Definitely didn’t. Still super mad at her anyway. Because I do think she actually knows what she has done.

I didn't and knew when she had clauses for her State added, she would vote "heil trump"

Lisa is banking on the GOP to bulk buy her new book so she can get on the NYT bestseller list.

I don’t know why anyone puts faith in any of them- that’s like falling in love with the stripper

Me either. She could give a rat’s hindquarters about anything but her own self. 😡

Shameful

Do u have a Tom Homan equivalent for Lisa

Never expect any redeeming quality from any Republican. Ever.

How many times does someone need to stick a fork in to the electrical socket to learn to stop doing that?

Lisa is like “I don’t want Alaska Natives to get hurt sucks about mainland ones tho.” I’m not #NativeAmerican but I wouldn’t like this pitch.

Repeated covid exposure

If you did tho, I have a bridge you might be interested in buying.

Integrity has no place in today's Rethuglican Party. They stand for greed, grievance, racism and retribution.

murkowski's schtick only works in a 24 hour news and outrage cycle, it's only people whose brains are poisoned by that cycle that ever believed in her

I mean, I had absolute faith she would fold.

She’s milked that ACA vote for a long time now.

How often does Murkowksi act like that for attention and press coverage?🤔 It appears it happens too often to be a coincidence?

In Star Wars lore, the heart of the strongest stars are made of kyber. The weakest, Lisa Murkowski.

The problem is mixing faith with politic/ians. More problems than blessings.

Literally this. Why trust them?

💯

What so frustrating about this Tillis/Collins/Paul/Murkowski business is that congress performs this shuffle every time. It's called a hall pass. You count the votes and once you have enough, you let any extras vote no (those who need to appear to be in opposition for PR reasons)

Three Republican Senators opposing President Trump’s #BigBeautifulBill is just performance art since no one else in the party will be brave enough to stick their head above the parapet and say “No”. Actually it should be 2.5 Senators since one said no and then promptly announced he was quitting

She's been a wiff-waffle for decades.

my dad was saying "I feel kind of sorry for Lisa Murk—" and I was like "I'm gonna stop you right there"

i do feel kinda sorry for lisa. sorry that she’s still around.

She could have voted NO but she didn’t so we will just have to call her Lisa MURDERkowski.

Don't be sorry. They'll forget what they did well before the next election.

I’d question the intelligence of anyone who put faith in Murkowski

Somebody screenshotted this post but cropped off your name & likeness. Their post was to steel the spirits of those who fought to stop the bill using your post as an example of not being helpful to those now crestfallen. But I believe you both to be waiters, not haters to the table of humanity. ❤

this is an extremely nice way to say someone was shitposting about me

In my parasocial mind palace, you two would be friends or friendlies.

It became clear in how hard she was negotiating that she’d get her carve outs for Alaska then say fluck you to the rest of the nation. Unconscionable.

🙋 because I am dumb

Her proven track record of championing the causes of the poor and disadvantaged?

Her vote for a bill that cuts programs for the poor and disadvantaged in order to increase the wealth of our most wealthy citizens would argue against that

When you know you’ve opened the gates to HELL but you’re on your way there anyways 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽🤷🏽‍♀️

Too many people suffer from amnesia.

She’s no John McCain.

John McCain sucked ass too tbh

He did, but he came through in that very important moment and people have had ACA since then, until now.

Agreed. I followed that shit closely at the time, he told reporters beforehand "Watch the show". The. Show 🫠🤬🖕 Our literal lives, are a fucking joke to all of them.

Be a shame if they all lost their heads in a revolution.

I'm so old I remember 8 days ago when she said was considering joining the Democrats' caucus.

Is this helpful?

Yup you can rely on her to always do the wrong thing.

Anyone expecting Murkowski or Collins to do the right thing just hasn't been paying attention. And not just them, but those two are often portrayed as thoughtful moderates. They are neither.

she does this every. fucking. time. a coward and a liar.

but but but centrist Dems keep telling me how centrist she is

Oh, but she and Collins were "very concerned". 🤬 I hope all the maga politicians who are supporting this fascist POS budget have the day they voted for.

Literally makes less sense than believing in the Easter Bunny.

morons. Dear Lisa

Exactly this

hope springs eternal, friend 😭

Damn. Like all Republicans she puts her own ass in front of her constituents.

Why would anyone?

No one should ever put their faith in Lisa Murkowski. She, who can afford all the things that Rethuglicans just put out of reach for millions of regular American citizens and then some, is too scared for this moment in history.

There are no good elected Republicans at this point. There are good ex-Republicans, but anyone still willing to be part of Trump's party at this point has made their choice.

need someone to put murkowski’s face on lucy

smdh step up bluesky cmon this is basic meme stuff

I’m glad(?) I never did? OK, but I’m not really glad.

It was inevitable she fold it was just a when question

It’s like the people on here who as of last night decided to put their faith back in Elon Musk

Didn't you know? The most reliable way to know what a person will do is to listen to the words coming out their word hole. No one has ever said one thing, then done the exact opposite ever in history!

