“Mattis wasn’t the only person Trump kicked out the door with a litany of attacks. He lambasted former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson as “dumb as a rock,” and described his former chief of staff, John Kelly, as being “in over his head.” Any loyalty these men and others felt toward Trump was effectively destroyed, opening Trump to criticism from these very men looking to restore their reputations after being attacked by the most powerful man in the world.

Mattis coming out to attack Trump was inevitable, as was the media onslaught in response to Mattis’s criticisms.”

ANY “LOYALTY”!???

These snakes existed as deep state checks on Trump. There was NEVER any loyalty.

Panetta also wrote a memoir revealing disturbing details about his time in the Obama administration, and told of Obama’s repeated decisions to ignore his advice, citing specifically “the withdrawal of all troops from Iraq in 2011, the failure to intervene in Syria’s civil war by arming rebels and the abrupt reversal of Mr. Obama’s decision to strike Syria in retaliation for using chemical weapons on civilians.”

As For Chuck Hagel, He said in an interview a year later after he resigned, that the Obama White House tried to “destroy” him and that they had no strategy for fixing Syria. Here is an account of what he said...:

Hagel, now that time has passed and he’s willing to discuss his tenure in office, cited the episode as an example of a White House that has struggled to formulate a coherent policy on Syria, holding interminable meetings that would often end without a decision, even as conditions on the ground worsened and the death toll grew steadily higher. The 69-year-old former Nebraska senator and Vietnam War veteran, speaking for the first time about his treatment by the Obama administration, said the Pentagon was subject to debilitating meddling and micromanagement by the White House — echoing criticism made by his predecessors, Robert Gates and Leon Panetta.

Looking back on his tenure, Hagel said in the Dec. 10 interview that he remains puzzled as to why some administration officials sought to “destroy” him personally in his final days in office, castigating him in anonymous comments to newspapers even after he had handed in his resignation.

Although he does not identify her by name, Hagel’s criticisms are clearly aimed at Obama’s national security advisor, Susan Rice, and some of her staff. Hagel’s former aides, and former White House officials, say the defense secretary frequently butted heads with Rice over Syria policy and the U.S. military prison at Guantánamo.

“Overrated General”???? Having spent many many years in Uniform and sons doing the same, one learns that rising in the general Officer ranks is for the most part Political. Officers selected for and promoted in the General Officer Ranks must be nominated and approved by Politicians. Therefore, if one aspires to become and advance as a General Officer they must by the very nature of the system become a political animal and play ball with Politicians and their staffers. A lot of good and exceedingly good Lieutenant Colonels and Colonels decide to retire rather than enter into the Political Arena. Until the system is changed, don’t be surprised to see Some Current and perhaps many more former General Officers making Political statements. It’s a damn shame, but that is the way it is.

The Kenyan from Indonesia was never eligible to be President under our Constitution.

He is NOT a natural born citizen.

I don’t recall any of them saying Obama was a threat to the Constitution, and which alone puts Mattis’s comment way over the line.
