    Well, I went and voted, holding my nose most of the time. But there was one guy I just had to go vote against. For the first time there were several that I left blank because i didn't know anything about the candidates. An uninformed vote is worse than no vote at all.

      But back to the video, I assume that's real? SHe's shaking like that and will be 80 by the end of the next senate term...

      I think Platner will walk away with this one.

      I am surprised that this would actually be an issue, especially after the last president election.

        Planter should write a book called "My Struggle."

        That should cinch it for him.

        I love you long time.

          Collins released her first ad. She’s not even in it.

          Just a bunch of old (silent) B-roll of her with a voice over at the end.

                  You might as well translate it to "Jihadi" (جهادي).

                        https://time.com/article/2026/05/07/senator-susan-collins-essential-tremor-explained/

                        On May 6, Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine, revealed that she’s had a condition called essential tremor throughout the duration of her nearly 30-year Senate career and that she takes medication for it.

                        “I have had it for the entire time that I have served in the United States Senate,” Collins, 73, told News Center Maine. “It has absolutely no impact on my ability to do my job or on how I feel each day.” Collins recently announced in a video that she is running for a sixth term, and online comments called attention to the shakiness in Collins’ hands, voice, and head.

                          Not an uncommon condition.

                          Education is extremely important.

                            I occasionally get ads for clinical trails for essential tremor on Facebook. Got me thinking that maybe Facebook thinks I shake my phone a little too much.

                              You also yell "get off my lawn" while shaking the phone?

                                Probably smart positioning for Maine.
