Colin Powell on CNN wants him OUT now!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

He's not providing any details to Wolf Blitzer, but seems to think he can simply be removed without bothering with the 25th or impeachment.

Don't ask me what he's thinking.

Obviously no links from CNN yet. He's still being interviewed right now.

[gldstwmn]

1. Can the joint chiefs take him out?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

7. Don't know.

Powell isn't saying HOW, just that he needs to be removed immediately and he didn't answer Blitzer's request for details.

[relayerbob]

27. No

[Dem2theMax]

2. Watching. nt.

[Blue Owl]

3. Any sane person does

Because tRump is clearly INSANE

[msongs]

4. has he found the WMDs yet. nt

[roamer65]

5. Military.

I don’t think they will follow a nuclear order from Dump.

[MoonlitKnight]

9. That is a big problem also

Yes, we don’t want him just randomly bombing someone. But what if he actually needs to? Nobody can trust it’s a valid order.

Dude gotta go! Now.

[MoonlitKnight]

6. He wants to wait out the 13 days

Foolishly thinks he won’t do anything between now and inauguration.

[gldstwmn]

8. Oh hell no.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

12. That's not what he said earlier.

I heard him say something about not expecting Trump to do horrible things in the last 13 days like he's seen speculated about, though.

[MoonlitKnight]

16. He explicitly said that he does not support removal prior to January 20

He said it several times.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

22. That interview was weird as heck.

Maybe it'll post online soon and I'll get to hear the beginning of it again.

He seemed to back off his initial strong wording as it continued.

[MoonlitKnight]

24. Colin Powell doublespeak

Meant to obfuscate and confuse. He used a lot of words to essentially say nothing.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

25. Sure seemed like it.

Maybe he just meant that he WANTS it to happen, like someone WANTING magical superpowers?

Worthless!

[DURHAM D]

17. Exactly, just wants to wait.

Powell thinks he is good at double speak. He is not.

I remember how he drove Madeleine Albright absolutely nuts with his habitual block and parry blah, blah, blah.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

10. Colin

He sounds different. His speech.

[Midnight Writer]

11. We are totally vulnerable to attack from without.

If Trump issues orders to military, they will not know if they are legit or just Trump throwing a tantrum.

[MyOwnPeace]

19. Terrifying, isn't it?

when you lie over 20,000 times, when do you know it is the truth?

[samnsara]

13. maybe he knows the Cigarette man?

[MyOwnPeace]

21. Bond. James Bond..........

[LuvNewcastle]

14. It seems like there would have to be another way.

The 25th and impeachment take time. What about a situation where you don't have the time? What if, for some reason, Congress and/or the Cabinet can't be consulted? They plan for every eventuality, so they must have come up with a scenario like this.

[Wicked Blue]

15. Sounds like he thinks 13 days is fast enough

I'm listening to him on CNN

[Buckeye_Democrat]

18. He seems to be all over the place with this interview.

I started this thread after the beginning of it.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

20. To be honest

He sounded like he had been drinking.

[MyOwnPeace]

23. After years in the Army......

and serving under Bush/Cheney, he deserves a drink or two!

Should have just gone to the bar before that speech at the UN for WMD!

[William769]

26. This is how

[Buckeye_Democrat]

28. Lol!

I suspect the he just meant that he WANTS it, but he offered nothing in how to do it. He kept getting softer as it continued.
