It's a bad fit for Mattis because it goes against pretty much his entire philosophy. The only reason why he left the private sector grift he was running is because all of the other picks for SECDEF would have been absolutely horrible. The dude doesn't want to run the country.

I thought Mattis was teaching at Stanford after he retired?

He was on the Theranos board and before he retired was pushing for Theranos to do all the testing for the DoD. So standard flag officer DoD grift. Doesn't make him worse than any other flag officer that came before him and certainly not after.

Democrats are the ones who need to be questioned. Bush makes a negative remark about Trump and his approval with Democrats goes over 50%. Mattis resigns because Trump is pulling troops out and they want to put him on the ticket.

Come on.

Remember when we acted like Melania was a hostage and not a terrible human being because she pushed Trump's hand away?

I mean this is 100% bog standard poo poo for senior officers and most certainly for flag officers. It doesn't even raise an eyebrow for me. Go look at any of the aerospace firms and count the number of USAF colonels and above, or medical consulting for medical officers, and so on. I'm not trying to justify it or even remotely imply that it's acceptable, but I don't like that the sun gets too hot and that's about as likely to change as the revolving doors of government/private (or academia)/repeat.

He's pulling out for all the wrong reasons. Y'all thinking like the next election is going to be normal. No, this is going to be a Trump show and you need remove as much popular support as possible because he's going to poo poo wildly all over his competition.

And it's gonna work.

From the very little I've heard in the public domain about the airforce SBIRS satellites and their coverage, I think it's less likely you can't see the thing, you probably can - it's that one of those things launching looks like any small missile / aircraft launching in infra red, so gleaning any data about whether some source the system sees is something truly nasty is impossible.

Until you see it streaking over Germany at 5000mph. Can't think how you'd get around that.

Now we just need the stompy mech to launch it.

Not chasing it diffuse it.

It's low effort so you can focus on bringing on new voters who sat on the fence last time.

didn’t he also bring her parents here through obviously legal and appropriate channels

all that poo poo makes me laugh so hard when it comes to the “caravan invasion!” Etc. But hey, they’re not brown so...

Like I’m first gen and here because of illegal immigration yet parents are still hardcore anti any of that. “It was different times, you see!”
