Boycotting is not an option, but keep it up. Screw that pumpkin faced blowhard and his whole criminal gang.

        I’m not sure mine will until I die, and certainly not until Trump and his ilk are no longer a concern. That’s simply a national security matter.
