James Mattis, Secretary of Defense, quits

If we weren't in trouble before (and we were!!), we are so F%?#&D!
The last adult is jumping ship! Not that it matter since Trumplestiltskin "knows more" than the generals anyway and obviously doesn't need their counsel. Must be all his years serving in the military and studying military strategy.

I assume everyone is jumping ship because they know the real chaos is about to start when the Democrats get control of the house and can investigate Trump.
I just keep thinking - two more years, two more years, the democrats better not mess this up, two more years...
