Powell voted for Hillary. So stop acting as if this position is something new.

I’ve heard that claim, but every video I’ve seen of Barr hasn’t had anything thrown at him. Any source you could point me to which shows projectiles being hurled at him?

- Police believed? Either you know or don't know. This is the same bullshit approach they made when they killed the Iraqi General. We believe we had credible evidence he was a threat.
- CNN disputed the bottle throwing.
- The GOP lies all the time.

I think I commented somewhere else about the Colin Powell sock puppet show by Hillary... It is the comedy show where Hillary sticks her hand up his butt and makes him say things....

"Elite military club" is mostly pentagon lifers who are looking for their second career in the defense and/or consulting industry. None of them like anyone trying to stop or alter direction in our 20+ year global conflicts. Democrats used to be against on going wars and conflicts. Everyone in the establishment and their minions appears okay with endless wars in the middle east. They have become the status quo.

Powell has been a democrat supporter for the last 4 elections, this is dog bites man story. No news at all. Many of the former brass were against Trump in 2016 as we was not the establishment candidate. How many of these elite club members have been unable to win a 20 year war and have their fingerprints all over it?

Cpl Jeff N. - Jeff, we all know why you and your buddies want to conflate people looting and rioting with peaceful protesters. You know why you are doing it and I know why you are doing it. It provides and excuse and is just another kind of lie you tell. Maybe they taught you that fashion of intellectual dishonesty and bad faith arguing over at Delta Airlines. ... or are you going to tell me you never worked for Delta Airlines... again. I don't see you opposing police perpetrated assault, but then again, why would you? You and people like you are part of the problem. Your lack of personal and moral integrity is more than skin deep. It is part of who you are.

MSgt Steve Sweeney - You are a moron Steve and a dishonest one no less.

Peaceful protesting is protected behavior under the first amendment. Can you tell me which amendment protects looting, burning, assault and battery etc.? No, you can't because it doesn't exist.

They are not being conflated, they are being contrasted. Try a little critical thinking for a moment, as hard as that will be for you.

I have been clear on other posts that I do not support police brutality against anyone. What happened in the video to George Floyd was unacceptable and those responsible should be punished. I am not a fan of aggressive law enforcement or prosecutors etc. Nice try though.

Yes, I've already told you I don't work for Delta Airlines. I know you think you are clever, you are not. You are a loser that cannot make sound arguments so you attempt character assassination and personal attacks. I don't give a crap what you think about me. I live by simple rule. I try to treat others as I want to be treated. When people like you show up and demonstrate they are unable to interact without being a complete horses ass etc.. I return the insult.

Cpl Jeff N. - Cry all you want Jeff. You want to focus on the relative few cases of vandalism and looting so you can give a pass to the tactics used on peaceful protesters to deny them Constitutionally protected rights. That's called conflating. To contrast something, you would have to address both sides, but you did not. But of course you don't have the integrity to own up to it, so you keep trying to explain and rationalize what you are doing.

"Character assassination and personal attacks" you say? You mean like the thing you did for your entire opening statement while not addressing the issues and casting Powell, Mattis and the others as "mostly pentagon lifers" that have "been unable to win a 20 year war and have their fingerprints all over it"? Well, if you want to be treated like you treat others, you are getting your wish. But you are correct. You are not able to make a sound argument on the issue, so you result to the Ad Hominem attack, and then you accuse other people of doing exactly what you just did.... just like the simple minded, Delta Airlines little bitch you are.

Conservative media loves it when respected Conservative leaning military and former military leaders criticized Democratic leadership but heaven forbid they ever criticize Republican leadership.
Powell and others are classic military generals turn politician cause the Flag Officer corps is full of politics in and out of uniform. Some will say he’s a RINO cause he didn’t vote for McCain or Romney or Trump. The classic “you must vote the party line no matter what” mentality. Democrats suffer from the same ineptitude that gave them HRC and Biden as their candidates. Voter independence and free thought should be applauded.

Cpl Benjamin Long My orange godzilla? My enemies are scum of the earth? Weak candidates?
Sorry but you completely lost me with your post. Both parties are extremely weak and share the same interests: their wealthy donor base. The military has always been filled with politics especially at the GO level and political appointees. So tell me again who’s falling into the abyss and who supports the “orange godzilla”? Surely not me.

MAJ James Woods you think there is only two parties? Each party is a cabal of warring tribes that don't see their own fractures... power isn't about money... It's about who is left standing in the ashes at the end of the day

Cpl Benjamin Long Yeah. We’re a two party system that sabotages all third party movements. And within the two parties we see splintered groups: progressives, liberals, centrists, corporatists, conservatives, and libertarians. Power isn’t about money but money has the largest influence on political influence otherwise each party’s controlling faction wouldn’t be so against campaign finance reform and limited donations.
But yeah I wish our democracy was more open; thus, we would automatically see every party represented on the stage instead of rules that intentionally limits participation to Democratic and Republican candidates. Even an Independent has a hard time. What you expect when the debate committee is controlled by DNC and RNC.
