Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman retires, citing campaign of ‘bullying’ and ‘retaliation’ by Trump after i

Just the facts... and as you can see if you are still reading the thread, the anti-Trumps don't like the facts.

Will the person that wrote the line that liberals KNOW that 2 = 2 = 4. They just don't like it, please let me know who you are?

That line perfectly describes how they dance and parry and run away from facts when presented. There was someone just yesterday who responded to my thread on racism with a VIDEO that was 1 hour and 40 minutes long and said I didn't want to look at it. So, I DID view it while doing other things. (A great learning trick is to have bluetooth earphones and listen to Youtube and other things while you do stuff.)In any event, the video was a history of slavery, Jim Crow, blacks being arrested for more crimes, the prison system being punitive instead of rehabilitative, harsh drug sentences that affect blacks more. I found that NONE of the video had anything I consider racist because the system we have in place applies the same to whites and Hispanics and Asians, etc. While I agree that the prison system sucks and just hardens men and teaches them how to do MORE crime, that is NOT racism.

The point is, the poster KNEW 2 plus 2 equaled four but didn't like it, had NOTHING to prove that there was systemic racism and slapped up a 2 hour long video. Only ONE poster answered that racism was treating someone from another race inferior (which I think liberals do) but other than that....nothing.They KNEW 2 plus 2 equaled 4, and there is no systemic racism....they just didn't like it.
 
Your gleeful support of the mafia, criminality and corruption duly noted for the record.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled veneration of the blind idiot god twump.

Keep strawmanning, dude.

No, instead you elected one.

I didnt vote for Trump, so try again, cupcake.

PoS, LOOK! A spot opened on the tetherball pole at the other end of the playground!

For someone who claims not to be Trumpist, PoS sure does snap to attention whenever Trump needs to be defended or someone who revealed something bad about him attacked. Then again, we do each get to pick our own DP names . . .

Aww, Layne is upset again and throwing a tantrum, poor thing.

And what did Vindman snitch on concerning Trump? That Trump didn't follow the recommendations of US ambassadors to the Ukraine?:lamo

He made a biased claim that Trump was committing a crime.

And what would you know about the Military Code of Conduct?

Oh right, you watched Stallone in Rambo. Right?

What does the code have to do with him whining about being persecuted?

Your Dudley Do-Right impersonation, fails, as usual.
 
Who harassed and intimidated him?
 
How would I KNOW that? Vindman hasn't been mentioned in the news in 6 months........how do you KNOW that? Oh, because he said so?

Yeah, he said so and I believe it. I have no reason not to.
 
Let's compare Vindman to my Uncle who was killed in combat. My uncle took his squad to blow up a Bridge in South Korea and was later killed in combat in a rice paddy. Vindman is alive to commit crimes against the president.

Compared to you Vindman is audie Murphy. Lol

An Army officer who played a high-profile role in President Trump’s impeachment proceedings is retiring from the military over alleged “bullying” and “retaliation” by the president, his lawyer said Wednesday.

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who served as a national security aide at the White House until earlier this year and was up for promotion to colonel, will leave the military instead, his lawyer, David Pressman, said in a statement.
=========================================================
Up for promotion to colonel, Vindman was harassed & intimidated for his testimony in the Trump impeachment trial.

Sounds shadey to me. Why go out now? The democrats believe that Joe is the next President, why not wait a few months for that promotion. Or maybe Vindman is the link to the Bidens and Barisma. He's getting out now before Barr bring them all up for investigation and charges. Once outside the government he is harder to reach.

Harder to reach???

That's freaking hilarious
 
Has ranger tab

Wounded in combat but finished his tour anyway

Let's compare that to the toughest things you have ever done.


I'll wait. Lol

I rest my case. From my post #237 on this thread:

" He’s a good example of a useful idiot the left exploits. They aren’t used to republicans that fight back. The left are bullies and use people in the military ( which they despise), race, gender, etc to insulate them from any questions that would expose them for the useful idiots they are. If there’s a flaw in their scheme, and you point it out, then you’ll be accused of attacking a “ war hero”. They keep the pressure on by lying, misrepresenting the persons position, etc. They will continue to attack, and we must fight them back at every turn. It’s exhausting, but they must be exposed for the Marxist fanatics they are. "

Idiot? The guy is a hero.

Remember that time you got wounded in combat.....oh....wait
 
I'll ignore your slur of a patriot because it is meaningless coming from any PutinTrump Rower.

As to Vindman's return, which is possible to likely to be offered next year, it would be up to him and I don't see any reason why he'd walk away from it. This is unlike Capt. Crozier who got so maliciously bagged by Trump's Big Navy a return by him to a position of command is nigh impossible.

Vindman constitutes a strategic message to Putin and globally. He was born in Ukraine, migrated to NYC, has a master's from Harvard in Russian and Eurasian Studies, is on track for a master's from an advanced college of DoD, was assigned by the Army chief of staff to be Russia adviser to the chairman of JCS; the chairman detailed Vindman to the WH NSC for Russia-Ukraine-Eurasia after which he was approved for bird colonel.

