I like her natural hair color better versus her light highlights.

Correct. The ONLY reason she's there is that Dems abused the ranked choice voting system to game the vote.

She lost the vote for first place to Trump-endorsed GOP rival Kelly Tshibaka, who had already defeated Murkowski in the Republican primary, so Murkowski ran as an Independent, and enough Dems gave her the second place on their ballots that she was able to win.

what did turtle get in exchange?


He doesn’t look as weak as he would if he voted no and lost anyway, to those not paying attention.

Something tells me he ego is just as high up the food chain as his corruption

He’s in as bad or worse shape than Biden.

Exactly. Thanks for the easier explanation. I usually say Turtle dumped a crap ton of money and changed the actual election system in Alaska to where they counted until Murky won.

When Turtle did this, he cut off Lake and Mastriano and others from any campaign funding.

Whether you get Cocaine Mitch or Mitch the Bitch depends wholly on how his dementia is on a given day. Why he swings so wildly now.

I think Turtle knew Pete had it with VP Vance voting. So this is to make it appear as if Turtle is working with MAGA. Or appearing to be a nice Turtle saving VP JD from having to go to chambers and pull over the car.

Collins voted for 21 of 21 Biden appointees.
Ballotpedia: Collins votes 21 for 21 for Biden Nominees

She didn’t need a reason not to vote for a Republican appointee, she just didn’t want to because she’s functionally a Democrat.

Unfortunately that's probably the best you're gonna get out of Maine. I'd rather have control of the senate than not. Alaska is the problem.

There is too much power.

Trump has the people.

These people all know their jobs are at stake this time. NO one is fricking around.

This right here, he knew there were enough votes with Vance so his vote was meaningless. He will continue to screw MAGA every chance he can moving forward.
