That's all you got out of that letter? n/t cynatnite Dec 2018 #2

No. Thats my 'general' sense of gen mattis being w trump for two years. Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #4

Well for one, Mattis never had the power to arrest anyone... cynatnite Dec 2018 #7

Anyone can make a citizens arrest. Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #9

"Anyone can make a citizen's arrest"--have you ever seen "anyone" actually do so for any reason? Hekate Dec 2018 #54

Boy Hekate. You dont miss a chance to kick me in the face, or be ugly to me. Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #55

I agree with you. True Blue American Dec 2018 #44

You are correct n/t malaise Dec 2018 #27

Don't be foolish Loki Liesmith Dec 2018 #3

Serious question... ADX Dec 2018 #6

Doesnt matter what I am. I dont have to be anything to have an opinion. Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #8

As the saying goes, opinions are like assholes...everybody has one. elocs Dec 2018 #16

Yes. I guess that means you called me an asshole. Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #18

You guess wrong, but I'm sure somebody could explain the saying to you. elocs Dec 2018 #21

I see. I understand you being angry. I'm pretty angry too. Not enough to burn down people here Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #23

No, I'm not angry. The saying simply means opinions are common. elocs Dec 2018 #28

If you *were* a military veteran, you would have recognized the saying immediately... Hekate Dec 2018 #56

You dont know anything about me. And it shows. Merry Christmas. Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #57

And a thoughtful Solstice to you. The year turns, and perhaps the returning light presages good.nt Hekate Dec 2018 #58

Thanks for saying that. Means a lot to me. Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #59

I asked you a simple question... ADX Dec 2018 #22

Im certainly not ranting. I deleted the post. I said I understand. Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #25

Yup. He should have... zentrum Dec 2018 #33

Im sick to my stomach, I had faith he was the ace in the hole. Just caught me off guard a little. Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #34

If Mattis had spoken out sooner True Blue American Dec 2018 #45

Ok, I see what you're saying but zentrum Dec 2018 #49

I see your point,too. True Blue American Dec 2018 #51

Yep. Mattis has my respect. akraven Dec 2018 #15

Me too. Really disappointed. Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #17

I took one in 1974. I still respect it. akraven Dec 2018 #19

Yes Sr. Ive sworn them too. Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #20

I volunteered. akraven Dec 2018 #24

So disappointing. Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #26

He is a traitor. Period. n/t akraven Dec 2018 #29

Not sure about Gen being a traitor, but, he sure let me down. Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #30

I meant sTrumpet. Sorry I wasn't clear! akraven Dec 2018 #31

Be well. Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #32

Wow, Crutchez, that bit about Mattis "arresting" people is sheer lunacy. As for the military... Hekate Dec 2018 #10

Its ok. Im really disappointed. I understand folks not agreeing. Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #12

His words "you have the right"... zentrum Dec 2018 #43

I watched TRMS and others last night to flush out the letter I couldnt open. Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #50

Happy Holidays to you too! zentrum Dec 2018 #52

Amen on that! True Blue American Dec 2018 #46

I can't agree with anything you said there. highplainsdem Dec 2018 #11

Its ok. Im not trying to swim against the current on purpose. We all have our own lives to reckon Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #13

He couldve done more. You know it too. Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #5

Swearing an oath means something. Crutchez_CuiBono Dec 2018 #14

I got same sense as that former WH official: Mattis was pissed off & wanted it known. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Dec 2018 #35

It's about respecting the office and the institution, not the man. Trump threatens all of it... Hekate Dec 2018 #61
