Donald Trump has this terrible habit of hiring people who hate him, firing them when he becomes tired of being hated, then watching these people go on tours attacking him with virulent hatred.

Maddog Mattis doing this is kind of funny though because he’s an out of touch elderly homosexual.

The Hill:

Former Defense secretary James Mattis responded to the President Trump calling him “the world’s most overrated general” during a meeting with Congressional leaders Wednesday. 

At the Al Smith Memorial Foundation dinner on Thursday, Mattis opened his speech with a caustic blow about his deferment from the military during the Vietnam War.

“I earned my spurs on the battlefield; Donald Trump earned his spurs from the doctor” he said.

I think he’s talking about an STD, though I’m not sure.

The general continued on with more Trump references, stating, “I’m not just an overrated general. I’m the greatest, the world’s most overrated,” Mattis was the keynote speaker at the 74th annual event.

“I’m honored to be considered that by Donald Trump because he also called Meryl Streep an overrated actress. So I guess I’m the Meryl Streep of generals, and frankly that sounds pretty good to me,” Mattis continued.

Only a completely out of touch homosexual of his age would make such a joke.

Trump has called so many people “overrated,” that he has a litany of funnier and more self-aware jokes he could have made.

A younger homosexual – and maybe even a self-aware heterosexual – would have maybe called himself “the Miley Cyrus of Generals.”

But Mattis didn’t stop there with his jabs at the president.

“And you do have to admit that between me and Meryl, at least we’ve had some victories,” he joked.

And that followup would have worked 100x better with Miley as the joke.

Really, a poor showing by the fruitcake Mattis.

It goes without saying that if he really was this “above it all” apolitical military genius, he wouldn’t be going on a “orange man hurt my feelings” tour anyway.

You’d think at his age maybe he’d be thinking “perhaps I’d prefer if my personal legacy was a little less petty and gay.”

But no.

Even a 70-year-old faggot is still a QUEEN.

But again: if he’d been a little more self-aware, he could have given this speech in drag, and even I would have been like “L-O-L.”

You’d think one of his young twinks could have said “uh, Maddog baby, we need to spice this up a bit, em-kay?”

I mean, imagine this picture of him standing next to Chuck Schumer if he was in full Rupaul regalia:

But no.

Not even this gay shit can ever be funny.

Israel’s Minister of Defense Avigdor Lieberman and U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis

We now have absolutely all the proof we need that Assad has chemical weapons: a guy saying it while standing next to God’s chosen people.

Washington Post:

The Syrian government has retained an unspecified amount of chemical weapons and dispersed its aircraft following a U.S. cruise missile attack earlier this month, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis said Friday.

Mattis spoke alongside his Israeli counterpart, Avigdor Lieberman, as part of a tour of the Middle East, and addressed reports that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad still had a significant amount of chemical weapons.

Speaking beside an Israeli, hm.

Strange cohencidence.

“There can be no doubt in the international community’s mind that Syria has retained chemical weapons in violation of its agreement and its statement that it had removed them all. There is no longer any doubt,” he told reporters.

Mattis did not provide any evidence to back up his claim.

He’s following Buzzfeed date rape rules – “no evidence means no problem.”

The Buzzfeed rape law set a precedent that anyone can be convicted of anything without any evidence necessary. All you have to do is say something, then it becomes a fact.

Pretty bad though when WaPo is noting that you don’t have any evidence for a defamatory claim against an enemy of Jews.

On April 7, the U.S. launched dozens of cruise missiles at Shayrat airbase in Syria in response to a chemical weapon attack on Idlib province that happened three days earlier and killed nearly 100 people including 30 children.

No evidence.

U.S. officials said the Syrian aircraft that conducted the attack took off from Shayrat airfield.

No evidence again.

An unnamed Israeli military officer told reporters Wednesday that Assad still had a “few tons” of chemical weapons despite his pledge to destroy them under a 2013 agreement. It is unclear if the Israeli officer was talking about sarin gas — the same type reportedly used in the April 4 attack — or chlorine gas. Assad has regularly used chlorine during the five year old war.

