Well, Senator Murkowski---most folks know Trump is a cheat.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she feels “cheated” after she won a concession in the recently passed tax and spending law to protect wind and solar projects, only to see the president and his administration issue recent orders that she said seem designed to quickly quash such projects.

“I feel cheated,” she said in an interview Friday. “I feel like we made a deal and then hours later, a deal was made to somebody else.”

........................

While the megabill took steps to cut support for solar and wind projects, Murkowski managed to negotiate a measure to protect a 12-month window for the projects to receive tax credits, despite efforts by some Republicans to immediately eliminate them.

It was several years less than the tax-credit window allowed under the Inflation Reduction Act, approved by Democrats under former President Joe Biden in 2022.

Nope. Fresh out of fucks to give. It's a vicious circle. You screw over people, sack of shit screws you.
It's a good thing.

Murkowski is either an idiot or she's following a script...kind of like Susan Collins! Both of them are always clutching their fucking pearls and going on about "I've been fooled" or "I'm very concerned"...both are loyal to a party, that in Murkowski's case, actively fought against her being re-elected, and in Collin's case, think of her as a doddering clown!


Both support a suspected pedophile, if this was 1930's Germany both of them would have supported the Nazi party!!!
