Probably the only thing Barack Obama & I have in common is that we both had the honor of firing Jim Mattis, the world’s most overrated General. I asked for his letter of resignation, & felt great about it. His nickname was “Chaos”, which I didn’t like, & changed to “Mad Dog”...

Lol BAD dog, now going to go down in history as a failed general. Should have kept his trap shut.
All this just goes to show how truly hard Trump's had it. Being undermined at every turn by everyone left right and centre. God bless this man. The most tenacious human alive. I used to think oh no not another tweet. Then I came to realise (a) he has every right to vent and (b) it's damn transparent and crucial he gets this info out
May I suggest El Rushbo?
Are you kidding? 50 million people listen to rush.
Agreed.. and not only that, Rush has been in the game for over 30 years. Rush even said he knew Trump better than most people.
Strongly disagree. Rush has a HUGE fan base.
And Rush is confirmed to have direct access to Trumps ear.
Rush even mentioned on his show today that Trump calls him on a regular basis to see how Limbaugh is doing (about once a week/once every 10 days or so), and that while Rush isn't allowed to mention specifics because he doesn't have permission, he and Trump talk about policy issues during their phone calls.
Yes. Close to 50 million people all across the nation agree with you
50 million music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists, all across the fruited plain
FTFY
Accurate 👍
El Rushbo is the only man I agree with on everthing he says, I do have some "but Ohh Rush... Ohh Rush" momennts but we think alike.
Well, depending on the day hes either a hero or a cuck on t_d
If people watched the whole show the other day youd see he came full circle explaining to people how Trump DID actually jump on the situation. People get so deep on the ra ra team shit. There were plenty singing Nicki Haleys praises on TD just because she was "on the team", or so they thought.
If we dont hold them accountable it's easy for them to get mired in political drama and posturing, listening to advisors who still feel "above us peasants." Your allowed to disagree and press for better decisions. Otherwise, your just a blind fanboy.
Well said
Pepe farms remembers when mattis was the equivalent of the emperors primarchs in wh40k. Actually, maybe hes horus... hmmm... The mattis heresy?
He had a whole segment about how pathetic kneeling is tonight. Maybe you should actually watch his show before mouthing off about him.
My mom swears she heard Tucker say, early on when he got this show, that he didn’t vote for Trump.
Can anyone else validate hearing this?
Shut up dumbass
But he is right a lot. And he is one who criticizes Republicans when they deserve to be. With that he is pointing out traitors from your own ranks.
This has actually served both Trump and Carlson well. It paints the president as a man capable of taking advice (which really shouldn't be a question at this point to anyone staying current with the news), as well as showing Carlson not to be a partisan actor, aka Hannity. Incredibly important in deradicalizing the modern left, encouraging them to read multiple outlets which conservatives pretty much already have to do by default. Furthermore, it doesn't make the U.S. look weak while excusing itself from a full on military engagement, peace being the important part here. If anything, I'd hazard a guess that it was Trump's idea.
I go a step further: loyalty is an all-the-time job duty when one serves a President.
Had Bad Dog Mattis served as his own elected official, his “independence” to do what his bitchy fee-fees were telling him to do would be more understandable.
1k upvotes!
Imagine being Donald Trump. Seriously. Everyday consists of betrayal, twisting of words, death threats, 24/7 worldwide coverage of every misstep. There is no where he goes that isn’t nonstop Trump criticism. Kathy Griffin was on the world spotlight for a day and she literally ripped her hair out and went pyscho. Lord help this man.
This is where an incredible ego can actually be a good thing. Trump knows exactly who is is and what he's doing, and not even the entire world speaking against him can sway that.
We've been taught that egos are a bad thing. But for leaders, the bigger and ballsier, the better.
Watching GEOTUS is nothing short of a master class in real leadership.
If their on the good side and not evil, of course.
He really just doesnt give a fuck what anyone thinks about him, and does what he thinks is right. Its the reason obama turned into a 70 year old man in 8 years and Trump looks the same as when he was elected.
