I had thought Kelly would keep himself above this sort of thing but he's drunk the Fool Ade
Who are you referencing? Nobody has attempted to defend this guy or Trump in this thread.
You sound like you're permanently triggered by Donald Trump.
Take it easy and at least wait until there's somebody disagreeing with you to start with the pissing and moaning.
I agree with this. He is making the same mistake many intelligent people around trump has done. He think by playing the game he can control him and in the long run get his way. The problem is someone as poisoning as trump will overwhelm you and before you know you are lost in his tangleI think he still is but the sad truth about joining Trump's toxic office is that your are required to lie and spin. Remember, Trump values loyalty far more than ethics/integrity and if you want to stick around you better be loyal, even at personal cost.
I can be wrong here but I think Kelly is a net positive for Trump's team and he may feel that he has to make some sacrifices for the greater good, which is to prevent Trump from doing something very stupid. Just my theory, but he strikes me as more intelligent and grounded than most of the other buffoons Trump chose to surround himself with.
What are you even talking about?Probably you....
Yup. It was you.
Or I'll intentionally jump the gun in the exact same manner they do to make my point about that very problem..... exactly like I did. Try to keep up.
lolI don't follow politics
I think there is a noble angle to this too. Let's imagine that Kelly truly believes that he can do immense good by serving the president. Falling on the sword when required might be the price to pay, but in one sense it is noble.I agree with this. He is making the same mistake many intelligent people around trump has done. He think by playing the game he can control him and in the long run get his way. The problem is someone as poisoning as trump will overwhelm you and before you know you are lost in his tangle
I was just about to post this.
LOL @ people thinking that Kelly was supposed to be "one of the adults in the room" RE reigning in Trump.
Nobody in Washington who actually has integrity wants anything to do with this administration.

I realized Kelly was a complete POS the moment he defended, rather than condemned, Trump, for having the audacity to use Kelly's slain son to try and give himself cover for his lies about the actions of former presidents.
Kelly threw his own dead son under the bus in the cause of naked partisanism. What a vile human being. This is a great example of the sort of profound soullessness and lack of honor one must possess in order to serve in the Trump WH.
people are seriously freaking out, and using terms like 'profound soullessness' and 'lack of honor' over this?
i'm sure you used such unique phrasing when discussing Benghazi, no doubt
Lol. Probably could've phrased that a little differently.lol
Are you lost? Do you need directions?
I’m just confused by the past two years of American politics. Does no one have staffers that do even basic fact checking? You can’t tell me everyone writes their own speeches and press releases, so how is it that so many mistakes get made? I get that intentional lying can paint the other person in a certain light, but this is an age where everyone can access information to check out stories like this. So how do people expect to get away with it?
I don't feel he 'sold out' his dead son personallyI wasn't even commenting on the Kelly allegation in the OP. That seemed like a condemnation over semantics. I also wasn't referring to the actions on the ground that led to the Niger deaths.
I was criticizing the personal conduct of a father willing to sell out his dead son rather than defy and condemn his boss's vulgar exploitation of said son's death.
So WTF does Benghazi have to do with that?
