A Marine responds to Mattis

[What if...?]

I love how liberals think they're "we," i.e. everyone.

And stunning how they casually smear people of high integrity with zero evidence.

More stunning that it's always OK when trump does it.

Even when he disrespected the parents of a dead soldier.

 

[Termn8or]

Nah.

Buncha manufactured narratives from conservative media cobbled together by a trump sycophant.

Get something from someone who isn't already a known lickspittle dog, then we can talk.

Hell, you came in here with "a Marine replies to Mattis" apparently hoping we would not notice which marine.

You did not say "former trump lawyer and Marine".

Why was that?

Because Marines wear honor as a badge of pride, and Dowd is an honorable man, from everything I've read.

Because even if a homeless person wrote the words, they ought to be examined for what they are.

John Dowd? Trump's personal attorney from Jun 2017 to Mar 2018

John M. Dowd - Wikipedia

Trump tried selling this BS as well... nobody buying it but the faithful...

Trump tweets copy of letter from lawyer John Dowd to Jim Mattis

We thank Dowd for his service in the JAG... Charging up those hills to file pleadings, etc.. :2razz:

i can literally find 1000s of people that will swear the earth is flat.


now, racists in our country are gonna search out individuals to support their case. all they need are a dozen.

 

[What if...?]

All I've done is ask that liberals read his claims and, gasp, consider them.

You won't do that, so get stuffed.

We've all heard and dismissed this nonsense already.

It isn't our fault that consumers of conservative media have a recent history distinct from the rest of the world.

Just saying **** over and over only works every time on y'all.

Mattis was never in sync with Trump's view of how the military should be used.
To Mattis, Trump's early offense was his view of NATO.
Later on it was Trump's opinion that our military shouldn't be used to fight someone else's battles.
Was Mattis a saint and Obama a sinner when he fired Mattis?
Did Mattis garner all this support and was there condemnation of Obama from DPers then?

Mattis must be believed and his integrity not questioned because he has attacked Trump.

That's all liberals need.

No thought, no facts, no research, nothing except Declarations.

 

[The AntiDonald]

I haven't seen one single sincere response yet, so obviously I conclude no one has read it.

It is proved beyond the slightest doubt that there was a massive abuse of power against Trump. Everyone inside the Beltway knows that.

Everyone in the MSM knows that.

That Mattis never spoke up against it, yet speaks out at exactly the wrong raises loud alarm bells to anyone with common sense.

As it did to Dowd, who explicitly accuses Mattis of subtly assisting it in his condemnation of Trump.

Well you conclude wrong. Let's face it folks, Trump is on a slow spin down the toilet. You'll eventually grasp whats going on. Until then, your arguments are getting less and less viable.

I have an idea. Try drinking some Clorox. I hear it will dilute and help flush the Kool-Aid from your system.

And yet another liberal who refuses to read what Dowd wrote or consider his claims. Speaking of cults.:lol: Thanks for not playing.

Anyone who opposes you is not automatically a liberal, while, on the other hand, you will always be a Trump cultist.

Your claims, until support them, are worthless.

 

[What if...?]

They are propaganda messaging top to bottom.

Lawyer speak.

From a clearly biased source.

Most of conservative "truth" is no such thing anymore.

It totally amazes me how you people cheered Mattis on when Trump appointed him. What do you suppose has changed? Please explain.

 

[Rexedgar]

From the end of the first paragraph: Last week, he took to the pages of the left-wing Atlantic magazine to air that grievance.


The American Thinker is going to call out a political bias?......:lamo

We are talking about Mattis's opinion of Trump, not the whataboutism of his relationship with Obama.

Trump is a trog when it comes to grasping what the military and allies are for and how to use them.

Real America honors Mattis's service.

You question the integrity of a marine general who served 44 years over a lawyer who served in the JAG 50 years ago? Yeah, I think we get why you trumped out Dowd's letter trying to make it sound like he was just some random marine...

"Cultist?" I see Trump for what he is, warts and excellent achievements.

But yet one more time A) a false personal attack

and B) no response to Dowd's words.

 

[What if...?]

Hmm... could that be due to you agreeing with one or the other? The point is that the POTUS is the current CINC and thus outranks both of them. I do not agree with many of Trump's policy positions, but have no reason to question the right of the POTUS to hold "unpopular" views or consider them to be "divisive" simply because I disagree with them.

But I do reserve the right to dismiss the stupid and hateful and self serving out of hand.

That doesn't leave much he has ever said. And that is largely just incoherent rambling punctuated with pauses for cheers.

What are Trump's excellent achievements?

The wall? There's still 1,900 miles of unfenced border between us and Mexico.

A lower tax rate for rich people?

As usual, zero consideration for what Dowd wrote.

Thanks for not playing.

I am willing to question both Mattis and Dowd. On a mountain of evidence I have read for over three years, Dowd wins.

Yes, given Matti's complete silence in the face of the stunning assault on Trump every day he's been in office, I question Matti's judgment if not his character.

Of course you will believe Dowd, that was your whole point in starting this thread..... You wanted to pass him off as someone other than who he is....

Apparently blind hatred does that to some people.

I get a chuckle when I hear someone like Mattis, or anyone really, talk about bringing people together rather than dividing them.
That's the thing to say these days and he knows it. You want good media, that's what you say.
But hearing it from Biden or Mattis or Kelly or Schumer, or Pelosi etc. strikes a particularly off-key chord.

Someone should ask them with whom they would bring rioters & looters together?

 

[What if...?]

And yet another liberal who refuses to read what Dowd wrote or consider his claims.

Thanks for not playing.

It is clear that many of us did indeed read it.

We didn't have to consider it because it's just regurgitation of conservative media narratives.

You're sure that heads are going to roll.

Yet Hillary is still not in jail. Why is that? You were as sure about that too, I'm willing to bet.

 

[What if...?]

I love unintentional liberal humor.:lol:

Yeah!

We all know trump can't write that fluently.

Had trump written it would have read like a third grader wrote it.

And include multiple references to himself in the third person.

 

[swing_voter]

These actions came on top of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff's release of a statement to *all* commanding officers of every branch of the armed forces reminding them all that they swear an "oath to the Constitution," that the Constitution gives "Americans the right to freedom of speech and peaceful assembly," and then handwrote a message that they have all "committed their lives to the idea that is America" and they would all "stay true to that oath and the American people."


If that wasn't enough, today the entire senior leadership of the Army released a statement to the troops reminding them that they all "swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution [and] that includes the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of their grievances."


And now a letter from the senior leadership of the Navy (copy in the comments) telling all sailors and Marines that they are the "strongest Navy and Marine Corps BECAUSE of our diversity," quoting MLK Jr. that "The time is always right to do what is right," and encouraging folks to discuss the death of George Flynn with their people with the understanding that "the outrage sparked by his death goes much deeper across many communities in our great Nation."








So you now have the entire Military backing General Mattis. Army, Navy, and Marines.

And on Trump's side you have fat little Dowd, who is hoping Trump will hire him when Trump is kicked out of office this November.

So Obama wasn't real america. (that's why I mentioned him - to point out opinions that are based on something other than reason)

 

[What if...?]

Freaking amazing the responses given.

As liberals stupidly claim that informed, thoughtful people are part of a "cult."

You sound just like a cult member.

You know that, right?

Oh wait. Nobody in a cult ever thought they were in a cult.

They always think they hold the real truth and the rest of the world has been decieved.