If you read the letter in the Atlantic by Mattis is attempting to cause a rift between Trump and the military. He lies and says Trump violated the constitution by using the actual military to DC, compares him to Nazis and that Trump needs to be replaced. Ironically he states Trump is being divisive, as if his letter wasn't intended to be.
Mattis seems out of touch. People are smarter with the internet. He's directly using leftist logic and talking points in his letter. It's obvious and sad.
I had no idea about the letter. Mattis is clearing playing for the other team.
Military here. Fuck Mattis. Trump 2020
Mattis was always a leftist. People said it on t_d back in the day but everyone just laughed because at the time he was the current golden boy.
He needs to get Jared out of the white house and stop listening to him, much of the Trump agenda we voted for being stymied can be traced straight back to him.
Seriously. That asshole is just another elitist aristocrat with a different worldview.
I'm not entirely sure why Trump supporters have such a cult mentality about Jared, it's creepy as fuck especially considering he's not even a conservative. Yet if you say anything about the COPIOUS amounts of bad shit he's doing, you'll be shouted down really fast.
Tribalism. Some people will give anyone a pass just because they're part of the admin.
Yeah it's sad since he's 100% anti-MAGA and has been fucking over Trump's accomplishments at every turn.
And send his idiot daughter Ivanka after him. They’re both morons.
Agreed.
Where are y’all getting this info on ivanka and Jared?
His tweets are like a cold crisp Diet Coke... refreshing as hell
I am also not in military, but there is a trend that in every section of society, if someone is widely recognized or respected, they turn out to be leftist
'Widely respected' is an image created by the media and the left ecosystem
Economics- Paul Krugman
Hollywood- Morgan Freeman
Politics- barack obama
News - carl bernstein
Even noble prize is leftist
Because the media and social media is in control of the left they have created the icons.
I dont know about other than people here praising him a lot when he was in the admin.
How they got this image, whether they personally experienced it or it was a folk story circulating to create a positive image I have no idea.
Sessions was also liked here before he recused. With sessions his actions had effects which were visible to people.
But by the classified nature of military operations, we civilians can never know why trump and mattis had a difference in opinion. If we had that opinion or on what mattis was against trump, I may have had other opinions.
But this latest stunt has completely discredited mattis in my books. The thing with icons is that there image depends on what they say. Sometimes it is better to stay silent and not to reveal yourself.
One example is jim carrey. He used to be my favourite actor till he went completely crazy.
The right is under siege. They want us and our values erased. We tolerated them for long enough. It's time to support conservatives in every industry, and punish the violent left for the unrest they incited.
Their punishment will be severe if they actually move outside of the central cities
Good. Then they will realize how brainwashed they are and how useful the 2A is.
The 2A is very useful; a good rifle and endless supply of ammo is the most useful.
It needs to happen or they will never stop. Unfortunately they know this and will probably never REALLY try it. Even now, when theyve tried to bring their riots outside their own neighborhood theyve been met with armed resistance and its glorious.
You could cut down on greenhouse gas emissions with a trebuchet!
There's a phrase Rush uses that's perfectly true:
If they made you, they can break you.
Note that the few Hollywood types that even hint at "Not a Leftist" fall in a very few groups:
Made it in one go. Was a bit part somewhere that simply continued or hit the jackpot pretty much directly. (As far as upper reaches are concerned.)
Someone needed a hard bastard, and found one. Then let them be them ... because they're a hard bastard.
Worked tirelessly in some ignored niche.
Someone that had a clear hard break before 'revolting' and actively contends with them. (Kanye)
I need to listen to Rush. Never heard him before. But POTUS gave him the medal, and everyone here reveres him.
Time to make up for lost time!
I’ll put it this way, my dad and grandpa having Rush on when I was younger and would be in the car with them made me the man I am today. Rush redpilled me before red pilling was a thing.
