Trump replaces Mattis with a deputy Shanahan on January 1 after someone read Mattis' letter to him and it hurt his fee fees.

It wasn't read to him. Steven "Hair Boner" Miller told Trump that Mattis insulted him, and that was enough.

So come January 1st, our new Secretary of Defense will be someone who has ZERO military experience and has just 18 months of experience at the Governmental level.


Not unheard of in the history of Secretary of Defense, but this knee jerk reaction seems like we're inching closer to an international incident.

Ash Carter had no military experience either, though he had spent many years with the DoD.

What???? Nah, never happen.

Trump only hires the best people. Government couldn't be in better hands.

Not like when that community organizer was running things.

Yeah, he had a bit of a stretch (back to the Clinton administration) working in the DoD.

Shanahan went from 30 years with Boeing mainly in management and executive level positions, primarily in their defense wing, straight to second in command of the DoD and Trump's personal pick to ramp up the military enlistment.

I get it, that the Sec of Def is the highest civilian position available in the Pentagon, and that Mattis actually needed a congressional waiver because he wasn't removed from active duty the seven years that federal law requires. But something about hiring the guy who 18 months ago was selling the US Government airplanes and weapons just doesn't sit right. It's like watching the live action re-make of "Canadian Bacon."

I think a lot of people have played "what if?" games during the trump presidency. Hell, we play them all the time during any presidency. Normally it would just be a way to pass the time. But can you imagine what would have happened had the presidency been as dysfunctional as it is now at some other critical points in the post WWII history? What would have happened during the Cuban Missile crisis? Or the 6 Days War or Yom Kippur war? Or when the Russians shot down KAL 007?

War planners on both sides of the Iron Curtain had people in their ranks who honestly thought first-strike nuclear options were not entirely unthinkable. Had the White been occupied by someone like trump in the Fall of 1962 what is the likelihood none of us are here today? I forgot more about international geo-politics sleeping overnight than trump has ever known, and believe me you don't want ME in the White House with a finger anywhere near the button.

But the only republicans with an ounce of sense are ones who literally have only a few days left on the job. If the history of the trump presidency is ever written the ones who will go down as most to blame (after the people dumb enough to vote for trump that is) are the elected senators and congressmen who were unwilling to take the first principled stand against him. They played chicken with the spoils being supreme court and federal court judges and tax cuts for people worth 100 times more than everyone I am related to combined. May they burn for an eternity in Hell.

The "FAILING" New York Times said:
One aide said that although Mr. Drumpf had already seen the resignation letter when he praised Mr. Mattis, the president did not understand just how forceful a rejection of his strategy Mr. Mattis had issued.

Thanks, Lil' Stevie.

Also, this:

Mr. Shanahan, who, like Mr. Mattis, is from Washington State, is a former Boeing executive. Aides say that Mr. Drumpf likes him in part because he often tells the president that he is correct to complain about the expense of defense systems.

He wants unions at Boeing manufacturing gone (there are a lot of them - trust me, I know).

Mattis might be a dick, but he knows Trump is answering to Putie, and the Syria pull-out was the last straw.

If you have Twitter, Sen. Paul has some very good Festivus zingers.

Except the level of egomaniac behavior he has displayed IS evidence of mental illness. As for his sanity, the only time "legally sane" becomes a real issue is if someone is a defendant in a criminal or civil case and there is a question as to their ability to understand the proceedings and aid in their defense. By that measure, sure, he's sane. By any measure we should use to judge the FVCKING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, he is clearly not competent to occupy the White House. His grasp on reality is far too flexible, his ability to understand complex international issues of trade and diplomacy is non-existent, he is a pathological liar (another clear indication of serious mental illness) and even if none of that was true, his actions and solutions will only serve to drive the country deeper and deeper into debt with none of the benefits he seems to believe will come from building a wall, or banning brown people from entering the nation, and running the military like it is his own little inconsequential game of Risk. Oh wait, what am I saying, he doesn't have the intellectual capacity to play a game as complicated as Risk.

by your definition, all liberals are suffering from mental illness
they certainly do not have a grasp of reality, and all are habitual liars
