he lost me in the first paragraph .."We must not be distracted by a small number of lawbreakers."

maybe he can tell that to David Dorn's ten grandkids.....hopefully Mattis doesn't have a family member that is injured, killed or that has their livelihood destroyed by the "distraction" of the "small number of lawbreakers"....maybe he doesn't watch the news....lotta people in these communities that view it as more than a "distraction"

Typical high sounding political pablum. Push came to shove, they all used force, against other races, against other ideologies, against others period. I like your rhetorical trick of using the mellifluous high tone to "illuminate" their speeches for us.

A fifth U.S. president spoke instead this week about using military force to dominate Americans who are protesting racial injustice.

Another commonplace rhetorical trick of raising rioters, hooligans, thugs, to admirable "protesters of racial injustice." This is too blatant for any rational person to swallow. You know damned well that Trump wasn't referring to peaceful protesters. I would like to say this kind of cheap fakery is beneath you, but it isn't.

He declared winners and losers among state and city officials trying to safeguard their streets. And, with his reelection campaign in mind, he sought to apply a partisan political lens to the national reckoning over racial inequities.
God, you end with this thick, vague, contorted attempt at saying something that sounds bad for Trump.

But you did successfully tone down the rhetoric from the lofty heights when speaking of the other four contra-Trump Presidents to a more lowly, commonplace, somewhat antagonistic and confused diction befitting your opinion of Trump.

Congratulations on that, but more clarity and specificity would help the reader, though, on the other hand, vagueness, generalization, lack of rigorous candor, makes it easier to make orange man bad.

It’s always easy to expose a malignant narcissistic sociopath.
I find it fitting that Tweety is now being guarded by Bureau of Prisons guards.

Trump is not malignant or a sociopath. That was easy. I like it.

James Mattis just made it a lot easier for many, many other respected defense officials and Republican lawmakers to criticize the president.

Mattis is still holding back, though. He's privately told friends that Trump's behavior is far worse than the reports & that the republic is on shaky footing. He knows so much more than he's currently divulging.

On an unrelated note, Bill Weld ended his (extremely) long-shot primary challenge to Trump in March.

On Tues, Weld won more than 20 percent of the GOP primary vote in several of Maryland's most populous countries.

A lot easier for many . . . still holding back . . . an unrelated note.

Verryyy interesting. You have an entertaining gossip column. Would do well in the NYT.
