So cute, showing off what a good guy he really is. How about talking substantively and seeing how you can help with the impeachment instead of trying to charm your way out of your association with Trump? Yes, you left. Now stand up and do something beyond saving your own skin.

Jokes pretty good. Delivery needs some work.

Now, tell the Congress and the country what you really know.

It’s nice that Jim Mattis is willing to talk trash about Trump like a middle school mean girl, but his silence about matters of import shames his service.

Still waiting on the meat, Jim.

It is still amazing to think that the sanest member of the Trump administration is known as “Mad Dog.”

Walking into a WH office party would be like being on set for a “Jersey Shore” shoot, except all the actors were now in their 50s and 60s, with 30 more years of self entitled idiocy under their belts.

From what I understand, he hated that nickname— he preferred being known as “Warrior Monk”. Gen. Mattis, now is the time to break your vow of silence. Tell the country EVERYTHING you know about this evil, incompetent man who has the blood of our allies on his hands. Live up to the best traditions of your service branch and tell us the truth.

Ok, it’s a start. At least he’s speaking publicly. Now start seriously commenting. Admiral McRaven has done so, as have other retired military. Veterans and others can see the damage Trump is doing, but some may need the confirmation from their former commanders to abandon him.

One of the retired admirals or generals on MSNBC yesterday said Mattis’s call sign was ‘Chaos,” for the chaos he caused in the enemy ranks. He didn’t like the Mad Dog sobriquet.

Mad Dog, from one canine to another, it’s time to bite Trump’s hand. If it’s too small to really sink your teeth into, go for his belly. Earn your nickname.

We’ll have to rely on Adm. Raven.

Will he make Mattis eat crow?

Also, looks like Devin Nunes’ Cow has “leaky” teats.

Gotta cherry-pick those leaks! Trump twitstorm ahead.
