This shit is truly giving me a headache. The President of the United States thinks that leading a country means you just give in to every little thing that comes into your mind, fuck every sense of consequences or even self preservation.
Actually yes. We are not talking about flipping burgers or whatever the hell you do. We are talking about the leadership of a several hundred billion dollar department. A department that deals in NATIONAL SECURITY on the grandest scale. A department that is well served by, if not the same leadership then at the very least an orderly transition of leadership.
So what? Trump's fired a lot of people. It's his sig line ffs.
Yeah, and your point is?
Yes and every one of those election cycles there is a TRANSITION period. For the simple reason that the complexities of the job mean that it simply is best, to allow time for the new person to be worked in and be briefed properly by his predecessor.
Mattis joins the long list of rightwing heroes to be decried as a RINO
How long until Trump joins that list, I wonder?
Well, we're in another such transition period...There are a slew of toadies at the senior levels of the War Department, who can carry on the day-to-day bidness of the military-industrial complex...Deal with it.
There are so many players in Syria that this idiotic claim goes beyond absurd.
Out of line? For simply expressing his expert opinion? No 1st Amendment rights, like in Putin’s Russia?
Weird then that Trump just bragged about Turkey choosing to take on the currently undefeated ISIS.Mattis joins the long list of rightwing heroes to be decried as a RINO
How long until Trump joins that list, I wonder?
Mattis is a great general who didn't want Obama's war in Syria to end.
Obama's ISIS forces are defeated, America has no interest in staying in Syria.
Trump is right, Mattis is wrong.
Why did Trump hire Mattis in the first place?
