John Kelly is not a Trump fan

[MDC 7,440]

Tardcore has posted this Robert Gates quote multiple times all over the Ukraine thread. I guess we’re supposed to take Gates’ word for it but disregard Kelly.

There are times that Trump would help himself by like 10 thousand percent total by just occasionally shutting up. 

85 percent of the time, Trump is legitimately being openly persecuted and the activist MSM and most of Big Social Media are just trying to spin anything possible to use him as a deflection point for Team Blue's horrific public policies, corruption and scandals. 

But about 15 percent of the time, Trump is just a total imbecile. Do I believe 2020 POTUS was a "free and fair" election? No, I don't. I believe both sides cheated as much as they could. But the DNC and Team Blue simply had more horses in that race to do it. Instead of just shutting up, gathering his assets and making a clean run at 2024 ( then go on a revenge tour later during his 2nd term, albeit with that gap), he had to make everything harder than it had to be. 

Biden's a mess. Biden has said and done things that will have a devastating negative impact on the US military for generations to come. However it's a separate issue from Trump being totally exhausting. 

Look at Sean Spicer and Huckabee Sanders, Trump's insanity probably shaved off decades off their lifespan in turmoil and stress. 

This is like a new NFL GM who walks onto a team with huge problems. You already have big problems, don't take each situation and make it worse. Your job, at minimum, is to not cause a crash and burn for stuff that is already on the edge. If nearly the entire activist MSM is gunning for you, don't give them any ammo to use against you. 

All Trump had to do in 2016 was say nothing. Say literally zero. Let Kellyanne Conway run the country. Then when he got reelected, then say whatever he wants. Go for broke then. But Trump can't do that. He just can't stop himself from always trying to be the total center of attention at all times. 

BINGO!

All Kelly did is, at best, reaffirm that Trump is an a-hole. But I didn’t hear him saying what he got wrong.  Now the other guy that we are comparing him to,  ….well he’s got a bucket full of Fock ups. And he’s an a-hole as well. It’s 2:30 a-hole.

Absolutely , I can separate McCain the war veteran with McCain the politician . Like Trump , McCain was a vulgarian and also had a major role in the Steele dossier . He much like Pierre Delecto were consumed by jealousy that Donald accomplished what they couldn’t. Now I wouldn’t have spoken about mccain but I don’t have a problem with Donald doing it after all he’s endured

Good times back then . Everything was much more innocent 

Quote

Madonna kicked off her [article id="1587065"]Sticky & Sweet Tour[/article] in the U.K. Saturday, and stirred up a beehive of controversy by comparing Republican presidential nominee John McCain to Adolf Hitler in a video montage during the show.

During the song "Get Stupid," Madonna flashed images of McCain alongside photos of Hitler and brutal Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, as well as images of destruction and global warming, according to British paper The Times.

By contrast, in the next segment of the performance, she used the image of Democratic nominee Barack Obama alongside pictures of John Lennon, Mahatma Ghandi and Al Gore.

How anyone can be so slavishly devoted to Trump after Kelly confirmed what we all knew was true to begin with.

Trump dodged the draft.  He hates our military.  He actually has contempt for our military just like he has contempt for his slavish fans.

All you who think Trump cares an iota about what happens to you or your family will feel really foolish when Trump is thankfully gone from the spotlight.  Trump cares about Trump, nothing else.

But keep carrying the water for this dumb, silver spoon, woman abusing rich guy.  Essentially everyone who's worked for him tells us what a horrible person he is.

You can not be ruled a draft dodger if you were never drafted. Also there are no such thing as loopholes. Just clear things up

[The Real timschochet 6,777]

This thread is a microcosm of what we are facing as a nation. There is no news, no evidence that will turn Trump’s supporters away from him. No matter what happens they will find excuses, or blame Democrats, or both. 

There is nothing to be done with these people. I still think most of them are good people, and that they have been duped, But at a certain point you must take responsibility for having been duped. The only thing the rest of us can do is try to beat them at the ballot box. I sure hope we can.

Ahh I remember this amazing article. Some of trumps famous lies include I’m building a wall I think stated something like 11000 times  complete lie cause some of it was a fence.  Another one of his lies they listed was there were so many cheeseburgers. They must have been a mile high

meanwhile you support a plagiarist and guy who even lied about why he was running for president. (Good people on both sides hoax)

I was quoting the fact that the inflation is because of trump. That is all. Read the context. Inflation was cause of Covid. How both presidents handled the financial has flat garbage. However when trump did it there was zero data or options. Biden doubled down and is still doing it

Just asking where Wutaboutism Pilot got the idea that liberals said worse things about McCain. I’m guessing these things were either related to his political positions / work in Congress, which is fair game, or said by lefties well below the position of major party candidate. Dude lies a lot.

Not hard to figure out what’s going on here, having all of these former military guys speaking out now, years later. It’s not going to wipe away the disaster in Afghanistan and Biden disrespecting the families of the dead. Those are visuals and devastating. 

You’re right, it’s not hard to see what’s going on.

These guys are realizing Trump could actually come back.

So they were going to hold their tongues out of respect for the office.

But now that they realize they need to speak up to avert disaster, they are doing the right thing and making sure the American people know what a dangerous piece of sh1t this person really is.

I'll wager you weren't paying that much less four years ago.  It's amazing how the american president controls the energy market.

Also did you know that 2023 will have the largest domestic production of oil in history?  Funny because conservatives tell us that Biden cancelled all domestic production.

Well, we were told how dangerous he was before he got elected. I don’t think he was based on the body of work. Funny Putin wasn’t invading Ukraine back then. Unless you’re upset about bombing Putins aircraft In Syria? Or taking out terrorists?

The discussion you started was that Kelly, a guy who worked closely with Trump, wasn’t speaking about anything other than him being an ahole.

It is very it goes much beyond him being the world’s biggest - “A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law” and “God help us”

The amount of people who have worked with him who then slam him is very, very long.
