The Guardian/Reuters: Colin Powell endorses Joe Biden for US president
Ex-secretary of state and military leader during Bush presidencies becomes first major Republican to back Trump’s Democratic rival
Colin Powell endorsed Democratic former US vice-president Joe Biden on Sunday, becoming the first major Republican to publicly back Donald Trump’s rival ahead of November’s election.
Powell, who led the US military during the 1991 Gulf War in Iraq under Republican former President George HW Bush and later led the Department of State under President George W Bush, said Trump has “drifted away” from the US Constitution and posed a danger to the country and its democracy.
“I cannot in any way support President Trump this year,” Powell, who did not vote for the Republican president in 2016, told CNN. Asked if he would vote for Biden, he added: “I will be voting for him.”
Trump, who has been critical of the Iraq war, in a tweet called Powell “a real stiff”.

WNU Editor: He was critical of President Trump when he was running in 2016, so this endorsement of Biden should not really be a surprise. But he is the first major Republican to publicly back Donald Trump’s rival ahead of November’s election unlike these two .... Former President Bush And Senator Romney Will Not Support President Trump For Re-Election (June 6, 2020).
Update: President Trump has responded .... Donald Trump calls Colin Powell 'an overrated stiff' for joining other top Republicans George W. Bush and Mitt Romney in refusing to support his re-election bid - before warning fellow 'stiff, Sleepy Joe' would 'defund the police AND military' (Daily Mail).
Somebody please tell highly overrated Colin Powell that I will have gotten almost 300 Federal Judges approved (a record), Two Great Supreme Court Justices, rebuilt our once depleted Military, Choice for Vets, Biggest Ever Tax & Regulation Cuts, Saved Healthcare & 2A, & much more!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 7, 2020
Colin Powell, a real stiff who was very responsible for getting us into the disastrous Middle East Wars, just announced he will be voting for another stiff, Sleepy Joe Biden. Didn’t Powell say that Iraq had “weapons of mass destruction?” They didn’t, but off we went to WAR!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 7, 2020

What Trump said. All this phony fretting over the Constitution. It’s beginning to become a pattern. It’s amazing to me how Trump has the ability to affect every aspect of the lives of some people.
/Trump derangement syndrome is the latest pandemic. Seems to be affecting virtually every soft-minded RINO and Leftist in the US.
Was respected once, he was. Consensus now, he's a stooge.
Trump has always been unpopular among the establishment in Washington, including senior intelligence and military personnel. The establishment thinks this will hurt him because his base is pro-military, but it won't.

That really sucked for you didn't it.
(keep on suckin' it)
This is not a surprise.
Colin Powell outed himself as a racist in 2008, when he came out for Obama. He is not racists for supporting Obama, but the reasons he gave.
Colin Powell is so racist that he went with the first African-American who had a chance to win no matter how bad he was, than to run himself under the Party of Lincoln.
People wanted Powell to run, but he demurred, because he is a pussy.
AWe are governed by a bicameral cngress for the same reason we have an electoral colelge. We do not want 2 or 3 states or 2 regions to call the shots for everyone.
Plus there is massive voter fraud. The Democrats never conduct a comprehensive survey.
Derek Chauvin apparently conducted voter fraud in Florida. The so called attourney was furious. Sure that hack mother fucker was. He looked up one, He did not take a representative sample of registered voters and look. Just one and his curiosity was over.
I bet a lot of snowbirds engage voter fraud.
Pro Tip: All snowbirds are not registered Republican.
I leave you with this thought. You are a dishonest moron.
Love that second tweet from DJT. Direct hit. And speaking of drifting away from the Constitution, LOL, that's what Libtards and RINOs have been doing for the last 50 years. The most aggregious example might be the "Patriot" Act. Another globalist has outed himself, though we already knew it.
