The Deposed Queen Of Maine

I bet there are tons of people in Maine who are thrilled they no longer have to kiss her ass.

“Everybody ignores the fact that I voted to convict him in the second impeachment trial,” Ms. Collins said. “What bigger break could there be? It is never enough. I want results and they want angry rhetoric.”

On top of dissatisfaction that she hadn’t distanced herself sufficiently from the president, some voters harbored resentment about her vote in 2018 to confirm Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, given his later role in overturning Roe v. Wade.

A good sequence of paragraphs. The only type of results she ever got. Her 'only do something when it doesn't matter' strategy wasn't enough for those ungrateful voters. Unfair!
