highly rated one who couldn't take it , the Donald, any longer...not resigning because of family or health reasons...Can we really afford to continue to lose these assets anymore...Just possible our current POTUS just not up to snuff...? Just saying. ------------------------------------------------ Jim Mattis writes rebuke of Trump's leadership Former Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis wrote a not-so-subtle rebuke of President Donald Trump's leadership in an op-ed published in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday. In the piece, he condemned overly forceful leadership, particularly leaders who publicly mock and berate their critics. He also defended the need to work together with allies, arguing that the US is on track to "occupy an increasingly lonely position, one that puts us at increasing risk" ------------------------------------------------ www.yahoo.com/news/mattis-sharply-rebukes-trumps-leadership-124633659.html========================================== Along the same lines of the Generals statement in the Times ...the following article explains how reluctantly he would be to resign a position but gives reason... One is to protect the Lance Corporal...those troops can't resign...no matter what. ================================ "In 2014, well before he was named President Donald Trump's secretary of defense, Gen. James Mattis revealed the only reason he would ever resign in protest. "You abandon him only under the most dire circumstances, where the message you have to send can be sent no other way," he said, adding, "I never confronted that situation." It looks like he finally encountered that situation, as he was reportedly unable to convince Trump to reconsider withdrawing US troops from Syria, a move many top national security and defense advisors have warned against.

40 or 41 people with inside knowledge of the workings of the Trump Administration have written books seriously critical of the administration and/or the president. Two things: 1) none of them have resulted in the end to the Trump Administration. 2) 40 or 41 people with inside knowledge of the workings of the Trump Administration have shared information seriously critical of the administration and/or the president. I am thinking that thing 2 is one that we should be concerned about and not just pass it off because of thing 1.

They wrote fiction in the hopes that the people on left side of the political spectrum would buy them. Money, money money, that's the real reason,, not because they wanted to the right thing. money money money, that was it!!

Hmm? Why didn't they write non-fiction about what a great job the Trump Administration is doing in the hopes that the people on the right side of the political spectrum would buy them?

Did you buy any Trump books Dezii? Just that first one that caused all the commotion...never got around to reading it , still in my kindle... From what I know about this Marine General...statements of former colleges, he is a man of great quality...unlike the one u keep slobbering over...How u continue to support the aberration we have in the oval office now is beyond me...If u have the wealth u seem to suggest, it can't be because u really need more...the man is evil...has torn the country apart...wouldn't be surprised that citizens would turn on each other...His continue support of Putin is one for the books...makes no sense...even if the story of hiring prostitutes to urinate them selves on that bed...After all that has gone down that story would not really hurt him that much...folks like u would just brush it off as fake news...

Wooooo Hoooooo,,Dezii has figured out that none of them are worth reading much less buying!! Wouldn't say that but just the excerpts that are leaked seems to be enough for me... Big story is if he is reelected in 2020...then what follows and happens to our country in the future is all on us...no one else...
