Mattis told Coats Trump is 'dangerous,' 'unfit': Woodward book
By Tal Axelrod - 09/09/20 01:32 PM EDT

Former Defense Secretary James Mattis told then-Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats that President Trump was “dangerous” and “unfit,” according to excerpts from Bob Woodward’s upcoming book “Rage.”

Mattis, who left the White House at the end of 2018 over differences on defense strategy with the president, warned Coats that “there may come a time when we have to take collective action” against Trump, according to excerpts of the Woodward book reported upon by The Washington Post,

The Post did not say if Woodward’s book clarified what kind of “collective action” Mattis was referencing.


In a separate conversation, Mattis said, “The president has no moral compass,” to which Coats responded, “True. To him, a lie is not a lie. It’s just what he thinks. He doesn’t know the difference between the truth and a lie.”

Oh yeah?  But Chinese spy driver, for  Feinstein....did nothing? He received no information.  or 33 ,000  e-mails on UNSECURED  server in private home of Hillary Clinton......had no effect?   Then Hunter BIDEN...receiving one million dollars, or was it. one billion from CHINA.....because his DAD,  was VP UNDER OBAMA...   They did not reveal  anything to China?   MATTIS IS A TRAITOR TO AMERICA.  TREASON. 

GIVE ME A BREAK!   Then not to mention, both sides have spy's.  Nothing 'secret' about our system.  I would say MATTIS IS WHO DISCLOSED TO CHINA or other foreign people, about our systems. 

Overall, I say BOGUS BOOK AND BALONEY.

NO.   JUST MORE BALONEY.  Anonymous sources....again.  Nothing was disclosed.  Just like I thought.  Mystery link and part of article below.  POTUS said nothing incriminating.. Just that we have a great system.  But this James,  'think's' , it may be this program.  WHY EVEN SAY THAT?   THAT IS DISCLOSING SOME INFO.  AHOLE.   

-----
Woodward’s book says unnamed sources later confirmed a new weapons system but would not provide any further details and were surprised that Trump had disclosed it, the Post reported.

James Acton, co-director of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace’s nuclear policy program, suggested Wednesday that Trump may have been referring to the controversial submarine-launched low-yield nuclear warhead, the existence of which is known, although details remain classified.

COVID dialogue.  A NOTHING BURGER.  Sure it can be deadly and it is another form of "FLU."   CORONAVIRUS VIRUS.  How does this even make any 'news'?   BTW.  IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO COPY YOUR QUOTE.

This is the latest October surprise, unveiled a little early because the Biden campaign is doing so poorly.

Yes.  The coordination between the release of this crap and a Biden appearance and television advertisements is one example media folks should be sued for.

During the last presidential election, maybe. Trump is a known quantity now - he's been president for four years, for f&$@ sake. We kinda know what to expect of the guy.

I don't know what these idiots think they're accomplishing with this crap.

Heard the other day, that the Military vote is larger than any of the minority blocs and that is the reason.

In 2016, tens of thousand of military ballots were not counted.  Since that isn't going to fly again...they're trying a new tact.

That would explain last week's bullshit 'scandal'. Not gonna work. Although I have difficulty believing the military vote is larger than the black vote.

In a sea of lies from the media and the Democrats it is a little difficult to get worked up by the Trump lies at this point.

It may have just referred to the Hispanic/Asian voting blocs.  Sorry.
