Turnip got his little playhouse demolished till he can come up with another excuse. Oh the horror, could it be his mortality isn't the only thing that can hold him back?

Maybe during this election season congress critters can at least look like they've grown a pair till it's over.

At this point, it's probably a calculation that it will help her keep her seat.

Imagine if Obama had called up a Democrat to f bomb them for voting against him.

Bellringer would have lost his mind.

Hypocrisy is dead in Trump's cult. They are incapable of empathy, shame, and embarrassment, just like their cult leader.

If Obama had done a tenth of the crap Trump has done Jeff would have a conniption fit. Mark my words.

@#4 ... At this point, it's probably a calculation that it will help her keep her seat. ...

I agree.

The phone call seems to be the result of Sen Collins representing her constituents, and not representing Pres Trump.

Susan Collins
en.wikipedia.org

... Collins is one of only two Republicans to represent a Northeastern state in the Senate.[3][4] Collins is the longest-serving Republican woman in the Senate,[5][6] and since 2019, the only Republican official holding statewide office in Maine. ...

During the impeachment trial of Bill Clinton, Collins was one of the few Republican senators who voted to acquit him on both charges. During the first impeachment trial of Donald Trump, Collins joined most other Senate Republicans in voting to acquit on both charges. In his second impeachment trial, she was one of seven Republicans to vote to convict Trump of incitement of insurrection. ...

She's looking to be re-elected in 2026.

That's no way to talk to a lady. I hope she recorded it for his impeachment.

LEGALLY (#3) thinks Trump is insane. Maybe ~ that would be hard to disagree with. But right now he's running scared. The Dems are sitting dead-on-ready and Impeachment is on the table. He can't afford to lose a single vote in the Senate.

Idiot! He thought he had it all figured out.

Sens. Josh Hawley (Mo.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Rand Paul (Ky.) and Todd Young (Ind.) " "should never be elected to office again."

When the time comes, that should be 4 sure votes for impeachment.

This lady is such a spineless coward that she will be full MAGA by the end of the month. She will roll over faster than that bleeding tramp Megyn Kelly ...
