Nah. He resigned voluntarily.

So no Mattis dictatorship unfortunately. Though maybe he can run for President


Yeah, that ship has sailed.
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

The military launches a coup, restores order to this shattered society and creates a more perfect union?

I'm moderately curious about how long his staff had to beg, plead, cajole and flatter Trump to talk him out of Tweeting about how Mattis was just a low IQ loser who is jealous of Trumps stable military genius.

LMAO: https://fox13now.com/2018/12/20/gofundm ... in-3-days/

A triple amputee Air Force veteran and motivational speaker is asking the 63 million Americans who voted for President Donald Trump to chip in $80 apiece for the border wall. The total would meet Trump's request for $5 billion to build a wall along the United States' southern border with Mexico, with $40 million to spare. Trump said Wednesday, amid debate over a potential government shutdown, that Mexico would indirectly pay for the wall via a trade deal and that the US military would build it. "Even if we get half, that's half the wall. We can do this," Brian Kolfage writes on his verified GoFundMe, which had raised more $5.6 million from about 102,000 donors as of midday Thursday.


Now they just have to cut wages of their Mexican laborers, and that means less remittances for Mexico, which means less local tax funds, so technically Mexico can still pay for a part of it :P
