dpberr Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Those with cooler heads will use them. Neither Mattis nor Trump are the type. I don't disagree with Mattis but whenever these retired generals who were let go by Presidents speak out, you can't help but hear the ax grinding in the background.

Cops are being attacked, Caucasian Americans are being forced to kneel and beg for mercy. These things have happened already, it’s documented. It is now civil war, and time to protect the good, hard working citizenry from the uncivilized terrorists. LOL!!! @Q-baby! You are missing a good one here! 1

He just comes off as a tool. 1
bbb Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Mattis said this: Mattis took particular issue with the use of force to move back protesters so Trump could visit St. John's Church the day after it was damaged by fire during protests. Several different groups, including the National Guard and the U.S. Park Police, were involved. Can somebody tell me what the real story is. I think I read on this forum that this was a bunch of crap? I haven't been able to keep up and somebody just PMd me on FB with this Mattis article and telling me how divisive Trump is.

Can not someone just love their country. Tell me truthfully that of all the presidents in history, Trump is the most likely to try to be a dictator... Did not the right love Mad Dog...suddenly not...maybe, just maybe, he along with others are reluctantly giving a warning. 2 1

Trump’s biggest problem is that every time he takes the word or advice of an establishment Republican they let him down. As sad as it sounds, I think Trump bought into the hype of the nickname “Mad Dog” more than anything else. The left and right have undermined him at every turn, yet he has still managed to generate a roaring economy. Trump is tougher than all these soy boys like Mattis trying to bring him down. 2

Actually, kind of looks like Mattis quit and gave 2 months notice & then 45 said, no, you can leave NOW. So, he quit AND was fired (fired for the 2nd time by a 2nd president). Hit the daily double.

Mattis submitted a resignation effective two+ months out. He was still employed as the Secretary of Defense following the submission. 2.) Trump terminated his employment before the resignation was effective. 3.) Mattis was fired. Seriously, I understand you NPCs really have a selective grasp on reality, but stop being a dumbass for 5 minutes. 1

Not disputing this he resigned and the President then fired him because him quitting hurt his feelings. Trump pictured here: 1
