    If you want to get into an in-depth discussion regarding Obama's birth then start a current events OP on the subject and I will be happy to spend some time discussing this in depth.

    Mattis is an old grunt and a war hawk like most of the military. He deserves to be fired. And Esper needs to be fired next for disagreeing in public with his boss. He's just another swamp creature. It is amazing how the left respects the military now. Isn't it ironic? I bet they don't like Secretary of State, huh?

    The same can be said about you on the left. You have been socially engineered to see what you want, not the reality.

    Yes, Obama did skip his intelligence briefings in favor of a written summary. Smart.

    Trump has been skipping all intelligence briefings for over 70 years.

    What accusations? I made no accusations. I was careful not to. Therefore, I have to ask. Is reading comprehension an issue for you?

    It’s the truth.

    Democrats are absolutely dividing America. If you can’t see it, thats on you.

    Like Obama, Trump does skip USG intelligence agency briefings. Another reason why his presidency has been so effective.
    When it comes to USG secret police/spy agencies "American intelligence" has become and oxymoron.

    I can't think of any policy advocated by Trump that DP politicians and RINOs have not supported when a DP President was in the WH.

    Almost all of the opposition is generated by blind partisan irrational hate.

    Not a troll at all, your inability to see the truth is not my fault.

    Former White House chief of Staff John Kelly: 'I agree' with Jim Mattis on Trump

    (CNN)Former White House chief of staff John Kelly said Friday he agrees with former Secretary of Defense Gen. Jim Mattis' stark warning this week that President Donald Trump is "the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people" as nationwide protests have intensified over the death of George Floyd.

    "I agree with him," Kelly told Anthony Scaramucci, former White House communications director.

    "There is a concern, I think an awful big concern, that the partisanship has gotten out of hand, the tribal thing has gotten out of hand," Kelly said. "He's quite a man, Jim Mattis, and for him to do that tells you where he is relative to the concern he has for our country."

    Mm, yes, their constant calling for calm and unity is terribly divisive of them. They should knock that off and start calling Fox News, Donald Trump and his supporters "the enemy of the people" and terrorists, and be sure to talk a lot about "us" and "them" in every speech. That's the way to bring a nation together.

    They aren’t constantly calling for unity, they are constantly berating the president and his supporters with lies. They only care about violence when it’s them as the victim but care nothing about us. They claim anyone who disagrees with them is racist. I have no doubt you believe what you are saying but you could not be further from the truth. Our division is due to the lies of Democrats.

    Trump supporters like most Americans are very anti-war.

    They rightfully attack the president for his very real failings, as all people should. We all should hold him to a high standard, and importantly, it needs to be an objective, fact-based standard. His supporters fail to do this. Repeatedly, and with prejudice. And, of course, no Democrats are attacking Trump with lies, but Trump sure does attack others with lies, and he does that on a constant basis, and it is a big part of why he is attacked by not only Democrats, but Republicans and independents (such as myself) as well.

    I won't bother with the rest of your falsehoods about Democrats, other than to say I don't think you really believe what you're saying, because there is just no basis for it at all, and it all comes off more as a rationalization for an irrational hatred of Democrats than an honest, fact-based critique.
