Deflect, deflect, deflect. That seems to be their entire game plan.

(20,998 posts)...order to the tRump*ian chaos and protect and defend American institutions from their current tRump*ian assault. Nothing could be further from the truth. Kelly* is a sycophant, a liar and a willing participant in the tRump*esque freak show masquerading as Executive governance.

What chojces did McMaster have when he spouted Trumpian gobbedlygook ?
If your'e a white hat, are there good choices ? To serve a monster in an attempt to protect your nation from the worst instincts of the monster, you end up eroding the confidence of a nation.
Only time will tell who Kelly is really in service to. I personally have no frickin' idea.

(4,407 posts)All these unnecessary wars apparently brought up some bad ones. I assume Mattis and McMaster will turn out no better than Flynn and Kelly. They have joined with Trump. Period.

(58,785 posts)of self delusion, of personal corruption and dishonesty, of knowledge and experience, and of the kind of bad judgment that arises from those.
All these men are different, and Kelly's general reputation suggested a real level of competence that these behaviors are belying. He has done a lot of what he came in for, just a couple that fascist whisperers Gorka and Bannon are out, and others, are out. We know some competence is real, that his ability to direct Trump is severely limited, and control nonexistent. But morally, ethically, intellectually he's looking like an empty suit.
It's always shocking to me, no matter how often, to realize that people who live big lives with great power and range of experience can still turn out to also be as petty and stupid as the mean spirited, abysmally ignorant neighbor you never want to get into conversation with twice.

(4,407 posts)Nothing will redeem those men in history because of who they chose to fight for. Same for anyone who is part of this Administration that is hell bent on destroying democratic institutions.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)flaws and crimes against our nation of people fighting for very wrong things -- for mostly no bigger reason than because it's what "people like me" are doing.
Such a pathetically paltry substitute for intellect, morals, and even religious precepts that it makes those who'd be doing it for money seem like they're operating on a higher level.
Reminds me, last night someone quoted a past Texas politician something to the effect that if "you think they're bad you should see their constituents."
