    We’ve had a poster here who said, people with different beliefs, should be killed. It was taken down quickly and thankfully. But, it’s just an illustration of what goes on in the minds of some.

    sure. Whatever you say.
    “We are determined to take our country back,” Duke said. “We are going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump.”

    Watching all these Maddog Mattis diehards tuck tail and whimper is a sight to behold.

    The DPs odd infatuation with David Duke and the KKK continues. Not really a surprise.
    Has David Duke or NPR endorsed Mattis yet?

    "I would say it's a flip side of Barack Obama. He was a community activist or a black activist. He's been in the church for 20 years that — and one of the first principles of that church is that they are, quote, "true to Africa," loyal to Africa.

    There is nothing wrong with Barack Obama working and having a long career advancing what he sees as the black community interests or the black perceived interests as a group, collective interest, but I did see it as kind of odd that a man of that stripe would become president of the United States. It seems like — I think I should endorse him for president."
    NPR, David Duke's View Of An Obama Presidency, Heard on Tell Me More, October 31, 2008.

    There is no evidence that Trump is not a racist, lying thug.

    So you are saying that General Mattis a man with an impeccable record is just making this up to make Trump look bad.

    Jew haters and racists do not support Donald Trump.

    "Back in an August 2015 interview with The Daily Beast, Duke said he worried that Trump would not do anything about the “Jewish elite” supposedly running the country.

    “Trump has made it very clear that he’s 1,000 percent dedicated to Israel, so how much is left over for America?” Duke said."

    Neither does General Mattis.

    You sure that's it? Or are you trying make it fit your narrative. You had a different opinion not long ago.

    What a determined effort to derail a thread.
    Has Mattis become a hard sell?

    Mattis's record is scandal stained.

    "But perhaps none of these elite supporters was as valuable as Mattis.

    As the SEC complaint describes, a main element of the fraud was that “Holmes, and Balwani claimed that Theranos’ products were deployed by the U.S. Department of Defense on the battlefield in Afghanistan and on medevac helicopters and that the company would generate more than $100 million in revenue in 2014.”

    Holmes, the SEC alleged, “knew, or was reckless in not knowing, that these statements were false and misleading.” It’s easy to see, however, why investors might be fooled about this because one of the company’s board members, Mattis, joined Theranos in 2013 immediately after retiring from a long career of military service that concluded with a stint leading CENTCOM, the US combatant command that is responsible for, among other things," Afghanistan."

    There is no evidence he is racist and the lowest unemployment rate for blacks happened under his watch.

    What did he do to drop black unemployment? Which is also twice the rate of whites.

    Did he ask Trump to be a part of his administration or did Trump seek him out. Kelly said he retired.

    Give us a list of those jobs. I know that won't happen, but I just though I would see if you had anything to back up your mouth other than the right wing talking points.

    They aren’t just talking points, it’s the objective fact. Your inability to do your own research doesn’t suddenly make it my burden lol. If you want to be informed you must take it upon yourself to be.

    So a man who has spent his entire adult life serving his country is angry that a draft dodger is destroying the country he has spent a lifetime defending. Is that what you are saying?

    Your inability to NEVER back up anything that you claim to be true says all that needs to be said.

    If you think being a near universally derided (outside his own, shrinking, base) mendacious, incompetent bully is the mark of a "logical leader", then I have a showroom full of bridges to sell you. I'll even give a discount on bulk purchase.
