Mattis tears into Trump: 'We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership'
He should have said this, when he was in the administration?!!
(CNN)Former Secretary of Defense James Mattis castigated President Donald Trump as "the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people" in a forceful rebuke of his former boss as nationwide protests have intensified over the death of George Floyd.
"Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us," Mattis said.
"We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children."
His pointed remarks follow more than a week of nationwide protests across the country calling for justice for Floyd, a black man who was killed last week by a white police officer in Minneapolis. In response, Trump earlier this week declared himself "your president of law and order" and vowed to return order to American streets using the military if widespread violence isn't quelled.

Thought this would have a little more discussion on the board today.
Really scathing from Mattis in particular. And I'm sure the right-wing attack machine will turn on him.
But how many good, experienced, intelligent people do they have to take down to try to defend a clown like Trump? At what point does it get through?
It's frustrating. The emperor has no clothes, but some still refuse to see it.

A lot of them fear nonsensical things like Socialism run amok, religion and guns outlawed, 5G, Bill Gates killing children with polio vaccines, Sharia Law and forced abortions.
Liberals tears leads the list.
It makes no sense and I’ve given up any hope of having reasonable conversations with people who still support Trump at this point.

Mullins, Mattis, Will, Robertson.

"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
Mattis is bitter because T fired him
What does that change??
NOTHING!!!
What someone thinks or feels about someone does not change the facts, something most of you could give a shit less about..........

Mattis is well respected within the military and especially in the Marine Corps, which has supported Trump the most. When Mattis was forced out of the WH, Trump's favorability in the military dropped. If the "right-wing attack machine" turns on General Mattis, the favorability of the entire Trump administration will drop like a rock among the rank and file of the military.

Trump’s 42 percent approval in the latest poll, conducted from Oct. 23 to Dec. 2, sets his lowest mark in the survey since being elected president. Some 50 percent of troops said they had an unfavorable view of him. By comparison, just a few weeks after his electoral victory in November 2016, 46 percent of troops surveyed had a positive view of the businessman-turned-politician, and 37 percent had a negative opinion.
