"And you do have to admit that between me and Meryl, at least we've had some victories." Brav-fucking-O, General, brav-fucking-O

The guy in the background was already hyped up.
jayar1st
Yeah. He's heading Mattis give a speech.
Birdman2112
Maboroshi1994
This is fun but. He definitely knows about impeachable shit. He should be testifying to congress.
TupacAintDead
He’s going to be tweeting his comeback from the shitter at 5 in the morning again.

non english speaker here, I don't get that part about spurs, is there any double meaning?
MenloPart
I earned golden spurs by deploying with a Cavalry unit. One could earn silver spurs by participating in a challenge called a Spur Ride.

Mattis has never said any derogatory about Trump before, he has been extremely professional. So this is a major step.
Glockenspieler
He also likes and worked for many of Trump's policies like separating families and putting kids in cages. MF is trash.

he's trying to sell the story, and despite all the "bookworthy" material he won't publicly take a stand against the angry orange.

Remember Trump bragged about facing his own personal Vietnam - trying to avoid STD's at the time.
ActionJohnnie
Clearly, syphilis won the battle and it’s eating away his brain daily.
MisterLemons
Impossible. He's immune, there's nothing left to eat.
Melonfish
Thus it's actually very clever, he's simply repeating what a friend has quoted to him so he's not saying it directly. Donald can't sue
Jettbass666
Throwing poor old Martin under the bus though. SAF.

It doesn't matter, if it's true you can't win a lawsuit. Truth's a defense against libel in the US

A military man not referring to the President as "President" really cements Donny's legacy as the worst life form to ever live in the WH.
I served under President Obama, but never cared for him. However, I always have, and always will call him "President Obama."
SophieClockwise
That's President Thanks Obama, if you don't mind.
oldguyexlurker
I have noticed a distinct lack of the use of "President Trump" in many venues. He inspires lack of respect with his every word and action.
MatixNJ
Trump wants to be called Mr. Trump instead of President Trump. He doesn’t like the latter.
Slander7
He probably prefers His Majesty.
mialynneb
Have you seen the man's twitter feed?
Actually, I avoid it like the plague. I see too much of it copied onto media. Once, when I just could not believe it, I looked. Ouch.
I don't know what's up with the downvotes. Sorry. I took one away.
procrastinatingagain
I have even more respect for him now.
MissSpelledTattoo
Attaroo
I'm hoping the subpoena him about his knowledge of the first time Trump tried to give Syria to Russia. That one he stopped.
At this point I reckon they could just ask him to pop in.
I'll have more respect for him/Kelly/Tillerson/Bolton/Cohn/Haley/Nielson when they actually testify. Quitting and throwing shade doesn't
earn them absolution.

You know if he won he would consider it his duty to be president, albeit begrudgingly.
I could see him quoting Sherman. If nominated I will not run. If elected I will not serve.

Between Mattis and McCain, if Obama or Hillary was that disrespectful to the military the Repubs would have been frothing at the mouth.
rooik14
Really shows how fake their "respect" for the military actually is. As if the atrocious state of the VA wasn't enough.
Grinchoats
Well...I mean...they did. And they were.
Difference is the media didn't pay attention or report. Pres. Obama and Sec Clinton hung the military out to dry regularly.
Bengazi - Marines were unarmed, denied reinforcements on multiple occasions, regardless of what happened during the actual attack.
Falujah...Conflicting orders and lack of spine caused the Marines to be stopped halfway in and the enemy allowed to dig in and reinforce
Nuttsy
Reasonably certain Fallujah happened a little bit before the Obama/Hillary era.

