“The transition team itself has been beset by chaos and power struggles in the week since Trump’s election.” National Review, swimming in the sewer with the rest of the rats. Pivoting to LTG Flynn, glad he got some therapy for that self hate we find in military folks who are Democrats.

Boy. Me too. Our country needs someone to put a foot on the neck of this emasculation of the US Military, and Mattis could do that?

What do you think of General Flynn?

Unless his first name is Zell, and his last name is Miller, Idon’t want a single Democrat anywhere in the administration, because the last one who was worth more than a cup of warm spit left politics when Miller did in 2005.

Do not want. Anywhere. Not on the Cabinet. Not on any teams. Nowhere. They are like a cancer.

Furthermore, Trump should authorize the firing of all Attorney Generals and placing his own appointees in their stead.

“My God, war is not about bathrooms. War is not about political correctness or words that are meaningless. War is about winning.”


Good, a mature realist, not some warped, ivory tower hater of this country, who wants to make the military a giant social laboratory.

Now if we can find a role for Mad Dog Mattis.

Well, I don’t know. Is he worth a cup of warm spit???

I don’t know much of anything about him. I had to look him up-and it sounds like he is a thorn in the shoe of Democrats that liberals have to wear. And I have experience with people who are conservative in all respects (my deceased father) who was registered as a Democrat because office cannot be obtained in some parts of the country (like Massachusetts) unless you are a Democrat.

I would say that it is possible that exceptions could be made. The same vetting process should take place for any “Republicans”, because we know that not only are some of them aren’t worth a cup of warm spit, if the knife comes, it won’t be from the front like a standard liberal would deliver it, it will come between the shoulder blades.

“Excellent. Hope Trump quickly accepts it.”

“He didn’t submit it to Trump. Obama accepts it.”

I don’t understand your reply:

I loved the story from the siege of Fallujah (I have to paraphrase, but I think it is mostly right) where the Marines who were preparing for the assault were being harassed and slowed down in their preparations by fire from a minaret of a mosque inside a walled area.

General Mattis drove up in a Humvee and asked what was going on, and when the minaret was pointed out, he said with no deliberation, handwringing, fanfare or fear of PC repercussions something to the effect of: “Put an artillery round on that tower, and a few more inside that walled area. Now.”

It was done, and they saw body parts flying through the air.

I like that attitude. Could you see him as SecDef?

Day one: walks in the room...This crap is stopping today. The issue of women in combat roles is rejected outright as of today and for the duration of my tenure, and nothing further will be discussed on it. All racial/cultural/gender/homosexual sensitivity training and pandering stops as of today. Any commanders who persist will be drummed out. And the “trial” of this Bergdahl turd is over. We can’t hang him, but he is going to be in prison for life. We will review the records of all military officers who were forced out of the military in the last eight years. If we determine they were forced out for reasons directly related to this PC bullcrap, they will be offered appropriate reentry if desired, and if they wish to remain retired, we will ensure those negative parts of their records are expunged and their status is restored. We will be focusing on warfighting and preparedness, not on transsexual issues or women’s reproductive rights. And the lowering of physical standards will be stopped as of today. If someone is out of shape, they will get in shape, or they will leave.”

Gen. Mattis: “And one more thing: This BS about “safe spaces” and “shelter in place” pussy crap is stopping today. We will allow our troops to open carry on any military base, here or abroad, training will be given in open carry/self defense, and it will be encouraged. There will be no more shameful Fort Hood types of incidents.”

I’ve never understood how someone like Michael Flynn or David Clarke could be a Democrat.

“....according to people familiar... “

This is all a waste to time until Trump releases his final list of selections.

Everything else is BS.