Same here! I remember buying my grandfather “Rush Is Right” with money I made cutting grass. I was so excited to give it to him and the look on his face was priceless. We’d sit in the car or on the back porch listening to him on AM radio. Some of the best memories I have growing up.
Oh man, you will not be disappointed. I used to schedule my day around his show before we got podcasts.
He is a blowhard. But you don't walk in the room with the intent to find fault, he covers a lot of ground in an entertaining enough way. The callers mean there's always re-thinking various things going on.
The respect is in large part because ... he was kinda "It" for a long time. The media weren't as completely sold out, but there was simply nothing doing what he was doing. (To the point someone said 'Hey, I bet I could fit a TV network in that hole' :D)
Trump is sometimes a blowhard too. Doesn't mean shit. When everyone is out to get you pretty much at all times, as is the case for Trump and Rush, sometimes you need to be. Better than being a pansy rollover.
I absolutely agree.
But.
For a "New Listener" I though a warning might get past an episode or two of pure fire :D
Mattis wanted to keep troops in Syria. That was a public disagreement with the President, and I'm sure there were other issues that remained private,
He slow walked the tranny ban. He cried about Trump being mean to NATO countries. He blamed global warming for Islamic terrorism. He cried about Trump wanting to use the military to defend our borders. He cried about Trump wanting to end Bush and 0bama's illegal wars. I'm sure there was more that I'm not remembering but I was glad to see him go. Kelly too.
Mattis withheld battle plans from Trump, his Commander in Chief, despite repeated requests for all battle plans against the Islamic caliphate. Trump had to fly into Iraq himself and speak to the generals on the ground to find out what Mattis wasn’t telling him. Soon after that the caliphate was 100% defeated.
Before the days of border patrol, customs, ICE, and the endless government departments/bureaus/agencies everything down to, gasp, border protection was the purview of a country's military. If Mattis was against using the military to defend the country, it's sole purpose for existing, then he didn't belong anywhere near a position of authority and deserved to be shown the door.
Never trust a man with a lisp.
I still can't wrap my mind around Krugman receiving a Nobel Prize in economics. His grasp of the subject makes AOC's look less embarrassing by comparison.
The Nobel is a fraud, just like Krugman. He deserved it.
Your point is well received. My only question is, there's a Morgan Freeman interview where he shoves red pill suppositories up Don Lemon's ass, Don Lemawn even comes around for a moment. It's obviously memory-holed, but it's a shame he's on your list, though I don't doubt he's spewed far more vile shit than good.
In fact, the clip is extremely relevant today. Not sure where it veered off the rails.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOiQgleiRtU (2 minute clip)
I hate to break this to people as I'm pro-military as well, but many in military leadership have been corrupted. They are politicians.
These generals (some retired) are taking money and prolonging wars so they can keep up their consulting gigs with defense contractors and other schemes. It's not good.
Anyone in the military knows that O-6 and above means you're a politician, not a warfighter.
Why do you think all those "Veterans for gun control" is all a bunch of fucking brigadier generals and shit?
Yup, only real Marines are enlisted, the rest are naval officers
Don’t knock all the officers, 95% of the ones I’ve worked with are constitutional purists that (ironically) want smaller government and less control.
That pretty much covers: Mattis, Kelly, McMasters and that McCrystal guy that is besties with George Conway and never stops with the Trump bashing.
McCrystal was publicly humiliated and fired by Obama but still has never said a cross word about him.
Still he can’t stop talking shit about how “immoral” President Trump is
They love being the lapdogs of the Democratic cabal.
I remember I didn't realize how crooked McChrystal was until Michael Yon started putting him on full blast on his dispatches on his website back in 2010/2011.
Oh hell, I forgot about McTurdster.
I’m expecting those four to come out with a nation-wide Biden fundraising/ Trump bashing tour soon before the election: The Insurgent Generals Quartet - LIVE on Stage!
McCrystal claims to be a “proud Republican” who’s “concerned“ about how Trump has damaged his party, but pretty sure the other cucks are hard core registered Democrats. So, all in the same political party.
