'Mad Dog' Mattis Gets Put Down
[NOQReport via WhatFinger - yes, I go dumpster diving so you don't have to] Former Marine Corps Judge Advocate and State Department attorney John Dowd wasn’t happy with recent remarks by General Jim "Mad Dog" Mattis regarding President Trump’s handling of the riots. The former Secretary of Defense went public with his displeasure towards the President, echoing Democratic talking points while embracing the leftist mentality of supporting protesters and defying law enforcement.

Dowd sent a letter to Mattis. He apparently copied President Trump, who subsequently posted the blistering letter on Twitter (transcript below):

#1 Ouch. Wow. John Dowd bores in. I was a big supporter of Mattis in earlier times. Thought he would be good as Secretary of Defense. Disappointed that he has decided to attack POTUS and support the street thugs, rioters, looters and criminal element along with the rest of the corrupt Dem Party. Apparently, he supports the coup and planned insurrection to take down the President that has been relentless and ongoing.

#2 "Mutt" Mattis may be hedging his bets on a return should the Dems win in November.

#4 OK, Mattis was a bad choice by Trump right out the gate. He is a well respected warrior general. He never married, spent his whole life dedicated to the art of war. Meaning he was single focused in war, no life balance. He steps into the political world and know as much about running a nation as my pet dog does. He is way out of his swim lane and out of line. A great General, a terrible statesman.

#5 Note to Mattis - Eisenhower won his war, McClellan did not.

#7 "Looks like the Persian mullahs were a one horse sleigh and Trump nailed the horse… forever. It has been quiet ever since. "

Is it? You think they gave up on the bomb? Seriously?
