Typical Dangles post. Insult without any substantive content. If you knew what people actually thought you have some serious ESP. Most of the reason I stay out of this circle jerk lately, besides being busy at as #^&#^&#^&#^&, is the limited content and snide bickering between both sides.

Do I like all of Mattis ideas, No, of course not. Do I think he was doing a good job in this role, yes, particularly trying to keep petulant in chief under control. I can also respect him as being a thoughtful, tough, sane military commander.

I can lean left while still thinking we need to be strong on defense and terrorism particularly.

I also don’t think Obama handled the Middle East particularly well regarding ISIS or Syria. If in part that was driven by firing Mattis, than I disagree with it, fwiw.

Trump’s policy calls for increased energy use, reduced environmental regulation and claims climate change is not an issue.
One is looking to the future along with the rest of the world, Trump wants to return to the 60s.

Trump's National Security team is currently missing
- Secretary and Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security
- Director and Deputy Director of National Intelligence
- National Security Advisor
- Army/Air Force Secretaries

He hasn't even nominated anyone for most of these positions

Maybe Don jr and Eric are taking care of it.
