I'm very disappointed to see Mattis go, but not surprised.
I didn't think Mattis was gonna be able to look the other way when President Trump ignored his expert advice regarding Syria, and prematurely declared ISIS defeated, and made a critical military/foreign policy announcement via Twitter (an announcement which took our elected representatives and our allies by surprise).
I wonder how other members of the Cabinet and Republican congress (aside from the Freedom Caucus) feel today as they watch President Trump dancing to the tunes of Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, and Laura Ingram whilst leaving his party's officials/representatives in the dark.
Now we wait and see if a government shutdown will be the cherry on top of this shit cake.