Sarin was last used in Syria in 2013. The attack killed hundreds and nearly saw the U.S. launch strikes on Syrian military facilities. A last minute deal, brokered in part by Russia in October 2013, instead made Syria pledge to destroy its chemical weapon stockpiles and sign the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons’ ban to ensure that the weapons were not used in the future.

The US was an observer of this.

But I dunno, I guess just blame that nigger Obama.

Like Obama blamed Bush.

And Bush blamed Clinton.

Democracy: the buck stops as soon as you can trace it back to someone who’s already dead.

The same group confirmed that sarin — a prohibited substance under the ban — was used in the April 4 attack.

“The bottom line is, I can say authoritatively they have retained some [chemical weapons]. It’s a violation of the United Nations Security Council resolutions, and it’s going to have to be taken up diplomatically,” Mattis said.

What is going to be taken up?

All he is saying is “I know because I said it.”

There’s not really any room for discussion there.

Mattis argument summary:

As we sit on the edge of potential disaster with this Syria situation, we’re suffering from something of a lack of information. We have to speculate and extrapolate based on limited knowledge of what’s going on.

So in this sense, it’s valuable to analyze the Department of Defense’s latest press conference (as of April 11th), which can potentially give us some insights as to what’s going on in the White House.

General Mattis seems intent, throughout the conference, in emphasizing that the strike on the air base was not in any way a change in policy for the Trump administration. He repeats over and over that it’s an isolated incident completely unrelated to the broader strategy in the Syrian conflict.

He also repeated that the goal of the United States was the defeat of ISIS, and not a regime change in Syria. That’s in stark contrast to all the neocon rhetoric we’ve been hearing in the past few days coming from the likes of McMaster and Randhawa, and it’s definitely a good sign.

The questions he received are also interesting, both for seeing what kind of agenda the media is trying to push, and what the administration’s current stated positions are (or, at least what his perception of the administration’s current positions are – we’re seeing a lot of different positions here).

When asked about the possibility that Russia was complicit in the “gas baby” nonsense, he refused to throw around any accusations. That’s also a good sign. Obviously, the bloodthirsty kikes are strongly pushing for war against Russia, and so have repeated the notion that Russia must also be “punished” for the gassings.

Unexpectedly, someone asked Mattis why a gas attack warranted a military response while regular bombs didn’t. He basically said “muh international law,” which is obviously a cop-out, since no one one cares about that – especially not America, or Trump for that matter. The 59 Tomahawk missile strike was itself a violation of international law.

It’s well known that only Jews worry about gassings.

But the question indicates a new weird media narrative, in which they recognize that dead people don’t care if they died of bombings or gassings, yet use the supposed difference between the two to push for absurd radical action. Now that the foot is in the door on attacking Syria, they’re arguing that in fact they aren’t any different, and any time the Syria government kills anyone they should be attacked. This is so stupid that it’s hard to even formulate a answer to it. By this logic, police officers are also war criminals for shooting violent perps.

“The US must use military force against all states that crack down on terrorists” is not a coherent, defensible narrative.

What was also interesting is that a journalist asked pointed questions about the overall situation and it’s potential for “spiraling out of control.” The journalist specifically mentioned the risk of nuclear war with Russia.

Uh, let’s take it easy here, guys, okay?

Mattis said that there was no chance of this happening because they kept steady communications with the Russian military and that everything was under control.

The overall message Mattis was trying to push during the conference was that everything is fine, that there was no change in policies over anything and that the Syrian missile strike was just some small warning that was completely isolated from everything else.

Of course, it’s very difficult to take that at face value, because the rationale for the strike is completely ridiculous, and no one with a few functioning neurons takes it seriously.

But it’s still a good thing that they’re pushing this message, since it means that the administration isn’t looking to escalate things further – for now.
