Remember when this four-star weapons-grade slimeball was supposed to be the adult in the room who would protect us from Trump?
Neither does he.
Not only Donald, whoâs cluelessâŚ
Kelly Told Senior Staff To âlie and cover his assâ
FIFY Kelly
The amazing thing is he doesnât think heâll get caught in a lie.
The Trumpiness has taken another victim.
They all listen to Faux and think that is how things are
ANOTHER sterling example of how military men act, right General??? What a lying scumsucker you are. Youâre just as bad as Porter asking Wife II to âcover for himâ.
OT, but HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
âBut history suggests there could be a simpler explanation. Call it the GOP presidentâs curse.â
RightâŚhistory is clearly indicating that it couldnât have anything to do with their ideology and economic policies. No. Gotta be dark magic.
Offered without comment:
Finally, when it comes to bad generals, let us remember Trumanâs immortal words about firing MacArthur:
I fired him because he wouldnât respect the authority of the President. I didnât fire him because he was a dumb son of a bitch, although he was, but thatâs not against the law for generals. If it was, half to three-quarters of them would be in jail.
cough bullshit cough
The amazing thing to me is that he thought all of his staff would back him up.
Itâs quite telling that it took maybe 5 minutes before this story leakedâŚ
If by immediate he means months after learning about it.
From Vox âŚ
Kelly knew all of this. Both Holderness and Willoughby were interviewed by the FBI in January 2017 as part of the hiring process for Porter, and White House counsel Don McGahn learned of the allegations the same month. McGahn took no action, nor did he take any action when the ex-girlfriend contacted him in November. The FBI told the White House about the abuse in June 2017, and by the fall it was clear the allegations were preventing Porter from getting a security clearance.
âWhen McGahn informed Kelly this fall about the reason for the security clearance holdup, he agreed that Porter should remain and said he was surprised to learn that the 40-year-old had ex-wives,â the Washington Postâs Josh Dawsey and Beth Reinhard report. âKelly handed Porter more responsibilities to control the flow of information to the president.â
And furthermore âŚ
This isnât the first time that Kelly has defended a sexual abuser working underneath him. In 2016, Kelly testified as a character witness for Todd Shane Tomko, a Marine colonel who pleaded guilty to âsending inappropriate and sexual messages to a female corporal under his command.â He called Tomko âa superb Marine officer.â Then last year, Tomko was arrested on charges of child molestation dating back at least 15 years. âProsecutors told the court Tomko groomed his three victims,â WAVYâs Jason Marks and Kevin Green report. âThey say he made them watch pornography and learn sexual acts as early as age 4. It wasnât until they got older that these acts were carried out.â
Immediate action! If by immediate you mean several months, and by action you mean publicly declaring what a great guy he is.
âitâs a job qualification to work in this White House. Thereâs a pattern of behavior.â

Geez, a couple of weeks in Trumpâs vicinity and everyone comes down with the lying virus⌠Nobodyâs immune.
Not only has Kelly blatantly lied on multiple occasions now, heâs an unfit CoS because he echos and magnifies Trumpâs worst instincts instead of channeling them in a positive direction.
And here is your reason sexual harrassment is not dealt with appropriately in the military.
The WaPo article is really quite good.
Seems like the John Kelly is pretty poor judge of characterâŚ
This isnât the first time that Kelly has defended a sexual abuser working underneath him. In 2016, Kelly testified as a character witness for Todd Shane Tomko, a Marine colonel who pleaded guilty to âsending inappropriate and sexual messages to a female corporal under his command.â He called Tomko âa superb Marine officer.â Then last year,
âKelly instructed staffers to communicate that he cares about domestic violence.â
Groucho: âThe secret of life is honesty and sincerity. If you can fake that, youâve got it made.â
What does he have to gain from lying when the truth is common knowledge? Either Trump brings everyone down to that lever. Or Kelly was always like this. Or he is lying on purpose as a power thing to rub it in. Or all of the above!
