Mattis Roasts Trump By Invoking Bone Spurs, Meryl Streep

[hahagoodman]

irrelevant observations that won’t dissuade any of his current supporters from continuing the travesty of his presidency.

Nothing will dissuade his supporters. Their kind of stupidity/bigotry/hatred can only be out voted.

[HollisBang]

The dachshunds agree. (And they will help with the ankles.)

The mini schnauzers want in. They will bark the face off.

[lizzymom]

I have no doubt that Mattis will speak out more forcefully, and in the not-too-distant future. …
And when he does speak out, it will be on his terms, in the manner in which he was trained, and it will be devastating to Trump.

From your keyboard to FSM’s noodly appendage.

The Miniature Pinschers are all in. They’ll cover exposed toes and insteps.

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

I don’t want to hear another f *ing thing from Jim Mattis unless he’s testifying in front of Congress in open session and telling us everything he saw and observed that led to his resignation/firing.

Yes! But he won’t because he doesn’t want to rock his comfortable and lucrative boat. After implementing the Zero-Tolerance policy with John Kelly, he rejoined the board of General Dynamics, which profits from holding babies in cages. Fuck him and all the generals who betrayed us.

F **k him again. I don’t want to hear another f** *ing thing from Jim Mattis

OK, but tell me what you really think.

My terrier mix is ready to bark at him till his eardrums bleed

My dogs have a sense of character that I have come to trust. I’m pretty sure all dogs are naturally freaked out by Dotard. FSM knows what they would smell.

Conservative Wapo writer/Trump critic Jennifer Rubin wrote she wishes Mattis were speaking more “candidly” about his time in the WH and Trump’s foreign policy decisions…

“If Mattis is willing to testify under oath, why is he not willing to speak candidly when not under oath?

So will Trump’s moniker for Mattis as the overrated general propel him to speak candidly in public?

I think for Mattis it was a matter of choosing his battles.

OT but can’t resist posting for all the dog/cat posters:

It also sounds like a shot across the bow of the SS Trumptanic - next time Mattis takes the gloves off. He is softening the battlefield first - that is what good generals do.

I’d love to think that’s true, but I really doubt it. Mattis will join the wealthy grifters who made bad policy and now profit from it. He may deign to give a few public speeches poking fun at trump, but he will not jeopardize his comfortable perch and current income stream, which depends on the administration’s cruel anti-immigrant policies.

He’s not on our side. I surmise that he really doesn’t give a shit about how trump is destroying democracy. He’s rich and famous enough now that he can coast right past it as he is carried along on the grifter gravy train.

[dogmaalsocatma]

Yes. If Mattis starts here, fine. If this is where it ends, not.

Sadly, it’s the marines who like trump best out of all the military branches. I saw that somewhere recently, I’ll try to find you a link.

While refusing to do what would actually be helpful - talking about what went on in the criminal enterprise in the White House of which he was a part. Despite having been happy to trash Biden. His utterly pathetic excuse for the hypocrisy? He didn’t think Biden would run for president. Sure, Jim. Real profile in courage there.

Maybe we could stop normalizing and excusing this shit? This is why war criminals and other crooks like Bolton or Elliott Abrams keep getting recycled back into government and doing ever more harm. Mattis should be shamed until he actually steps up to help America through this crap, not lionized for a bit of useless, not particularly clever snark.

[clemmers]

Mr Clem reporting for duty. He can break the skin with his bite. Also, his claws are intact (but not the rest of him).

[valgalky23]

That’s a beauty.

[losamigos]

And Mattis ended with, “be sure to tip your waiters and waitresses everybody! I’m outta here!”

military men are loathe to speak out against their CiC, but this is about saving the country.

Unlike retired Admiral William McRaven, the guy who got Bin Laden and planned a few thousand anti-terrorist operations.

Thought it was the Air Force? Am I wrong (again)?

[c_stedman]

Please, don’t send it. It makes me sick that the Marines are so pro-trump. Sick but not surprised. They were, also, sickeningly anti Obama, too.
