I hope you got your rebel treason flag.

BTW why are you pretending to care about crime in Chicago? Black Lives DON'T Matter, remember.

Me, too, General — me, too.

The gnawing in retired Army Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez’s gut began in June 2015, when Donald Trump rode a golden escalator to the basement of Trump Tower and announced his candidacy for president. In his impromptu speech, Trump likened Mexican immigrants to a plague. “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume,” the candidate offered almost as an afterthought, “are good people.”

I immediately flashed back to my first battalion commander telling me I was not good enough to compete with West Pointers because of who I was and where I came from,” says Sanchez, a Mexican American raised poor in south Texas, and who ultimately would serve as commander of all coalition ground forces in Iraq.

Over the next five years, as Trump made the transition from Republican nominee to president, Sanchez’s disgust at Trump’s actions only grew. There was Trump’s attack on Muslim Gold Star parents. His contention that a judge presiding over a lawsuit against him could not be impartial because the judge was Hispanic. His travel ban on Muslims. His refusal to condemn white supremacists following racial violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. His separating Latino families at the southern border, and his efforts to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and deport so-called Dreamers. His Cinco de Mayo celebration involving a photograph of himself eating a taco bowl, grinning.

"If Donald Trump commanded any brigade or division in the U.S. Army, he would have been relieved years ago for creating a toxic command climate.”https://t.co/QAZoTfU7qc



The First U.S. General To Call Trump a Bigot Ricardo Sanchez, the retired former commander of U.S. ground forces in Iraq, becomes the first high-ranking military officer to call out the president for bigotry.

Why do you talk so much about blacks when the President talks much more about YOUR people? He says you people are. drug smuggling criminals and rapists and maybe a few good people?

"I hope you get your BLM "Defund the Police" policy where you live and you get Communists who take everything you own. Then you will understand how idiotic your support of them is."




I hope I get a chance to say, "I told you so. That was the most idiotic post of 2020" at some future date, but I know that date will never come. It'll be like, "See that? It's beginning."

I long for the simpler time of my youth, one where BLM was the respected Bureau of Land Management, and the tipping points to communism were fluoride in the water and rock and roll.
