James Mattis, the esteemed Marine general who resigned as secretary of defense in December 2018 to protest Donald Trump’s Syria policy, has, ever since, kept studiously silent about Trump’s performance as president. But he has now broken his silence, writing an extraordinary broadside in which he denounces the president for dividing the nation, and accuses him of ordering the U.S. military to violate the constitutional rights of American citizens.
“I have watched this week’s unfolding events, angry and appalled,” Mattis writes. “The words ‘Equal Justice Under Law’ are carved in the pediment of the United States Supreme Court. This is precisely what protesters are rightly demanding. It is a wholesome and unifying demand—one that all of us should be able to get behind. We must not be distracted by a small number of lawbreakers. The protests are defined by tens of thousands of people of conscience who are insisting that we live up to our values—our values as people and our values as a nation.” He goes on, “We must reject and hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our Constitution.”

Mattis is an honorable moron. Liberalism is a mental disorder, indeed.
Wonder how long it will take before Trump says, “You’re Fired”.
“We must not be distracted by a small number of lawbreakers.”

Plea pay no attention to the thousands of destroyed businesses, the torched and defaced churches, the burned cop cars, the hundreds of injured cops, dozens killed.
F’ng moron must be suffering from Biden’s disease where one becomes utterly clueless.
A free people are free to disagree.
Tyranny demands unanimity.
Never liked MadDog. Always figured him as a self-promoting fraud.
Obama was a uniter? Who knew?
.
.
yea that’s another thing these people forget about Ferguson, Baltimore and the killing of cops in Dallas?
Obama to them was a uniter because they believed in all he stood for so of course it was wholesome and right.
Both of those items are resume enhancers for a Democrat...
“This is precisely what protesters are rightly demanding.”
Mattis, you are a freaking lying POS. Trump NEVER criticized the protesters, he was after the rioters who were killing and looting and destroying.
Did anyone with a room temperature IQ ever think this little worm would not attack Trump during the campaign?
Mathis follows in the footsteps of Benedict Arnold, who was a good general until he wasn’t and turned traitor.
Abc news tonight is the worst I’ve seen from them this week. ......stay strong Mr. President. .....
Having watch sanctimonious president after sanctimonious president wring his hands and talk about uniting the country I find it refreshing to have a president who doesn't try. You're either for Trump or else you're against him, and if your against him then screw you. Nothing wrong with honesty.
Since DJT came down the escalator in June 2015, it has never ceased to amaze me the number of those who have turned out to be the opposite of what they represented...or I thought they represented...maybe the tentacles of the deep state are longer than I thought...Press on President Trump, press on.
Mattis misses the McCain/ISIS days, back when the deep state ran things.
IIRC, he was also on the board of directors for Elizabeth Holmes' scam company. She won't see jail time...she is a friend of Hillary.
The Deep State Web is Deep.
The mind boggles.
He was a worthless coward who abandoned marines when they needed rescue. I always thought this dirtbag was a disgrace.
Mattis is a lifelong registered Democrat. In the beginning of President Trump’s presidency, he brought into his administration a number of democrats and establishment Republicans. He thought this would helpful for unity.
Limbaugh spoke of this numerous times. He went on a golf weekend with the president 9 months after his inauguration and the president talked of his surprise at the fact that 9 months after that the level of partisanship hadn’t leveled out. In fact, it was getting worse.
Rush told president Trump that it will never get better as long as he is in office. Rush told him that it’s not just dems who are not your friends. It’s establishment republicans also.
President Trump he said, was saddened to hear Rush’s assessment as he really thought that after the election he would be accepted as the President.
Rush has told his audience in the months that have passed and with the 24/7 hatred President Trump has gone through he is now well aware of the depths of hatred and backstabbing that is the DC Swamp.
Dementia it has to be, or he watches CNN,MSNBC
Maddog Mattis is trying to incite a Civil War.. or a Coup. He is Endangering our President in a time of Great Challenges. He is a Divisive Demon!!
That’s nothing that can injure a lefty, these days.
Trump was surrounded day one with swamp creatures..no one had ANY loyalty to him, not ANY..at least with Obama, to this day they would chop off their hands before they say one bad thing about him..but with Trump, they are eager beavers to trash him at the drop of a hat
