I know that many think that Mattis’ resignation letter was a scathing rebuke to President FUBAR, but that only applies to the intelligentsia that can and will read between the lines. There was nothing along the lines of “You demonstrated, sir, an enormously dangerous attitude toward the use of our nuclear weapons when you ……., forcing me to emplace myself into the chain of command for those weapons. “ Trump fans, the base, and thus Republican leaders will just write it off a policy difference that happens all the time.
I don’t know but I strongly suspect that the “adults in the room” like Mattis, Tillerson, Cohn, McMaster and others know that this man is dangerously unfit for the office. Unfit and dangerous to our nation, our military, our economy, and our world. I believe they know and have seen him act and make “decisions” that defy all logic, and that are either based in corruption (influence from Putin/MBS/Erdogan) or whims of the lunatic fringe that are based on clear falsehoods.
I think that these individuals need to man up and come forward and tell us the truth. Maybe some things ought to be done in private (did Mattis insert himself into the nuke chain of command? what happened that caused this?) but I suggest that they gone to Congress and to the media and lay out explicit scenarios of dangerous actions they have seen in person. Especially try to get on Trump TV and other rw sources where we need to hammer down this man to the greatest degree possible.
The nation needs and deserves more from you. The current POTUS is a clear and present danger. Stand up and do your duty.
