Senior military officers sign letter of support for Vice-President Kamala Harris because felon Trump is not qualified to be elected

Today Show, Samantha Guthrie, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, Lester Holt, must report how senior military officers support Vice-President Kamala Harris:
Vote Kamala Harris and Tim Walz 2024!
Disturbing and detailed interview with the retired Brigadier Army General Steve Anderson, by Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC "Dateline White House" on why Trump returning to power as Commander-in-Chief presents an existential and exceptional danger  to both democracy and US national security. 
DonOLD Trump is a dangerously ridiculous bafoon 🤖🤡💀

General Andreson supports Vice-President Kamala Harris for President. A few of the General's observations based on his personal experience with Trump and in the military: 

1) He never cared about anyone's party affiliation or politics til Trump assumed power. His colleagues are similarly agnostic by training. 
2) We can't wait to act publically until Trump Youth (aka "Nazi youth") form and jackbooted thugs march down our streets. 
3) His experience and observations on the danger of Trump are shared by many of his colleagues who served with him.
4) He served in Afghanistan under Trump, Trump must never set foot again in the Oval Office
5) Trump will weaponize both the civil service, the legal system, and the military to illegally consolidate and retain his power. Trump has demonstrated this and stated it. 
6) Trump will adopt Hitler's practice of requiring senior military officers to swear loyalty to him rather than to the Constitution. 
7) Trump and his allies are encouraging festering - unadressed - extremism in the military to accomplish Trump's takeover and weaken the military. 
8) US allies view Trump as a cacauphonous 🐵buffoon. 
9) Trump and confederates have had 4 years to plan for the next January 6th evil insurrection.

Donald Trump laissez faire presidential campaign

Perhaps, at one time, Donald Trump owned a dog who compusivley dug holes to find bones. If he did, he probably figured out, by watching this canine behavior, how the news media can be just like dogs digging for bones.
New media journalists keep asking Donald Trump to tell the truth. They're like dogs digging for bones, because they keep creating craters while giving away free political ad time.

Donald Trump built his campaign to be elected the leader of the free world on his outrageous practice of telling "The Big Lie", and then leaving the wrong minded degridation hanging while the media persues the truthful information. 

In other words, he's using the marketing made infamous by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously." 

For the media, The Big Lie amounts to yellow journalism used by Trump for political purposes, capitalizing on the free media advertising resulting from the impact. 

This is how it happens. Donald Trump is interviewed and allowed unlimited free time to respond to lies that he has created! It's a cunning strategy and one the media seems intent on following, like desperate dogs digging for bones.

What's most disturbing about this wrong minded strategy is that after Donald Trump tells lies, he then calls them back without regard for his behavior. His laissez faire (ho-hum) attitude about telling lies never seems to be called into question.  

Rather, the lies spin follow up calls for media intereviews. Obviously, the calls are welcome, because anytime Trump can claim the limelight, he doesn't much care what topic he must defend. So, NBCNews journalist and anchor Lester Holt hostedprime time coverage with Donald Trump. Sure, Holt asked Trump to defend the lies told during his "I'll get you, my little pretty....." lie filled speech about Secretary Hillary Clinton. But, skillful at "The Big Lie", Trump didn't answer any questions but  just glossed over Holt's drilling. 

In other words, Holt gets a C-or putting Trump in prime time news without getting him to tell the truth.

Trump's laissez faire response to Holt just contriubted to "The Big Lie" strategy.  

It's time for the news media to stop giving away free media time to Donald Trump, especially while he continues to perpetrate lies without evidence and provides no information voters can use to determine his qualifications to lead the free world.  

For example, Lester Holt never asked Donald Trump about when he will release his income tax information. Instead, Holt just allowed Trump to continue to perpetrate lies by not answering any question truthfully.

In my opinion, the news media created the Trumponian monster by giving away (by some estimates) a billion dollars in free advertising. Now, it's time to give Secreatary Hillary Clinton the same and equal amount of time.

Secretary Clinton shows world leadership at Democrat debate in Charleston SC


Democrats are justifiably impressed by the excellent trio of candidates running for the 2016, nomination to be president of the United States. Compared to the chaos in the Republican line up of free for all "right and righter-wing" candidates, the trio of Secretary Hillary Clinton, Governor Martin O'Malley and Senator Bernie Sanders look like a triumverate of judicial scholars.   Secretary Clinton demonstrated experience and leadership in the fourth Democratic debate on January 19th, in Charleston, SC.
Although the three Democratic candidates are well spoken, intelligent, progressive and experienced, the world class leadership of Secretary Hillary Clinton rises to the top of the triumverate.
In fact, at the debate, Senator Sanders of Vermont was expert at promoting his vision of how to resolve income inequality, wealth re-distribution and protection of the middle class safety net programs like Social Security and Medicare. In fact, the Vermont senator denounced a "corrupt" political system and cast himself as a break from it, while Hillary Clinton tied herself tightly with President Barack Obama
On the other hand, Governor O'Malley was eloquent when speaking about traditional liberal values and how he was successful as Maryland's governor.  

By a short read of her impressive resume, the former first lady of Arkansas, former First Lady of the Free World, former Senator of New York State and former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is the best qualified of any of the presidential candidates to lead the free world. Her domestic and international leadership  experiences are exemplary. America is abolutely fortunate to have Mrs. Clinton running to be the first woman to be elected leader of the free world.

In my opinion, the following is the Q & A exchange that gave the January 18th Charleston SC debate to Secretary Clinton; and exemplified her international experience over the other two Democratic opponents, from The Washington Post- it's a short discourse, but to  the point and demonstrates extraordinary insight:

NBC Moderator Lester Holt asked about Mrs. Clinton's experience with Russia.

"As president, would you hand Vladimir Putin a reset button?"

CLINTON: Well, it would depend on what I got for it and I can tell you what we got in the first term, we got a new start treaty to reduce nuclear weapons between the United States and Russia. We got permission to resupply our troops in Afghanistan by traveling across Russia.

We got Russia to sign on to our sanctions against Iran and other very important commitments. So look, in diplomacy, you are always trying to see how you can figure out the interest of the other to see if there isn't some way you can advance your security and your values.

When Putin came back in the fall of 2011, it was very clear he came back with a mission. And I began speaking out as soon as that happened because there were some fraudulent elections held, and Russians poured out into the streets to demand their freedom, and he cracked down. And in fact, accused me of fomenting it. So we now know that he has a mixed record to say the least and we have to figure out how to deal with him.

HOLT follow up: What's your relationship with him (Putin)?

CLINTON: Well, my relationship with him, it's -- it's interesting.

(LAUGHTER)

It's one, I think, of respect. We've had some very tough dealings with one another. And I know that he's someone that you have to continuingly stand up to because, like many bullies, he is somebody who will take as much as he possibly can unless you do.

And we need to get the Europeans to be more willing to stand up, I was pleased they put sanctions on after Crimea and eastern Ukraine and the downing of the airliner, but we've got to be more united in preventing Putin from taking a more aggressive stance in Europe and the Middle East.


Maine Writer summary- Americans can't wait to train another leader of the free world.  Secretary Clinton has the experience to begin leading the free world on day one of her administration. America will benefit from seamless and experienced leadership by a well vetted world respected stateswoman.  

Americans must elect Hillary Clinton 2016 to be president. By the way, in the process of electing her, we must also rid our nation of right wing extremists, so to protect the Democratic progressive policies advocated for by Senator Bernie Sanders.
