AJ... pretty soon you might look around and be the only one left: The elite military club that's scorning Trump (opinion) - CNN "On Thursday, Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, issued an extraordinary apology for his presence in Lafayette Square during the President's walk to St. John's church for a photo-op after peaceful protests were forcefully dispersed. Milley noted that his presence "sparked a national debate about the role of the military in civil society. I should not have been there. My presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics. As a commissioned uniformed officer, it was a mistake that I have learned from, and I sincerely hope we all can learn from it."
It’s almost inconceivable that Trump may lose to a 78 year old in the throes of dementia who is so addle brained that he is confined to his own basement and his wife stays on his right elbow everywhere he goes to keep him from wandering off. But everything occurring now is inconceivable.
Agreed George..... WTF is wrong with our nation's political system when these two are the only choices on the presidential ballot. Seems like the Dems were lazy..... they could have done better.
The use of federal troops goes all the way back to George Washington and the whiskey rebellion. In 1967 federal troops were used to help quell the Detroit riots. I don't recall any general acting like a sissy and crying about it afterward. If Milley felt it was wrong to go, don't he shouldn't have gone. Don't go and then apologize afterward.
As this article states Trump may be losing support of high profile Republicans like George W. and Colin Powell and others but he and his reality TV presidency reigns supreme with his base supporters. Don't be fooled into thinking Republicans are split over Trump (Opinion) - CNN
I don't waste my time reading any articles on CNN. It's for morons. George W never got over that Trump whipped his brother's ass so convincingly. And when Powell says trump lies I can't help but think of that clown telling the UN about WMDs.
Interesting, the CNN article Dave posted dated 6/15, citing a NYT article, states that George W will not vote for Trump. George W on 6/9 had already called that article a complete fabrication. https://nypost.com/2020/06/09/ny-times-made-up-report-that-bush-isnt-voting-for-trump-spokesman/
The NYT got a Pulitzer for complete fabrication of the Russian Collusion. The other media outlets like CNN go out of their way at spreading the fake news because some many brain dead on the left buy every word that they say.
Well since that media bias site that you provided Bobda lists the NY Post as right leaning to moderately right I don't buy it. Rather.... some other sources say Bush is stating he will be private about his vote this time after not voting for Trump in 2016. Hmmmm.... my money is for a no vote for Donald by W.
The website that you lauded after I directed your attention to it following your claim that the Atlantic was a right wing rag? That site? if you take the time to read the article, you will see the article cites to an email sent by W’s spokesman to the Texas Tribune after the NYT’s story was published.
Every prior service vet and current guard/reservist I know love Trump. We'll see what happens come November Dave. God forbid the Dems get what they want, and God help us of we do.
No...we operate off of a thing called "Commanders Intent". Would you like to know the difference between centralized command and Decentralized command and how one works better over the other? It's been right there in front of you in the news for the past 2 weeks. But once again, it's not the Forrest through the trees. I said that before, and saw no reply from you on that quote. Did I lose you? And yes I know what the common quote is. This one I learned from a CWO-5 who did 34 years in the mens club.
Yeah I know Scotty...not sure I wanna go any further. These conversations remind me of the scene from Monty Python Holy Grail movie...you know...the one where the guy gets both arms and legs cut off...but just doesnt stop.
"It's been right there in front of you in the news for the past 2 weeks. But once again, it's not the Forrest through the trees. I said that before, and saw no reply from you on that quote. Did I lose you?" I admit you lost me AJ..... I don't watch Fox News Entertainment so I have been in the dark the past two weeks seeing truthful and factual statements being made by current and former high ranking military people formerly respected by Trumpers until they criticized the asshole.
