At last, a Significant GOP Break with Nutty Donald Trump

I don't entirely agree with what Collins said about Mexico (in fact, far from it), but her leading her party's opposition in the Senate to Trump's Canadian tariffs on Canada is just the type of action that I've been waiting for!

I suspect some border states have a closer relationship with Canada. Tariffs can’t be going over well with them

The excess hydro-power lines cut through Maine on the way to Massachusetts and New York.

The ocean beaches here seem toaste warm like Miami beaches seem warm to us. The ocean water in Canada gets none too warm during the short summer up there.

There is a beach in the town of Old Orchard which is about a 30 minute drive down Route One just south of Portland, Maine. On a map it is Portland, South Portland, Scarborough, then Old Orchard Beach, Maine. The French Canadians flock to Old Orchard Beach during the summer time, and practically take over this town. But due to trDUMPee's bullshit - Canadian hotel reservations are down by 80% this coming summer.

After trDUMPee's insults and demeaning snide remarks why would Canada want to spend money in the USA ?

Trump has been throwing an all-day temper tantrum on Truth Social over this rebellion. Hope he strokes out!

Of these four, I'd never thought that Rand Paul, especially, would side with the Democrats on an issue like this, but I'm delighted!

.... due to the "See you in court" remark she made at the White House.

So if gasoline and heating fuel prices rise in Maine the Orange Fuhrer would be happy and proud.

Djt has one of his sick vendettas against the Maine Govenor. He will now hold a sick grudge against her until her death.

Such a sick puppy - Fascist demon pig he is.
