People keep talking about "Federalizing the National Guard" and now you've got other States pledging their NG to Texas in defiance of the Supreme Court (see image).

So is this what CW2 looks like?

P.S. I'm a Brit

So guys just in case, can you like maybe hand over your nuclear launch codes. You can have them back when you've calmed down.

Apparently our generals take those very seriously. I had fantasies Mattis was going to stab Trump with a steak knife to stop him from pulling a Stillson. IRL, Mattis said I'll get on that right away, sir ...and then just didn't.

I'm pretty sure Mattis was the top ranking agent of the Deep State and that figured into why he got replaced with Esper. In the meantime, there's a long chain of officers who are eager to interrupt an unnecessary nuclear exchange.
