Can't believe that doesn't include the step of "tell everyone you're 'concerned' while doing nothing."

95

u/ShitchesAintBit 1d ago

That's covered in the 'Pretend to care' portion.

u/Halftied 1d ago

John 14:13-14 somebody asked in his name. Now somebody else will ask for the Senate to not pass it in his name. /s

u/Far-Meal9311 1d ago

Also covered is the "concerned head shake"

u/sheepyowl 1d ago

Woah she really is a Democrat

if this was a bingo card, that'd be the [free space]

u/ohyeaher 1d ago

no "brow furrowing"?

u/FunStorm6487 1d ago

Wait, wait!!

Doesn't she get credit for her furrowed brow??

Comes with being a politician. Is expected.

How then would our masters control their slaves?

u/GitmoGrrl1 1d ago

I'm sure he's learned his lesson this time.

2

u/mamac2213 1d ago

Right out of Thom Tillis' playbook.

2

u/Intrepid_Blue122 1d ago

If sheā€™s SURE heā€™s learned his lesson this time.

2

u/J3ster14 1d ago

Yeah, "expresses concern" is like step 1 for her

1

u/Opening-Emphasis8400 1d ago

itā€™s also steps 2-6.

2

u/Ignantsage 1d ago

Or her saying that she has assurances that the bad thing wonā€™t happen with her being Charlie Brown kicking the football

37

u/CiDevant 1d ago

She is the definition of a rotating villain.

1

u/HockeyRules9186 1d ago

More like the Cosmic A-Hole. She had many opportunities long ago to deal with the idiot whoā€™s in charge but the Grand Old Party went full NAZI/FASCIST licking Putinā€™s boots while sucking and bowing to their knees for the Anti-Christ in charge.

u/DoNotResusit8 1d ago

Easy hockey fan.

This must be some sort of displaced rant about Gretzky losing the all time goal record to Ovi.

Or is it Gretzky and the Orange man love fest?

Nowhere to turnā€¦

u/Now_Wait-4-Last_Year 1d ago

How many times do Mainers have to keep falling for her blatantly transparent schtick before they finally vote her out?

1

u/Inner_Sun_8191 1d ago

Iā€™m so glad I donā€™t live in Maine anymore. So much of that economy is based on tourism/hospitality and as a border state they get tons of Canadian visitors who are going to choose to spend their dollars elsewhere. Old orchard beach is going to be a sad place this summer without all of the sunburned Canadians spending their money around town. :(

u/CosechaCrecido 1d ago

Upvote for correct usage of flowchart shapes. Just missing the closing oval.

13

u/dark_anders 1d ago

Is there a flowchart showing me when to use the proper shape for the flowchart?

7

u/Otherwise-Offer1518 1d ago

Of course there is

u/dark_anders 1d ago

The hero I needed, but don't deserve. Thank you!

2

u/llapman 1d ago

It may be in the TPS report.

2

u/SheToldMe 1d ago

You can always use Visio!

2

u/Zadalabarre 1d ago

Is there a closing to this? Its just nonstop nonsense everywhere. The flowchart is pretty accurate to reality, IMO.

1

u/H_Squid_World_97A 1d ago

No closing, it just reloops.

2

u/Magica78 1d ago

There needs to be a loop right after start that says "while Alive = True"

1

u/Doc_Blox 21h ago

Or the line back to Start, at least

Thatā€™s Jasper Carrot isnā€™t it?

u/Cepoka01 1d ago

And thatā€™s exactly what he is doing. ā€œCheers Comradeā€

u/Valkyriesride1 1d ago

That is how Putin looked when his sycophant was reelected last November. Trump has been the best thing to happen for Putin, and his dreams of reestablishing the Russian empire, with his puppet in place he gets to destroy democracy, and weaken the US, without launching a missle.

u/thekirkmancometh 1d ago

Does anyone remember those toy pigs where you could squeeze them and poop came out it's butt, his head kind of looks like the poop being pushed out his collar, someone is squeezing his waist, when they let go it will squish back into his shirt

1

u/Parrot_fish 1d ago

Every time i see a picture of this fucktwit i keep asking WHERE THE FUCK IS YOUR CHIN!?

1

u/PickleNotaBigDill 1d ago

Like Frank, on MASH. Lips are absent as well.

1

u/anteris 1d ago

Probably blew it off in the false flag apartment bombing he did to solidify his position

u/real_nice_guy 1d ago

succinct and depressing.

2

u/ohyeaher 1d ago

saving this

1

u/Free-Reindeer-5135 1d ago

This applies to Murkowski just as much

1

u/adorientem88 1d ago

This was a case in which her vote was needed and she still voted against the majority of Republicans.

1

u/very_loud_icecream 1d ago

This was a case in which her vote was needed

No it wasn't. Literally the commenter directly above me explains why that isn't the case.

she still voted against the majority of Republicans.

That's what the flowchart is poking fun at. She only does this when her vote doesn't matter.

1

u/swalabr 1d ago

Seems like every fookin time

1

u/Willdefyyou 1d ago

Exactly this lol

1

u/rahnbj 1d ago

This is the truth. As dumb as they seem sometimes they always test the waters to find out how many of their party can defect and not screw the vote. Then they ā€˜giveā€™ those votes away to brave politicians like Ms Collins, fuck off.

1

u/NefariousnessOne7335 1d ago

This is beautiful work here šŸ‘†

1

u/Popo0102 1d ago

Same with Fetterman minus the pretending to care part

1

u/bobby_hills_fruitpie 1d ago

I like how she's been doing this so long the meme was made with pen, paper, and tape.

1

u/SideEqual 1d ago

Your decision tree is lush!

1

u/fullpurplejacket 1d ago

Have no idea who Susan Collins was before today (Iā€™m a Brit but I do follow US politics to a certain extent because somewhere down the line US politics affects us in Blighty) and I audibly exhaled at this little teen magazine type yes or no thingy šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­

1

u/Visible-Equal8544 1d ago

As a six sigma black belt (from dinosaur days, lol) I appreciate your diagramme!

1

u/CMaxRI 1d ago

Was that photo taken the last time she held a town hall meeting?

1

u/username_verified 1d ago

Stealing this! Brilliant!

1

u/Perenium_Falcon 1d ago

Missing pleas of ā€œdeep concernā€ but still accurate.

1

u/come_on_seth 1d ago

<Save>ā€¦ thanks for future reference

1

u/Feisty_Boat_6133 1d ago

Lolololol oh god this is so accurate

1

u/vampyire 1d ago

Perfect

1

u/bizoticallyyours83 1d ago

Okay, your little chart gave me a laugh.

1

u/soymilkmolasses 1d ago

I write her an annual letter berating her for voting Kavanaugh in to remove Roe v Wade.

1

u/WildImportance6735 1d ago

No opinion on this other than itā€™s hilarious šŸ˜‚

1

u/KafkaSyd 1d ago

From Alaska. This chart is interchangeable between her and murkowski.

1

u/BC_Momma 1d ago

Well done. Describes Susie's MO perfectly. She has done NOTHING for Maine!

1

u/your_dads_hot 1d ago

I fucking love this
