Susan Collins is confused, concerned, and doesn't understand why trump

would endorse Paxton over Cornyn. She called Paxton "ethically challenged". Of course she also said it was the president's call.

Can anyone enlighten Sue about why trump would prefer the ethically challenged candidate?

If you don't understand that by now, you're probably not qualified to be in the government of a free and just society.

if you don't understand that that human shit is the come-again Jesus Christ for 70,000,000 or so Americans, you don't understand that this is no longer a free and just society -- it's not even a society that is trying to advance to that higher ethical position any longer.

In short, Trump is the shit, but America (thanks to Trump) is the shithole.

Slang (British/Northern English): A colloquial term for "plastic", or an adjective meaning "fake" or "not genuine". For example, a "plazzy Scouser" is used in Liverpool slang to describe someone who isn't actually from the city but tries to imitate the accent or identity.

ie Birmingham (often extended to including the overall area known as the Black Country and those accents).

It is not just accents, btw, but words, expressions, idiom, and syntax as well.

Multiple videos on different UK accents, etc:

You can't trust anything she says either. Next thing you know she'll be kissing Paxton's ass.

It is time for you to go home and retire. The fact that she doesn’t understand that Trump is the most corrupt president in USA history is proof she should retire now.

really have they keep voting her in? I didn’t realize Maine was that Republican. But it does seem she might have hit a wall. I would doubt she can make it through another election. She is so feckless.
