Four Star General Michael Hayden
"Four-star general: 'I have wasted 40 years of my life' if Trump’s lies represent 'who we are.' ”
U.S. Air Force four-star general Michael Hayden didn't mince words when it comes to Donald Trump's 'outrageous assault on truth, the free press and the first amendment.'
Donald Trump’s relentless attacks on the free press, and on the very of notions of truth and facts, are thoroughly antithetical to the principles of our democracy. And as one four-star general noted plainly and disturbingly, they call into question who we even are overall as a nation."

"That a man who spent decades in the military, earning over two dozen awards and decorations, and served another decade in the intelligence community, fears all of his years of service could come to be for nought in the Trump era is nothing short of frightening.
The press that Trump so snidely derides has proven itself to be far more crucial to the security of this country and its citizens than Trump ever has, or likely ever will. And military leaders and intelligence officials like Hayden have consistently pushed back on Trump’s hollow patriotism.
Hayden has given over 40 years of his life in service to the nation, through multiple administrations both Republican and Democratic. Trump has spent less than one year of his life in ostensible service to the country, which he has used as little more than a massive ego-boosting, self-aggrandizing — though failing — business opportunity.
If distinguished Americans like Hayden are worried that the damage Trump is doing to the foundation of the country could upend all their years of work to bolster it, the rest of us ought to take grave notice."

"The rest of us ought to take grave notice?" Tell that to the 30 per centers who still support this malignant narcissist and pathological liar. Tell that to the religious 30 per centers who still support a serial adulterer and sexual predator.
Where are their values, their patriotism, their love of country? What happened to them? Have they all lost their minds?
Says another libtard commie leftist RINO...
ReplyDeleteAt least that's the view of the GOP partisans who broach no dissent...
" The 30" has no particular patriotism or love of country.
ReplyDeletezthey are driven by a hatred of government primarily and a dream of returning to the days of white supremacy.
If I'm not mistaken most of those folks you reference are great fans of Thomas Jefferson. As am I. Funny how so many of them overlook the following...
ReplyDeleteI never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to Heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all.

We are too permissive. What ever happened to having consequences for your actions? Except for Roy Moore and Der Trumper. They never have to pay for their actions.
