QOTD -- Welcome To The Resistance


"Former CIA director John Brennan, whose security clearance you revoked on Wednesday, is one of the finest public servants I have ever known. Few Americans have done more to protect this country than John. He is a man of unparalleled integrity, whose honesty and character have never been in question, except by those who don’t know him.

"Therefore, I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency." -- Adm. William McRaven (Ret.), commander of the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command 2011-2014, and of the 2011 Navy SEAL raid in Pakistan that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, addressing Putin puppet Donald "Rump" Trump.

    I'm thrilled by their responses. Trump isn't fit to kiss their shiny shoes, and they have the guts to say so. I imagine that Trump's team has kept him from seeing this, but he'll probably find out and his Twitter rant will be a glorious thing to behold.

    We need our leaders to speak out. Trump thinks that giving the military a fuckton of money will buy their loyalty, but I hope they all speak out against him.

    donnah - we've read about how much of the brass is appalled at Rump, but are taking more of a passive/ aggressive approach. The "delay" of Rump's self- glorifying military parade ($92 million) strikes us as waiting him out until the Dems control the House and put the kibosh on it. Also the American Legion came out against it once the cost ballooned from $12 to nearly $100 million -- all to give Rump a thrill up his leg.
