Yeah, that's bad.  Sounds like a case of "you can't quit -- you're fired!"

I'm not sure about Shanahan as acting SecDef.  He spent his career at Boeing.  He was a reasonable choice as DepSecDef to handle the acquisition side, but I'm not sure about SecDef.  They need to find a replacement ASAP.

^Careful, you're probably next on the list.

We can't live under the threat of a c*nt because he's threatening nuclear Armageddon.

Man, y'all must really really hate Trailrunner, to wish him SecDef in this administration...  :o  :D

I don't think Trailrunner could possibly kiss enough ass to be considered for the position. Lack of said posterior puckering seems to be a Secretary killer in this administration.

If selected for the position, my first priority would be to reform the food court in the Pentagon.  The coffee rolls that Dunkin' Donuts serves there are smaller than at other DDs, yet they charge the same price.  I'd also suggest in the strongest terms possible that the Au Bon Pain in the courtyard bring back the pecan rolls. 

Oh yeah - I'd also give free rent to anyone that wants to open a game store in the concourse.

In that case, I would need some volunteers for key cabinet positions, such as Minister of Scotch and Cigars.  And think of the monster wargames we could set up in the Oval Office!

Yeah, uhhhh.....I'm kinda worried that's happening now  :o

Mattis won't be out of a job long. Perfect fit for Head Coach for the Packers.  :clap:

I suspect that Civ 6 is being used right now to set our foreign policy. I can't wait till the Mayans bomb Pearl Harbor

Civ VI is way...you know what, never mind :/
