Trump doesnât have the courage to fire Kelly. He is gonna passive-aggressively sideline him until Kelly himself resigns.
Kelley should be an object lesson for wannabe right wing scumbags nationwide. You work with this foolish criminal traitor and you will see your reputation destroyed for all time. Your family will wear your shame and guilt for the rest of their lives as well. You will always be remembered as somebody who traded their honor and good name for a criminal.
And it could not happen to a nicer racist pig.
Might be problematic for Trump if Kelly ever remembers heâs supposed to be serving a nation, not a cult of personality. Maybe being treated contemptuously a bit more will help him remember that. His oath didnât, or the memory of his son. I donât understand people like him, to be honest.
Letâs see if Princess Huckster-Slanders mentions Spanky having âfull confidenceâ in Kelly at todayâs presser.
That always signals imminent firing. Wonder if Scaredy-Spanky will also can him via tweet?
The âOccupantâ is merely keeping Kelly around to use as a convenient prop/fall-guy for the next time the media hits upon a scandal/ Russia-gate indictment, then Kelly gets deep-sixed as diversionary tactic: see Podesta, John/âPussy tapeâ
A type of Stockholm Syndrome? Gets in thinking heâll be the adult, but then so deep he lost touch with reality?
'Cause he sure hasnât been the adult in quite some timeâŚ
You are touched by the fuckinâ moron, Kelly. Which means you will die. Only morons believe they are an exception till their moment of death, and of course, you are a moronâŚ
chief of staff John Kelly ⌠got a business lesson in the difference between âLineâ and âStaffâ
next comes the withering anger outburst from Trump demanding that Kelly renumber the White House parking spaces and have the hedges trimmed on a more frequent basis.
As long as Kelly gets to demean women and stick it to people of colorâŚheâs good. He seems to like that part.
Hey General Kelly, howâs that selling your soul for access to power been working for you?

Wasnât Kelly supposed to be one of the adults in the room who supposedly had a pact to all leave if one of them was fired? I thought the trio was RExxon, McMaster and Kelly. Perhaps Mattis was the 4th musketeer - I donât have my bingo card handy.
Of the original trio, only Kelly remains standing. Yeah, sure, heâs safe.
Also, welcome to @thisisourcountry! I see you just joined this morning and I hope you enjoy our little community here!
Either a sign that Kelly is being frozen out - or (based on the timing) another indicator that Trump thinks he now understands his job and can do whatever he likes, whenever he likes, and his decisions are the bestest (who needs a staff or a cabinet!) And damn the fake news media attacking my decisions - and thanks for the blind base that falls for the calls of âFake Newsâ at my decisions as is indicated by my strong polling numbers (with my base.)
I guess âmy generalsâ werenât as useful as the Jackass in Chief thought?
My vote.
Though Kelly was left out of those decisions, thereâs no indication that Trump is gearing up to fire Kelly soonâŚ
Translation: Trump is gearing up to fire Kelly.âIn a sign that chief of staff John Kellyâs grip on White House operations is loosening, President Donald Trump did not include Kelly in two major recent events for the administration, Bloomberg News reported Thursday.â
Now, who could possibly have leaked this info.? It couldnât have been Donald J. Trump, could it?
Kelly will be gone within a month, easy.
Once Bolton comes on board April 9th, Kellyâs days are numbered.
Thereâs a school of thoughtâwhich I neither endorse nor discountâthat Kelly is there because he believes that someone stepping into that role might control DJTâs destructive impulses even less. This is not an excuse for Kelly (my own personal perspective is that Kelly is a decent career soldier, prejudices intact, whoâs in a job for which he has no aptitude).
