Fritz Walter's JournalGEN. Mattis for President?
As the GOTP leadership -- and I use that term very loosely -- grapple with the prospect of a convention squabble over Drumpf vs. Cruz-missile, a small but wealthy group of donors are trying to encourage a retired USMC general to step up.
The Daily Beast reports that these unnamed donors are trying to woo one GEN James Mattis, USMC (Ret.) to join the battle between the current Repuke candidates for the highest office in the USA.
So who is GEN. Mattis? A simple Google search on DU revealed the following post:

I'm not sure whether we should encourage this movement, in the interest of further fractioning and diluting the reich-wingers' effect in this campaign, rather than hoping for a more sober and rational opponent to go up against the Democratic candidate.
Should we risk the prospect of this particular career military officer assuming the role of Commander-in-Chief, with his finger on the button of our entire arsenal of weaponry?
Or should we just watch the GOTP circle the electoral drain for this election cycle?
If so, how do you like your popcorn? I like to sprinkle a little Tabasco sauce into the microwave bag, shake well and serve. But then someone told me that Old Bay seasoning works well, too.
Your thoughts, please?
Lighten up, and watch this!
Things have gotten so serious here on DU lately!
That's not necessarily a bad thing, but every now and then we could all use a good laugh, and this TED Talks video may be just the thing to at least put a smile on your face.
Just don't try this at home.
This is all we need: Tebow for Congress
After a ignominiously failed professional football career, Tim Tebow is now being groomed by Faux Noose as a potential politician. And rather than suggesting that he run for a local school board or city council position (baby steps), the bubble-headed, gushing cable-TV personality suggests that he actually run for Congress.
Yeah, he is something of a local celebrity -- making the rubber chicken circuit, visiting and promising to pray for sick children, and otherwise trying to find something useful to do with his life. But suggesting that he run for a seat in Congress?!? Are you fucking kidding me?
Can't you just see him at the Capitol, with biblical links inscribed under his eyes? Making the Tebow kneel when a favorite piece of legislation passes?
Has he truly exhausted all the other options for washed-up jocks, such as teaching/coaching at the high school or even college level, adding his commentary to sports coverage on local TV/radio stations. selling insurance, real estate or used cars?
Beam me up, Scotty. There's no intelligent life on this planet!
