Showing Original Post only (View all)Did anyone see the comments of General Colin Powell on CNN this morning? [View all]
For me, it was almost shocking in its clarity.
He pulled few punches. He emphasized what we have lost around the world in prestige and respect and how Trump lies all the time and how he thought he alone could invite the Russian leader, Putin, back into the G7?
He also said that he would be voting for Joe Biden.
I hope there were Republicans watching and listening carefully to his words.
He is trying to pull them back from the ledge, in my opinion.

Which is why it is the retired generals, and not the active military, that are criticizing trump.

Because the generals are, like, "giving permission" and "cover" for the other active duty officers

Agreed. I can't stand Colin Powell but a fair number of people still respect him.

People learn the most from their mistakes, so it makes no sense to ignore people who have made them.
