Trump pushes Mattis out on January 1st

The President made the move to remove "now retired" Mad Dog Mattis pretty much immediately and has installed Deputy Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan as acting Secretary.


Pretty sure this was done for no other real reason other than to trigger the left into a new rage. It will be less than 24 hours before liberals will start blaming Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity for the decision.

Surprised that Mattis gave 2+ months' notice. Not surprised Trump shortened it by 2 months.

So, you believe that the reports that Trump is not motivated by people like Limbaugh or Colter or Hannity when he tweets serious policy issues to withdraw from Syria are "Fake News"? Despite that his Secretary of Defense advised him not to make that decision?

This was an extraordinary moment for the President. He is becoming increasingly isolated. If you believe any of the stories about his decision making process, even you should be worried about his actions.

But long ago you said that any of the negative stories are all Fake News.

Your behavior is no different than what you are claiming about how the evil liberals behavior. "liberals will start blaming Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity for the decision."

You have already made up your mind to agree with the President and you find a way to blame the Fake News and the evil liberals are false and he's doing the right thing.

Mad Dog Mattis is a retired Marine Corps General and veteran of the Vietnam war.

Trump was a bone spur draft dodger.

alky,

you do realize that at this point we're just mocking you, right?

i mean, for you to stomp your feet and demand that scott address whateverthefuck your TDS has driven you to be mad about is just hilarious.



trump is unfit, and mattis was our only hope, and we want endless wars just because, and the republicans will be destroyed in 2020, and social security is insurance, not welfare, and trump is putin's puppet, and limbaugh is running our government, and the kurds are all gonna die and cnn is not fake news and trump's hatred of the media violates the first amendment and, and, and...


the way you're carrying on is reminiscent of the days immediately after your liver swap when you were so fucking delirious and incoherent you probably should've been placed in a straitjacket.

you're a fucking mess, alky.

and you know, as much as we disagreed with 0linsky which was just about every day considering what a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure he was, none of us went completely fucking bonkers, full retard, apeshit like you. not even close.

why don't you have mail order call for one of those medical transport vans to take a little ride down to the kaiser permanente psych ward. at this point it's a safe bet to say you pose a threat to yourself or others. and if the way you're behaving around the house is even half as fucked up as how you're behaving here, well... maybe they can sedate your ass for a few days until one of the shrinks can figure out which parts of your brain are misfiring.

Corker's bonkers. So are you Alky. Get help.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Mr. Trump can’t decide what he really wants and seems to have no political strategy for achieving whatever it is. First he surprised everyone by taking public ownership of a possible shutdown in a meeting in the Oval Office with Democratic leaders. Then he agreed to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s proposal to fund the government for two months to move the funding debate into the new year when Democrats run the House.

Then the House GOP Freedom Caucus and talk-radio hosts stomped their feet, and Mr. Trump flipped back to welcoming a shutdown and tweeting that “it could be a long stay.”

To what end? Mr. Trump’s shutdown tactic is to hold his breath until the other side gives in. This didn’t work for Newt Gingrich in 1995, though at least Newt was battling Bill Clinton over major reforms in the entitlement state. Mr. Trump is holding his breath over a mere $3.4 billion in spending for a piece of political symbolism.

The Freedom Caucus has long argued that Republicans can win a shutdown standoff if they hold their breath long enough. Perhaps Mr. Trump will try that, and at least we’d get a political market test of which party suffers most as the standoff continues. Yet if it ends with the two sides compromising on something like $3 billion in border funding, Americans can be forgiven for thinking the whole thing was a pointless political farce.

I guess that every single person who believes that he was influenced by the House GOP Freedom Caucus and talk-radio hosts is crazy and needs a mental examination.

I think that the person who wrote this nonsense is in danger to himself and others around him.

If should be a no-brained to the WSJ editorial board.

Donald Trump made a promise of a border wall when he's was running for president.

His voters reminded him of that promise this pass week.

Trump is fighting to keep his promise.

It's called democracy.

Apperently the WSJ editorial board doesn't understand a politician who keeps his promises.

Or maybe Trump is just not a politician.

Every single time Roger attempts to talk on his own about a subject he goes down in flames.

"Married couples generally benefit the most from Social Security and Medicare payments, especially when one spouse earns significantly more than the other. A two-earner couple with one spouse earning the average wage each year ($43,100 in 2010) and the other spouse earning 45 percent of the average wage annually ($19,400 in 2010) who both retire in 2010 will get back $300,000 more in retirement benefits than they paid into the system. A couple with this earnings history would pay $500,000 in taxes over their lifetime, but get back $800,000 in benefits.

When both members of the couple earn the same average wage over their working life, they get back $192,000 more than their tax contributions. In this case the spouses paid $690,000 in Social Security and Medicare taxes and are likely to get $882,000 worth of benefits in retirement.."

alky,

the ONLY redeeming value that 0linsky had for being elected president is that he allowed us to check off the "elect a black guy" box.

his sole contribution was exclusively in the realm of the left's all time favorite hobby horse - identity politics.

and the price we had to pay was only his destruction of our healthcare/insurance system, humiliation on the international stage, weaponization of a few gov agencies in pursuit of his political enemies, and the demise of GM.

not a trade i would've made, yet here we are.

bin laden was a broken down old man, a lot like you. ISIS ROSE under skeets. and yes, the recovery took a helluva lot longer than it should've thanks to 0linsky's redistributionist policies. thankfully trump has shredded virtually all of them.
