Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman retires, citing campaign of ‘bullying’ and ‘retaliation’ by Trump after i

Fred.....this is the tribal mentality on display here. We witness daily how society operates to keep us in control. This site is just a little window into the control mechanisms we should all be on the lookout for. They hope that their opponent is weak and insecure because they cannot indoctrinate and control someone strong and self assured. The way it is done is for the opposing tribe to gang up on the individual who is a threat to their ideology and we see this on CNN, MSNBS and MSM in general with the ridiculing, vitriol, demeaning and demonizing of those who disagree with them, in the hopes that the individual will shut up. Lately though, they have taken an even more insidious route of ganging up on anyone who supports the president as a warning shot to anyone from their tribe (Latinos) who would buy from a Hispanic food store that praised Trump.

I know all of the tactics these people use and can spot them from a mile away. They eventually succeed in many cases though because people just don't want to be continually hammered by the opposing tribe.

Yes, they're restricted to threats and intimidation, which is the only way they can establish their muddled headed beliefs. They can't do it through honest debate or logic so those are the only avenues open to them.

Leftists, or 'progressives', only listen to each other, which is why they feel comfortable in saying, "no one over here believes a word you type". They haven't had an original thought or independent idea in their lives.

And that very well could be the reason for the sudden retirement. Retire and then announce his book deal... coming out before the election.

Yes, perfect timing.

Vindman was upset because Trump ignored the talking points he developed for his conversation with the Ukrainian leader. That’s all.
 
The AntiDonald said:
How was he harassed?

Fired from the national security counsel. His brother the same. Trump tweeted numerous times denigrating Vindman. If that's not harassment, explain to me what is. Numerous conservative TV hosts constantly trashed him during and after the hearings.

Trump got his pound of flesh for now as he always does. But in November, we will get our ton of flesh and boot anyone and everyone that even knew Trump. BYEDON

He was removed from his White House position - as expected given the situation. Assuming he doesn't subscribe to the twitter feed, what intimidation has he faced?

For real injuries. Or fake.

Exactly. What sort if injuries? Bump on the head? I'll bet that was it.

It seems safe to say that this favorite of the Ukrainian government is easily intimidated.

You as active duty EP admitted to the school banked your EP pay and ran.

Sounds like a yellow heart.

I was in the Army when at USMAPS. I had been in the Army for 2 years before I went to USMAPS. I got paid every month just like always. USMAPS did not hold my money for me.

No. I did not get a PH. I spent my tour as an 82nd ABN soldier at Ft. Bragg, except for the time I spent at USMAPS. General Flynn had a purple heart with oak leaf cluster, in case you are curious. Flynn also had a bronze star medal with "V" device, a true American hero. All I got were mild medals. I did get an ARCOM, however, and a rare 82nd Abn 'Super Trooper' badge generally given out to recipients of the Trooper of the Year award. I got mine for finishing at the top of the class in my NCO leadership school.

If Trump resigns before the election, guess who will be president. Can you guess, or do you need a hint?

Yes, Pence for a few months. So what, the man has wack-a-doo ideas, but no time to implement them. More importantly, Pence is not a sociopath suffering from acute narcissistic personality disorder. He is an upgrade. Hell, Dick Cheney is an upgrade from this.... at least for the six months remaining.

Yes, Pence gives Republicans a slightly better chance to win, but the Republicans are so buried that twice nothing is not much.

Still laughing.

I am a capitalist and a democrat as well as a Democrat.

Which leaves you and your moron ignoramus people totally confused and entangled in your Rightwing illiterate ideology.

You can begin to untangle by learning proper nouns.

Your newest claim is contrary to USMAPS policy and what you said the last time you and I discussed this a couple of years ago.

This is consistent given PutinTrumpRowers can't be believed about anything.

Republican Party has become what we fought against throughout the 20th century.

Election chaos same as the general chaos of the past four years guarantees it will never rule in government again.

Trying to be cute makes it worse yet.

Nay it's the PutinTrump Rowers who are frozen in fear and horror of saying anything critical of Trump because he will purge you and he will twit against you until he crushes you.

Criticism of the Cult Leader is verboten absolutely.

We have seen this for four years now.

You are ill-informed. I got paid by the Army like always. I don't know who is telling you otherwise. Maybe you have USMAPS policy mixed up with West Point policy. West Point does hold it cadets' money. When I was at West Point for 3 days with the Prep School I visited a friend of mine who was a senior there at the time. He told me he had a shot at being the 'money man' after graduation. I asked him what that was. He told me that the graduate with the lowest grades who still graduates gets $100 from every other senior there as a consolation prize.