I don’t think that its faith in Elon. It’s more a hope that his reputation for holding a grudge is accurate reporting. Trump RARELY faces any consequences for his actions and it’s feasible that Elon could potentially retaliate in a way that brings a smile to our hearts. We still hate Nazi’s

let the nazis destroy each other

Pretty much this

Susan Collins told me it would be fine !!

The 3 or 4 of those senators just play rock paper scissors before a big vote to see who gets to pretend to care until the vote actually happens.

This is 100% accurate. They 'huddle' to hash out who it would hurt the most in an election. That is the intense conversation. Not about the bill itself.

“Honestly great call by the haters”

You're right. Why put our faith in one coward when it took 51 of them to pass this...

I was so disappointed when Mary Peltola lost 😞

Every time

murkowski last week: lmao wouldn’t it sooo funny if i caucused with the dems murkowski this week: you’re all gonna die sry :(

It’s the same song…feign disagreement, fight for a scrap and suddenly vote ‘yea’ at the last second. The theatrics, fueled by the mainstream media, are so disingenuous.

murkowski: no, not like that.

She delivered for Alaskans. (By exempting them from the bill. But still - she delivered for her voters.)

I suspect they'll find out her carveouts are outweighed by the rest of the bill

She does the same stuff as Collins. Pretends she's going to vote no so they give her concessions (or money) and then she votes with them as she always planned.

I was *shocked* when Collins voted against it. I guess, since they already lost Tillis and Paul, only one of them could vote against it and they had to roshambo...

Yeah, Collins would absolutely have voted for it if her vote would have swung it. She and Murkowski are cosplay moderates, it's all part of the charade.

Ah. Collins is up for reelection next year. Murkowski in 2028. They could win without Collins' vote, so she got to vote against it to shore up her support.

But muh whalers

She is an evil woman. Knowing you're committing Mass Murder makes you evil. There is no way to say anything good about her.

Never count on a Republican to do the right thing

:(

I like how specifically she suggested she'd caucus with the Dems but only in cases where it wouldn't matter

“lol, jk” type shit

It’s like putting your faith in Collins She’ll pull the football away every time

While being Very Concerned.

She personifies the Lucy with the football meme. She seems nice but I think she’s basically incapable of going against her caucus.

She has a long track record of doing this. She holds out for special provisions for Alaska and damn everyone else. Her MACO move (Murkowski Always Chickens Out) did not surprise me. Susan Collins knew that the bill would pass if Murky voted yes, so she voted no to try and raise her poll numbers.

I think exactly this was their plan. Collins is up for reelection in 2026, Murkowski in 2028. Lisa is hoping we will forget by then. Hopefully she will resign.

Voters will forget by next week.

OR #Murkowski told you #extortion was going on & everybody just walked away nodding & then #Hortman got shot, & NOBODY OFFERED Lisa #PROTECTION ⚠️if you want #allies & #testimony, stop threatening them *when they tell you they get threats to fuck you*⁉️

Murkowski's legacy is being the centrist lib of the modern Republican party, and all that that implies

Hey, at least whaling captains are getting a tax break. So when we die, we'll be in good company in the afterlife listening to whale song.

I don't remember her saying sorry

my whole life has been murkowski and collins being framed as moderates and they only vote with dems when their vote doesn't matter; falling in line when it does.

Exactly! I am still stunned that Collins didn't do the same thing, for maybe the first time ever.

bsky.app/profile/moda...

People cannot help themselves from touching that hot stove repeatedly

Touching? They're well beyond that, they're reaching bases we didn't even know existed with the stovetop now. At this point you'd think they were trying to heat acclimate for the afterlife.

Think they are not just touching but going palms down both hand along with feet.

Oh I didn’t. Collins surprised me but I figure they worked out a good cop bad cop strategy; Murkowski’s turn to be good cop coming soon.

Lisa Murkowski and Susan. Collins are twins separated at birth. I’m sure they are both disappointed someone else didn’t vote No and the the Felon has learned his lesson.

I'm not sorry.

She's the living embodiment of of "Lucy with the football"

Simple rule to live by: don't ever count on a conservative politician to do the right thing.

Ugh.

Even her husband wouldn’t do that. Or her dog.

Collins is just grown up Lucy Van Pelt.

As Alaskans keep saying, never ever trust Murkowski.

Once bitten, twice bitten again

It's truly been every single time, when I really counts she'll vote for the thing that fucks people then say she feels bad about it

I thought she could be bought and/or the Democrats would actually try to buy her off.

i was hoping shed win the coin flip vs collins :'(

Never considered counting on her or Susan Collins for their support. They always give you the impression that they are on your side but when it comes to a vote it's always with the majority.

Don't even know what's up lately or what this is about, but my long-time default assumption about her (and so many others) is "probably wont do the right thing when it really counts"

I'm guilty 😔

I have no faith in anyone in congress.

Right ?????

smol bean Lisa Murkowski

Murky Lisa

Irony is dead. She actually admits Paul's point.
