women being ‘sacred’

That’s a variant of “a lovely woman.” And yes, I wanted to vomit too.

Some men are sacred too.

You want to talk about fucking politicizing? Remember this monstrous episode:

Would Sean Smith be proud of his mother, Patricia Smith?

You know, when I was a kid growing up, a lot of things were sacred in our country,” Nothing is sacred to trumpy except fame and money. Fake America Great Again.

[spacesaver]

“What do I say?”

How about, “you’re the f-ing president, welcome to your job. You knew what you were signing up for, right?”

[Lacuna-Synecdoche]

Translation:

“I’m the only one holding this shit show of a clown circus together so I need to fall on the grenade this time and present Dear Leader in a positive light so he doesn’t do something insane in a tantrum. So I’m going to go ahead and sacrifice my dignity and the memory of my son out of duty for country.”

I think you’re giving Kelly more credit than his rhetoric and actions say he deserves. From everything I can see, Kelly isn’t working with Trump out of a sense of duty - he’s working with Trump because he shares Trump’s resentments, prejudices, and political beliefs.

Time to look at pictures of kittens again. God, this is a nightmare.

Here you go.

Some men are sacred too.

Kelly has some sacred straw men—do they count?

[blugrass]

Niger is Trump’s Benghazi. He’s the Commander in Chief, and Niger went FUBAR. Time to investigate.

[moreyampersand]

So when, exactly, did women stop being “sacred”? When they started using birth control?

[breakingdeadmen]

Yeah, he facepalms because of the stupidity, not the ideology.

[thunderclapnewman]

[socalista]

Women are not sacred in some way that men are not. Standing up for women’s rights means also standing up for the equal rights of men.

[justruss]

Says it all.

[breakingdeadmen]

I already have a hangover, I really don’t need more things that make me want to vommit

[tena]

That’s really well said. It should be said more often.

[tommie]

Shame on John Kelly. He has obviously drunk the kook-aid. He was an embarrassment to the military. He lowered himself to Trump’s cesspool level.

[darrtown]

BINGO!!!
Ira’sdad scores a web take down!!

[texacali]

Face it. Kelly isn’t there to babysit tRump. He’s in the WH because he likes the power and because he supports tRump. Just like McMaster, just like Tillerson and all the rest.

[1gg]

Because it’s the Marines says this Navy wife!

[Lacuna-Synecdoche]

Josh Marshall:

[John Kelly ended the press briefing] by refusing to take questions from reporters who couldn’t say they personally knew a Gold Star Family.

But Kelly will serve a malignant narcissist who doesn’t give a shit about gold star families.
