Discussion: Paula Broadwell: Hearing Petraeus Is Up For Trump's Cabinet Is 'A Bit Of A Shocker'

She says she hasn’t been allowed to move on with hers since the affair became known publicly in 2012.


The moment when either she or Petraeus do the same amount of time as Chelsea Manning or even Mike Vick, is when I’ll start shedding tears.

The notion that a member of the Cabinet would need to notify their probation officer about travel plan is nuts. Even more so if he is being considered for Sec of State, which would entail substantial overseas traffic. I’m trying to imagine the reaction if Obama was considering such a thing.

I’m am certain I am not interested in anything she has to say.

Why be shocked? Patraeus is a convicted criminal who should’ve been jailed. Instead he got to keep his $220,000/yr. pension plus all his other military benefits for him and his family. He’s a perfect fit for the Klown’s Keystone Kabinet. It’s called failing upwards.

Dear Paula, It was a bit of a shocker for me, too. It shouldn’t be, though, as it appears the Trump cabinet will be a cadre of billionaires, crazies, criminals and unqualified misfits.

You lie! You won’t be shedding tears. You’ll be at my house drinking caiparinhas and dancing to sambas all night long. Heck, I may even have to write a samba to commemorate the occasion. I think I’ll call it Samba Para Aquele Pobre Bastardo.

Don’t forget to bring your trombone!

On the list of things I don’t feel bad about, this is up there with Betsy DeVos having to take long meetings in the presence of Trump, Bannon, Sessions, Carson, etc. behind closed doors.
