THINK FakeNews

THINK

THINK When the truth is ignored, then what?

THINK Speak truth to power? Must be why politicians lie to their underlings.

THINK Then get fired

THINK Elvis has left the building TrumpResign

THINK lol what let's not get all soft on Mattis or the SecDef position in general historically that has NOT been the case in any way did rumsfeld, weinberger, cheney, and others speak truth to power? mcnamara by his own admission did not do so, out of peer pressure in the WH

THINK Unfit.

THINK “The job of the next defense secretary is to obstruct the president” -NBC

THINK The honor of truth lies in insulting the belief and unbelief of the treasonous, lying President. Those who honor the treasonous, lying President dishonor truth.

THINK Wrong. Mr. Trump will speak truth to power. AmericaFirst

THINK Isn’t that what Mattie’s tried to do? And eventually failed.

THINK 🐕 💩 Trump just wants toady yes men who will suck up to his narcissism

THINK Like under BarackObama who FIRED Mattis for ‘policy disputes’. Give me a break! He didn’t write a letter as he didn’t have to! We see through this biased and hateful narrative that you spread. Independents despise bias and WE VOTE!

THINK RepJerryNadler SenFeinstein NancyPelosi SenSchumer ericswalwell maddow NicolleDWallace Lawrence Time to Impeach Trump America is on a downward spiral.

THINK Isn't that what Mattis did ?

THINK

THINK 'Truth to power' such a lame, over used expression

THINK mad dog asked a new mission from president like afganistan. when he was refused, he decided to retun country lands.

THINK he will just get another person in there that's afraid to open their mouth just like the vice prez & all that are left there.just destroy the us & have good answers for your grandkids when they are learning Russian

THINK Ya, doubt that’s going to happen!

THINK USA NASA YOU SEE THE LARGEST ADULT OPERATIONS ON EARTH

THINK Why would anyone assume the next Sec. of Defense won’t also be an “adult” with a valid point of view? Runaway TDS

THINK No, it needs to be respectful to the chain of Command and civilian control of the military.

THINK Jared should be promoted to general so he can have the job. It only makes sense.

THINK The leading contender as next secretary of state is likely someone from FoxNews, so there goes the 'truth to power' wish.

THINK “Truth to power” 😂😂😂

Donald Trump slams Jim Mattis on Afghanistan record, claims resignation was 'essentially' a firingAt a White House cabinet meeting Wednesday, Trump criticized Mattis' handling of the Afghanistan war, which he said was 'not too good' despite additional funding and manpower commitments. One of his most egregious lies. Don’t know how anyone in the military could support Chief Lying Mushroom. This was predictable and expected. The funny thing about this is he is too much of a chicken to actually call the people and fire them, then when he moves their resignation date up and has someone else notify said person, he wants to take credit for firing them in the first place. He’s a world class coward.

Opinion | Trump is being the adult in the room on the shutdownThe president is trying to compromise on immigration. Democrats are not. marcthiessen your right-wing bias is showing 🤣 Whaaaat? Oh, you are joking or today is oposite Tuesday. I got it. Said no one ever. Trump created this mess. Congress passed a resolutions to keep the government open. Trump REFUSED to sign it because it didn't have what HE wanted, for his own political purposes. That is not the behavior of an adult responsible for MILLIONS of Americans.

Jim Mattis' resignation letter is an absolutely stunning rejection of TrumpismLots of Cabinet officials -- and I mean LOTS -- have either resigned or been fired by President Donald Trump in his first 20 months in office. But no one has quit in quite the same way as Defense Secretary James Mattis did Thursday night. CillizzaCNN You should really cut Cillizza out of the headline if you actually want people to read it CillizzaCNN No it's not. He mostly disagrees with pulling out of Syria to soon. Something you praised Obama foe when he pulled troops out to early. CillizzaCNN FAKE NEWS

Read the Jim Mattis resignation letterDefense Secretary Jim Mattis’s resignation letter makes clear that he differs with Trump on key issues. Read it here. Trump cannot ever be good at being POTUS. General Mattis illuminates critical lapses in judgment by our incompetent President. However, to further protect the country for whom he has devoted most of his life, he (and others in leadership) need to call on Trump to resign. The danger warning signals are flashing red.
