    Another voice wakes up from a coma.

    Colin Powell will vote for Biden also says that Trump has ‘drifted away’ from the Constitution. Powell added that that he thinks Trump has not been an effective president and that he lies “all the time.” I do not care if Powell votes for Biden or not. what is important is that Powell sat for an interview with Jake tapper and publicly told the truth about Trump.

    Every voice who condemns the behavior of the current POTUS is one step closer to the curing the cancer of POTUS T's tyranny
    and the restoration of true patriotic American values.

    I would think that every patriotic American would want to protect our Constitution from any tyrannical POTUS, do you?

    Colin Powell is a Globalist.
    he'd string you. me and ANY liberal / Democrat out to dry in a heartbeat if it'd give him a thicker wallet or a bit more power and influence.

    This is why it's critical on a life urgent scale that they not regain power.
    Considering Colin Powell as honest is like calling Rosie O'Donnell skinny.

    VP Biden sniffs little girls. I couldn't think of anything else to contribute to this boring story, sorry.

    Ok let me try a little harder. I'm not quite sure why the left would care to what degree the Constitution is followed under the Trump administration when under the Obama administration it was regularly violated to the tune of IIRC 20+ times without a single hoot from Dem politicians or media.

    Remember when Pres Obama strong armed Chrysler Automotive's priority creditors into taking 28 cents on the dollar for their claim so that labor unions (who donated to his campaign btw) could take near full amounts. That was a violation of the due process clause and the Supreme Court struck it down.

    Remember the recess appointments to the consumer protection bureau and labor relations boards that were also struck down by the Supreme Court, unanimously, as Congress had deemed confirmation to be the duty of the Senate and not the President.

    Remember one of Pres Obama's last scams was to use Clear Air Act to give the EPA unlimited powers to regulate power-plant emissions? Problem there is that the act itself didn't include any mechanism allowing for enhancement by Presidential discretion and the Supreme Court put a stay on the rule.

    Could go on, could bring up Obamacare and DACA and Cap-n-Trade and Net Neutrality and a dozen others, but the point was that when it comes to the Constitution the left isn't exactly a champion of its bindings and so I doubt they give much of a damn about what Powell saying - more so this is likely just about giving any anti-Trump critic a voice.

    Powell hasn’t voted Republican for 16 years. He’s just another black Democrat.

    Woke up? He voted for Hillary. He's always been a RINO, and only got to his high position in the military due to affirmative action. That was my uncle's opinion, and that of other retired senior military friends at his San Diego retirement facility. One of them was a former assistant commandant of the Marine Corps.

    Like Powell lied about WMDs, which got us into the disastrous Iraq war?

    Where was his concern for the Constitution when Obama was using the IRS against political opponents, and launching the Russia hoax? Gen. Powell, just shut up.

    Thank you for your service to this country , Colin Powell, and thank you for your continuing service to this country defending it from enemies, both foreign and domestic.

    Powell helped Clinton set up her illegal server to avoid FOIA and oversight...he also lied to the world about Iraq's WMDs...he has no credibility and his word can't be trusted.

    “Drifted away” from the constitution? I suppose that’s a nice way of saying he’s never read it.

    So every Afro American who rose up the ranks from 2nd Louie to general officer did it only because of Affirmative Action? Is that what you are implying? Are you aware of Powell's bio and that Affirmative Action was not yet around when he was commissioned.
    Oh I surmise that you believe that any minority who does not agree with you politically who achieved success must have done sononly because of political affirmation action. I get it.

    Powell did go along with the Dick Cheney created lie as did most all of Bush W 's administration of W included and Democratic Congressmen/Senators. That does not excuse Powell but WTH does that have to do with Afimative Action.

    Afirmative Action has way out lived it's usefulness and should have been sunsetted way before it cause disincentive. You do understand thatvAA was a form of reparations don't you?

    No one on Earth is credible enough to criticize Trump.

    Even the Pope....

    Powell has become very wishy washy over the years. He likes to talk out of both sides of his ass. I can't recall any time where he stuck to his guns. He would always change his stance on it. He voted for Obama. That should scream red flags anyone

    Straw man, I never said that. I'm saying Powell got preferential treatment because of his race and leapfrogged ahead of white officers who had more seniority.

    Another straw man I never said. Lying doesn't help your cause.

    Including Biden and Hillary.

    And is probably unconsitutional.

    A kooky idea. If we could prove your great great grandfather really treated mine horribly, would you give me your job to make up for it?

    Powell was never 'his' general. The rank and file military love Trump.

    According to a Military Times survey conducted last fall, 50 percent of active-service military hold an unfavorable view of the president, compared to only 37 percent when he was elected.

    Less than half approve. And that's before he fired a popular and respected ship's captain and suggested using the active military against US citizens on US soil.
    Of course Military Times is just another MSM outlet.... Right?

    If that’s the case, what would considering Trump to be an honest and effective leader be?

    So don't say this about me:

    "Oh I surmise that you believe that any minority who does not agree with you politically who achieved success must have done sononly because of political affirmation action. I get it."

    You invented that.

    If it was ruled on correctly it would be seen as the discrimination it is.

    Maybe dems will take in interest in the constitution now. Trump isn't the cancer, he is the symptom. The cancer is the abuse of power that made his election possible.

    There are Progressive Elites at the top of both the Democrat and Republican Parties.

    Hopefully, we will weed the rest of the Globalist Generals out of the U.S. military during Trump's second term.

    CNN has a new poll that has Trump losing significantly to Biden.....Fox News wanted you to know

    HINT: Fox News is now just another in a long list of left wing propaganda fake news sites.
