Checks out.
When you’ve exhausted the non sequiturs, come back with the thinking part of your brain. If it exists.

Maybe not officers but the enlisted crowd swears to obey the orders of the President of the United States.

So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).
The chain of command is a sacred thing and officers are obviously part of that chain of command and Mattis was an officer.
Mattis once said that he would not criticize a sitting President and now he's going back on his word because he can't get into the cocktail parties in DC.

I always hear from leftists that Trump is wants us divided and constantly sows division. Are there any concrete examples of this? From my observations it's typically the left that wants everybody packaged into clearly labeled boxes and unleash absolute hell should anyone express a thought that doesn't fit into said box
Well, peaceful protestors were tear-gassed so that he could make a propaganda video that would make Chairman Kim proud
You can argue that he didn’t directly order the aggressive moves by police, but do you think he was going to cross the street with people there protesting?
Seems pretty divisive to me.

In the general? Romney, Trump and no one.

I don't know what the motivations of Mattis are but I don't think he's a Comey.
I do think he has a romanticized view of the American public, and ignores that 20% of this country wants to see its foundational ideals eliminated. Those people should not be categorized the same as other Americans.

These were not original thoughts only repeating what the man, nay, god himself has said. I believe this great president, this incredible man of character and valor will lead us into the promised land!
I only hope and pray he doesn't develop cancer and perish from all these wind turbines about before he can deliver us.
Lord Jesus Trump has risen!

There's a difference between intentional division and things just happening. Do you really think Trump wants to bring people into the fold?
I think he knows that the people who hate him will hate him regardless of what he does, and that’s been proven ad nauseam. I point to reactions (or lack thereof) to Obama because it exposes exactly what is being criticized. It’s not that he’s beyond criticism, but if they ignored or adored similar behavior in the Halfrican Messiah then I understand what their real problem is.

Then he should get off his arse and do something about it. Like tossing his hat in the ring.

On their own, they would be absolutely no threat.
The problem is that too many people in the other 80% is giving aid and comfort to that 20% and is feeding them and making them more stronger and more powerful.
Mattis is one of those people.

Mattis is a DC swamp creature through and through despite his carefully cultivated image.
Obviously I respect his service but has lost me with this one.

I support the President invoking the Insurrection Act on a widespread basis, but he needs to shite or get off the pot.
Otherwise it’s just more gibberish that throws gas on the fire. His yapping is getting old. It’s just one long twitter troll.

But trump has always bragged about being such a good reader of people’s character. How can he surround himself with so many traitors?
