Trump a ‘danger to US security’, say generals ahead of Harris debate
Ten former top military chiefs publish letter calling the vice-president the only candidate ‘fit to serve’ in the country’s highest office
Retired military generals have described Donald Trump as a “danger” to America’s security as they endorsed Kamala Harris.
On the eve of a critical debate between Ms Harris and her Republican rival, 10 former top US military chiefs released a letter calling the vice-president the only candidate “who is fit to serve” in the country’s highest office.
While Ms Harris had “demonstrated her ability to take on the most difficult national security challenges in the Situation Room and on the international stage”, they wrote, Trump posed “a danger to our national security and democracy”.
The letter, signed by retired General Larry Ellis and retired Rear Admiral Michael Smith, among others, accused Trump of disparaging service members and putting them in “harm’s way”, including with his deal to free 5,000 Taliban fighters.
It coincided with a new Harris campaign advert placed in Palm Beach featuring Trump’s most senior former officials warning of the risks of his White House return.
The attack advert shows a montage of scathing comments about the Republican ex-president by some of his most senior former cabinet officials in what appears to be an effort to goad him ahead of their televised live showdown on Tuesday night.
“In 2016, Donald Trump said he would choose only the best people to work in his White House,” the attack advert’s narrator said. “Now those people have a warning for America: Trump is not fit to be president again.”
I want to be the one to point out that retired generals making political statements is heavily frowned upon, so for them to take a step beyond that and ENDORSE A CANDIDATE is practically unheard of except in fringe cases like Michael Flynn.
Upper brass is a pretty exclusive club, and retirees don't generally make political statements to avoid stepping on the toes of the currently serving generals/admirals. If multiple generals/admirals felt the need to take this step, they would've done it with the knowledge and consent of current leadership.
Do you Michael Flynn the convicted felon?
You mean when the FBI heavily edited Flynn's 302 form to the point they were “trying not to completely re-write” it?
Wacky generals, who only got 3 stars at most in the military, they got fired like dogs. They never made it, never will. They begged me for a job, tears in their eyes, I said Ok. People in the military hated them. They were vicious, but not smart. I would rarely see them but heard ...really bad things. Nasty to people &, would constantly miss meetings &, salutes. When Gen. Kelly came on board he was a loser &, nothing but problems.

Our international partners began moderating the intelligence they would share while Trump was in office. They couldn't trust him to not blab about state secrets during dinner parties just to try to impress people with how smart and important he was.
he wasn't fit the first time. he was NEVER fucking fit
i wouldn't trust him to walk my dog. and she passed on years ago
He'd use your dog's remains for some sort of tax scam and throw you under the bus saying it was your idea.
Or a voting scam
"Hmm, it says here that Sir Barkinwoof IV is a registered Republican. If there is some discrepancy out must be the fault of the former owner"
If appeals to conscious thought worked on Repubs, Donald wouldn't have gotten in there in 2016 to prove he is unfit. Unfortunately, all Repubs are dimwitted cultists or sociopaths.
Hey, that's not fair. Some of those dimwitted cultists are sociopaths.
'danger to US security'
Oh yes that's one of his finest qualities.
Trump is a danger to lgbtq people
Trump is a danger to illegal aliens
Trump is a danger to progressives and liberals
That’s all some people want to hear.
The fuckwit is a danger to everyone.
No shit
Hehe, rear admiral
RETIRED..
No shit, been that way since before the 2016 election
Not fit to be president again? As if he was fit the first time?
I heard she’s a nasty woman. Very mean.
I hope she hides a machete in the lectern and then starts insulting him til it builds into a mighty crescendo, when she whips out the machete and runs over to him screaming “AAAaaaarghhh!!!!” As his diaper overloads, she drops the machete and starts laughing and pointing at him.
sigh
But, it’ll be a sad spectacle with one intelligent, informed, competent woman and one sniffling, demented, sociopathic, rapist man. I’ve already seen enough of those.
I hope she hides Biden under the podium and he literally executes Donald. But it's an Official Act™, so it is totally legal and totally cool.
Very nasty, and very mean.
I love it!
