Because it’s Trump I’ve just got to ask, did Gen. Dunford know he was retiring?

Even France is about him. I can’t wait until he’s gone.

So when do we bomb / invade ______________________________?

Dotard needs some major deflection before Muellerfest…

And this means what, exactly? These factoid dumps are frustrating. I know it’s Saturday, but this is not useful news delivery.

Anybody know anything Milley? Just curious if we need to brace for martial law

so what is wrong with Milley? Pretty much has to be something or he wouldnt have gotten the job

Probability that this tweet was actually composed by TinyFingers is vanishingly small. TPM headline editors, when are you and the rest of journalism going to start accurately describing these twitter outbursts as “Trump Spox Announces …”? It is a matter of public record that multiple staffers have access to the account, in which case you are being deliberately obtuse by routinely attributing to Dumpster himself.

Yes, my point. And, yes, anything coherent should be described as a Tweet coming from lardass’s account.

Not soon enough. That kind of thing worked for Reagan and I’m tired of those guys kicking our asses in World Cup Soccer. We can drain their cars of motor oil and convert it to diesel and call it a win.

Clean coal would be better, IMHO…

I wish Trinidad and Tobago had kicked our asses in World Cup instead of keeping our asses from even qualifying.

At any rate, it was never a fair fight. There’s two of them and only one of us.

Diaper Donny , when it comes tumblin* down , where are YOU gonna run away to ?

Mattis had recommended Gen. David Goldfein, the current Air Force Chief of Staff, to be the incoming Chairman when Dunford completes his stint in Fall 2019, so a bit of a slap in the face to Mattis.

It’s also tradition that the Chair position rotates among the different branches of the military, so the Air Force was due. Mattis gets along with Milley, though, so shouldn’t be a problem – assuming Mattis as SecDef lasts until Milley is approved by the Senate and appointed.

Milley will be in for a four-year term (new law passed in 2017).
