            You're a man of your word. You said if Mattis left then you'd had enough of this fraud. Syria withdrawal in line with Putin and against all advice to the contrary just did Mattis in. Now there is no one left to protect us from the fool on the hill except Meuller. Write your congressman to vote to protect him because that's who this traitor wants out next because he's getting too close to the truth about his whole compromised empire.

              That resignation letter is polite but does not paint the prettiest picture about Trump.

                  OK, so it wasn't just me. Sounds like tweeting that you are pulling out of Syria without giving a heads up to your allies or the pentagon is the straw that broke the camel's back.

                        He'll be part of the "dirty deep state" before midnight tonight. Bunch of fucking fools just don't get that the real enemy of the people is occupying the chair the Russians wanted him to be in from day one.

                            Meanwhile, Mattis DESPISED everything about Obamao. I wouldn't have hired someone who worked under obaMao - too close to the deep state.

                              go lick your commie obaMao's toes. Mattis despised him on several counts. That he disagreed with PRes Trump is no matter to me.

                                      I hate to see Mattis leave as I like to see presidents usually following their generals advice but I saw the same thing under Obama.

                                        That resignation letter is polite but does not paint the prettiest picture about Trump.

                                        OK, so it wasn't just me. Sounds like tweeting that you are pulling out of Syria without giving a heads up to your allies or the pentagon is the straw that broke the camel's back.

                                        It was a long list of good values that Mattis agrees with then said Trump should find someone who better fits something different than those positive values. A polite but sly way of doing it.

                                          Meanwhile, Mattis DESPISED everything about Obamao. I wouldn't have hired someone who worked under obaMao - too close to the deep state.

                                          He'll be part of the "dirty deep state" before midnight tonight. Bunch of fucking fools just don't get that the real enemy of the people is occupying the chair the Russians wanted him to be in from day one.

                                          Called it. ?
