L'info me semble 1 peu erronée. #Murkowski, sénatrice républicaine d'#Alaska, est pour moi la 1ère à dire fermement qu'elle ne votera pas avant l'élection pour 1 choix de #Trump afin de remplacer #Ginsburg. Collins, sénatrice du Maine, dit que le Sénat ne "devrait" pas le faire.
#LastRT C'est conforme à l'historique des 2 sénatrices républicaines. #Murkowski a voté contre #Trump sur la nomination de #Kavanaugh en commission.
#Collins est toujours rentrée dans le rang. Et elle est en campagne de réélection, très dure, dans le Maine de surcroît.
Et si vous voulez savoir pourquoi #Murkowski peut l'ouvrir publiquement si souvent contre #Trump, lire mon enfilade de juin dernier, quand elle avait soutenu #Mattis...#droitedanssesbottes #àdérouler

Read Gen #Mattis's extraordinary rebuke of Trump following the teargassing of peaceful protesters: "We must reject & hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our #Constitution." cnbc.com/2020/06/03/rea…
General #Mattis: "The #Nazi slogan for destroying us … was ‘Divide and Conquer.’ Our American answer is ‘In Union there is Strength. ... Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try" (6/3/20). Image
Trump's former Defense Sec, Gen #Mattis (6/3): "We know that we are better than the abuse of executive authority that we witnessed in Lafayette Square. We must reject and hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our #Constitution." #VoteBiden Image

Now we know Trump mocked a man's #disability because he feels "disgust for those who have suffered." As president, he told staff "not to include wounded #veterans" in an event because “Nobody wants to see that."

Trump's views of #vets: reporting from @TheAtlantic (thread)
.@FoxNews @AP & other media organizations have verified @TheAtlantic's reporting that Trump lied when he said he couldn't reach a French cemetery to honor America's war dead. In fact, "he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain."
“Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers," Trump told senior staff members," referring to America's WWI fallen. During the same 2018 trip, he referred to the "more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as 'suckers' for getting killed."

Evènement politique majeur consécutif à la philippique de #Mattis: la sénatrice républicaine d'Alaska Murkowski déclare à l'instant que les propos de #Mattis concernant #Trump étaient "vrais, honnêtes, nécessaires et mérités". Et ne le soutiendra peut-être pas en novembre.

2) Bien sûr, Lisa #Murkowski est 1 des républicaines déjà les plus hostiles à #Trump au Sénat, car elle peut se le permettre. Héritière d'1 "baron" politique local, son père Frank (vingt ans sénateur+ gouverneur), elle est très enracinée en #Alaska, et ce d'autant plus que...
3)...#Murkowski a survécu de justesse en 2010 à 1 défi en primaire- qu'elle perdit- puis à l'élection générale d'1 "proto-#Trump" soutenu par Sarah Palin, le national-populiste Joe Miller. Cela l'a positionnée nettement au centre et l'a vaccinée contre tout nouveau défi du type..

#BREAKING James MATTIS Denounces President Trump, Describes Him as a Threat to the Constitution. In an extraordinary (overdue!) condemnation, the former defense secretary backs protesters, says the president is trying to turn Americans against one another.theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
🔥General MATTIS: “We are witnessing the consequences of three years of [Trump’s] deliberate effort [to divide us]… the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy”
"Never did I dream that troops taking that same oath would be ordered under any circumstance to violate the Constitutional rights of their fellow citizens—much less to provide a bizarre photo op for the elected commander-in-chief, with military leadership standing alongside.”

Alors, là... c'est du jamais vu.
Le général #Mattis, le plus prestigieux des conservateurs US, général des Marines vénéré dans les troupes, qui fut secrétaire à la Défense de #Trump durant 2 ans, le dénonce comme 1 menace à la nation et à la Constitution. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
2) Ecoutez, c'est juste dingue et je suis trop fatigué pour une analyse poussée. Mais lisez le texte du général #Mattis. Cet homme est un soldat d'élite, conservateur pur jus- tout sauf de gauche- et il traite #Trump qu'il a servi au Pentagone comme LE destructeur de la nation US
3) La philippique de #Mattis contre #Trump confirme au moins 1 chose écrite plus tôt: ça a bougé parmi les hauts gradés militaires- dont Mattis est 1"saint patron" après l'usage présidentiel de la force militaire contre des manifestants pacifiques lundi.👇

⚡️El secretario de Defensa @EsperDoD dice que no apoya invocar el Acta de Insurrección (1807).

(Eso tendría que hacer Trump para mandar al ejército a los estados).

