Our Republic Is Under Attack From the President
NYT ^ | 10 17 2019 | Admiral William H. McRaven

Posted on 10/17/2019 2:36:26 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

If President Trump doesn’t demonstrate the leadership that America needs, then it is time for a new person in the Oval Office.

Last week I attended two memorable events that reminded me why we care so very much about this nation and also why our future may be in peril.

The first was a change of command ceremony for a storied Army unit in which one general officer passed authority to another. The second event was an annual gala for the Office of Strategic Services (O.S.S.) Society that recognizes past and present members of the intelligence and Special Operations community for their heroism and sacrifice to the nation. What struck me was the stark contrast between the words and deeds heralded at those events — and the words and deeds emanating from the White House.

BIG SNIP

And if this president doesn’t understand their importance, if this president doesn’t demonstrate the leadership that America needs, both domestically and abroad, then it is time for a new person in the Oval Office — Republican, Democrat or independent — the sooner, the better. The fate of our Republic depends upon it.

William H. McRaven, a retired Navy admiral, is a former commander of the United States Special Operations Command and former chancellor of the University of Texas system.

Okey dokey, I didn’t need to read past the University of Texas system to know this person is a slap, dab, idiot. UT has become a hemmroid (sp) on the butt of TEXAS!! Our granddaughter saw this when she was at UTA and got the hell out of Dodge!

The late David Hackworth referred to military leaders like McRaven as “perfumed generals.” In other words, political hacks. General Dempsey is another one, and oh by the way, wasn’t there a communist who graduated from West Point a couple of years ago. God knows what else has corrupted the military.

This is the phone call I imagine would be to William H. McRaven from George Soros:

Soros: Hello. Is this Bill?

McRaven: Yes, who is this?

Soros: George Soros. I have a 2 million dollar offer for you.

McRaven: I could use 2 million dollars. What’s the deal?

Soros: You publish a letter in the “New York Times” condemning Trump’s poor support of the Kurds in Syria. You will get $two million that will make up for the trouble you will get and it will be a needed blow to Trump. Are you with me?

McRaven: Well, I’m still mad at Trump for bad mouthing my friend, John Brennan and revoking his security clearance.

Soros: Exactly! By the way, I have been working hard to get Brennan’s help in getting Trump tossed out of office. Can you help too?

McRaven: You have? In that case, I’m all in on that letter. How soon will I get the money?

Soros: I will set up a special bank for you so the money won’t be traced. That will happen immediately. After the letter is published—which I will send to you—you will get the money put in your account. OK?

McRaven: (words garbled) Ah . . . (words garbled)

End of conversation.

If this man doesn't have the mental faculties to understand why it is important to address Deep State Coup players, he shouldn't speak in public.

His loose talk of Trump being some sort of incapable danger to the nation, is simply another form of support for the Deep State Coup.

Sorry bud, but this sort of talk is anything but honorable.

They're becoming more bold and brazen; announcing their plans in the NYT. They're not even pretending to hide their intentions; "Regime Change"

“As I stood on the parade field at Fort Bragg, one retired four-star general, grabbed my arm, shook me and shouted, ‘I don’t like the Democrats, but Trump is destroying the Republic!’”

This is the predicate/rationalization for the ongoing coup attempt. Expect to hear it from Brennan, Clapper, and Comey.

SWAMP slug. Loves Brennan, who is an absolute asshole. Loves Obama who did all he could to dismantle the military.

My Scout-Sniper Marine(Iraq, Afghanistan) says you should ESAD.

McRaven was in tight with Hillary for some post if she had won. He has been criticizing Trump since at least the time he came into office. Nothing new regarding him criticizing Trump.

“Dear Mr. President:

Former CIA Director John Brennan, whose security clearance you revoked Wednesday, is one of the finest public servants I have ever known. Few Americans have done more to protect this country than John. He is a man of unparalleled integrity, whose honesty and character have never been in question, except by those who don’t know him...”

McRaven, William (August 16, 2018). “Revoke my security clearance, too, Mr. President”. The Washington Post. Retrieved August 16, 2018.

‘’..In August 2018, McRaven expressed support for former CIA Director John O. Brennan, whose security clearance had recently been revoked by the Trump Administration’’

Why did I know this dweeb would be connected to Brennan? McRaven is a spook too and it looks like he may be part of the coup.