Vindman had earlier been assigned as attache' to the US embassy in Russia and then in Ukraine. There's a lot going on here with the national security to include global security that may be unique to Vindman, or is at the least his distinguishing expert specialty.

Plus additionally Biden seems to have taken a special interest in this to screw PutinTrump & Their Rowers straight up their backside for their grotesque misconduct against the United States to include pardoning war criminals and for their foul mouths toward the wounded war hero Vindman.

Vindmann got his purple heart from a paper cut? Like John Kerry got the 4 requisite purple hearts from 4 separate incidents of scratches and bruises, which gave him a one way ticket out of Vietnam.
 
He used legal whistleblowing channels to act as a whistleblower.

He is an idiot is he did not get paid big bucks for rebelling against his commander in chief for the democrat party.
 
Re: Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman retires, citing campaign of ‘bullying’ and ‘retaliation’ by T

Because that's what he was. He had reason to believe he witnessed illegal actions. Under federal law, he is allowed to whistleblow that information and is not required to use the chain to command to do so.

He did witness illegal actions. He witnessed leftists in the State Department undermining the President of the United States against their sworn duties.
 
There won't be any book.

Vindman took one for the Pentagon team by voluntarily resigning without prejudice against him. I have no doubt Trump wanted bad and rotten things to happen to Vindman on an essentially involuntary resignation but Trump did not get that.

Vindman resigned voluntarily to avert and preclude a blowup between Pentagon vs Trump in the matter. Pentagon has bigger matters before it than Vindman at this time and circumstance. There's the election, the inauguration and the hiatus in between 'em Pentagon needs absolutely to be ready for.

Indeed a Soldier such as LTC Vindman sacrificing himself for the mission is part of what we signed up for should that become necessary. We over here can be assured the entire armed forces and political leadership know Vindman took the wise and prudent course of action and that his courage will be recognized and his career resumed in the due course of events, ie, before long.

In short, there's no Vindman book in this nor does there need to be a book.

Vindmann took one for the democrat team. They speak highly of him for his subversion, violation of his oath of office and disrespect for his Commander in Chief in violation of the US Military Code of Justice.
 
Re: Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman retires, citing campaign of ‘bullying’ and ‘retaliation’ by T

The WB's identity was never made public and Vindman said he wasn't the WB, nor did he know the WB, under oath. Are you saying he lied?

He definitely lied but I'm not sure how much he really understood about what he was doing or what was really going on. He blindly followed orders from the Obama holdovers at the State Department who were working feverishly to keep Trump Justice Department officials from looking into the sordid Ukraine/American corruption which involved more than the Bidens. Hundreds of millions of dollars changed hands as the US funneled that money through American officials to corrupt Ukrainians in shady deals.
 
In the Pentagon approved Military Times Syracuse U Veterans Center survey of active duty members across the armed forces Trump has lost 13 favorable points off his standing in November 2016. This is from the annual survey published in December.

Half (50%) said they have an unfavorable view of Trump's performance as their Potus/C'nC. Only 41% said favorable. Trump's negative trend line of the past three years would take him into Obama's unfavorable territory by election day if Trump's not there already.

Trump had a miserable 31% favorable rating with the officer corps across the services.

Trump's lowest favorable ratings were by Air Force personnel and Army members (mid-30s) while his highest favorable rating (64%) was with the Marines. Navy personnel were middling overall toward Trump with officers viewing him most unfavorably also.


In 2016 Trump won the active duty personnel vote 2-1 against HRC. In November 2016 Trump had 47% favorable in the MT-Syracuse survey and only a 37% unfavorable.

In 2018 however the Republican candidates won only 58% of the active duty vote. It's more than reasonable to say Trump is unlikely to get 58% this time around and that will hurt him in Florida and Ohio especially and in NC too. The way things are going for Trump he can't afford to lose many votes in GA and TX either.

The bottom line is that with active duty personnel surveyed Trump has gone underwater from November 2016 to December last year. You can have no doubt the trend continues to this moment.

Pollsters have a wide latitude when concocting numbers for political purposes. It does not matter how many devils hate a good man, the devils don't count when it comes to standing for what is right.
 
No, she is standing up for a brave american soldier who did his duty and using the only tool she has to pressure the Commander in Chief to answer for this travesty of political meddling in the military.

But I do admit your opinion of this extraordinary woman is repulsive.

Of course one traitor will support another if they are both on the same team and opposing the same laws, traditions, views, values and standards.
 
Your gleeful support of the mafia, criminality and corruption duly noted for the record.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled veneration of the blind idiot god twump.

Don't throw Trump out yet. He may be America's last hope of avoiding future slavery to uncivilized despots currently being supported by rioters, thieves, arsonists, anarchists, murderers, and insurrectionists.

traitor. you throw that word around like you are a confederate and don't have a friggin' clue what patriotism actually is.
