Callouts from sec def, chairman joint chiefs, and navy admirals and no Twitter tirade. I feel we've been deprived.

I am just glad the military is telling Trump to FOAD and that they won't kill Americans for him. You can't be a real dictator if the military won't kill your own people for you.
Even Esper understands where this is going. That Trump will eventually order him to use the military to target Americans but when sh!t hits the fan, accept no responsibility, and make Esper the fall guy, and that he's better off getting fired now than going down that road.

Maybe he left his phone in the bunker and doesn't remember how to get back there.

Love how Trump was trying to demean Matthis. I don't read Trump tweets because most of it is nonsense boasting about how great he is yadda yadda.
I don't know how people can read that drivel.

He always, just pretending to not be. Total snake in the grass. One time in school he watched Kennedy speak, should have been disqualified for any post after that. Totally lied on his background check about it to the corrupt FBI so it wasn't discovered and they protected one of their own deep state liberal plants.

After reading QAnon garbage like the Cash Cab guy killed Floyd, your post isn't even satirical to me. It reads more prophetic.

He needs to stand on a stage with Biden and/or anyone that is opposing Trump directly.
Doubt he will. He was once in a position to exert more influence and instead he's writing a letter now. Too little too late General.

He should because as I said earlier words are nice, action is needed.
He stood on stage with the President, he should stand on stage with Biden if invited to make things “right”
Woman I know whom is in the military appears to respect Mattis a lot. I am sure there are more like her.

Shame on Mattis for playing a role in normalizing Trump. He waited to long to say something like this. But in his resignation letter he made it clear that Trump is an idiot.
It's also important now that he is essentially saying that people in the armed forces should not follow the commands of Trump, but rather their constitutional oath. And this is directed at all levels of the forces, top to bottom. And that message is really needed right now.
Getting a former cabinet member to oppose Trump, unequivocal, on the record, is huge. I'm taking it as a win. More need to do this.
I know, its damn near impossible to do satire anymore. I have props to the Onion for still finding a way to do it. What's sad is their shit from a few years ago reads more like history than satire now.
Another 2020 campaign slogan.
Make satire real again!

Looks like Mattis stood up when it really mattered to him that the military, the military he was a leader of, the military that he put his heart and soul into for decades was potentially going to be exploited by an incompetent self-centered wanna-be autocrat who has this misguided notion that he can do as he pleases with everything the gov't has at its disposal, including an armed forces meant to serve the people and definitely not the dictatorial whims of a tyrant.
Mattis got a real close look at Trump and his defective mind when he was in Trump's inner circle. Mattis, realizing what a narcissistic moron Trump is, has spoken up for those members of the military who by law and by moral/ethical code cannot criticize their CIC. He is defending them and hopefully preventing them from having to experience the conflict between obeying an unlawful order from their CIC or openly disobeying that order to wage war against their own fellow Americans.
From this point of view, his timing was perfect and for all the right reasons.
