Big Suze was such a class act that she didn’t even bother to deliver a concession speech. The second she lost, she fuckity-byed it out of there.

BANGOR, Maine — Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) greeted supporters at her election party throughout the night but was a no-show after losing her bid for a sixth term.

Her campaign played Semisonic’s “Closing Time” and began packing up the room without any concession speech from Collins.

    They’ll end iran war funding and ICE funding on day 1. But I guarantee they’ll stop at half measures every time unless Americans keep democrats’ feet to the fire.

The way it’s supposed to be. Yay America. I’m proud of ya!
