"What I would ask every American to do is, again, stand in front of that mirror and say, what are we about?" McChrystal continued. "Am I really willing to throw away or ignore some of the things that people do that are pretty unacceptable normally just because they accomplish certain other things that we might like. If we want to be governed by someone we wouldn't do a business deal with because their background is so shady, if we're willing to do that then that's in conflict with who I think we are."
"And so I think it's necessary in those times to take a stand," he said.

Trumps fragile ego and his reaction is driving away the support of his own party. Soon he is going to need all the
support he can get, but it won't be there because of his ugly abrasive reaction to anything except adoration.
btw...your set would look much better if you darken the background and put a little light on that pretty face.

Thanks for the set advice.
I know but I am at work, I do 24/7 so do videos when I am on break, and cant really mess with the background.
But I am working on it.
As far as trump, the point I am making in this OP is that I fine a person with a fragile ego who is an adulterer, liar, etc., to be mar less immoral than war mongerers, or people who advcate using tax payer money to bail out corrupt bankers.
SUBJECT: Farewell Message
On February 1, 1865, President Lincoln sent to General Ulysses S. Grant a one sentence telegram. It read: "Let nothing which is transpiring, change, hinder, or delay your military movements, or plans."
Our Department's leadership, civilian and military, remains in the best possible hands. I am confident that each of you remains undistracted from our sworn mission to support and defend the Constitution while protecting our way of life. Our Department is proven to be at its best when the times are most difficult. So keep the faith in our country and hold fast, alongside our allies, aligned against our foes.
It has been my high honor to serve at your side. May God hold you safe in the air, on land, and at sea.
James N. Mattis
Lincoln wrote Secretary of State William H. Seward the next day, January 31, assigning him to meet with the Confederates, and setting conditions that: there must be a restoration of the Union; there would be no “receding” of the Emancipation Proclamation; and no “cessation of hostilities short of an end of the war”. That day the 13th Amendment banning slavery was passed by the House, strengthening Lincoln’s position.
But Lincoln was taking no chances on that latter point – that there would be no truce – and followed up on his instructions to Grant sent through Stanton, with his own telegram directly to Grant, sent February 1, 1865, at 9:30 AM. “Let nothing which is transpiring change, hinder, or delay your military movements or plans.
A Lincoln, President”. “Your dispatch received. There will be no armistice in consequence of the presence of Mr. Stevens & others within our lines. The troops are kept in readiness to move at the shortest notice if occasion should justify it. U.S. Grant, Lt. Gen

There's really no need to be so harsh with Trump.
He's better than most and he actually cares about what he's doing.
Bush was worse by orders of magnitude.
If you're afraid of what Trump could potentially do, then it's time we start reigning in the scope of government as envisioned by the neocons at height of the Iraq war.
Trump is trying to bring troops home? Let's do it. You're not going to convince a lot of people that all the wars that used to be bad are now good because Trump wants out.
"Empty uniform"? Just curious how your military record stacks up against his?

Is McCrystal the empty uniform who said he was turning in his Top Secret security clearance, to protest Trump taking away John Brennan's clearance?
Give it a chance or get out of the way and let the peacemakers work.
