How about not using the US military inside the USA?

The press is full of articles about it. You just have to read...

I read.  Can you explain where an unconstitutional use of military in the US was ordered by Trump?

You are amusing Tug and of course none of that will be supported by any facts from you.  Bankrupt many?  LOL.  That's what these rioters and looters are doing.  Yet in your leftwing koolaid addled mind it's Trumps fault.

Trump is the only recent president not to be invading other nations willy-nilly. The death tolls of some of these misadventures by "good" US presidents are in the millions and the chaos and power vacuums left causes many more. Yet Powell uses his voice to attack the President of peace. A president whos only crime is wanting to make America great again, bring back jobs, make the economy resilient. Says it all. Powell will never feel any responsibility for the death and destruction he caused.

‘Power vacuums’ you say.

 

And at last we agree on something.

 

The world’s dictators and viscous regimes have thrived in the power vacuums left by Trump.

IMO it's just anti Trump forces whipping up hysteria based on BS. I'm guessing, but I doubt R Reich has ever supported Trump.

The military swears to the constitution, not an ex president, which Trump becomes the instant the new POTUS takes over.

 

However, expect a lot more of the BS "Trump will refuse to leave the W H if he loses" media pieces as the election comes nearer. They've tried everything else to get rid of him and failed. IMO they may now be trying to whip up support for a coup against him when he wins.

Where’s your evidence of this coup you are rambling on about?

Every sitting president in recent history has trashed the constitution regularly. Executive orders are now used in places the original founders would have been apalled about. Wars have been waged and called "police actions" to get around the constitution. The constitution has become an annoyance to every sitting president. Don't even start about abrogation of first amendment rights under the guise of fighting terrorism. Trump is no different from any other president in that regard. He is just more vocal about tweeting his disrespect for it.

 

At some point it will become so bad the states will call for a new convention that will tear it up and start over. That is when the real scary part begins, because nobody knows what will come out of that. It hasn't reached that point yet. But it is ever present in America's future.

"Several Republican groups have formed to oppose Trump's reelection, including a super PAC, the Lincoln Project, and a new initiative called Republican Voters Against Trump, which last week kicked off a $10 million digital ad campaign."

 

Going to see lots of tweeting tantrums from Trump in the coming days, should be fun but do check the facts in case anything he says may be incorrect.

      You might want to change that to '...do check the facts in case anything he says may be correct.'

And again referring to Trump as 'but others are doing/did it as well'.

 

Trump is in a completely different class when it comes to everything: he is lying, he has a lack of morals, he has a lack of decency, he has no respect for others, etc.

He is a demagogue. That is his nature. It is merely one of degree. Psycopaths exists along the spectrum of humanity.

Whatever Colin Powell done wrong on Iraq, he got this right on Trump's disregard for the constitution and rule of law. His comment on the gutless GOP senators was spot on.

Powell took a giant leap away from the Constitution when he lied to justify the war in Iraq. 

True, for which Powell has expressed sorrow. Trump lies multiple times every day and attempts to navigate away from the Constitution regularly, enabled by his Cabinet, none of whom express remorse.

 

Powell would have known he will be attacked remorselessly by trump and his supporters - good on him for standing up.

I am non-political but it's a bit disloyal from the guy who lied about Iraq. I can understand him not voting Trump but why Dinosaur Biden?

Pity that a once respected General has decided to attack the POTUS. Nothing to stop him supporting Biden of course.

IMO Powell blew it when he told the UN a load of wrong information about WMD. He should have kept his silence, IMO.

Yeah, how dare Powell have an opinion, never mind express it. Doesn’t he know his place...

The usual tactic, attacking the messenger but never addressing the message.  Trump has been doing this for years and it gets old.  Powell speaks the truth, and so did Mattis, McRaven, Amash, McCain, Tillerson, Kelly....the list is long and distinguished.  But the hits will keep coming.  John Bolton expects to put out his book this month and it should be scathing.  Biden intends to roll out his “Republicans for Biden” coalition later in the campaign.  November will not be kind to khun Trump.

To be fair he had an 'opinion' on Iraq and look how that turned out. Many thousands perished because of HIM.

The poster I quoted criticised Powell for exercising his right to express his opinion. 
 

If being wrong was a reason not to do so trump would be completely silent.
