    In a normal country full of serious and adult human beings, this would be the only story of the day today and would prompt a hell of a lot of worry from both political parties and every remotely informed or engaged American citizen.https://twitter.com/KenDilanianNBC/status/1437808866130108419 …

        We elected an honest to god comedian to the presidency and act more serious than this.

        Replying to @RadioFreeTom

        in a normal country, this story wouldn't be revealed in a new book, but instead in front of congress as it happened. Instead, the general talked to Woodward who, rather than reveal this to the nation, is letting it be bought in a new book. Sad for the guy who broke watergate.

        The part about it surfacing in a book just really hits home how lost our nation is.

        The one memorable instance of an “inside” guy that visibly spoke out using our usual whistleblower mechanics (== no book deal) was fired and drummed unceremoniously out of the military. He gets death threats to this day. It’s a harder choice than it should be.

        Maybe if it was a real concern he wouldn’t of waited for the book deal

        It wasn't his book deal.
