Listen to yourself lol...Mattis was protecting his job although there was no need to since everyone knew.One of the excerpts had Mattis saying Trump has the same understanding of the situation on the Korean Peninsula as "a fifth- or sixth-grader."Thanks anyway. I'll take General Mattis's word when he denied ever saying anything against President Trump.
I don't see anything wrong with the Mattis statement. It's completely true. It's common knowledge in Washington that Trump's knows very little about foreign affairs. He addressed this in his campaign. He has made a number mistakes reflecting his lack of knowledge of North Korea, Afghanistan, and European countries. In fact, Trump has an appalling ignorance of the current world, of history, of previous American engagement, of what former Presidents thought and did. His knowledge is exactly what you would expect of a US Real Estate developer in the White House.
Prior to being president Trump had visited only 7 countries excluding Mexico, Canada, and Caribbean over the last 20 years. He had never been to the far east, South America, nor Africa and had no contact with any heads of state.
Mattis like Kelly was making political statements to protect his job. It's totally understandable although there was no reason to do so since he was saying what every knew.
So was there a need to protect his job or not. lol
What I mean is there should be no need to protect his job because he's telling the truth and what he's saying is common knowledge in Washington. Trump has even admitted his lack of knowledge of foreign affairs. However, with Trump's obsession for loyalty, no one's job is really safe so it's quite understandable why Mattis would deny the statement.Listen to yourself lol...Mattis was protecting his job although there was no need to since everyone knew.One of the excerpts had Mattis saying Trump has the same understanding of the situation on the Korean Peninsula as "a fifth- or sixth-grader."Thanks anyway.

That is as possible as Hillary writing it.Trump had someone write it and do it. That is what I truly believe before the book Fear comes out. He is getting so much backing from his base,
Oh there is a deep state, Everyone is against him, poor Trump, and there is a coup going on, everything he says is true.
Wow! So you are in Canada and not here in the USA???The official release date is Sept. 11...........dummy!Trump had someone write it and do it. That is what I truly believe before the book Fear comes out. He is getting so much backing from his base,
Oh there is a deep state, Everyone is against him, poor Trump, and there is a coup going on, everything he says is true.
Before it comes out? What is the date on your planet?

If the piece in the Times is to believed, undermining the democratically elected choice was not this person's purpose but rather to protect a rather inept president and the nation while supporting many of his better ideas.Im with you Jim. But it doesnt really matter. Whether it is a mole set up to bring down Trump from inside or the NYT trying to bring down Trump from the outside the audience is the same. People too stupid to see or too evil to care about the cognitive dissonance required for this....
"That is why many Trump appointees have vowed to do what we can to preserve our democratic institutions while thwarting Mr. Trump’s..."
LOL...they are going to preserve democracy while undermining the democratically elected choice!
And they added a PS the NYT times didnt print but should have,
Freedom is Slavery
War is Peace
Ignorance is strength
Anyhow..just more deep state elite shenanigans. Completely fake but irrelevant if leftists inside or outside the Whitehouse wrote it.

Bob Woodward's publisher says it's printing 1 million copies of 'Fear'Penny. You really need to put down the pipe and get some fresh air.Trump had someone write it and do it. That is what I truly believe before the book Fear comes out. He is getting so much backing from his base,
Oh there is a deep state, Everyone is against him, poor Trump, and there is a coup going on, everything he says is true.
Well, I actually agree with Penny on this.
That Oped has served Trump quite well before the election and has upstaged Woodwards ridiculous book before it comes out.
Qe bono?
Again, before it comes out? What is the date on your planet?
That book has already been sliced, diced and Julienne fried by more people than you can shake a stick at!

I posted years on this forum that I have a summer residence in Canada we sometimes visit.Wow! So you are in Canada and not here in the USA???The official release date is Sept. 11...........dummy!Trump had someone write it and do it. That is what I truly believe before the book Fear comes out. He is getting so much backing from his base,
Oh there is a deep state, Everyone is against him, poor Trump, and there is a coup going on, everything he says is true.

Mattis didn't lie because there was no real contemptuous words. The Secretary of Defense said Mr Trump was acting like — and having the understanding of — a "fifth- or sixth-grader."What I mean is there should be no need to protect his job because he's telling the truth and what he's saying is common knowledge in Washington. Trump has even admitted his lack of knowledge of foreign affairs.

I may be a bit niave, but the US military code of honor prohibits him lying to keep his job.
You may not buy it, but honesty is an irreplaceable value among military officers who have to have 100% confidence that the other officers they work with are loyal and honest.
None of this fits with Woodwards claims.

Trump has little knowledge of foreign affairs. He has admitted, joked about it. Members of congress on both sides of the aisle talk about.
I really don't approve of this. I think this person is going to make bad things a lot worse. Trump will become even more suspicious of his staff. Where Trump needs experienced advisers, he's going to be looking for loyal soldiers that will stand behind him and protect his back.
We have a neophyte who's making decisions based on a rather distorted view of government and Washington politics.
The Anonymous Op Ed serves no purpose for the Left...
It took away the momentum of the Woodward book coming out, with all the news stations covering the pre-book drop marketing campaign.... it put a halt to it.... which benefited Trump and Republicans in the upcoming election.
It was poorly written imo, as if it cut and pasted different parts of different articles in the press the past year, to make a summary...
As example:
-it was already reported that Trump was childlike and that there were ''adults in the room'' in his administration to watch over him...
-it was already reported that Steve Bannon mentioned people discussing the use of the 25th amendment to remove Trump
And then there were all of these intentional so call ''clues'' to misdirect who Anonymous Ed was... like claiming he was part of ''the resistance'' and trying to latch on to that, when the Resistance is a liberal movement that does NOT represent, Anonymous Ed's beliefs AT ALL....?
And then anonymous ed, says he believes in the good things Trump has done like the Tax cuts mainly for the wealthiest, and the border wall, and deregulation... all things the real republicans, or never Trumpers could latch on to as good....
it was like he was trying to play a Jack of all trades...
but master of none!
And then the hints slipped in that implicated other people like lonestar.... pointing a finger at Pence being the culprit....
The whole anonymous op ed was not written by the New York Times... they would have done a much better job than this Anonymous Ed, character!!!
And what was the purpose of the op ed??? WHY would he want to draw attention to himself and others behind the scene KNOWING it would make Trump go crazier and on a hunt for the witch who wrote it?
NONE OF THIS makes any sense to me, when the only person who could and would benefit from it, is President Trump?
-he could claim deep state was out to get him
-he could fire a bunch of people using lack of loyalty as an excuse
-it directed the news away from the Woodward book drop
-etc.
YEAH, I think so too! Otherwise, it simply makes no sense!The Anonymous Op Ed serves no purpose for the Left...

In situations like this, one can only look at who benefits the most to get a clue about 'who dun it?'
Which is why I suspect Trump may have pulled a fast one on the NYT.
I really don't approve of this. I think this person is going to make bad things a lot worse. Trump will become even more suspicious of his staff. Where Trump needs experienced advisers, he's going to be looking for loyal soldiers that will stand behind him and protect his back.
Yeah, and he has trusted too many former Bush people as it is. Neocons are never to be trusted as they think their long term goals justify just about anything they do.
We have a neophyte who's making decisions based on a rather distorted view of government and Washington politics.
In DC 'distorted' = everybody else's 'common sense'.
A president no matter how knowledge he is of the operations of the executive, legislative, and judicial branch of government, economic policies, foreign affairs, military operations, and constitutional limits and requirements of government, that president must have the advice of experts.I really don't approve of this. I think this person is going to make bad things a lot worse. Trump will become even more suspicious of his staff.
