Still pissed off he didn't get his war in Syria. What about the spying on the Trump campaign/the spying on General Flynn, General Mattis? Is that a threat? Amazing how they stay silent on an actual coup attempt.

quote:

Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us,” Mattis writes. “We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children.”

This is a dangerous statement.

I’m concerned that the Democrats and their allies will try and break the chain of command, pressuring officers and enlisted to refuse their orders.

This is an extraordinary condemnation of Trump! Very interesting. I never pegged Mattis as one that would go to bat for the Deep State and the Neo-Cons who want Perpetual War in the Middle East.

Very interesting.

He's probably compromised in more ways than one.

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.
