Jim Mattis Compared Trump to ‘Fifth or Sixth Grader,’ Bob Woodward Says in Book

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/04/us/p ... roid-share


Trump, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, did not condemn Russia or President Vladimir Putin for Navalny’s death – standing in stark contrast to the swift and forceful reactions from Western leaders, including President Joe Biden, who blamed Putin in a speech from the White House hours after reports of Navalny’s death.

In Trump’s most extensive comments yet about Navalny, the former president said Tuesday: “Navalny, he was a very sad situation, and he’s very brave. He was a very brave guy because he went back, he could’ve stayed away and frankly probably would’ve been a lot better off staying away and talking from outside of the country as opposed to having to go back in.”

“And it’s a horrible thing. But it’s happening in our country too. We are turning into a communist country in many ways. And if you look at it, I’m the leading candidate, I got indicted … I got indicted four times, I have eight or nine trials … all because of the facts that I’m in politics,” Trump said.


This from the Hero 0f Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School..

"I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon," Trump told governors meeting at the White House to discuss school safety."

In any civilized gathering such comments would suck the oxygen right out the stadium...but among MAGAts it generates debate about whether they are beholding Jesus, the new von Clausewitz, or Chuck Norris.

And I don't mean that in a good way.

You know he uses one when the cameras aren't rolling.

This is Veghead's idea of intelligent thoughts, sarcasm.       

For your upcoming reply: 7

Reference sheet for Veghead's advanced stage dementia and incessant redundancies.

1. Media Comment = You can't refute it it (VF caption is one of many examples). 
2. "Are these your words/fee-fees)?" or "**** writes itself" = random quotes strung together for you to pretend they are meaningful. 
3. Two pics: First pic- you admitted that you are lying about it, per the deal. Second pic- our notifications are comparable, minus the spam. 
4. "Does the rule apply to you?" = Yes, but I don't violate it because I answer member's questions. You don't. Thus, you are punished for it.
5. Questions/demands = Rule, idiot. 1k greenies. Or **** your questions/demands.
6. Projection
7. "Post your thoughts": My OPs idiot or "it's your thread, your job."
8. "You are lying"  = You are lying by saying I am lying.
9. Creeping in profiles= **** you stalker. Die. 
10. Strikethroughs = Too much of a coward to read past 3 words...then makes an *** out of himself for it.
11. Revisiting the same **** over and over: 60k greenies or STFU
12.   "prove you are not a moron": You first. No thoughts of your own. See your OPs for proof.

He was a prisoner within Russia, with their rules and such.  Trump is not the President. 

Biden is the President, and Biden didn't do anything to prevent this from happening.  Not sure he could have. Internal Russian business.  

I think you are just making up stuff regarding things no one cares about.

You have been kissing his *** for years.  Some don't think he was an effective Sec Def.

Mattis was a deeply flawed defense secretary

The recent fawning evaluations are hard to square with his record.

Perspective by Bob Wilson
Bob Wilson is a retired Army Colonel. He served on the National Security Council in the Obama and Trump administrations and commanded U.S. special operations forces in combat in Afghanistan.
December 27, 2018 at 6:00 a.m. EST

Jim Mattis’s resignation from the Trump administration, and his subsequent accelerated dismissal, prompted responses that bordered on the hagiographic. Tellingly, most of the anecdotes in these articles and columns emphasized his career up to the point when Mattis walked into the Pentagon as defense secretary, rather than his performance in that role — which was decidedly lackluster.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/ ... y-defense/

Now, you can't attack the source.  The author is a retired US SPEC OPS Colonel who led troops in Afghanistan and served on the NSC in both the Obama and Trump administrations.

In this case you will have to actually make a case to support your man crush on Mattis.

The original MD 20/20 was 20% alcohol... the new stuff is only like 13, depending on the flavor.

I bought a bottle of the Orange as a gag house warming gift for a buddy a couple years back and I think it was only 12.5%. I was kind of disappointed.

That old MD would **** you up, and you were guaranteed to puke before the night was over too I remember a quart was only like a buck or so too. We would buy two and slam the first one, and then start sipping on the second one. It was awful.

Boones Farm was much better.

Good times.
