Everyone’s got an opinion and biased and that includes generals as well. For every democrat general that hates Trump like this guy, I am sure we can find 10 generals that supports Trump.

Of course, when that happens, the same Leftists haters here will then try to spin that as Trump being a warmonger and that is why generals like him.
Name ten generals who are blasting what General Barry McCaffrey just said and I might believe you.

McCaffrey: "Reluctantly I have concluded that President Trump is a serious threat to US national security. He is refusing to protect vital US interests from active Russian attacks. It is apparent that he is for some unknown reason under the sway of Mr Putin."

You jump to the "Leftist" used as a pejorative far too quickly as both political persuasions are significantly represented in those who vilify Trump.

Just because the House Republicans are loath to address his failings does not mean they are happy with the man. They have agendas and are beholden to vested interests other than the welfare of the country's citizens being their first priority. Their power, privilege, backhanders and stock portfolios come first. You're a distant 7th in line

That should cause you far more angst, if your major concern is actually the health and welfare of the U.S. of A.

Petty partisan politics has done you more harm than all of the nukes you could imagine.

trumpers love to talk about the Deep State. The true Deep State is the Deep State of Denial the GOP leadership is in. Even after the Pennsylvania win by a Dem in a district that went to trump by 20 points, Ryan spins it as a victory for the GOP and trump. And he says it with a straight face!!!

It's good that General McCaffery has spoken out.

Now, we need to hear more specifics from Tillerson, Cohn and other top level staff who've been in close consultation with tRump and can offer a clear viewpoint on his unfitness.

In a very real sense, it's their duty to come forward.

Tillerson said he's a moron hasn't backed off from that statement.

Don’t know what the hell you are talking about but the “health and welfare” of the country is as good (if not better) now as anytime during your Obama days and we are not shackled by the heinous Obamacare individual mandate, too.

Retired four-star Army general: Trump
LOL. I would suggest that McCaffrey consult news articles from 2016 before the elections that said Obama downplayed any Russian attacks and didn’t protect vital U.S. interests ftom Russian attacks.

Of course, when that surfaced then, you Leftists played it down. What hypocrites.

“It is apparent that he is for some unknown reason under the sway of Mr. Putin,” he added.

Didn't the Trump administration tell us to trust in the Generals? Wouldn't want to mess around with THEM! Right?

Absolutely right. I have a great deal of trust in our US Army Officers. They are highly knowledgeable and self disciplined. Whatever their private political views, they put service to our Country first.

When a highly decorated, highly respected Four Star General speaks out in such a fashion, we need to shut off the info-tainers on Fox and pay attention. Our Country is at stake.
Is he the same guy who told Obama ISIS was the jv team?


Liberals obsession with literal translations used out of context in their all or nothing at all world.


Sad the nuance of English language and communication style has be explained over and over again.


Collectively the input of generals is critical to the conversation. It is understood that this not being NK or the Obama administration, the herd of generals would be expected express different opinions. Obama of course, got rid of generals who disagreed with him on a daily basis. the result was increased deaths of American troops, yemen falling into a cesspool, Libya down the drain, Iraq fell into the hands of ISIS, ISIS was given time to develop and take territory and troops had their hands tied.

This is the Trumpies whistling past the graveyard. Pretending that everyone who attacks Trump is a lefty. Many of Trump's harshest critics come from the right.

Of course you don't. No surprise there. But.........others do, and those do not see the default deflecting to Obama as a relevant, ethical or fruitful endeavour. They see it as desperation.

He wasn't "my" Obama by the by.
