That guy had more charisma.

Monarch has his charms. Also too thin.
Maybe . . . Pizza The Hut?
So the Murderous Muppets, then?
Quite a shrewd decision to sew your lips to DJT’s prodigious ass, eh, Rudes?
Good guy DJT. And screw Mattis, too.

Screw mattis for refusing an unethical order?
Screw Mattis for not saying a word until he’s writing his fucking book.

This isn’t his book, is it? I thought it was written by an aide, and he was not pleased with it.
Mattis believed that he could do more good by just keeping things running correctly, against the president’s crazy orders, as long as possible.
Seeing what is happening now that he’s gone, he was probably right, and probably kept things from going off the rails for a while.

Yes, definitely the right thing to do when you find out the president is an insane, ignorant, unethical narcissist is keep quiet and make sure he stays in office as long as possible.
Yup he was covering up impeachable offenses I don’t think that reflects well on him.
Especially considering the stuff he’s said about Obama, who did nothing impeachable …it’s a monstrous and partisan double standard.

Mattis cares about the men and women in the military, and the country.
Him saying stuff about Trump doesn’t move the needle. Trump’s supporters don’t care, and Trump’s detractors already know it. Him leaving earlier would have served no purpose.
Hell, eventually it became so bad that he did exactly what you guys wanted.
And it didn’t matter. Nothing changed, except that the DoD became less competently managed.
Also, for the record, this particular event? We knew about it back when it happened.
I think it does and would

He resigned with a scathing letter, and it didn’t.
What good is it to have a plan to kill everyone in the room if you never use it?
As scathing as what he said about Obama, a good president who improved American standing in the world?
