Guessing he said something like "I already told you that was stupid" after Trump announced the Space Force.

Could also be that Mattis talked shit about Putin & Xi today.
I know I'm super late to the party this thread really does fly when Trump doesn't something new and probably stupid every day. (fuck its only been one day) but I'm glad to see this was gotten to the bottom of.

Hopefully the guy is doing well.“military veterans responded that the tattoo looked more like a Maltese cross, a symbol associated with firefighters,” ICE said in a statement.
The tattoo, according to Gaertner, is actually a “Titan 2” symbol for his platoon when he served in Afghanistan.

Surrendering yourself to a border agent is the asylum process.

Crossing the border illegally is a misdemeanor. Crossing a second time is a felony. Surrendering to a border agent and requesting asylum is not a crime.

Maryland and Massachusetts governors cancel National Guard border troop deployment over migrant child separation.
But don't you have to cross the border first, then surrender to the agent? Then the asylum process can take months and even an year. Meanwhile, the family is split up.
Eh, even NPR reports say that isn’t accurate, unless by “surrendering to a border agent” you mean prior to crossing. An inch across the border without a visa, regardless of what you then do, ask, or say to someone that catches you is still a misdemeanor. The only way to do an at-border asylum request (without a concurrent criminal charge) is to wait in line at the border office and follow official procedure.
I wouldn’t call that surrendering though, since that’s the legal way.
These people are really something. Monsters, the lot of them.

In that case reality dictates Trump is our only option because no one would impeach him.
Then following the line of succession we'd literally go through a President Mike Pompeo before a President Mattis.
No thanks.
I will concede that in the top 6 Mattis in the line of succession he is the best of the 6.
But then after him is Jeff Sessions.
CBP or whichever agency in charge has been preventing people from presenting themselves for asylum, turning them away multiple times. So of course they're stuck waiting at a border shelter (if they're lucky) while continually trying to present themselves for asylum, or else they are forced to try crossing somewhere else since many of these people can't just hang out at the border indefinitely.
Honestly, if you listen to the way Trump and Nielsen have been talking the past few days, it sounds like Trump threw a tantrum over our asylum laws and had Sessions concoct a scheme that tries to get around that, and the plan is to hold the children hostage in order to get Democrats to agree to changing legal immigration laws to either allow holding of children indefinitely with the parents or to allow for deportation of asylum seekers who do not have their cases authenticated within 2 weeks (which is unrealistic).
It's an incredibly sick policy.
And the AP is now reporting that the babies and other very young children are being sent to institutional facilities.

Internment camps for babies. And there is no policy for reunifying these children with their parents, some of whom have already been deported back to their home countries.Trump administration officials have been sending babies and other young children forcibly separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border to at least three "tender age" shelters in South Texas, The Associated Press has learned.
Lawyers and medical providers who have visited the Rio Grande Valley shelters described play rooms of crying preschool-age children in crisis. The government also plans to open a fourth shelter to house hundreds of young migrant children in Houston, where city leaders denounced the move Tuesday.
