Sen. Lisa Murkowski was the deciding vote to pass Republicans' massive social safety net cuts through the Senate. She said she didn't like the bill, but voted for it anyway after getting Alaska exempted from some of its worst harms.

Oh, she didn't care what happened to others as long as hers got taken care of? That's a model republican. My senators flee the state if things go pear shaped and actively try to fuck it on a normal basis... what a terrible group of human garbage...

it's a wonder shit like this happens and they still get elected as senators. i have zero faith in the American populace at this point and can only hope my state secedes.
