      >Murkowski told reporters that she hoped the House would send the bill back to the Senate so they could continue working on it. “My hope is that the House is gonna look at this and recognize that we’re not there yet,” Murkowski said, revealing just how misguided her support actually was.

      >When asked why she voted to pass the bill if she thought it wasn’t ready, Murkowski said, “Kill it and it’s gone.”

      >“There is a tax impact coming forward. That’s gonna hurt the people in my state,” she added.

      She knows this is going to hurt her constituents and still voted for it.

      What bullshit. This is why we need to drop this old folk and get some younger people into office.

      She decided to kick millions of people off of Medicaid once she got tax breaks for whalers.

      It’s no surprise she doesn’t care about poor and working class people in Alaska.

      * In her most recent election cycle, only 4.43% of her funding came in the form of small individual contributions of under $200.

      * 55.80% came from large individual contributions of over $200.

      * 32.5% came from PAC contributions.

      Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins do this dog and pony show, pearl clutch/handwringing will-they-won’t-they BS all the time. They only vote against the party line when it won’t change the outcome of the vote. It was Murkowski’s turn to be the bad guy.

      There’s no other way to say this:

      The threats and intimidation by MAGA and Trump worked. The bullies won by bullying.

      She sold the American Taxpayer out and did her part to continue the destruction of the US dollar (down over 10% this year now, probably end up down ~~16% with this BBB implemented).

      What a sell out. Hope she feels good knowing she just fucked over millions for her state “support.”

      No fuck that. You cannot vote Yes on a shitty bill that hurts your state, with the expectation that the House then votes No, because it’s a shitty bill, and makes adjustments to make it a better bill for you to vote on again later. Then when the House votes Yes, blame them for passing the shitty bill and feel guilt free about it. Fuck that. You voted Yes, you own that you voted Yes.

      You. Could. Have. Voted. No. But. You. Voted. Yes. This. Is. On. You.

      GOP legislators are a joke, from, “ I didn’t know that was in it “ “ I didn’t read it”, “ I don’t like it, but going to vote for it” to house saying senate will fix it, senate saying the house will fix it, what a bunch of useful idiots. “Murkowski told reporters that she hoped the House would send the bill back to the Senate so they could continue working on it. “My hope is that the House is gonna look at this and recognize that we’re not there yet,” Murkowski said, revealing just how misguided her support actually was.”

      Hedaing her instructions to improve the budget, the House should start by removing the carve outs Murkowski negotiated that apply only to Alaska.

    25. movimike on

      the latest in a pattern of calculated avoidance. In moments where principle demands resolve, Murkowski chooses to defer, delay, or delegate the hard decisions to others. Rather than casting a decisive vote or championing a difficult position, she frequently opts out of doing her job. It’s an abdication of the responsibilities voters entrusted her with. We are being lead off a cliff by lemmings.

      Both her and collins‘ moves are ridiculously predictable. they aren’t for the people whatsoever, all they are is, (individually and collectively), both one of trump’s multiple bi*$%&s. Both, (but here, murkowski), always puts on this kind of, „I’m against this bullshit that’s against the people, but I’m going to work hard to make it happen, and fool my idiot constituents into thinking it’s a good thing, in THEIR best interest, (not just the ultra-rich, wink wink.)“, and the dumba$z people in Alaska and Maine keep falling for it over and over again.

      I’m not American so bear with me. I just don’t understand why she is being singled out when there’s like 50 of them that voted for this. I get it, she’s totally a selfish individual but how is she more responsible than the other 49 assholes?

    29. jgilla2012 on

      I hate when articles like this pin it on one Senator.

      50 of them voted Yes on the bill, who cares who the last one to sign up was? This belongs to the entire Republican party, not to Lisa Murkowski alone.

      Direct your attention to the actions taken across the entire party, not just to one person.

      There are so many people in this country who are wage slaves. They want to stand up and protest, but they have mortgages, and kids needing braces, and student loan debt they are paying off. Murkowski is 68 yrs old today. Her term doesn’t even end until 2028, when she’ll be 71. She isn’t even willing to put her next election at risk to save the most vulnerable among the people she represents?!? COWARD!

      They also bought Shelly Moore Capito’s (R-WV) vote by also appointing her son as a US Attorney in WV just after the bill passed.

    33. skyhoppercc on

      She got what her state needed, benefits that are cut from others. Blame game, don’t worry democrats will bail us out in two years

    35. BenNitzevet on

      Was it ever in doubt? The idea that any of these people have any principles is laughable.

    36. Vandermeerr on

      It seems like they are being held hostage. 

      They’re supposed to be writing this bill as an independent legislative branch of government, not just “whatever Trump wants” and call it a day. 

      They have agency here and they’re acting like it’s out of their hands. Unreal. 

      Reporters should be asking who is actually putting this 1000 page bill together because it doesn’t seem to be any of the Republican senators. 

    37. exitpursuedbybear on

      I love how offended she acted when people asked her that point blank and now it’s getting reported as fact.
