Susan Collins breaks with Trump over Grenell

Sen. Susan Collins broke with President Donald Trump’s decision to replace his acting director of national intelligence with U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell, deeming the longtime GOP operative inexperienced for the critical position.

The Maine Republican said Trump should have retained former acting DNI Joseph Maguire, who was abruptly dismissed last week after his aides delivered a briefing on Russian election interference to House members that displeased conservatives.

“I would have much preferred that the president nominate acting director Maguire for the post,” Collins told reporters Monday afternoon. “I care deeply about that position and believe the person needs experience in the intelligence community which regrettably ambassador Grenell does not have.”

Collins serves on the Senate Intelligence Committee and is the first Senate Republican to question Trump’s intelligence shake-up.

10. Perfect! They should market this like they do tire gauges.

With cackling sounds, of course.

[TomSlick]

16. Not original with me. I'm simply not that creative.

The website on which I found this is: https://www.reddit.com/r/PoliticalHumor/comments/f3pk65/the_susan_collins_trump_outrageometer/

The Google-machine is a wonderful thing.

[cstanleytech]

13. Actually it should be in the form of a clock as like clockwork

before an election she pretends to be some sort of mythological independent Republican.

[lonely bird]

30. Wow!

She went past a furrowed brow. I am stunned. I bet Donnie the Dimwit fell trembling to his knees.

[JDC]

7. Such courage

[Beartracks]

8. If only there was something she could have done. Some opportunity to prevent this.

Hmmm...

============

[cstanleytech]

9. I smell fear in the water of losing an election.

[captain queeg]

29. That's what I'm thinking

A little late

[jpak]

11. Well Susan maybe you should have voted differently on Impeachment

You own this.
'
Bye Bye Susan

[madaboutharry]

12. I would have much preferred a baked potato

but they only had mashed. The calorie difference was concerning.

[scarletwoman]

14. So, is she sayng she's concerned? (nt)

[Vogon_Glory]

15. So how soon will she come home to Daddy and

fall into line? Inquiring minds want to know.

[bucolic_frolic]

17. Yeah, don't address the politicization of intelligence, it's really about "inexperience"

Collins is an incompetent hack

[lonely bird]

31. Now, c'mon

She is very good at being a hack.

[The Wizard]

18. She'll do what McConnell tells her to do.

[Submariner]

19. Too late Traitor

take your Russia lobbyist husband and haul your treasonous ass back to the spud fields of Caribou and stay there.

[Wellstone ruled]

20. Susie is Concerned,Nah.

She read her latest Dailies and needed to pump up those numbers.

[IronLionZion]

22. She should resign in protest

[marble falls]

23. Big deal. So what?

[stillcool]

24. The go-to Republican senator..

to do concern. No one else can pull it off, but she's been over-played. Like a song on a juke-box. Sad.

[Happy Hoosier]

25. If her concerns were dollars, I could buy a house...

But in the end, they sound and fury signifying nothing.

[dchill]

26. Fear not. They will kiss. They will make up.

Grenell will stay until Trump is over him.

[zentrum]

27. Too little, too late.

She needs to retire and go clutch her pearls full time in Maine.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

28. Until she doesn't--quien sabes, who knows?

[hay rick]

32. "I care deeply about that position..."

Obviously that position is not to be confused with positions like supreme court justice or the presidency of the United States.

[Seiad]

33. Can we please make this stop....

.... it is without debate the most painful thing to watch..... A 'moderate' rebulblican pandering to their darkened abyss.

Please make it stop.

[Drum]

34. ...

[kimbutgar]

35. By the end of the week she will back off and fall in line

She is so Lucy with football tricking Charlie Brown over and over. She is no longer believe able.

[Miguelito Loveless]

36. No she didn't

This is just a stunt so she can claim to be “independent”. If she is “disagreeing”, it’s because Trump told her to.

[not_the_one]

37. BWAHAhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

(gasp)

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Scruffy1]

38. She knows the votes aren't there.

She's always around with a vote when you don't need it.

[NBachers]

39. At first glance, I thought it said, "Susan Collins breaks with Trump over Greenland."

[obamanut2012]

41. I read it as Grinnell

ie the college.

[sakabatou]

40. Because she's really, really concerned

[TNNurse]

42. Because you can always count on her to stay strong in her convictions.....

[lark]

43. Susie needs another bribe.

This is how she trolls for it, gets her bribe, then votes drumpfs' way despite all her concerns.

[Javaman]

44. she will break with him until she doesn't.

she's a twit.

[turbinetree]

45. Yeah right lets think outside the box and see what she was whining about yesterday.................

and to see how this current fiasco is related to what she did in her past votes to get us to where we are today....................she was out there whining about dark money.............yesterday,...............well because of the current shit hole this country is in which she is enabling, she basically caused the current fiasco with lots of fascist help, with her enabling of a traitor that she just voted to just acquit three weeks ago.................and the answer is where is the money coming from Susan, what is causing the collapse of this republic..................your fricking votes, that's what...........just resign............. .

November 3, 2020 cannot get here fast enough..............................

[rsdsharp]

46. Of course, if he was actually nominated for the position, instead of

being appointed acting DNI, she'd vote to confirm.

[Aristus]

47. Let me guess: she has 'concerns'.

[llashram]

48. so what

tomorrow she will say: never mind, he's my angel from heaven and I made a mistake. Just like d.trump, I believe not a word that spews from her mouth

[efhmc]

49. Was it very "disappointing"?

I can't read anything she says as it gives me a very bad feeling in my gut.

[BigDemVoter]

50. I am 100% certain this asshole vetted these comments with Pussy-Grabber

BEFORE she said them to make sure he was "ok" with comments. . .

[janterry]

51. preferred?

[Mme. Defarge]

52. Her concern only goes so far.

[Laelth]

53. She has lost all credibility after her impeachment votes.

I have no interest in what she has to say.

-Laelth

[BigDemVoter]

55. I have NO doubt that she cleared this w/ Pussy-Grabber team

prior to making announcement to ensure it was, "Ok" with Pussy-Grabber. . . Now Susie Q can be all "concerned" about Grenell. FUCK her.

[Nitram]

56. Oh, really? How many times has she "broken with Trump" only to reverse course later?

Nothingberger.