This is the Obama "faggotization" of the military. Trans, leftists in admin, etc
Obama’s faggotization of the military probably pissed me off the most when he was president because almost all of the people pushing for it were anti-military sissies that would’ve never enlisted to begin with and the day before would be saying that Johnny American who enlisted In the marines at 18 when 9/11 happened and got killed in Afghanistan saving Ricky Football and Davey Elvis Presley was “not a hero” and “a dumbass who Couldn’t cut it in college”. It’s like when people that not only would never open a bible but would literally fucking burn if they did talk about how “Trump isn’t Christian” and “protecting yourself against rapefugees is not what Jesus wants”.
And to compound that, 0bama and his handler Valerie Jarrett were making damn sure to promote the "right" people in the military brass.
This is correct. I can't get specific, but the fix is in for the military to go against the President. For what? For when? I don't know. But the policies are weeding out free minded patriots and making sure to keep the dumb and pliable people who follow orders without question.
The more I study these "Generals" the more I realize the only good one we had was Smedley Butler.
Anyone who suggests that the President does not have the right to clear an unruly mob from the area around the white house shouldn't be given any military responsibility whatsoever. Good riddance.
I served under Mattis in Iraq. I have the highest respect for his abilities as a General.
As a civilian...not so much. He was dead wrong about Syria and I'm glad he is not the Sec Def anymore.
What was "the tranny thing"?
The way Trump reveres tbe military and veterans, if he's giving Mattis the McStain treatment, it's safe to assume there's a "deeper" problem.
For Mattis.
Well said pede!
Wow trump clearly has no fucks left to give. Fuck Mattis, fuck BLM, fuck antifa, fuck Democrats, communists, leftists.
Don't underestimate The Donald. I bet he can says Fuck to a lot more
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_burn_centers_in_the_United_States
After reading Mattis’ statement, what a contrast with the speeches we got from Trump the last few days. In particular with the “Healing, not Hatred” video his campaign just put out today.
Awkward timing for Mattis to try and say our President is looking to divide us, hahah.
I really don't get that from him. I think he's more of an idealist versus the pragmatic Trump. Those two types rarely march in step.
Ooooh, I forgot about that one! Gonna use this as ammo with someone I was debating!
Also general dynamics, I don't like to quote Ike but the MIC is real.
That was a dead give away. I tried hard to believe he was a patriot, but he had to know Theranos was a ponzi scheme....just had to.
Now there is no doubt.
It still fits the naming convention
Isn't that one already assigned?
I still remember that Mad Dog resigned cause he wanted war in Syria and the President wanted to pull out of that mess.
We never left did we?
I think he resigned because he went public with wanting the war to continue in Syria, including us, and Trump contradicted him - Since Trump's word is what happens, Mattis lost face and this was the only way to not seem like a lame duck SecDef. We're not dealing with mid-level and senior-level managers here - these are people at the top of their game, Lions in their respective fields. Lots of weight rides on reputation.
"I named him, 'Dog'."
Why didn't this come out earlier?
Mad dog? More like sad dog...
More like. just "Mad" as in insane
salty
What's the point of bashing Mattis right now. Haven't thought about him since he's been gone.
I hadn't heard this news yet.
Msm is going crazy about it.
Glad MSM was not able to shove more propaganda into my face.
Yes it’s a massive media “wtf we love mad dog!” circle jerk
He wrote about it in The Atlantic if you want to look for it. Redstate did a write-up on it, too.
Archive link to the story: https://archive.is/d6f9J
Sometimes, it is best to keep quiet.
Mattis should have taken that advice.
What a shame, I had hope for Mattis. He seemed like a good pick a few years ago... pity he turned out to be such a traitor.
All military officers are leftists
From my experience, the good officers -- the one's who use common sense and who look out for their troops -- are passed over for the ass kissers.
A ton of young ass kissers worked their way up through the ranks during the Clinton years and are now 3 and 4 star Generals.
