Subject: adopt a terrorist !--1g.,b5

Our new Secretary of Defense has a dead-on sense of humour.

"Adopt A Terrorist" -This is BRILLIANT! Makes sense to me.....

I CAN'T IMAGINE ANYONE IN THE PRESIDENT'S CABINET COMPOSING SUCH A BRILLIANT RESPONSE!

Adopt a Terrorist. Too Good to Miss. TRUMP'S Cabinet Members know how to handle complaints. Here is an example:

A liberal female from San Francisco wrote a lot of letters to the U.S. government, complaining about the poor treatment of captive insurgents (terrorists) being held in GITMO.

She demanded a response to her letter. She received back the following reply:

SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
HONORABLE JAMES "MAD DOG" MATTIS
PENTAGON
WASHINGTON, DC
Dear Concerned Citizen,

Thank you for your recent letter expressing your profound concern of treatment of the Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorists captured by American Forces, who were subsequently transferred to the GITMO.

Our administration takes these matters seriously and your opinions were heard loud and clear here at the Pentagon. You will be pleased to learn, thanks to the concerns of citizens like yourself, we are creating a new department here at the Defense Department to be called 'Liberals Accept Responsibility for Killers' program, or L.A.R.K. for short.

In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we have decided, on a trial basis, to divert several terrorists and place them in homes of concerned citizens such as yourself, around the country, under those citizens personal care. Your personal detainee has been selected and is scheduled for transportation under heavily armed guard to your residence in San Francisco next Monday.

Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud is your detainee, and is to be cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your letter of complaint. You will be pleased to know that we will conduct weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of care for Ahmed are commensurate with your recommendations.
Although Ahmed is a sociopath and extremely violent, we hope that your sensitivity to what you described as his 'attitudinal problem' will help him overcome those character flaws. Perhaps you are correct in describing these problems as mere cultural differences. We understand that you plan to offer counselling and home schooling, however, we strongly recommend that you hire some assistant caretakers.
Please advise any Jewish friends, neighbors or relatives about your house guest, as he might get agitated or even violent, but we are sure you can reason with him. He is also expert at making a wide variety of explosive devices from common household products, so you may wish to keep those items locked up, unless in your opinion, this might offend him.

Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat and can extinguish human life with such simple items as a pencil or nail clippers. We advise that you do not ask him to demonstrate these skills either in your home or wherever you choose to take him while helping him adjust to life in our country.

Ahmed will not wish to interact with you or your daughters except sexually, since he views females as a form of property, thereby having no rights, including refusal of his sexual demands. This is a particularly sensitive subject for him.

You also should know that he has shown violent tendencies around women who fail to comply with the dress code that he will recommend as more appropriate attire. I'm sure you will come to enjoy the anonymity offered by the burka over time. Just remember that it is all part of respecting his culture and religious beliefs as described in your letter.

You take good care of Ahmed and remember that we will try to have a counsellor available to help you over any difficulties you encounter while Ahmed is adjusting to American culture.

Thanks again for your concern. We truly appreciate it when folks like you keep us informed of the proper way to do our job and care for our fellow man. Good luck and God bless you.

Cordially,
"Mad Dog" Mattis
Secretary of Defense

In that show, the good guys were "control" and the bad guys were "chaos". Well, in the first 100 days of the Trump administration, we have plenty of chaos, but no control. We had Mattis saying one thing one week. then saying something else a week later. Then, after Trumps and Mattis comments about NATO, we have Pence rushing to reassure NATO that we WILL be faithful to our commitments. So, will we or won't we? Trumps says "maybe not", DoD says "maybe not", but the VP says "we will" and tries to convince NATO members that Trump didn't mean what he said. I thought Trump said what he meant and meant what he said? Maybe not, at least, that's the stance the VP and the GOP intend to take.

Pence is doing the Presidents job, while Trump plays with crowds, then plays golf on another luxury weekend getaway from the pressures of the um, whatever he calls the Whitehouse in DC. This is the 3rd such getaway in the 1st month. With few exceptions, the GOP is just fine with this lunacy. Trump spends more time trying to prove he did some stuff, than he did doing some stuff - now, he's campaigning again. We have wall street running the economy - after Trump raked Clinton over the coals for her close ties to - wall street. We have political hacks running other departments. An Attorney to run the EPA? What does he know about science? What does he care? These are NOT political entities, nor SHOULD they be. Let the science do the talking - and the politicians listen for a change. That's how you get control of the chaos.

Trump makes his staff sign loyalty oaths? WTF!! What kind of crap is this? That's the bullshit dictators do. Chaos is Trumps MO, between his staff ( the few he has ), the media, the Congress, the American people and the rest of the world. When are we going to get tired of Trump throwing grenades everywhere, having fun - and expecting everyone else to pick up the pieces and keep the whole world from blowing up? Now, we even have Ran Paul becoming a Trumpite, defending his lunacy as though it is some policy miracle. I guess everything he has said before was a lie - or - he's lying now. Who the hell knows? More chaos in the GOP.

The GOP gleefully let's Trump play President while they pursue their agenda, the chaos works for them, distracting from what they're doing. The good news is; sooner or later, what they do will be known, which is already happening. Why would GOP Congress members be hiding from their constituents? Why avoid town halls? The chaos within the GOP will not solve itself, and Trump sure won't help them. All the dems need to do, is sit back and watch the GOP shake itself to pieces. That would be bad for the country, not because I think the GOP is God's gift to America ( it isn't ), but because it will not force the democrats to get THIER heads out of their asses.

We may as well get used to chaos - because there's no sign of any control in our future.

Most people, whether Republican or Democrat at least agree that this past election has been unusual to say the least. Filled with the elements of intrigue normally found in a Tom Clancy movie ('Clear and Present Danger' - Hunt for Red October), false accusations, tales of corruption, etc., -there is still a question I have not seen any news on: "Why isn't the EC being investigated?" The EC is charged with 2 main tenets in the Constitution in regards to the presidential election: 1) to affirm the winner of the popular vote, and 2) to appoint the best qualified candidate by means of education, experience, and character. With that being said, "why did the majority of the EC appoint Trump?" He lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million, (of course if we believed his 3-5 million illegal voters that number could be much higher), has never held public office, dropped out of college, 6 bankruptcies, a confirmed adulterer, womanizer, fraud, tax evader, chronic liar, narcissist, racist, misogynist, and accused sexual predator among other accusations. All of this begs the question: "was the EC bribed or blackmailed into appointing Trump?" I find it very difficult to pass on that thought.
