I suspect a lot of Cassandras told John Kelly not to take the job because Trump is a sucking black hole of character, but he didn't listen to them. And now he's a Cassandra himself. He could talk to the people who warned him and figure out where he went wrong, but I'll place a $100 bet he's not going to do that. Better to let the country detonate than admit liberals were correct about one thing.

ItтАЩs galling. Patriotism only goes so far. But youтАЩd think someone who sacrificed a son to the country would feel standing up to Trump to be insignificant by comparison. And yet.
"I was silent.Then they came for me" This quote is very shortened.I don't remember who said it.But it is chilling(regarding WW2) It kind of sums up today, doesn't it!
It does sum up todayтАЩs political environment. The people who know that quote arenтАЩt the ones who need to know it, as usual. If Trump gets voted in again, there will be some very unhappy Trump voters once the sh*t hits the fan and they get fouled along with everyone else. SarahтАЩs recent Focus Group with Bill Kristol and a gaggle of Jewish Trump voters comes to mind, as but one small example among a big pool of stooges.
Steven Colbert interviewed Jonathan Karl not long ago.Karl said Trump has been a total failure.Why Colbert asked? Because everybody who comes in contact with Trump has had their life up ended or ruined.(but not Trump) Trump succeeds while all others fail. Thats really sums up Trump perfectly.And his view of success.
The failure of Trump sycophants to notice this obvious trend line is baffling. Still they persist. If we make it out of this, future social psychologists will be studying the Trump phenomenon for decades. Eons even.

Its galling that anyone thinks that those who sacrificed their lives in every war are "saps and suckers".
That alone should have given Kelley the spine he needed to speak out. His тАЬhonorтАЭ is mysteriously MIA.

In the history books this could parallel the 1850 s
