Trump remembers Colin Powell with “malevolent, spiteful, narcissistic statement”.

[Correll]

Amazing how when you are corrected you revert to stupid.

Every elected official swears an oath to defend the Constitution.

That is to remind them that their loyalty is to We the People NOT a political party

Their primary overall loyalty yes. I did not claim he violated THAT.


But, the posts he accepted where POLITICAL APPOINTMENTS, and he also had a level of loyalty, a LESSER loyalty towards the person who appointed him.


He betrayed his supposedly fellow Republicans, not his Fellow Americans.


I wanted him shunned and shamed, not shot.



It is really hard for me to credit that you missed that. You really don't come across as stupid.

Powell never was a "Republican." It was convenient at one time for him to associate himself with the Republican Party, but he never supported much that the Republican Party stood for.

Haha, and here we go... I would ask you to support this in detail, but we both know you cannot.

The fact is we have a two party dominant system. And one party is dominant over the other. And it is not the Repubs who are the dominant party. Perhaps having several parties would suffice in a nation divided.

Maybe so. A fine reason to implement public funding of elections.

 

[BlindBoo]

I was clear that he betrayed his political party.

I was pretty specific about which part of the GOP I was referring to.

 

[Chillicothe]

My poor avatar doesn't wanna over-drive the nail, but, it does bear repeating:

• Is the Republicanism of Colin Powell the same Republicanism of Marjorie Taylor Greene? of Matt Goetz? of Rudy Giuliani?
• Are those folks cut out of the same cloth as General Colin Powell?
• Would he identify himself as kindred spirits with folks of that caliber?
• Colin Powell didn't leave the GOP. The GOP left him.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

Powell was capable of doing something Trump has never been able to............that is to say "I was wrong".

Powell was a mass murderer unlike trump.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

Tommy Tainant I see you are looking in the mirror now. Yeah everyone knows your opinion doesnt mean shit around here.

 

[pknopp]

Powell was a mass murderer unlike trump.

Bush, Obama and Trump were all mass murderers.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

Trump attacks Colin Powell and complains about ‘beautiful’ news coverage of his death

The former president slammed the retired general and diplomat as a ‘classic RINO’

www.independent.co.uk

Well thats not like Donald to behave like that. I wonder what happened to his legendary generosity of spirit.

Another Trump dedication thread from the UK. Thank you.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

Always a Class Act

Wow. A compliment from a never Trumper

 

[Correll]

I was pretty specific about which part of the GOP I was referring to.

The betrayal came, when he endorsed OBAMA over John McCain.


John McCain is a moderate. Very moderate.


Your obsession with Trump, is making you, not make sense.


Powell betrayed his friends and supporters in the GOP, and we were and still are pissed at him.


That you libs need to pretend that is weird or wrong of us, is just you people gaslighting.

 

[Chillicothe]

"...still are pissed at him.........That you libs need to pretend that is weird or wrong of us, is just.....gaslighting."

Ummm, nope, poster Correll.
It is weird.
The guy is dead.
Move on. Life is short.

Yeah, they are cut from the same cloth, blatant liars in pursuit of their careers.

I'm not the one that started this thread. I'm not the one coming into this thread to take shit about other people. I'm only here because assholes are talking shit me and mine, and I want to call them on it.

"....they are cut from the same cloth, blatant liars in pursuit of their careers."

I'm sure the hand inside the 'cnm' avatar is a smart guy? or gal?
However, the avatar he/she has hired to front for their thinking, well, that avatar comes across as rather unread. Somewhat uninformed.
Hey, it happens. A bad hire.

So do this, good poster 'cnm'.......get this book:

My American Journey

Colin Powell is the embodiment of the American dream. He was born in Harlem to immigrant parents from Jamaica. He knew the rough life of ...

www.goodreads.com

It's Powell's autobiography.

I'm not totally sure there has been a biography published but I did find this next reference on Amazon. Though I have not read it.

I offer you these reading assignments, poster 'cnm' with the hope that you will learn a bit more about the character, qualities, and accomplishments of Colin Powell vis-a-vis those of Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Goetz.

I don't know for sure, but........but I suspect you'll note there are some differences that accrued to America's benefit.

Good luck. And good reading.

 

[Dr Grump]

Actually you will have the largest crowd of mourners in history

What? Making sure he's dead?

Why did he endorse the dem Obama, over his fellow Republican John McCain?

 

[Chillicothe]

"Why did he endorse the dem Obama, over his fellow Republican John McCain?"

I personally do not know.
Never bothered to care enough to find out.

But, I would speculate that if you are truly interested you could do a bit of googling and find contemporary interviews of Powell where he articulated his reasoning.

I would be interesting in seeing what you find and share. From Powell's actual words.

Up to that point, Powell was a much respected and supported political figure among hte republican party.


His military and political career had impressed large percentages of hte party.


Citing his autobiography is oddly not relevant. WE knew all that and that is why we liked and supported him.


Then he betrayed us. HIs reasons, would be of some interest, but really, the point is, he betrayed us.


That you libs find that hard to understand, is just you people gaslighting us.
