She does it every time. She’s a disgrace.

The acidity in this is brilliant.

Lisa Murkowski is a very serious disappointment. I had the pleasure of working with her years ago and really hoped she would stick to her principles. Sadly, she has demonstrated why Trump is succeeding. With all his nasty divisiveness it’s everyone for themselves. Lisa stuck up for Alaska (as she said she would) but she sold out America and the rest of the Western world. Shame.

Did she stick up for all of Alaska or just the unique white people? What about the native Alaskans?

Lisa and Susan sitting in a tree

Susan says Lisa will you do this for me?

Mainers will fire me if I vote for this crap

So you vote yes and you'll take the rap

And I'll vote no and go back to my nap.

April 2022:

"An Alaska man, Jay Allen Johnson, was convicted of threatening two U.S. Senators, Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, with death threats and threats to burn their properties. He left 17 threatening voicemails over a five-month period, some of which included threats to hire an assassin. Johnson was sentenced to 32 months in prison and a $5,000 fine."

April 2025: Lisa Murkowski: "We are all afraid, okay? I am oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real."

Yes, she IS afraid. For Her Life. Literally. And her family. The shit is real, and it's gone largely unaddressed. There is a vast amount of homicidal lunacy being churned up in he echo chambers out there. Not everyone is cut out for a "your country or your life" moment. Most aren't.

Why is it that nobody is shining more of a light on this insanity? It's a de facto den of Syndicate Ethics up there. "Vote for this bill; if you don't, I can't guarantee what might happen to you or your family. LOTTTTTA crazy people out there..."

This particularly virulent Trumpian strain of extortive influence wasn't nipped in the bud a decade ago, and now it's a fully-grown and clearly palpable atmosphere of Coercion, and not merely the coercion of political gamesmanship where one is putting their reputation, power, position, influence, etc. on the line.

You’re right. dRumpf (I use his grandfather’s spelling to remind everyone of his German heritage) as the so-called ‘leader’ has enabled all those with latent racism, latent misogyny, latent evil to flourish. God help us!

How does she stand up without a spine? How is she alive without a beating heart?

Perhaps when Lisa saya, "more unique" what she means is, violent MAGA who will kill me if I don't vote with the President! We know all too well they do exist!

Unfortunatley, it is the electeds like Lisa, and others, who continue to emboldened our maniacal Felon Fuhrer.

I get it. I railed today against Collins' pearl clutching, then voting against the bill because she knew it would pass. ("I tried, but you know...") But let me present an alt pic here: What if even 2 other R senators had fought for their states like Murkoski did for hers? Or 10 or 20 more? We'd have a very different bill now.

Especially since the vote was tied & our stellar vice-president broke the tie.

Uniquely greedy, uniquely dumb, uniquely amoral, uniquely evangelistic, uniquely HATEFUL.

And I bet she prayed to her god of Love just before she drove the vengeful knife into your Democracy.

Ukraine & Canada are now the leaders of the free world. And speaking of Canada, the road through Canada to Alaska is still closed! Elbows Up Canada!

Self serving. Me, me, me and too bad for the rest. No sense of responsibility for the whole. She is emblematic of the damning mentality of the nation today.
