Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she feels “cheated” after she won a concession in the tax and spending bill to protect wind and solar projects, only to see the Trump administration issue orders that she said seem designed to quash such projects.

Murkowski won a concession in the Big, Beautiful Bill to protect tax credits for 12 months for wind and solar. But she said a recent presidential order and Interior directive undercut those plans.

    Never mind breathtakingly destructive outcome of her votes across US!

    Forget her abdication to work for whole nation to defend the poor, disabled & children don’t grow homelessness.

    Or taking of $ from education in every state to ensure concentration camps are well funded for immigrants.

    If only this had been foreseeable, possibly by observing literally any aspect of Donald Trump's career and his willingness to follow through on commitments!

    Spare us please. You knew this was going to happen because he has promised it over and over before then after the election ad nauseum. Stop acting like you were treated poorly, you are a US Senator, act like it and have the balls to own up to who you are and who you vote with.

    I mean, he's a convicted felon, he defrauded his own charity, he bankrupted casinos, never pays his contractors, rapes children, 30+ women accused him of "sexual misconduct", and he supported an insurrection. Anyone surprised that he reneged on a "deal" is incredibly naive. In-fucking-credibly.

    This is about the 450th time that Murkowski grudging jumped onboard the Trump Train, then expressed buyer's remorse when she learned she didn't actually get the promised reward for loyalty.

    There is a word for people like this: chumps.

    Who are destroying our country.

    Think! She is at a politically existential crossroad. I would hope some trusted and wise colleagues could talk her into salvaging her political fate by leaving the GOP and going Independent if not Democrat. She has been used and shamed. She could be repurposed. Dem colleagues need to work on her

    Lisa has two choices if she wants to save what’s left of her legacy. She can resign or switch parties and become part of the opposition. Other than that, she will be remembered as a gullible fool.

    And y'all fall for it every time.

    This asshole sold out the entire nation on a bill that she KNEW was horrific, all because she thought that she had gotten carve outs and protections for Alaska. And now we are supposed to listen to her claim, and feel bad, that she was “cheated” by an Administration led by a lying POS? Seriously?

    Dear Lisa: “We the people” sitting on the side lines, are able to see how Trump and his minions would never comply with their promises. However, you—an inside ring performer, are unable to predict the outcome Your poor insight vision, your poor provision, and misjudgment disqualifies you.
