Former WH COS John Kelly has told friends, about Trump: The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though it's more pathetic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life."

I doubt we will see him come forward at all. They are all cowards.

(1,733 posts)And his public silence on Trump has been pretty fucking cowardly for a manly so-called warrior.
Afraid of big, tough Cadet Bone Spurs, John?

(51,584 posts)I am still pissed off at him for lying about the FL congresswoman and the widow of the soldier. He showed his true colors...racist misogynist.
No credit to rats who finally speakup as their ship is sinking. I still remember his disgusting lying on the black female Florida representative speaking on behalf of Gold Star wife about suspicious murder of her husband overseas.

(1,697 posts)Speaking to his friends is not enough. Of course, he wouldn't change m/any minds of trump supporters, but he would go on record. He should have done it long ago.
Love these so-called patriots.

(31,261 posts)Kelly actively enabled Trump, right up until Trump started going around him and ignoring him. At best Kelly is a craven coward.
Who is the more foolish? The fool? Or the Fool that follows him?

(309 posts)should have been while being the COS. Like exiting and standing up and telling tRump here's my resignation I quit. I've had a handful of really bad authoritarian bosses, cruel bosses, men and women. I would take it so far then, pissed, I'd approach and say I quit. I'd get in my car and leave. Freedom!

I'm sorry. You're no profile in courage, sir.
Donna Edwards directed a similar critique toward Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE) earlier today. "Let's not give Ben sase a Profile in Courage award" because he was caught telling supporters on the phone, I believe, that trump is this and trump is that and selling out our allies and mocking evangelicals and flirting with white supremacists and "kissing dictators' butts" and the way he treats women and spends money like a drunken sailor and didn't take COVID seriously. Blah-blah-blah. Talk is cheap, Sasse. Where were you up til a few hours ago (besides with your lips glued to trump's fill-in-the-body-part-here)?
If it were up to me, YOU'D be out on YOUR fill-in-the-body-part-here, too, Sasse. And RIGHT FREAKIN' NOW.

Blue_true
(31,261 posts)He rose to Marine General and took several oaths of allegiance to this country. The country is under threat from Trump, if Kelly really meant what he promised in those oaths, then the October surprise will be him whole-heartedly endorsing Joe Biden and getting Mattis to join him.

(5,693 posts)Kelly is a piece of garbage, too. If he had any character at all, he would have spoken out in public long ago. He had enough clout to not just be mowed under by the Trump juggernaut for speaking out.

(321 posts)he can thank his parents for that. Looks
like he handed down to his kids as well.
They appear to be all wlking screw balls.
