1. Susan Collins is deluded.

[malaise]

5. That is not deluded

That is bat shit crazy

[Escurumbele]

22. She most probably didn't say that, it is Al Franken being funny, and funny he is :)

But nonetheless, that is the comment we would expect from her, and that is what makes is so funny.

[Ferrets are Cool]

23. +1

[mjvpi]

25. Oh, Mr Franken is such an astute kidder.

[Wednesdays]

39. Goes to show you how far we've fallen into the rabbit hole

When Franken makes a satirical comment like that, and people don't realize it's satire!

[dchill]

2. That special place in hell is going to get really crowded.

[diva77]

38. there won't be enough room to socially distance

(I do, however,believe Franken’s tweet was intended as sarcasm)

[dutch777]

3. She's been an idiot and keeps reinforcing the proof

I trust the military as a safeguard but sheesh!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

4. This is a joke, right?

[SoonerPride]

7. Yes

[dem4decades]

9. That was my thought. Al having fun shitting on Collins.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

14. Although probably not really far off the mark I'm afraid

Susan Collins hasn't announced her support for impeachment or resignation yet.

[Joinfortmill]

6. Huh?

[njhoneybadger]

8. That's gotta be sarcasm.

[a kennedy]

11. Yes it is.......I love Al Franken.....

[Kablooie]

10. I'd worry that...

Trump's last action could be to launch nuclear weapons.
He might even do it early on the 20th before Biden takes the oath.

His very last moments will be the most dangerous because he can do something and then just leave, abnegating all responsibility and creating a major crisis to dominate Biden's presidency.

[GeorgeGist]

13. Fortunately...

He doesn't know how.

[lagomorph777]

18. I worry that he'll launch them at an American target.

[Escurumbele]

24. Nope, the military will not allow him to do that, it takes more to get there than just a whim

And the military is well aware who trump is, they will derail him.

[ProfessorGAC]

35. Unless Actually Under Nuclear Attack...

...that order can't be authorized by the president without verification through the chain of command.
The chairman of the joint chiefs already doesn't listen to trump.

[in2herbs]

36. Per a newes item quoting Pelosi, after speaking with Gen. Miley (??) she was told the procedure for

launching the codes and I'd bet the guy with the football will follow procedures even if the CoC (trump) orders differently.

From what I remember of the post, the guy with the football has to call someone else, that someone else has has call someone else to confirm that nukes should be launched. If confirmed he then calls back the guy with the football.

12. Susan Collins should be shunned. Has she no shame for enabling Trump?

[OMGWTF]

27. Collins has no shame and would be out of a job if it weren't for the ES&S vote-stealing machines.

[mikeysnot]

33. All r's that voted against impeachment and coming impeachment

need to have the flaming turd tire of trump around their necks...

[unblock]

15. because it's al franken, i know this is sarcasm. but because it's collins, i can't be sure....

[TheRickles]

20. Excellent summary!

[llashram]

16. Collins

didn't have the temerity to say some stupid shit like this, did she?...

[aggiesal]

17. Yup, Pendejo45 has learned that there are no consequences to his actions, ...

just like she said after Pendejo45's impeachment trial: ‘I hope the President learned his lesson’

Thanks, Senator Collins.

19. Kick

[onetexan]

21. Clearly a sign she should NOT be in office. Time to pack it in Susan. You've done enough harm.

[elephant hunter]

26. My God...

... what on Earth is wrong with the tiny sliver of a majority of voters in Maine? I've never been there but always thought it would be nice to visit. Used to think the same thing about Alaska, until John McCain introduced me to Sarah Palin.

[elephant hunter]

28. She couldn't have the total lack of self-awareness to say that...

... did she?

[spanone]

29. K&R THANKS AL.

[Hekate]

30. Al Franken is still a very funny man,with sharp wit & sharp tongue. Good lord people, it's a joke.nt

[Jetheels]

31. Al's trying to make a funny, I guess.

We all know she’s “very concerned”.

[movingviolation]

32. Twitter needs

[StarfishSaver]

34. "F'real this time. Honest."

[SayItLoud]

37. So a guy robs a bank and 5 people are killed

And Susan Collins doesn't think it wise to hold him accountable or take away his gun.
F her.

[OnDoutside]

40. Al had Rick Wilson on his podcast and I would highly recommend. It was a great one, for a change.

He really pushes Rick, questions that I've been wondering about myself. Well worth a listen

41. WTF is wrong w Susan Collins?!?!? As if it is sound to leave it to chance like that.

Or are people that gullible and stupid in her district? Damn, I sure wish she had lost. At least we would have to hear these painfully stupid remarks.
