Susan Collins thinks her supporters are suckers.
We don’t.
Let’s make 2020 as unpleasant as possible for her.
And also the core organizing principal should be that “these go to 11” in a world where “51 and Fuck you” is the most recent precedent:

I just put in $200. I live in California, but I used to live in Maine. I am seriously considering moving back just so I can vote against her if she has the nerve to run again in 2020.

HAHAHAHA!!
In the last few minutes, the goal went from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000.

How long is the residency requirement before you can vote in Maine? Because I can get a rental there for long enough to register and vote against her, and I’m seriously considering it.
There’s gotta be a place that rents to pet owners.

I’m interested in contributing to a fund that makes every day miserable for her between now and 2020. Anything like that started yet?

@Corner Stone: I’d be willing to chip in to fund a crowd simply to follow her around in public and shame her.

Reposting from below: I just donated to Heidi Heitkamp’s campaign, FWIW. Brave behavior in a risky election campaign should be rewarded.

Let’s do it for the whole Republican Party. Let’s make it so that everyone in the country has heard they’re the party of rape and treason.

I just donated $20.20 to Collins’ future opponent. I wish it could be 20 million.
If it weren’t for Balloon Juice, the knowledge and the snark and the animals, I would have a much harder time wanting to stay in touch with reality.
I’ve got yard signs for Andrew Gillum and Chris Hunter (candidate for Congress) and am volunteering for Hunter’s campaign. So grateful for the people who are doing way more than that.

Just back from the Pagosa Springs hot springs. Very nice, but it sucked all the anger out of me for now.
It will be back shortly, no doubt. Fuck the fascists.

My happy place at the moment is Nancy SMASH with gavel–the big one–in hand come January.

@O. Felix Culpa: Thanks for the link to Heitkamp’s site. I just donated to her campaign and tweeted to her telling her that and thanking her.

@satby: How is voting residence determined?
From UMO info for students about establishing residency in Maine:

Fitting, as “Up To Eleven” just made it into the OED yesterday:

@eclare: I’m on board with that! Just donated $100 too the unnamed opponent.
Also too, love the bear in the earlier thread.

I donated, and I hope Maine voters fry the bitch.

@O. Felix Culpa: And I just donated to Sen Heitkamp because courageous behavior DOES deserve reward!

@jeert:
Too perfect. And an opportunity to repeat something I noticed a couple weeks back: video volume controls on the BBC.co.uk website all go to 11. They absolutely are ‘avin’ a laff.

OT – I got to meet and talk to Brian Karem today. Super nice guy. Basically, I was doing a divorce mediation on behalf of an elderly man on a second, long term marriage (he had been a widower) – Brian was there to support his mother on the opposite side of the case. We got it settled and I got to meet a journalist who actually confronted Sanders and Trump from the beginning.
He had some neat stories, and as it turns out, he and I are distantly related (Louisville’s pre-Great War Lebanese all tended to come from a specific set of villages).

Made another small donation to the crowd pac; thinking about the effect of publicity of the # of donations that come in on/after October 5.

Yglesias: Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation will delegitimize the Supreme Court — and that’s good
They’ve been a far-right shitshow for years, with notably rare exceptions (and were for decades before Earl Warren). If this gets people to notice how awful it already is, that’s a very slight silver lining.

Since her speech started, the CrowdPac has gone up over $300k, and the ActBlue ME-Sen 2020 Democratic Nominee Fund has gone up over $100k. And that’s with CrowdPac being down for over an hour because the demand crashed their site.
Let’s make sure she can never get an elected position for so much as dog-catcher ever again.

Convinced myself Clarence Thomas would be a “short-timer” on account of being so damaged in the hearings. Yet here he is today, doing his best Thurgood Marshall imitation.

I actually told a bold Trumpist to go ahead and vote Republican, but to remember what they say “Vote D for Democracy or R for Russia!” and then hung up. I think we need to mention Russian influence every day in every way for every Republican treason monkey (not to demean monkeys, who are fine little anthropomorphic gentlemen and ladies compared to Republicans!)…
