It’s hard to keep up with the angry Democrats and RINOs. They’re like land mines. We have three generals now, who are friends, complaining about President Trump doing something he didn’t do. The clearing of one block of protesters was strictly an Attorney General Barr initiative.
The Attorney General explained that today.
Generals Allen and Mattis condemned President Trump for his alleged response at Lafayette Park although he was not involved in it. There were also no rubber bullets or tear gas and if there were, that would have been okay [by the way, pepper balls and smoke canisters are not tear gas]. Among the protesters were very violent radicals who burned down a historic building, burned a historic church, injured federal agents, and put them in the hospital and more.
General John Kelly, President Trump’s former chief of staff John F. Kelly defended former defense secretary Jim Mattis on Thursday over Mattis’s criticism of the president’s handling of nationwide protests. We prefer Mark Levin’s take which you can read here.
Kelly also dismissed Trump’s assertion that the president fired the retired general in 2018.
Mattis did resign but he had to know the end was nigh. All of us knew.
As far as using the military, 58% of Americans according to the polls want the military used if these riots continue.
President Trump responded to the angry Democrat Generals:
…in my inner-circle, was totally exhausted by the job, and in the end just slinked away into obscurity. They all want to come back for a piece of the limelight!

None of these generals said a word on behalf of General Flynn who we now know was framed by his own government.
RINOS REBEL
Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney jumped on the trash Trump train, betraying their party and real Republican base.
The fool Romney said, “I respect those who have protested, who have demanded that we must address racism and brutality,” Romney said in a statement. “From the news clips I have seen, the protesters across from the White House were orderly and nonviolent. They should not have been removed by force and without warning, particularly when the apparent purpose was to stage a photo op.”
Only it’s not true. Attorney General Barr explained today that the clearing out is the direct result of destruction and violence and it was ordered by him. He didn’t know the President was going to walk to the church and the President didn’t know Barr was clearing Lafayette Park.
These fools are going along with a lie.
Romney also liked Mattis’ “stunning and powerful” words (also inaccurate). He is such a betrayer.
“If I ever had to choose somebody to be in a foxhole with, it would be with General Mattis.”

President releases scathing letter from John Dowd that obliterates Jim Mattis, its well worth the read, Mittens and Murkowski should read it and STFU
There are few Army officers above the rank of O-4 that I have had respect for or trust in. Flag officer rank is little more than political patronage.
The “enemies within” apparently “appointed” many more enemies within…and they are surfacing and resurfacing even AFTER they were rightfully fired – which is proving to have been GOOD decisions…
The problem with “generals” these days has to do with the way stars are given out. It has become more political than merit. In order to reach that level it requires being “noticed” by the “right” people and therein lies the problem. I’m reminded of a person once saying, “we haven’t won a single war since the country has had a ‘Secretary of Defense'”.
I’ve been highly suspicious of Mattis ever since his remarks at a conference talking about the Middle East. He “claimed” all our problems in the Middle East is because of Israel”. One thing is for certain. The failures in Syria were ongoing Until the President found someone who “could” get the job done. We need to re-examine the purpose of the military in general. Is it a “social program” for transgenders and the like, or a fighting force. The Pentagon is doing more to destroy military capability than any foreign foe.
It’s been said the Republicans didn’t expect to win in 2016, and especially Trump winning. As a result they were unprepared for the leadership that it brings. In fact, the Republicans “prefer” being in the minority because they can have a sustained outrage agenda. It’s works well for them so long as they can Stay in the minority. If one looks over the political landscape there is little effort in recruiting winning candidates. It comes down to one main point, they just don’t have a fighting spirit and the best they can muster is old rhetoric. Nowadays it’s not about the general public but what “connections” can be made with the wealthy and powerful. It is a ticket to the higher office of wealth. Who was the last politician that left and went back home. It’s high time to repeal the 17th Amendment and make them accountable by their State And the people.
Would work very well with Biden, where they want to be in his cabinet or replace McConnell as leader of the Senate
