Sen. Collins: Trump made ‘terribly unwise’ decision on troops
Republican Sen. Susan Collins said Monday that the president made a "terribly unwise" decision to abandon Kurdish allies who were "our major partner in the fight against the Islamic State."
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS


Collins said Monday that the president made a “terribly unwise” decision to abandon Kurdish allies who were “our major partner in the fight against the Islamic State.”

Collins also took Trump to task over the weekend for asking China to investigate Democrat Joe Biden and his son. She told reporters in Maine that it’s “completely inappropriate” for a president to encourage a foreign state to investigate a political opponent.

Unforking real. Collins sees an ally being betrayed and all she can muster is another case of the vapors.
Collins and her master ,Moscow Mitch, have created a monster by abrogating their oversight powers.

"How terribly unwise!" Did she blush, too?

It seems the talking points are, "that's concerning" and "that's inappropriate". Why, those are such POWERFUL and STERN words! That outta' do the trick. You bet.

What is this, day care or grade school?
