The candid reviews of the new rules, which went into effect Monday, even included mockery from Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who joked to reporters that she planned to “wear a bikini” on Tuesday.

    "I think there is a certain dignity that we should be maintaining in the Senate" - Susan Collins

    " … she planned to 'wear a bikini' on Tuesday." - also Susan Collins.

      Mean she said 'I think he learned his lesson' about Trump and the impeachment, she isn't exactly a goldmine of truth and honesty. I bet she doesn't even wear a bikini, I'd have more respect for her if she did.

        she said ‘I think he learned his lesson’ about Trump and the impeachment

        Collins also believed Brett Kavanaugh when he more or less assured her before his Supreme Court confirmation that he wouldn't vote to overturn Roe vs. Wade.

        she isn’t exactly a goldmine of truth and honesty

        However, she is a goldmine of idiocy.

      There are greater issues than chiding her for using obvious hyperbole to emphasize the point she's previously made.

      There are also greater issues senators should focus on than what senators wear, like literally solving any problem.

      Forgot where I was for a second and thought you were talking about the author of The Hunger Games.
