What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[Kleves]

Mattis is going to be retiring at the end of February.

My niece's husband has shared this:

"We The People Will Fund The Wall"

$4,268,665 of $1.0B goal
Raised by 69,681 people in 3 days

Why did they set the goal at 1 BILLLLLLION dollars?  Should have done like $10 million to get started and then work from there.  They'll have to refund everything unless they hit that goal.

You're thinking of kickstarter. GoFundMe lets you keep the money even if you fail to reach the goal. Thus setting an impossible goal is actual a positive for grifting as much as possible

Markets having worst year since 2008
Special Counsel convictions
COS and SECDEF resign
DOJ in chaos
Government shutdown almost certain



Merry Christmas!

Yup

I guess we'll see if all those stories about Mattis being the brake on Donald's worst inclinations regarding the use of force were true or not.

His resignation letter is worth reading.
Phone posting, otherwise I'd link it.

Yes, good read.

Let the character assassination at Fox begin.

Well I hoped it would all hold together until we could get that clown out of office. I am sad to see that perhaps it will not.

That is very depressing.

To quote the musical "Evita" - the money keeps rolling in:

$10,757,607 of $1.0B goal
Raised by 176,602 people in 4 days

Yes. He twice mentions "men and women", which is strangely exclusionary.

Child labor is frowned upon here.

I like that people are donating when the page notes that they haven't actually figured out how the money would get to the government to pay for the wall.

The guy says in his pitch that every penny is getting refunded if they don't hit their goal.

That's rather convenient. Do we think the money will get there via a Swiss account or the Caymans?
