At fortified White House, Trump under verbal assault from military's top ranks

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Fortified by troops in uniform, foreboding fencing and police in riot gear, President Donald Trump remained protected from largely peaceful protesters this week -- but not from the ire of his predecessors and the nation's top military figures.

While Trump has always embraced his outsider status among the elite president’s club, his defensive tone and calls to “dominate” demonstrators have stood in sharp contrast with rare statements released by previous presidents calling for unity and reflecting on persistent racial injustices.

In what amounted to the most direct rebuke of the president from a former member of his Cabinet, Trump's first and former defense secretary James Mattis on Wednesday denounced the commander in chief as a threat to the Constitution, saying he’s been “angry and appalled” in watching his handling of the protests that have followed George Floyd’s death.

"Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people -- does not even pretend to try," Mattis wrote in an essay in The Atlantic (https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/06/james-mattis-denounces-trump-protests-militarization/612640/). "Instead he tries to divide us."

1. The funny thing is he is and always has been the single biggest coward on earth.

Someone on a podcast was saying he is not dumb, a master of messaging.

WRONG

If a 10 year old said "I love you daddy, can I have a cookie?"

And daddy smiled and handed him a cookie, well he said it again the next night, got another cookie, and did it night after night.

Rump says "Mexicans are rapists" and he hears thousands of assholes applaud, he says it again and again, NOT because he is some genius, but because he likes applause.
