Dude was in the Navy since 78 or so.
We should listen to him because he is a ****ing expert in his field.

He's a Trump hater and his opinion means zero to me. Might as well quote Rachel Maddow.

McRaven is certainly not a Trump hater and he is certainly not afflicted by TDS as are Trump's followers. His opinion counts.

The "Admiral" is, of course, entitled to his opinion.

However, just because he is an Admiral who "oversaw the raid that killed Bin Laden" doesn't make his opinion dispositive.

Neither did the fact Vindman was a Lt. Colonel in the army make HIS opinion of what went on dispositive.

These appeals to authority on issues where they neither have actual authority (which the President does), nor more than at best an advisory role (as Vindman had)...combined with $1.00, might get you a cup of coffee.

That's about all they are worth to anyone other than partisans seeking reinforcement of their existing confirmation bias. :coffeepap:

Oh, McRaven's comments are dispositive. Yours are merely your opinions and are not.

No, Trump and you appear to hate the Constitution, the separation of powers as well as checks and balances. The President may be insane. He certainly acts it.

Yeah, right, OK. I won't lose any sleep at all over the opinion of someone who used to be someone.

I don't question why far left radicals call us cultists. It's because you have nothing else. So sad.
