Joint Chiefs break precedent and go political

Our military is prohibited from being involved in political activities, but things are now so bad in the White House that the Joint Chiefs have felt compelled to stand up to Trump's suggestion of moral equivalency between racists and protesters.

Anyone want to take bets how the 'patriotic', 'military-loving' Righties here will respond to this unprecedented move?
I predict they will call the Chiefs traitors for standing up to their Commander and Chief. What do you think?

And for some reason, Pence is suddenly coming home from South America without any explanation.
That doesn't bode well....for any of us.

Trump was directly asked whether he was placing both sides on the same "moral plane" and he said no.

So this is DIRECTLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT TRUMP EXPLICITLY SAID.

Even Lindsey Graham got this 100 percent wrong.

Disagree with Trump if you want to, but don't lie about what he said.

Sure, it's the opposite of what Trump said on Monday (two days late) but he took it back on Tuesday.

Trump is blatantly two-faced about nearly everything he says.
It is dishonest to only listen to the shit you agree with and ignore the stuff you don't, johnny.

And it's REALLY stupid to ignore what the Joint Chiefs actually did and pretend they are simply traitors without reason.

It is just mundane virtue signal nonsense.

I've also tweeted out this morning: "I'm filled with virtue, so I oppose racism. Please congratulate me."

You really need help understanding subtext, johnny.

Trump is driving libtards insane (more so than they already are). Every day Trump sends out at least one Tweet that makes the libtard media circuit with libtards proclaiming, this Tweet will do him. The next day Trump doubles down with more Tweets that libtards are confident will do him in. The dude is Teflon.

The Joint Chief need to get to doing their jobs and pay attention to what is happening to
our armed services.....
A report released recently show there is an increase in accidents by 40% involving aircraft and navy vessels....
The reason given is that a lot of these aircraft and ships have not been replaced due to cutbacks
in the defense budget......Fact is Obama left the military smaller than when he started and with aging
equipment....
Trump promised to increase military spending...and we do need a strong military for our defense.. :)

Funny I dont see anyplace where Trump condoned racism. What I have seen is how the media and lib tards are in denial of him condemning both sides. Even Fox is getting in on this crap. Its slowly truing into a just another liberal hack outlet.

Ojackass never called out any group by name. No matter how much damage they did. Ojackass would ignore the rt and silently walk away while the left wing media loons cover it up for him.

Obama always made sure he was out of the country and then used a foreign podium
to voice his support for BLM and even Kaepernick...all of them a disgrace to this nation...

I support green grass, blue sky, and chickadees.

My tweet asserting that should make all admire me, much as they admire those generals and admirals for their banality.

Thanks to Clowntoker for admiring my virtue signals.

In other controversial topics, baby ducks are cute.

I favor peace and harmony in Charlottesville.
