Quick, someone ask Admiral Mullen if thousands of rampaging anarchists aka domestic terrorists toss hundreds of Molotov cocktails into federal buildings and launch RPGs into the White House and Capitol buildings would they then not be considered as enemies of state?
After a week of rioting where dozens of cities and hundreds of neighborhoods are looted, gutted and set ablaze, cop cars overturned and burned, cops beaten and killed and with plans made for a million man riot, er, march in DC, complete with bricks, weapons, molotov cocktails and who knows what conveniently stashed along the route, are we supposed to wait until all of the federal district is set ablaze before we establish defendable perimeters and have ready troops standing by to repel hostile anarchists?
But of course, nothing like that happened. Possibly because in a 'moment of moral clarity,' our CINC made it clear to all that he had snipers stationed and armed troops standing at the ready in case it did. And now, thank God, all is peaceful.
So let's call down the snipers from their perches, pull out the troops standing by, send home the guard, let the goofy mayor release all the anarchists who were arrested, cut back her police department and just forget the whole thing.
But remember, sometimes it takes only a couple bullets fired by a lone teenage anarchist to set the entire world at war. And of course WWI led to WWII, etc., etc., etc.
...defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic, remember? Yeah, I swore it too.
Yeah, and this is not the first time a president was heavily criticized by cabinet officers and military brass who thought they were so much smarter. Even Kennedy. Even Truman. Even Lincoln.
And sometimes a president has to fire and burn through many cabinet officers, generals and admirals until he lands on dependable people he can trust to get the job done.
And, of course, many of the firelings who thought they had all the answers run to the press and squeal like stuck pigs.
And some are so smart they even run for president.
And lose.
Well said.
What you said!!! Thank you , sir!!
“And sometimes a president has to fire and burn through many cabinet officers, generals and admirals until he lands on dependable people he can trust to get the job done.”
That was President Lincoln and is Our President DONALD JOHN TRUMP.
Does he suffer from Beltway Blindness? Or has he gone over to the side of the those sponsoring this week long “Stress Session?” Maybe he sold himself cheaply for some approving comments by the Media / Ministry of “Truth”?
Hi guy.
Eventually all these riots will be blamed on the Jewish Rabbis throwing mazel tov cocktail.

President Trump is cramping the military-industrialists’ style. If he won’t start a war, they will.
“Protect the country from all enemies “foreign and domestic”.
What do all of these jokers, Powell, Mattis, Kelly, Mullen, Esper think they are doing except stabbing in the back the guy who is one of the best negotiators this country has ever seen in a position of senior leadership.
Trump was telling the radicals, the democrats and his own supporters backed up by the 82nd Airborne, that the radicals are not going to get what they want, that bullets will fly and bodies will pile up if they think they are going to loot, burn and murder.
So Trump is saying to them, keep it up and this is not going to end well for you, and the deep state idiots chime in and say, well not really, meaning that the utter violent nonsense that needed to end right then and there could go on and on.
Now of course Trump knows better than anyone that if things got to the point that the 82nd is shooting people on the streets, things are really bad, and Trump's presidency would be in real danger. So no one has more incentive to make sure that the unthinkable doesn't happen than Trump. But these self-obsessed fools want to make it more likely. Why? What were they thinking?
The guys like Esper who bring us ever escalating Pentagon cost over-runs driven by an out of control procurement bureaucracy, or Mattis who couldn't figure out that some simple ROE changes could knock ISIS off the map, or Powell who cooperated in getting us into a war to fix the middle east that is now broken worse than ever because eliminating Sadam was not the linchpin to fixing the middle east, but the thing keeping it from falling into utter chaos.
And none of the uttered a word in support of the illegal persecution of Flynn. Not one word.
So what do these fools think they are negotiating FOR when they pull this traitorous shit? Esper put his job on the line, and has probably lost it. To get what? To show that the Pentagon is subservient to wokeness? Is he trying to get the CHICOMs to laugh themselves to death?
I get it. They think they are negotiating for the interests of the deep state and their positions sucking at the tit thereof. But they are tone deaf. Do they think the guys who booed the mayor of Minneapolis because he resists deconstructing the police department is going to welcome them with open arms?
Is Kelly or Mattis or Powell or Esper willing to kneel to wokeness, soak an American flag in a bowel of bath water and wash the feet of those who have grown up with grievances against society.
We all have grievances. Imagine being born white middle class, knowing that no one is going to take care of you and you are going to have to work every day of your life while you are berated and taxed for being privileged. Imagine being born Son of Soros, knowing that you are a gazillionaire destined to serve Satan for your whole life?
We all have grievances, Mike, Mark, John, Collin, Mike... Our hope is God given freedom and opportunity and the flag that is the symbol of that hope. That is the only hope against adversity anyone has ever had.
if they were white people trying to oust the socialists and deep stat a$$holes, he’d say yes.
Part of your military oath is to protect the nation from enemies foreign and domestic.
And then there is Mittens, the dead spirit of McCain, the GOPe answer to the nihilism of the left - you can’t beat us at nihilism. We excel at soullessness.
Excellent post.

Even those who hate Trump, will look back on him with a
totally different view in time.
By then it may be too late.
This nation has a multitude of problems. I’ll vouch for that.
The thing is, there isn’t something better out there, and
what these folks have in mind looks just like Russia, China,
Venezuela, Cuba, and other places looked like before the
totalitarians took over.
So we’ll see how it goes.
Many of those gleeful in the streets will be crying up a
storm when the purges come.
This government has held off.
The people who run the purges, WILL NOT!
An awful lot of moms, pops, children, the youth, the elderly
will die in the end.
Even those with ANTIFA will be purged. Too many of them
are White, and they just don’t get it.
Trust in God. He’s the only one who matters in addition
to family and friends.
these idiots need to realize quick that if the WH and the national treasures of DC falls, the Pentagon and Congress become immediately irrelevant. Antifa has known this for a decade. What’s taking the military brass so long to figure it out? Do they need a map?
It is only fair that Admiral Mullen’s residence address be made public so the anarchists have a way to find him and thank him for what he has done for them.
Dr. Megan Ranney on CNN right now, (whoever she is) actually said, that the National Guard should be used to contact-trace covid patients not patrolling streets to prevent rioting.
After seeing the death rate of HCWs and first responders from handling CCPvirus victims, why would anyone even think of exposing non-medic military to patients? These people are stone-cold crazy.
We don’t have to worry if China invades us. We’ll have lines of sheeple with basins of milk and honey in hand, washing the feet of the invading Chinese while crying and asking forgiveness for racism. The PLA will die laughing.
Have to ask this tool if “enemies foreign or domestic” in the oath only applies to foreign.
