The day Mattis resigns is the day I closely check on my ammo, water, and canned goods supply.

I have to admit that I've been wondering, too, how long Mattis will last, trying to function in what has to be looking more and more like an insane asylum to him.

1. Time for a coup?

Arrest Trump, Bannon, and Pence. Ryan takes over?

5. I'd prefer the sociopathic, wonky Ryan over the Narcissist, the rabid Nazi or the Theocrat.

At least Ryan could speak on issues and to world leaders in complete sentences and doesn't have a vicious cult of deplorables/gullibles at his beck and call.

2. And the day I decide to put a little distance between myself and major US cities.

(I live 30 miles from Manhatten).

3. Based on my experiences in times of trouble,

NYC is exactly where I would want to be.

6. Why?

9. Are you kidding?

NYers help each other in times of trouble. Are you old enough to remember 9/11? Workers in Manhattan had to walk home up Broadway in their thin-soled office shoes. People emptied their closets, brought tables and chairs out, gave strangers their walking shoes to walk home with. To say nothing of water, sandwiches. An elderly relative was driven home by strangers - took hours that day - who saw her walking. Just 2 tiny anecdotal examples of NYers rising to the occasion.

I've seen and been involved in many other earlier examples. A pregnant friend taken in by a doctor's family in the Great Blackout of "65. In a city people see other' troubles and are moved to help. In suburbs and country, peoples' troubles can easily go unseen.

11. Thanks.

Wasn't sure whether you had a positive or negative take on it. Glad to see positive!

4. I'm a Marine Corps brat, eh, and just cannot imagine what Gen. Mattis is making

of all this chaos - also wonder what he thinks of Gen. Dunford being relieved of his duties as CJCS?

But then again, what was he thinking, signing on with DFT in the first place??

7. Pretty bad when a guy called Mad Dog is the sane one, eh?
