Colin Powell Shows Lack Of Courage By Not Coming Full Out For Hillary & Against Trump/GOP.

[TheMastersNemesis]

If Powell really does believe what he says about Trump he really has an obligation to come out full bore against the GOP and Trump. The fact that he wants to supposedly stay out of the fray says a lot about his priorities. I guess he does not want o alienate his GOP friends.

Sometimes your legacy is less important than the health of a nation. Trump is a clear and present danger to all the USA is about and he and his supporters should be thrashed and punished severely. Their way is evil and corrupt and should NOT be tolerated and the press and media should be vilified for its collusion. They are also traitors to the nation by not burying this guy forth with.

Trump should lose big and his followers should be ashamed to show their ugly faces. They are enemies and no better than the terrorists because they will bring this country down just like the terrorists.

1. He will....But in October..that is my opinion..

We will see..more impact in October.....But...I could be wrong...not the first time, and not the last..

[BSdetect]

2. When will he ever be public in his thoughts?

He's one of many who have enabled Trump by their silence.

Birtherism flourished because of Powell and others failing to speak up.

He has no credibility with me. Lied to the UN when he must have known the spin about WMDs.

[gopiscrap]

3. plus the Mi Lai massacre

he's nothing but a war criminal who got away with it

[Fast Walker 52]

8. the media fucking loves every GOP war criminal. IOKIYAR.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

4. How Colin Powell is still considered respectable kills me

I love how Collin Powell, who straight up lied to the UN about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, is blamed less for the Iraq war and considered more trustworthy than Hillary Clinton. Also he left the job of Secretary of state without handing over a single email, all of which were from a private email account. Pays to have a penis.

5. "his supporters should be thrashed and punished severely"

Tell me, TheMastersNemesis, under which law and by what authority would we thrash and punish severely a SUPPORTER of Trump?

Love to know.

[NaturalHigh]

6. Don't count on an answer.

[Dreamer Tatum]

9. I'll wait for one, anyway. nt

[name not needed]

14. Why do I get the feeling

said poster would lose their shit if we sent troops back to Iraq, but you wouldn't hear a peep about the military being used to squash dissent here...

[alcibiades_mystery]

7. Maybe he was about to, which is why the Russians released these emails now

[frustrated_lefty]

10. His failure to take a stand is probably explained by this

[TipTok]

11. That'll do it...

Wow...

[m-lekktor]

12. Yeah I saw this on the Daily Beast!

He really isn't fan of either Trump or Secretary Clinton apparently

16. holy shite! Screw you Colon Powell.

[tblue37]

18. ". . . a friend I respect"??? Where is the friendliness and the respect in his description of her

as having "unbridled ambition" and being "greedy, not transformational"?

That sounds pretty unfriendly and disrespectful!

With friends like that. . . .

[ribrepin]

24. I think that "friendship" is over

[Skittles]

21. that is a sickening comment

he can fuck himself

[Dorian Gray]

25. I couldn't

believe that when I read it.

Mainstream media can't print that stuff. I read it on Barstool Sports yesterday.

[arthritisR_US]

13. He proved his lack of courage with all of his lies before

the UN Security Council.

[calendargirl]

15. Who will hand down your suggested punishment?

The cops? The military? Are YOU going to foot the bill to round up and lock up or lash every Trump supporter?

[UTUSN]

17. 'tis has always been so with ColOn, career of doing the bidding of

Old, White men.

[Skittles]

19. male body parts are not need for courage

and BALLS are *THE* most delicate body parts, by the way

[Skittles]

20. he's trying to maintain his repuke creds

he makes me sick

[Philly-Union-Man]

22. He doesn't particularly like her either.

He rips everyone in his emails. The Clintons, the Cheneys, Trump, congressional Republicans. They are quite interesting.

[ecstatic]

23. His email to Fareed Z (CNN) gives the reason

for him not coming out against Trump. He blames the media for the rise of trump and believes that discussing trump in any context (good or bad) only helps trump.

"It is time to start ignoring him. You guys are playing his game, you are his oxygen," he wrote to CNN's Fareed Zakaria in December. "He outraged us again today with his comments on Paris no-go for police districts. I will watch and pick the timing, not respond to the latest outrage."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/09/14/here-are-the-juiciest-colin-powell-comments-about-trump-and-clinton-from-his-leaked-emails/

As far as not endorsing Clinton (yet), his emails pretty much explain that as well.

Now that everything is public, an official endorsement would be a distraction because the media would bring up what he said about her. All we can hope for now is a scathing rebuke of trump.

[Dorian Gray]

26. I think he hates Trump

more than he disrespect Hillary.

You are right that he was scathing toward all parties involved, though I do believe he has more respect for Hillary and her experience than he does for clownish Trump.