There will be a large batch of young Obama ass kissers in another decade or so who will be in charge. I shudder at the thought.....
There was also captains and such getting "pink sleeps" during their time in country as well, meaning they had nowhere to go once their deployment was done. I think it was around 2011- 2013 iirc.
Influencing Esper and military brass against POTUS now maybe. Active in the insurrection?
More people need to be aware of this. It's the same thing as the Arab Spring and the revolution in Ukraine. And it's here.
The timing isn't coincidental.
He was always a leftist
President Trump mentioned that he seemed to be a Democrat.
Listen to today's Mark Levin show. He covered the whole incident.
Mattis went on some deranged virtue signaling rant where he defended violent rioters, cried about imaginary racism and accused Trump of dividing the country by calling for law and order.
My President just went full scorched-Earth on Mattis's ass
This definitely caught me off guard since I saw it before I saw Mattis’ statement, haha. I would be curious to hear what approaches they differed on. I don’t recall much of what Mattis did.
Syria, for starters. Probably some other things too.
Mad Cow
Fun fact: he was called Mad Dog long before Trump, and Mattis despises that nickname
This is Trump fucking with him and with the coverage
Kek
Mattis is disappointing AF.
This is one of the better burns in recent memory
Mad dog just got neutered
I busted out laughing when I saw this spicy meatball roll-in.
Wife rolled eyes as usual lmao.
This is the best timeline, folks.
Donald Trump has a Jim Mattis rug in his bedroom. He's not actually dead he's just afraid to move.
Mattis was just a link in the chain of command, and he was never at the top. He should have kept his mouth shut. He's undermined his credibility.
Hi Lee Fuk. I absolutely agree. I’ve been saying this on Reddit for a long time
Mattis is a giant shit and Trump took some ex lax
Mattis chose his side. He disappointingly is. D.S.
I really bought into the Mattis hype and his comments, thinking this guy sounds a lot like Patton.
I realized today that unlike Patton whom I frequently quote... Mattis was never in combat.
Now I understanding that many high ranking officers never were... but considering Mattis's bravado... he is obviously full of it.
Salty Dog
Doesn’t Droopy Dog Mattis have a book coming out? This is a three day story and a couple segments on the weekend shows at most.
This is the same Jim Mattis that dumped his own money into Theranos and sat on its board until the whole ship went under. Not a smart guy.
The idea that Trump was violating somebody’s rights when he went to that church is just about the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard.
He didn’t stop anybody from peacefully protesting. But any time the President travels, crowds have to be controlled. It happens almost every day. The fact that they were protesting doesn’t change that.
Mattie was parroting a false narrative.
This hurts....always thought of Mattis as leaders leader...bad ass war fighter.
I trust POTUS and if he says he was a shitty leader, that settles it for me. I joined the the military after 9/11 and thought Jr was patriotic as fuck. Was ready and willing to die for him and this country. Turns out he was a shit bag and now Mattis has been added to that list as well.
Just another Patton wannabe
I never liked that POS. He butchered innocent women & children in the ME, fuck him!!!
That and being President, Mr. President.
Obama: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Trump is like a ray of sunshine that makes all the roaches and rats scamper away.
Am I high that like 6 months ago pedes loved Mad Dog?
Well, that he made such a public and incendiary statement based on wrong and incomplete information demonstrates extremely poor judgement on his psrt.. This poor judgement confirms he was unfit to serve as defense secretary, so firing him was completely justified. At a minimum, he should offer a public apology to the president.
Boy were we all taken in by this dude. Even Trump. So many of his initial cabinet picks when he was new at the job turned out to be rotten. Even today that's the hardest thing for him, finding people with the experience to do these jobs who haven't been dragged into the swamp.
Trump never goes after these people unless they attack him first, but is so unpresidential dontcha know.
Darling GEOTUS, now that the Feds, the DOJ, the NIH have been exposed, can we get to draining the swamp in the military...Where is Raisin Cain? Yes, the soldier you mentioned some two years ago?
