He can do things he promised to do or not. But Calling the CLIntons “good people” is totally unnecessary and just dumb.
It’s simple enforce the current laws banning hiring of illegals and make them tougher. They will self deport and leave on their own.
Pogo was right - not only are we our own worst enemy but we tend to be pathetic too.
Morons do what morons do - if this single statement in NYT article is enough to turn your back on Trump then your front has no value.
Must suck to already be jaded from so much winning before he has even taken the oath of office.
I am retired CIA. Overseas and under cover most of my career.
Most generals I have met are political scum. I don’t think Mattis falls into that category (and I did not definitively say he did) but I have a problem with him because he fundamentally does not understand who the enemy is. That makes him ignorant and unprofessional - or - someone who places value in being politically correct. Not good either way.
Still - could be a lot worse.
Politically correct? Have you read any quotes at all from the man? He is most definitely not politically correct. Sorry, but I’ll accept the judgment of President elect Trump and scores of Mattis supporters over that of a keyboard warrior
Mattis has a lot of great quotes - but none of them go beyond traditional MC culture. Yes - they upset snowflakes but it is only vintage Marine.
Which means it is possible he plays the PC game when it comes to islam. From what I have read, which isn’t that much but more than most, he thinks we are at war with the mean muslims when the actual issue is that we are at war with islam.
An understanding of the difference is absolutely crucial. Islamic terror is just a sideshow, a distraction to keep the West from perceiving the real issue which is cultural assimilation vectored through immigration and birth rates.
Now maybe I’m wrong and if you can point me to some source material I’ll gladly read it. And maybe Mattis plays PC just for public consumption. Time will tell.
