Yep. Time to put that #### back in the bedroom and the seedy after hours clubs.

Not that there’s anything wrong with seedy after hours clubs :)

And yet all the Communists and Muslim Brotherhood members, all the atheists and liars and cheats, all the union thugs and crooked lawyers over the last 8 years inside the Obama Administration, and not a peep from the great and powerful MEDIA.

Only people raising concerns are the extremists on the left.

Cocoa-sipping snowflake liberals don’t like accomplished military men.

Hmm...wonder why?

Why was there no outcry about Obama hiring nothing but lawyers who had little or no executive experience?

We need fewer lawyers in the executive branch, IMHO.

Amen!

Wait till Trump makes the Armed services swear an oath to serve him, and then brings out the bloody Trump Flag. Wapo, how could we do without it and it’s associates, the LAT, and NYT. The Press has become a bunch of weird delusional sickos. When it comes down to protecting the country who is better qualified than a bunch of combat Generals? Maybe we can return to the brown shoe army again and get rid of those who join for a sex operation or boob enhancement. Lets get back to hell on wheels and not hell in heels. Agrrrrrrr!

But not a peep when Obama made Valerie Jarrett with her militant Muslim background his chief advisor, and no objections when Muslims were given jobs in the Defense Dept. and intelligence agencies. We’d much rather have these tested US generals chosen by Pres. Elect Trump, thank you.

There is a huge difference between a soldiers peace and a politicians peace. A soldier defines peace as the total cessation of hostilities, i.e. no gun shots, no one dying. A politician can claim peace at any time, sort of like Obamaramalamadingdong claiming the borders are more secure than they ever have been, or Kerry claiming there is peace in the mid-east or The Bengazi Butcher climing a video was the reason our people were raped and slaughtered.

The Washington post hires fools.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Post hires anti-American Leftists who are committed to globalism and therefore ideologically opposed to Nationalism, free enterprise, and all aspects of American exceptionalism.

Bringing in the military is genius.

No more games.

The party is over.
