We lost a good man , an understatement for sure, a four star general, a former United States General, medals given for honor it goes on, highly decorated general who we were so lucky to have especially after 9-11. With his quiet demeanor, dignity, poise, intelligence, he rose to the top , played an important part after 9-11 in helping to strategize the beginning of the war with Iraq. We lost a “good man” but more than that an example of a highly decorated general with such great humility, that always struck me , about Colin Powell what quiet dignity this man possessed , he will be sorely missed and go down in our future history books as “ a great man who possessed that quiet dignity” RIP General Colin Powell , may you rest easy, when God welcomed you He must have said “ Job well done”. My sympathies I offer the entire Powell family in their time of sorrow God Bless the family to gently “let go peacefully”.

I'm just glad I didn't join the military after High School mid 90s, other wise this war criminal would have sent me to war in 2001 under Bush's administration.

As many many others have already done. But when you are 84 and have cancer, that infection can do you in. Same as if he had a cold. But no one would say he died of a cold.

The secretary of state reportedly makes around $220K annually, as of 2021. In the 1990s, Powell retired from his position of four-star general in the military and began giving speeches at speaking engagements across the country. He reportedly earned around $64K per speech, and in 2000 it was reported he earned $7million from speeches alone.”

That's because Powell originally didn't wanted to attack Iraq. However, because of Cheney and Bush 43's evil ambitions, we ended up knowing the rest of the story!!!

[@matthew83890]

@Jackson Hughes Every Republican and every Democrat who takes money from cooperation is in the swamp. This includes Trump. This includes Biden. This includes every other person in D.C.

[@matthew83890]

@Jackson Hughes ??? How is Bernie Sanders the worst? Tf do you think is good politics? Running government like a business? Letting business interests run rampant? A Washington owned by billionaires? You’re no better than any CNN sheep. In fact, you’re worst. You’re SO close to getting it, but you instead choose to lick to boot of billionaires.

[@matthew83890]

@Jackson Hughes So your basic philosophy is pure "culture war" politics? That's it? It's that paper thin? Affirmative action? Open Borders? CRT? Do you even know what CRT is? No, because every single piece of political information you gain comes from some mass media organization like Fox or OAN. Critical Race Theory is taught in 0 primary, secondary, or high school class rooms. Critical Race Theory isn't taught in undergrad, and if you're in STEM you don't have to worry about it at all. CRT is taught in law school. I would know because I've been in school for the past 18 years of my life and am only JUST learning about CRT. Do you know why you believe BS like this? Because you're a sheep. No different from from any other liberal that watches CNN.

[@matthew83890]

@Jackson Hughes Do you know One American News? OAN? They're the pro-Trump news organization that just sprouted out. You know where OAN gets most of it's funding? ATT, which gives OAN 90 percent of it's funding. You know what other news organization ATT owns? CNN (Google it. This is real). So take a moment and ask yourself, why does liberal-loving, CNN-owning ATT own a media organization the spouts conservative propaganda? Because CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, CBS News, ABC News, OAN, etc, are all controlled by Billionaires with agendas. And each and every one of these billionaire with agendas want to stay powerful billionaires. So they use their platforms to divide the working and middle class with Culture War bs. That way, people like you will aim your anger at nonexistant problems rather than at our government/larger corperations. Everyone knows that corporations own our government. Everyone knows that the rich should be taxed. But it never happens because people are distracted by Russiagate, or CRT, or some other bs that they invented. You think Democrats are any different than Republicans? Because Democrats own 2 branches of government, and literally nothing that you've talked about has been implemented.

Whatever trump said today about Colin Powell....Will be known as a total waste of a compliment which was just another insult spewed by a former president, who has no idea about being a decent human being....

[@oscarin13]

Trump was justified in criticizing Powell because of the lies he presented to the U.N. in justification for the war in Iraq. However, it is clear he only made those comments because Powell was a comparatively liberal Republican that continuously criticized Trump If he had been a Trump supporter, he would've released an eulogy for Powell. Just like warmonger John Bolton, Trump was all for him until Bolton became critical of him.

A wonderful man! Fully vaccinated though..how does this Happen Mr. Fauci? And was cared for at the very best medical people in America. How does it happen Mr. Fauci that you insist we be fully vaccinated!!

[@FlorianWehde]

Did you really not see/read/hear basic information on Covid vaccinations in the last 18 months? Vaccinations provide a great level of protection - but no full protection, especially to those with pre-existing conditions and weak immune systems. So before blaming Fauci, do some basic research and stop the connotation that information that is widely available and proven is not true.
