    Default Pentagon brass IGNORED Trump, didn't buy his partisan bullshit, showed him the door

    Barbara Starr

    @barbarastarrcnn

    Today at Pentagon in front of top commanders Trump blamed what he called Democratic "fringe" and "radical" left. and Speaker Pelosi for not acting on his border plans. Entire room stayed silent and did not applaud partisan remarks.

    He has become pathetic.

    Insignificant.

    Sad.

    He needs to go.

    Oh come on.

    You have to admit it was a cute post.

    I could have said "in space."

    But the moon has such a ring to it.

    And we are even coming up on a blood moon.

    Moon it had to be.

    Hint:

    It is a major embarrassment for the President to say something extraordinary, and have major important people ignore him because they all know it is pure propaganda.

    Go ahead and try to rationalize it all you want. He was there to speak about missile defense, as if he knows shit about that, and he tried to politicize things by bringing up the wall. They would have none of that.

    He tried the same bullshit at the CIA his first day in office, trying to talk about the ‘largest inauguration crowd in history’. Another piece of shit lie.

    And while I can’t recall the topic, he tried similar bullshit with the Boy Scouts in 2017

    Just for the dumb fuck and his usual lack of knowledge. Has nothing to do with Pelosi you freaking idiot:

    https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/17/polit...gon/index.html

    Washington (CNN)Two years into his presidency, Donald Trump is fueling unprecedented uncertainty and anxiety inside the Pentagon. In private conversations over the past month, many of them unsolicited, more than a dozen key military officers, enlisted personnel and senior civilians have expressed worry and concern to CNN. None of the officials have spoken publicly about this, as military law prohibits active-duty personnel from criticizing a sitting president.

    It's not just Trump's unpredictable decision making that has officials on edge, it's also his penchant for politicizing the military— something that's come into focus in recent months as he's struggled to fulfill his campaign promise to crack down on immigration and build a border wall. His decision to draw down troops in Syria and his claims that ISIS is defeated have also rankled military commanders who felt it wasn't well thought out.

    Some of the highest-ranking officers say there is a new atmosphere of unease inside the Pentagon, particularly among some of the most senior ranks, over the President's inclination to use the military to achieve certain partisan policy objectives. Behind the scenes officials are trying to keep it all at bay. "The amount of time we have to spend making sure our statements and what we say is apolitical is astronomically higher than ever before," one senior military officer told CNN.
    "2Timothy 3 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away"
