Former White House chief of staff John Kelly threw his support behind fellow Trump administration alum Jim Mattis as he takes heat from the President for decrying the President’s “abuse of executive authority” in a scathing statement.
“The President did not fire him. He did not ask for his resignation,” Kelly told the Post. “The President has clearly forgotten how it actually happened or is confused.”
Oh, it’s not confusion. It’s an entire lifetime spent creating a narcissistic fantasy. He literally does not know the difference between reality and fantasy. This is why he is a pathological liar. He is profoundly mentally defective/ill.
Let the firing squad be circular or maybe moebius.
" Jim Mattis, the world’s most overrated General.”
I’m surprised such a Lincoln scholar as 45* would have forgotten General McClellen.
McClellan was really, really good at parades. Trumplethinskin would’ve loved him.
Another shoe thrown… Or in the case, the boot of a Marine General.
“The president is confused…”
I love the richness of understatement.
…but it’s not enough.
A voice heard (John Kelly) from the halcyon days of early in Trump’s administration when the only thing Trump was worried about was Infrastructure Week #9.
I know all about Kelly…
I’ll take his Mattis defense.
tRump didn’t forget. It’s makes him feel like a man when he says he’s fired someone because he’s not a man. He’s a construct. He knows it and we’re all laughing.
“For BunkerBitch”
Here is the song to go along with that phrase (or something close to it). I wish the protesters would all sing this together outside the WH. It’s actually quite good.

Trump’s brain, such as it is, must be riddled with syphilis.
Of course Kelly is right about this, but while we are clearing up whether Mattis got fired or resigned could you comment on how correct he was about EVERYTHING ELSE he said?
Exactly…no accolades for the Former Chief Enabler of Staff.
“Empty barrels, empty barrels!”
And we still do not forget.
“probably the only thing Barack Obama & I have in common is that we both had the honor of firing Jim Mattis, the world’s most overrated General.”
Except that Obama…
…didn’t fire Mattis:
Technically, Barack Obama did not fire James Mattis.
Instead, Mattis is reported to have retired from the role of Commander of the United States Central Command in March 2013.
In his memoirs, Leon Panetta – Obama’s defence secretary between 2011 and 2013 – states that Mattis and the Obama administration didn’t always see eye-to-eye, especially when it came to Mattis wanting to increase the US presence in Syria.
So while there may have been some tension, officially Mattis did retire, only to be brought out of his retirement by Trump.
That, and Hemorrhoids…
