Gen. Mattis’s unceremoniously hastened resignation reminds how authoritarians fish for officials in the pond of cranks, losers, and eccentrics who know they’d have no business in their job under any normal president.
Look at his crew: @MattWhitaker46 , @stevenmnuchin1, @EPAAWheeler, @SecPompeo, @BetsyDeVosED, @SecretaryCarson, etc. — the idea of resignations on principle is a laugh.
Farewell, General.
Farewell, General.
Most Cabinet exits so far have been officials whose personal sleazery started to reflect badly on the boss: first Pruitt, now Zinke.
Facilitate the boss’s corruption, don’t do too much of your own, and you’ll be fine.
Poor ol’ Jeff Sessions, to his credit, got bounced for insufficiently facilitating the boss’s corruption.
