Discussion: Report: Kelly Left Out Of Trump-Russia Call, Decision To Hire John Bolton

Perhaps Kelly knows where Trump’s ducks are. Then again, perhaps not.

The only thing we know for certain is that Fat Nixon’s ducks are not in a row…

Thanks for the welcome. I’ve gotten to the point where I think there is such a threat to the free press in this country that I had to vote with my proverbial pocketbook. TPM has been a fav for a while.

He needs to “use 'em or lose 'em.”

Though Kelly was left out of those decisions, there’s no indication that Trump is gearing up to fire Kelly soon, …because with all the turn over, who will get the coffee?

Josh sells your personal information to Eastern European mail order child bride agencies. Just sayin’…

Not that I mind. The mailers are interesting.

Kelly couldn’t participate on the latest Trump/Putin call. Putin was giving his asset instructions on how to “govern” and advice on Kelly’s replacement.

Trump: “I really don’t know Kelly. I think he fetched me coffee a couple of times.”

Yup - no sympathy . There are many people who have politely declined .
He’ll be singing “Regrets I’ve had a few” shortly

Just watched the movie “Dave” (released in 1993) yesterday. If only Kelly was more like Frank Langella’s COS and cowed the fake president, even though in the end he was fired (and outed for corruption, along with the actual comatose president). Who knows, maybe we can get an ending that rids us of the president, his corrupt cronies and VP Pence (in Dave VP was really a good man being set up by Langella, where as Pence is likely a Manafort pawn in addition to being a Christofacist–so not a “good guy”).

Trump will fire Kelly relatively soon. He’ll replace him with Rosanne Barr.

Hear ya and welcome from me as well. I was a newsie full-time for a number of happy years when it was flourishing. Advertisers paid then, and readers could take it for granted. Different now. Being informed in dangerous times is worth fifty bucks a year.

What remains of the justifications Kelly uses to remain at the White House?

At what point does/did he cease to be a force for good and simply become an enabling co-conspirator?

As soon as he accepted, since there is no way he could not have known from public knowledge and the inevitable inside information he had access to.

I guess the rumored pact between Kelly, Mattis and Tillerson that all would leave if one was fired was just a rumor after all.

Yep. As with anything that comes out of the mouths of Trumpists it was a lie. These are not upstanding Americans we can be proud of. Kelly, Mattis and Tillerson (Mnuchin was one in the pact too) are simply frauds who sold their souls to the Devil.

And the country will never forgive or forget.
