General John Kelly has made his choice.

[Foamfollower]

If he doesn't resign within the next 24 hours, he will forever be known as the first American Nazi General.

1. Kelly is in an extremely difficult place. I would rather have Kelly

than not managing the out of control insanity of this WH.

[6000eliot]

9. He's doing a bang-up job so far!

[tblue37]

16. I think HE feels he and the other generals have to prevent Trump from starting

a war--or rather from starting a war they don't agree with.

But as Homeland Security chief, he was all in with Trump's racist deportation program and his Muslim band, so I don't see him as particularly innocent.

[democratisphere]

24. No one in this administration is innocent. There are degrees

of loyalty to this most heinous creature and his henchpeople.

2. He may force Bannon out, then he will earn his pay

[Foamfollower]

4. Gorka must go, too

The entire administration must have the Nazis purged or he is forever stained with Nazism.

[VMA131Marine]

3. We might never know, but

Kelly and McMaster may be the only ones in that WH keeping Trump from nuking North Korea. If he doesn't quit, I'm going to hope that's the reason why.

[Mrs. Overall]

23. I am wondering the same thing--Kelly could be preventing even worse

actions by trump.

[Catmusicfan]

5. I see what you are thinking but their are people who hope he doesn't because someone needs to

Try and keep some control. I use to think Kelly Mc Masters and Mattis thought along the lines until I heard one of the pundits (I forget who.) Explain that in the VERY early days of the Admin it was agreed that one of them would stay in the country close to trump at all times.

I am torn after hearing that pundit. Those 3 must have saw something that scared them enough to keep to that deal.

17. See my post #16 above. nt

[Initech]

6. You either support America or you support the Nazis.

If you support the Nazis, I don't support you.

[dalton99a]

19. Bingo.

[uponit7771]

7. +1, the same for the rest of them ... if they want to stand next to a white supremacist they have no

... one to blame but themselves

[madaboutharry]

8. General Kelly may be the one preventing all hell from breaking loose.

Gen. Kelly might be our only hope of Trump not going full Mussolini, though he looked rather defeated this afternoon.

[Hoyt]

10. Not until Trump shows up with a black eye will I believe Kelly is trying to control Trump.

[Bonhomme Richard]

11. He will be our version of Franz Halder n/t

[JI7]

12. Not so simple. If kelly goes then mcmaster will probably go

And bannon and gorka may encourage use of nukes.

[Foamfollower]

13. Pre-emptive strike orders are illegal

and every general knows it.

Trump CANNOT order a nuke strike on NK.

Nobody in the command structure would carry out such an order and it would likely trigger a 25th amendment meeting.

[JI7]

14. Therr is already enough reason for 25th or impeachment

The republican party had shown themselves to be cowards

[grantcart]

18. Ted Lieu says he can

Lieu is a colonel in the Air Force reserves

politifact has an article (on phone cannot link)

[Fresh_Start]

15. I'm calling Goresuch the Nazi's Supreme Court Justice

and Sessions the Nazi's Attorney General.

[dalton99a]

20. +1

[bluedigger]

21. In Basic Training I was taught to salute the rank, not the man wearing it.

I suspect Kelly is doing his duty, as he sees fit, by serving the office of the Presidency, rather than the man himself. Or maybe we're both just rationalizing. Hard to say...

[Bettie]

22. But then he can get a foam finger

with a giant swastika on it and scream "I'm NUMBER ONE!".

I doubt he'll resign. None of the people in that creature's orbit have souls or morals or lines they won't cross.

Oh or love for our country and it's values.
