More than 740 High-Ranking National Security Officials have Endorsed VP Harris

[All Becomes New]

Maybe it’s not “revenge “ but ‘believe me, the chaos was real, and Trump in no way deserves another crack at the levers of power!”?

Neither does Kamala. She has done about nothing since being in the Whitehouse. Why would we expect differently if she was president?

 

[Oompa Loompa]

More than 700 high-ranking national security officials have endorsed Democratic candidate Vice President Harris in her run for the White House, with some leaders expressing concerns about former President Trump’s “scary authoritarian streak.”

“Vice President Harris has all the leadership qualities needed to be a strong commander in chief. She’s prepared. She’s strategic. She’s understands all sides of an issue,” retired U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Michael Smith told The Hill. “We saw as much during the debate.”

The letter endorsing Harris consists of 741 former high-ranking national security officials, including 233 general and flag officers. Among those 741 officials are 15 four-star generals, 10 former Cabinet secretaries and 10 service secretaries as well as leaders who served in Republican administrations.

“We do not agree on everything, but we all adhere to two fundamental principles,” the letter reads. “First, we believe America’s national security requires a serious and capable Commander-in-Chief. Second, we believe American democracy is invaluable.”

NSL4A Endorses Kamala Harris for President of the United States

To the American People,

We are former public servants who swore an oath to the Constitution. Many of us risked our lives for it. We are retired generals, admirals, senior noncommissioned officers, ambassadors, and senior civilian national security leaders. We are Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. We are loyal to the ideals of our nation—like freedom, democracy, and the rule of law—not to any one individual or party.

We do not agree on everything, but we all adhere to two fundamental principles. First, we believe America’s national security requires a serious and capable Commander-in-Chief. Second, we believe American democracy is invaluable. Each generation has a responsibility to defend it. That is why we, the undersigned, proudly endorse Kamala Harris to be the next President of the United States.

So what you are trying to say is the deep state prefers Kamala over Donald. That is nothing new.

Many of them left of their own accord. Many of the others never worked for Trump--but worked in the Reagan, Bush 41, and Bush 43 administrations. Others were military officers--not Trump appointees.

The common denominator among them all is that they know the difference between conservatism and chaos.

At least Joe Biden supports Trump.

Besides abandoning the Kurds in Syria, Iraq, and Turkey ( I disagreed with Trump's decision to do so ) please give me specific foreign policy actions of the Trump administration between 2017 and 2020 with which you disagree and why.
Thank you.

Publicly inviting Russia to attack our NATO partners...if they didn't pay.

'You didn't pay? You're delinquent?'... 'No I would not protect you, in fact I would encourage them to do whatever they want. You gotta pay.'"

Trump says he would 'encourage' Russia to attack Nato allies who do not pay their bills

The US presidential hopeful says he would not protect any country failing to pay its bills.

That was not an action. What he said there was only rhetoric.

Hmmm... sounds vaguely familiar in scope - like the 51 Former intelligence officers who said Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation - that is until the FBI said it was real. Then silence.

I thought it sounded familiar:

More than 200 retired generals, admirals endorse Biden, including some who served under Trump

"Our allies no longer trust or respect us, and our enemies no longer fear us," the former officers and officials wrote in a letter released Thursday.

From the OP link:

More than 700 high-ranking national security officials have endorsed Democratic candidate Vice President Harris in her run for the White House, with some leaders expressing concerns about former President Trump’s “scary authoritarian streak.”​

​

“Vice President Harris has all the leadership qualities needed to be a strong commander in chief. She’s prepared. She’s strategic. She’s understands all sides of an issue,” retired U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Michael Smith told The Hill. “We saw as much during the debate.”​

​

“As we’ve seen for nearly a decade, however, former President Trump has none of those qualities, and he has a scary authoritarian streak,” Smith, who is also the president of National Security Leaders for America, added.​

​

Bad man scary - it seems to be the latest campaign logo.

The deep state endorses Kamala Harris for president. Enough said. Yet, the left still brings the applause.

The deep state doesn't exist. It's a term invented by Republicans to frighten people.
An entity that is imaginary can't endorse.

frighten people.

The left and the right use fear tactics for power.

​

The term has precedents since at least the 1950s,including the concept of the military–industrial complex, which posits a cabal of generals and defense contractors who enrich themselves through pushing the country into endless wars.​

​

Opinion polling done in 2017 and 2018 suggests that approximately half of all Americans believe in the existence of a deep state in the United States.​

​

It's not a myth - just like Antifa is a real group.​

​

Tufts University professor Michael J. Glennon stated that President Barack Obama did not succeed in resisting or changing what he calls the "double government" and points to Obama's failure to close Guantanamo Bay detention camp, a major campaign promise, as evidence of the existence of a deep state.​

​

In a 2017 interview several weeks before Trump was inaugurated, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer called Trump "really dumb" for having repeatedly criticized the CIA, saying, "Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you." Various commentators, as well as the ACLU, have pointed to this statement as evidence for the existence of a deep state.​

​

Rebecca Gordon, a teacher and author at the University of San Francisco, wrote in a 2020 piece for Business Insider that Trump has used the term "deep state" to refer to the U.S. government, in particular government Institutions that "frustrate" him, as well as block or fail to implement his government policy such as courts, the Justice Department, and the news media.​

Knowledge is power!

...you left out the best part - Joe being Joe

 

[Fantine]

It seems you are saying that Trump became president with the misconception that he could operate government like a business, accountable to no one, like a bull in a China shop.

When he learned that he couldn't do it, he started shouting deep state.

Frustrated with Democratic processes.

Why not reply to my post or use the quote function? Why respond to my post with a stand alone comment? It almost appears that you want your comments to remain unnoticed so I wont respond. But I digress.

Who do you think is running the country right now? The answer is are the same people who forced Joe Biden to drop from the race. Kamala is just the new deep state puppeteer play thing.

To whom are you addressing your comment?

That does appear to be a wholesome interaction. However, according to Biden, he is wearing the hat that represents "the greatest threat to our democracy." So either Biden is completely okay doing photo ops dressed as Adolf Hitler, or he never truly believed MAGA Republicans were a threat to anything but his presidential bid. I would argue the latter.

When it comes to the left, the only difference between "radical right wing conspiracy theory" and truth is about four years.

Why are we surprised that big government wants big government? I really think in some ways it is that simple.

Makes you wonder who is actually running the country right now? It sure as heck ain't Joe Biden.
