"""CNN’s Kirby: Trump’s Thanksgiving Call to Troops ‘Completely Inappropriate’ — Military Is Not ‘MAGA Crowd’""" Thursday on CNN’s “Inside Politics,” network Military and Diplomatic analyst retired Rear Admiral John Kirby, who served as the spokesman for the State Department and the Department of Defense during the Obama administration, said President Donald Trump’s Thanksgiving call to the military this morning was “completely inappropriate.”

Kirby said, “It was completely inappropriate. Look, all he needed to say is thanks to you and your families, and I support your mission, and I am going to continue to support it going forward. Very simple. That is all he really needed to say. He found a way to inject judicial court decisions he doesn’t like on immigration and trade deals he finds unfair — not a good place to put the troops. They are not an extension of the MAGA crowd. They are not an arm of the Republican party.”

Why does anyone even post this wacko bull s**t? Ya call them wackos and then post it here, giving yet even more coverage for these AH's? If people want to gawk at lying leftist/Communist on CNN fine, but why do people constantly post it here on an hourly basis when they can see it 24/7 on CNN? Is the motive here to get people to click on CNN's link to provided them with more hits?

Btw, it's the endless leftist propaganda being posted like this which have significantly reduced the frequency of my visits here.

I’d have to hear how he said it, might have been a little cringy, whatever. Trump is Trump.

How exhausted must they be with all this seething rage and hate while searching for every little thing to get pissy about. I predict a lot of antihypertensive meds coupled with heart attacks and strokes for this crowd if they don’t let off the continuous rants and rages.

The social engineering programs pushed on the military were designed to change the military culture and foster more liberalism and voting for liberals.

Anything Trump does or says is inappropriate, by definition.

Yet so many here will attack conservative bloggers who try to do their best at fighting lies an propoganda from the MSM.

So today we have 50% less conservative bloggers than we had 10 years ago. Yet, we continually see MSM leftist rag after leftist rag supported by freepers who post and read their drivel.

Running out of sources of information.

If you haven’t noticed, FOX has been taken over by the two liboard sons of Murdock and b their Clintonista consorts.

Facebook and Twitter are shutting down
conservative political speech.

Aside from Freerepublic, which is purely a conservative political site, there is no longer any way to reach the general political audience, or independent voters.
Free speech has been shut down in all institutions of higher learning and students are now indoctrinated rather than educated. Even the religious establishment - Catholic and Protestant Churches alike, have been infiltrated by Marxist ideologues. The “Entertainment Industry” has been converted into a Marxist propaganda mill. All the NEWS organs march in lock step to promote a leftist agenda.
All Federal Law Agencues have beenough politicized and weaponized by the Marxist Left.

America has turned into a de facto fascist state where punk thug criminals like Sessions, Mueller, Rosenstein, et al can effectively tie the hands of a legally elected President.

All of this started under Bush I and crept slong, expanding under Clinton, Bush II and Obama.

Trump and his personality have torn open the rotten log and the leftist maggots and worms and wasps have come out in full battle mode as they have finally been exposed to the light of day.

Its no longer serious. It’s critical.
Trump put America on life support. But the oxygen is running out.

Who elected Kirby President? I don’t remember that happening? In fact, who elected him to ANY office?

You can get to flag rank solely in public affairs?

I had no idea. Soon the women in charge of maternity issues in the six branches will be generals and admirals.

Sad. I retired an O3, not even close to flag rank. This type of preening and scolding is so embarrassing.

They have to say this crap, then we all watch their after the fact videos. I decide. Done with Stormy, the creepy porn lawyer, Obama, Brennen, Michelle Obama, CNN, their racist journalists, and most leftist Hollywierds. I don’t click on stuff posted by them or others.

I let it go by. Not worth my time. I have wasted enough time commenting on them.
