      Are we going to vote for a rapist after all of the yelling about Trump?

        It’s not too late for him to drop out of the race and be replaced, most likely by Janet Mills. Internal pressure appears to be necessary. Ceding the election to Susan Collins is not a great option. She’ll keep doing what she has been doing.

          I hope he has the grace to drop out.

            I hope you have the grace to not judge him until all the facts are in.

              Not judging, just don’t wish for a repeat of 2024. Joe Biden prolonging the campaign and bowing too late.

              The facts like his contract mercenary work in Afghanistan, his Nazi tattoo, and his other accusations of sexual assault and rape?

              Yeah. I’ll wait for more of the facts to come in. /s

        Not a Mainer (and I bet you aren’t either) but I would vote for the policy, not the person.

          And that’s how we have a child rapist as president.

          The ends justifies the means, right?

              The pre-incumbency personal life:

              • Got a Nazi tattoo
              • Served with war criminals
              • Rapist

              That’s your candidate. That’s the guy you want to make one of the 100 most powerful people in the country.

              You’re out here calling other people ‘numbnuts’, the fucking gall.

                You’ve convinced me. I’m shilling for Susan Collins 100% now. I see now that it was my nuts that were numb the whole time.

                  At least you’re consistent about supporting rapists.
