Statement from General Mattis

[onecaliberal]

"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," the legendary former Marine Corps general said. "We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership.

1. Good job, Mattis.

A little late but still well timed.

The SS Trumptanic is sinking now.

[malaise]

2. Off to the greatest page

Oh Yes

[roamer65]

3. Mattis just spoke for the majority of the military.

Message to Dump.

GO FUCK YOURSELF.

[onecaliberal]

5. This is the important thing about this. The Military does respect Mattis, even though he

failed to speak up while he could have. If it causes the military to sit out the election or vote for Biden, I will take it.

8. He failed to speak up when

he should have. Every single one of these assholes could have stopped this if they spoke up when they should have.

Bolton, who refused to testify in the house because he was writing a book. Tillerson? Kelly? and many others covered for this asswipe. Fuck them all to hell.

[onecaliberal]

11. Yup fuck them all to hell and the more of them they drag along the way the better.

4. He was part of that leadership he calls immature.

I used to respect him, but when his country needed him - he failed.

7. I could have sworn I washed socks last night, but no. BBL n/t

[BusyBeingBest]

9. Agreed. Not sure why he allowed this much damage to accumulate

before finally saying something. He was an ass to Obama, and I won't forget or forgive that either. The undersecretary who quit yesterday had more cojones--a relative nobody who almost certainly had more to lose than his superiors.

[onecaliberal]

12. I'm just glad the rats are jumping ship.

6. Thank you, General Mattis!

10. Statement from me...

Duh - no shit

[AlexSFCA]

13. thank you for saying absolutely nothing new

what a low bar we have for gop. Carefully worded essay two years too late and he is a hero. Instead of thank you, I say why didn’t you speak up earlier, before senate trial when it mattered most? He actively contributed to trumps policies and now he is a saint all of a sudden?

[onecaliberal]

14. You're not wrong, but we act as if that would have mattered when I think we all know

It wouldn’t have moved a single republican.

15. Too little too late, Lap Dog!
