  • General Mattis: Trump made a mockery of Constitution.

    Mattis finally unloads on Trump. Compares him to a Nazi. He also has harsh words forSecratary of Defense, Mark Esper and Mark Milly, the Joint chief of staff.

    James Mattis is free to say whatever silly thing he wants.
    Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
    But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
    Than a fool in the eyes of God

      MM, just out of curiosity, who can criticize Trump and have you take it seriously? I think I asked you this before and you couldn't give me an answer but maybe I'm remembering it wrong.

        And just what did Mattis say that was silly, MM?

            What's your point. So, you think Mattis is overated because Trump and Breitbart are telling you so. Who cares? What was silly about what Mattis wrote about Trump? Don't go running to Breitbart to feed on irelevant issues. Use your own head for once. What was it about what Mattis said in the article concerning Trump that you found to be silly?

                  Yeah - that about hits the nail on the head.

                  Time after time truly qualified and brilliant people have come to serve our country and Trumps administration. And those people have been praised by Trump and Trump's followers for all the good qualities they have and bring to the table. And time and time again they have come up against the corruption and ineptitude that is Trump and have had to leave, sometimes with dire warnings to the country. And when that happens, Trump and his followers suddenly turn on them and decide they are really idiots after all, not gifted brilliant people.

                  This reminds me of a story I once heard. A man took his wife to get a bathroom scale. They got home, she tried it out. "It's broken" she said. So he took it back to get another. He exchanged it and brought it back home. "Darn if this one is not broken too". So he took it back again and got a third one, brought it home. At this point the wife came in: "how can three scales in a row be wrong!" she says. The husband smiles. The wife has an 'aha moment' and says no more.

                  My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

                  If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

                  This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

                      I saw a couple of similar ones that were good...

                      Trump in a Nutshell

                      He's a "billionaire" who hides his tax returns. A "genius" who hides his college grades. A "businessman" who bankrupted 3 casinos and lost over $1B in 10 years. A "playboy" who pays for sex. A "Christian" who doesn't go to church. A "philanthropist" who defrauds charity. A "patriot" who dodged the draft and attacks dead veterans and their widows. An "innocent man" who refuses to testify. The "chosen one"... by Russia.


                      and

                      The Trump-speak Translation Guide

                      "Deep State" = Our system of checks and balances

                      "Many people have told me" = Voices in my head and fictional people have complimented me

                      "A lot of people don't know" = I just learned something everyone else already knew

                      "Believe me" = I just lied

                      "In fact" = I'm about to lie

                      "He's a great guy" = I will deny ever knowing this person in a year or two after they begin to tell the truth about me

                      "MAGA" = Make American Graves Accumulate

                      "Nobody knew" = Everybody knew except Trump

                      "Huge" = Moderate to below average in size

                      "Loser" = Someone who makes me feel inferior due to their talent or accomplishments

                      "Policy briefing" = I saw it on Fox News

                      "Liar" = Someone telling the truth about me

                      "Friends" = Future enemies after I back-stab them

                      "Fake news" = Real news

                      "Terrible question" = A factual answer to that question would expose me as a fraud
                      "I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
                      "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell

                          Such folks have stepped forward during every Administration to announce that they were staunchly opposed to this or that action by past presidents. The difference between then and now is that in the past they didn't get front page megaphones when they did it.

                          I'm always still in trouble again

                            I'm reminded of the following statement, which was made on CNN by a panel member named Mark Lee, way back in November of 2017:

                            "If Jesus Christ gets down off the cross and told me Trump is with Russia, I would tell him, 'Hold on a second, I need to check with the President if it's true.'"

                            I've reached the conclusion that most Donald Trump supporters will not accept criticism of Trump from ANYBODY, up to and including God.

                            Let's face it. If a Trump voter, after witnessing Trump's words and actions over the past three and a half years, STILL supports Trump, then nothing will change the voter's mind.
                            "My favorite color in the alphabet is three." - Donald J. Trump
                            "The 'J' in my middle name stands for 'Jenius'" - Donald J. Trump
