Go back two years on FR and read how he was the greatest thing since chipped beef.

This revolving door and discontinuity thing at times has my head spinning.

“The rumor is, POTUS wants us out of Afghanistan.”

All thinking people do.

We’ve been there forever, and for no good reason.

About 6 months ago - I saw an article on the number of top Trump officials, cabinet secretaries, staff members and so on that had come and gone since January 2017.

It was over 50.

It must be close to 70-75 by now.

Mattis has publicly stated that he (Mattis) is a democrat.

It’s called a Meritocracy. Give people who have the right qualifications and credentials to show what they can do, judge the results, and either keep or move them out. Very simple. Mattis was unquestionably qualified and has done some good things, and failed in some regards. He’s also served in the military for 44 years and as SecDef for two and is 68 years old.

Not surprising at all for these positions to change. Trump is running about the same pace as C level corporate executive placements.

Good rumor. The globalist establishment, neocons and military industrial complex will be absolutely furious.

Him and Kelly. Mattis also protected the Tranny’s disobeying a direct edict from his CIC.

This would not happen with a democrat because all those people would be good politically connected friends of the president. In Trumps case, he gets rid of people who are not performing to his standards.
