This is the devastating statement released today by Donald Trump‘s former Secretary of Defense, General James Mattis, of today,
June 3, 2020:
“We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children.”
“Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us,” Mattis said.
But Mattis directed most of ire at Trump saying “Never did I dream that troops taking that same oath would be ordered under any circumstance to violate the Constitutional rights of their fellow citizens—much less to provide a bizarre photo op for the elected commander-in-chief, with military leadership standing alongside.”
Devastating, for those with any kind of an independently functioning brain. for zombies, it will elicit a shoulder shrug.

I had The Last Word on tonight, but it was competing with my A/C for a bit hard to hear. When Lawrence O’Donnell first said that James Mattis raised constitutional objections I could have sworn he said James Madison. I thought, must be pretty bad when the Father of the Constitution speaks from beyond the grave!
