Already referring to Mattis as the last adult in the building. It's wrong though. Rob Reiner got it right when he said "the adult rats are fleeing the ship." So Mattis was the last adult rat in the building.
Yeah...yeah...everybody says Mattis was some sort of hero warrior. Everybody has had all the same information on Trump for the last four decades. Anybody who accepts a job from him is a rat.

Bolton’s Hawkish Syria Plan Backfired, Pushing Trump to Get Out
The national security adviser expanded U.S. goals in Syria to challenge Iran. But Trump wasn’t on board, senior officials say, and Turkey took an opportunity to push the U.S. out.

Donny's not the only incompetent buffoon lunatic in this clown administration.

Donny’s spineless yes men
https://www.politico.com/story/2018/...-syria-1073624
“Pompeo publicly parrots whatever he thinks the president wants him to say, and foreign leaders have a very tough time putting themselves next to a parrot that is trumpeting ‘America First’,” said Brett Bruen, a former State Department official who now serves as president of the Global Situation Room, a crisis management consulting firm. “And there’s no proof that any private reassurances, if in fact, Pompeo is offering them, can be taken to the bank.”
Former CIA Director John Brennan went even further. “Now we're left with people who are yes men, whether it be a Mike Pompeo or John Bolton or others,” Brennan said on MSNBC, naming the national security adviser alongside the secretary of State. “These are individuals who have not demonstrated any backbone and spine in terms of standing up.”

Acting AG incorrectly claimed 'Academic All-American' honors on resume
His one and only “qualification” for the job was speaking ill re: the Mueller investigation. Grifters, all.

Why is Matthew Whitaker panic-stricken about testifying before Congress?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...fore-congress/
Quote:
Acting Attorney General Matthew G. Whitaker said he will not appear before Congress on Friday without assurances that he won’t be subpoenaed — giving Democrats a deadline of 6 p.m. Thursday to respond.
Whitaker’s move came shortly after the House Judiciary Committee voted along party lines to give its chairman the authority to subpoena Whitaker’s testimony, should he not appear or answer lawmakers’ questions.
Whitaker’s stunt comes after months of delay and refusal to testify voluntarily, a bit of chutzpah that did not go unremarked upon by Democrats ("the panel had sent Whitaker many letters and requests to settle points of his testimony in advance, to which he had chosen not to respond”). No doubt, when Whitaker shows up on Friday he’ll invoke executive privilege (improperly, since that is not a privilege that holds up against Congress), necessitating the committee then to issue a subpoena and attempt to compel his testimony.
The real issue here is Whitaker’s fear of appearing and being forced to answer questions under threat of congressional contempt, which could occur if he is under subpoena. (“Democrats worry that Whitaker, whose public comments before taking over the Justice Department suggested that he was sympathetic to Trump and critical of the Mueller inquiry, may seek to evade questions he is asked during the proceedings.”)
“This is outrageous,” said constitutional scholar Larry Tribe. “Whitaker seems to think he is entitled to dictate the terms on which he is invited to testify. He is not. It is anti-constitutional for a member of the Article II branch, not to mention an unconfirmed acting officer whose initial appointment was of dubious legality, to insist that he will not appear to give testimony properly sought by the Article I branch, acting through a duly constituted committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, unless that Article I committee first sacrifice one of its statutory and constitutional prerogatives.”

You know what a perjury trap is? It's where they make you swear to tell the truth.

FEMA administrator William ‘Brock’ Long, who faced questions about his use of his government vehicle, is resigning
In a normal administration, he’d have been fired long ago.
