(1,990 posts)Mattis resigned because Trump is taking orders from Vladimir Putin and he is not going to be part of it.
We are near the end; its just that "how" this is going to end that is anybody's guess.

(13,340 posts)Thy never thought they would succeed in getting Trump in. And if they did, they never thought the GOP would allow him to destroy U.S. leadership of the Western World.
They cannot believe how easy all this is.

(7,142 posts)and Republicans made a pact to vote no to everything president Obama proposed. I thought to myself that this strategy won't work, making everything political, the American people will see through it. I was wrong, it worked, and the reason it worked is because Republicans have an ace up their sleeve, the corporate controlled right wing M$M. The GOP was backed by the M$M, if it wasn't it would have been harder for Trump to get into power and remain in power.
The M$M right now should be pushing for impeachment.

(32,639 posts)With Wall Street tanking like it is, things will get ugly real quick. Let's just hope this doesn't turn into a military coup, which would take care of the immediate problem, but it would also become its own nightmare.

(326 posts)for retiring, but we all know that Trump will find the worst possible person to replace him. I dont see anything heroic in his actions.
The true unsung heroes are the ones who refused to accept positions in Trumps administration. Not the ones who decide to jump ship when theyre about to drown.