Esper explica que esa opción es solo como último recurso, en situaciones desesperadas y EUA no está así.
⚡️EXTRA! Trump es un peligro para la constitución y está dividiéndonos, dice el 1er secretario de Defensa de Trump, el Gral. Jim Mattis.

Sus declaraciones llegan horas después de que su sucesor expresara desacuerdo con lo que quiere el presidente.
theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
#Mattis: Nunca imaginé que las tropas que juraron defender a la constitución recibirían órdenes de violar los derechos constitucionales de sus ciudadanos.

Estamos atestiguando las consecuencias de tres años de un esfuerzo deliberado del presidente para dividirnos.

We just filed #FOIA requests with @DeptofDefense for troop numbers in #Afghanistan #Iraq #Syria.

Administrations gave Americans this info for DECADES.

SecDef #Mattis committed to even more transparency.

Then poof: late 2017, DoD went dark.

2. Read what former Defense Secretary (and former Republican Senator) Chuck Hagel said about our FOIA request for US troop numbers:

A @MotherJones interview w/my client @GuySnodgrass about his book, officially published tomorrow, recounting his time as speechwriter & Director of Communications for Secretary of Defense #JamesMattis.

We had to sue @DeptofDefense to ensure publication

motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
@MotherJones @GuySnodgrass @DeptofDefense Disappointingly, Secretary #Mattis uses same tactics as President Trump to belittle my client as some "coffee boy", which is simply absurd, as well as hypocritical given he just published a book and gives public speeches about his own experiences.

cbsnews.com/news/jim-matti…
@MotherJones @GuySnodgrass @DeptofDefense Lawsuit against DoD was needed bc of unlawful attempt by Govt to censor @GuySnodgrass' #FirstAmendment rights. We were completely victorious but rest assured I will be suing @DeptofDefense again to extinguish their restrictive policies.

Thread: @arimelber asked me last night whether #TrumpShutDown was at all related to the pressure brought to bear by the #MuellerProbe. Let’s consider this more closely. It’s a distraction & attempt to show strength at a time that #Trump has been weakened.
First, #MuellerProbe will continue full steam ahead. It is funded and not impacted by #TrumpShutDown. The shutdown isn’t wise or good for anyone. So a shutdown only serves to help Trump if it makes him look strong and like a “winner” to his base. Wrong-headed But Trumpian logic.
Things to remember as we wake up to a partial #GovernmentShutdown: You will still get Medicare, Medicaid, SSI services. Dept of State, DOJ, DOT r among the agencies that will have to shut some activities. Homeland security won’t stop border enforcement, courts will operate.

1. #MAGA #Deplorables with @RandPaul @SenMikeLee can celebrate the Creature has surrendered to #ISIS. I'm sure they'll say #Mattis was a loser for not enjoying the head chopping and burning Christians alive. Be proud MAGA. You made the grade. Pure evil. @kathomas03 @theTexan65
2. Now that the border protection is shut down, the Creature's new pals will have free road in. Praise be to the Creature @realDonaldTrump. All bow to the 666 symbol. He has risen. @soniarivera858 @Marilyn2617 @Marilyn2617 @hogangidley45 @WhiteHouse
3. #MAGA is fun.

1) Today's story is called The Brink.

They never thought she'd lose, now we understand the #NWO plan to destroy America, see 1991 Bush I vid. Obama took over the process from Bush II and embarked on an 8 year wrecking ball. #QAnon #GreatAwakening @POTUS
2) For years rogue operatives have been getting installed. Shadow government/#DeepState. All centers of #Government. Controlled by the wealthiest on the planet, most rogue was the CIA. Goal was complete control to dismantle. Check Out Barry's Book: Post American World #QAnon
3) The systematic leaking of classified intel was everywhere, so was exposure of #military assets. Instead if de-funding military (bad optics), you starve thru corruption. Notice #Mattis has a massive audit of DOD? Think why.

🗝 (1) Speaking of #GITMO or officially #GTMO it would appear there are indeed crumbs, lots of them. Guess who visited there in July? Sessions and Rosenstein 😆 #Qanon
(2) In fact #Sessions thinks GITMO is a very fine place, with plenty of space and mentions we’ve spent a lot of money fixing it up. Who can argue with that?
(3) Do you know who else is a big fan? Who used to run the place? Who fell out with O because he wanted to close it? That would be #GeneralKelly #breadcrumbs

.@RealMikePompeo You should also understand that after 16 years in #Afghanistan, you haven't been able to eliminate the safe havens used against #Pakistan, we will also act if you don't. @CIA continues to fail to secure #America.

@RealMikePompeo @CIA Also, how long do you think you will stay Director of the @CIA when #POTUS @realDonaldTrump's administration is about to collapse because of lies and treason?

Maybe you should be concerned with your own failures.
