Discussion: GOP Sen. Warns Trump Against Releasing GOP House Intel Memo

Why is the phrase that comes to mind “pissing into the wind”??

OT but funny: Found the moniker “Fox booboisie” in an article over at Daily Beast and nearly fell off my chair laughing… Just wanted to share. Will be using this in the future.

A concerned Maine Senator tries to show that she’s concerned.

Trump, with the help of the GOP thinks this memo will be his Hail Mary but with Nunes as the author (writing it while hiding in the bushes) people like Collins knows it will backfire.

Warns?

As in … if you do x, then y will happen?

There’s no warning here.

Not that it would be taken seriously if there was …

If Sen Collins was really concerned, she could threaten to leave the Republican party, declare herself independent, and caucus with the Dems. Either other members of the GOP would step in and stop the release of the memo, or she’d leave.

But she’s not going to do that, is she? Just more strong sounding words and nothing else from the Maine Senator. Wish I could say I was the slightest bit surprised. Just even a tiny bit.

Oh, what the fuck. It’s not like Nunes, Rohrbacher and Meadows haven’t already long since passed the underlying intelligence on to their handlers.

On the other hand, once they release the memo, Putin will be able to go ahead and execute the sources without obviously burning his assets in Congress.

Sen. Collins, meet Deaf Ears.

I guess revealing Sources and methods aren’t a big deal anymore, ever since tweedle-dee bragged about his great intel reports over russian tea.

Wasn’t Don Jr. talking about the memo on Fox last week? Either he was BSing or (Trump’s razor) they actually showed him the memo.

As far as I am concerned, she blew whatever cred she might have had a while back.

“…Collins said that the House investigation has become too partisan…”

And blame lies squarely with Trump enabler and Chair of the Committee, Nunes. Seriously, THIS is how government is being run like a business? That is still in business?

Run for office- the 2018 elections are 10 months away! And if Trump and Louie Gohmert and Steve King can get elected what’s to stop a qualified candidate?

Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes it’s a Ward officer. You’ll meet with neighborhood Dems and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.

Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led Voter run-around help them do that.

Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump and half of eligible voters stayed home last November. Today’s 12-year olds will be voting for President in 8 years.

Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly.

Get appointed to your Planning Commission. Know everything going on in your community.

Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020, just a year and a half from now, when we redraw Congressional Districts. And Trump is ALREADY trying to rig the census!

And get rid of GERRYMANDERING! Safe GOP seats gave us such intellectual giants as Louie Gohmert and Steve King. In most cases it’s the state Legislature that draws Congressional boundaries. Make it FAIR, OPEN and HONEST! We can do this!

Overturn Citizens United. Money is NOT speech and Corporations are NOT people- at least not until Texas executes one, and overturn any voter ID laws that are clearly an attempt to disenfranchise the poor and people of color.

Sorry Suze…you screwed the pooch yesterday with your endorsement of Donnie and his pussy grabbing…it’s a little hard to ‘buy’ your concern today…especially since it’s been released.

Where is the memo? Can we see it, or is Trump going to tell us what’s in it tonight?

Well, based on the tax cuts, we all know how credible Sen Collins threats are…

Odds are she will be praising the release of this potentially damaging document by tomorrow…

Oh, noes! Susan Jellyfish Collins (R - Mainely A Pain In The Ass) has hers a sadz! What next, Susan? Will you vehemently wag your disapproving Media-Moderate finger in front of Donald’s face, a few minutes before you vote on any piece of legislation the motherfucker supports in the Senate? I can see you clapping at every line that traitorous, Constitution-destroying fuckhead Trump says tonight at the SOTU, so please, Ms. Lime Jell-O of 2018, cut the shitty charade you’ve been pulling your entire political career. You’re not fooling anyone except the media mavens who say “This is the day Donald Trump truly became President!” You know - morons.

Thank you, Senator Collins for your “principled” stand on something you have no power or control over. Your clutching of your pearls has been given all the respect it has earned.

I am sure Trump is curled up in fear

Isn’t it thrilling to once again see the ever so brave Susan Collins say words opposing some in her party somewhat? So bracing! And then to watch her do … nothing. Your turn, Lindsey Graham. Perhaps you too can say some mildly critical words, and then tell us about how much you love Trump’s golf courses. Cowards.
