Presidential historian Michael Beschloss said Kelly’s comments about Trump, when compared to previous White House chiefs of staff, “suggest a lack of respect for the sitting president of a kind that we haven’t seen before.”
Seems fair since Trump has had a lack of respect for the Presidency or the majority of Americans since day 1.
By really Kelly can fuck off. He went to work for Trump with his eyes wide open. he fully embraces the racist , bigoted, pollution agenda of Trump so he can enjoy his reputation going into the gutter like everyone else Trump touches. He gets zero sympathy from me.

DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS?
I was reminded of this :)
"Do you suggest the President of France would present the Queen of England with a diseased puppy?
Trump will not have succeeded until every damn thing Ben Rhodes ever touched is undone.
I can’t ban you and there is no ignore function here. So I do my best to ignore your vile posts. Never speak to me or reply to me again.
It’s cute how you just skip around and never acknowledge your buffoonry. Though I am curious why the hard-on against Rhodes since that’s a new one to me.

We’re in the run up to a war with Iran, so anyone involved with the nuke deal must be villianized. Trump is going to decertify the deal in the next couple weeks so Malathor is just hopping on that train.
It’s odd how Putin stooge Trump is going after Russia’s close ally, Iran. Putin must be playing that 5d chess.
Occam’s Razor answer: Trump is an incurious buffoon who doesn’t know shit about foreign policy, but does know that “being tough on the Mullahs in Iran” plays to his base.

Funny, because I would have thought that putting restrictions/sanctions back in place would draw Iran closer to Russia. What do I know though? I still struggle with regular chess.
Yeah, it turns out that pretty much everybody hates Ronny Jackson:
Leading to the interesting question of how he made it through multiple administrations.

Mike Pence is part of the deep state.
Its a fair question. Even given the fact Trump is shit midas , if half these allegations are true (and they are unproven which is worth saying) I think we should be putting some of this stuff at the door of Obama as well.
If they are not true, well the doctor would be owed an apology and more in my view. I feel more than a little uncomfortable seeing a mans reputation destroyed like this with , so far, just hearsay and gossip.

Has anyone from the WHMU come forward to defend him? I’m surprised he isn’t fighting the allegations more, he basically had one statement saying they were false. Then he withdrew and now is losing his position as the President’s physician, so I would think he would be fighting it a lot harder.
I get what you are saying but I think thats the reverse of the way it should be. He was unqualified for the job of VA that enough should have been enough, although it hasn’t stopped Trump’s other incompetent appointments.
The drip drip of allegations on top of that are what I think appear, so far, unfair. Regardless of whether Dr.Jackson is a Republican or Democrat I think there should be a measure of respect shown to the man. I dont think him withdrawing should be regarded as an admission of guilt either.

Oh yeah, he should have never been put up for the position and his lack of qualification should have been more than enough to tank his nomination.
No respect to Trump appointees. Not to any of them. Whatever their past accomplishments, they lost all merit when they accepted the appointment.
Trump isn’t going after Iran, he’s going after something Obama helped create.