Man how can you talk shit about your own General? Time to vote President Bone Spurs out!
Technically Trump outranks him. Sleep well!
Baurge
While I'm no fan of the cheese puff, not sure why you are getting downvoted because you are correct. The President is the highest 1/2
ranking official in the military (Commander in Chief). 2/2
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
It's the "sleep well" taunt getting the downvotes.
dudekazoo
Probably because people either think he's gainsaying or being overly pedantic.
I never said anything about his rank. If you read my comment somewhat carefully, you will see I talked about his disrespect. Sweet dreams.
Datsinginguy
So what? He is still an elected official. Why can’t we vote him out? And what does that have to do with Trump’s disrespect of a general?
nelke
What a time to be alive. Trump being roasted by General Mattis. This is gold.
10sky
So good. I want to watch an entire Comedy Central special of just Mattis roasting Trump. 26 seconds is just not enough.
spookyu
I for one can't wait wait for his standup special on Netflix.
ladymihaelatargaryen
I'm no trump fan either but this general is making jokes about his commander in chief and ppl are applauding.Lol
AlwaysAngery
Yes, because nobody is allowed to criticise anyone higher up than them or gulag.
Eldis
"I'm not a fan of Trump, but..." was how every Russian or Republican troll started their posts on Reddit during the election campaign. 1/2
I'm actually democrat but hey carry on ,and then tell ppl that most of republicans are looking to divide
Do not fall for this rhetoric. 2/2
sbratt4
His Commander in Chief IS a joke.
Never been in the military ,huh?
Nope, do you have a point? I'm not one of those phony "thank you for your service" people either. Not everyone that joins the mil is a hero
In fack, a decent amount of them are fuck ups that join because they have no other options in life. What's heroic about that?
industin
you can be in the military and not have blind loyalty to a president
mercdaddy
I mean jokes are great and all, but if he were serious he'd testify about what was really going on when he was in the White House
DrMephistoFromSouthParkColorado
Honestly at this point wait till 2020 elections are over to try and push something through. However brief it would be an impeachment now>
still means President Pence, And while he likely wouldn't seek re-election that still means he gets to retire with a Presidential pension>
and waste more tax money.
Upholding the constitution and rule of law shouldn't depend on convenience.

sweetsasymolasy1234
This exactly.
justtruth
I'm willing to bet the things you wish are true aren't and there's really nothing down that rabbit hole for you to chase.
DrEgg
I'd imagine a more TV drama going on. Where he could, but it would make the White House unstable leading to more dangers both foreign & dom.
TheRealGeorgeMcfly
It's pretty fucking unstable now. It'd be hard to imagine a more unstable executive branch.
Like something out of "24" or "Designated Survivor"
potshot
Don't just assume there was anything actionable out in the open.
N0ticeablyFAT
You think the people who admit/commit crimes on live TV get super secretive when they're only with each other? Because these fools are so...
...goddamn ridiculous that you may actually be on to something here.
I'm sure that most questionable things were open secrets, but heresay isn't proof.
ElectricalOwlet
I'm betting he's not in on what's going on
ComradeTrotsky
He probably is trying to keep out as much as possible
I mean if the military knew what was going on they'd stage a mutiny

Shit. I remember in WWI I was in the battlefield. We did some fucked up shit. I never once told despite my interrogations that lasted weeks

Not. WWI. Call of duty. It was just like when I was in nam.
Lol kk.
selexor
Throwing shade is one thing, disliking Trump is one thing, but treason charges are another. He'll testify if and when the time is right.
ArcaneConjecture
Guys, Trump's did no treason. Corruption, stupidity, racism, and greed, yes. But not treason. Stop saying it.
For the record, I meant that Mattis spilling State Secrets outside of a formal trial would be Treason on HIS part. Not Trump's.
A-aight, those who wanna downvote me need to link some evidence. Treason is serious, there's a death penalty. Don't use the word lightly.
angrytaco
Attempting to actively benefit from Russian interference when they knew it was happening, instead of reporting it? Ala the Mueller report?
And they talk about correctness.if you say anything that can be interpreted as pro trump ,instant downvotes.Real mature ppl
GadenKerensky
One could argue that is treason in its own way, if not by legal definition.
