Four-star General Barry McCaffrey tweet on VP Pence, etc

[left-of-center2012]

Vice President Mike Pence got a severe scolding from retired four-star General Barry McCaffrey on Saturday morning for his fawning praise of Donald Trump during a Rose Garden press conference to address the coronavirus pandemic.

Taking to Twitter, the former cabinet official who served under President Bill Clinton lashed out the whole Trump administration for undermining U.S. national security with the handling of the health crisis while targetting Pence by name.

On Twitter, he wrote, “The Public Health Care system at Federal and State level has atrophied in the past thirty years. It is a crucial leg of US national security. It will take 5 years to reimagine and resource an appropriate capability. Corona virus is just the latest disaster.”

1. Pence is the vice-brown noser

it's fucking disgusting

[DENVERPOPS]

5. Lick, lick

Trump's cabinet and minions didn't get their round mouths from sucking popsicles or bananas.

7. First cabinet meeting televised? Remember that?

They went around the table and each member fawned over Trump and expressed their gratitude for being privileged to serve him. Bizarre! This was even stranger: praises for the very same inept reasons he'd been blasted over the day before.

[DENVERPOPS]

14. The video

of that circle jerk Trump idolatry made me lose my cookies. It was like that Richard Gere part of Pretty Woman when Gere tells the store manager that he required major sucking up.......

Is that first cabinet meeting on You Tube???????

[maddiemom]

20. Yes. Just look it up as such.

15. Actually it's good and bad

because his political career is over after this incompetent, ass-licking fiasco

2. republicans have always been fine with killing the old,

disabled and poor. Covid-19 is their perfect storm to that end. Look at their facial expressions and actions. They are going to make big bank off killing people and they are thrilled. They can barely hide their enthusiasm.

6. Is that from my favorite book:

ANIMAL FARM........Trump must read it every night

[2naSalit]

8. It is.

I saw this version of it long before I read the book. I think I was maybe seven when I saw it and I never forgot.

[DENVERPOPS]

13. I still have my

un-illustrated copy from 1963.........Animal Farm more closely aligns with Trump/Republicans than 1984....

17. I still have mine too.

The only way I picture it is with images from the movie that image is from.
