I feel a little safer tonight.  Not by much, but a little.

LOCK HIM UP

[jimmy olsen]

Good news. Surprised that he's the first one to go given how close he was to Trump. I expected the more reasonable Mattis to be the first to get the heave to.

Do not compare Mattis to Flynn. Flynn is and has been a POG his whole career

IMO Trump is intimidated by Mattis

I'm not comparing them. I just thought that his very competence and rationality would make it more likely for him and Trump to come to blows (metaphorically) with each other.

It's not like it hasn't been out there;  he went full Colonel Kurtz ages ago.  At least getting him out of the picture means his team of wingnuts will wind up going with him.

Now, let's see which batshit fruit cocktail goof he hires in his place.

Mattis is on the other side of the river, where it's nice and quiet. 

Guys like Mattis, Kelly and Tillerson would resign over Trump's minion's bullshit long before they would need to be fired.

Hmmm interesting, I can't even remember who the other pick were.

Nut job Guliani???

Not that I'm doubting you, but I doubt it.  How can anyone get mixed up in this mess without knowing exactly what they are getting into?

A sense of duty.  Or, in the case of Tillerson, a sense of shareholder value.

But even he isn't going to put up with Trump's shit.  Unlike Der Furor, Rex Tillerson was a real CEO.

Exactly what I was typing.

Doubful.  Rudy ist kaput.  Watch, he'll push again for Betrayeus.

And to think, Flynn was on the short list as Veep once upon a time.

Despite his flaws, he not a nut job. However, can he get a clearance?
