From 6/6/2017
"Would you let me finish once?" Kelly asked during the tense back and forth.

"Excuse me?" Harris replied. "I'm asking the questions."




This isn't the 1st I've heard of Gen Kelly's racism.
I've generally dismissed it, until now.

but he has shown how far up he is trump's a$$, after he went after the congresswoman and he never apologized to her. Lawrence O'Donnell has his number both raised in Boston and Kelly is a racist SOB.

How dare he go after Senator Kamala

I do recall his demeaning exchange with Kamala & that's when I first heard talk of his racism.

8. Someone in that twitter feed referred to Kelly as "Blue Falcon"

In military life, it is basically "a supposed comrade whose actions harm his friends, often for his own benefit."
Hmmm.

It's not difficult to imagine what Kelly is whispering in Trump's ear.

..doesn't that all conflict with.Kelly's military position?

Maybe its a fine line between complicity & protecting the USA from "enemies foreign & domestic."
I 'd like to see a conversation about this somewhere.
I don't know much about military law & how it may or may not apply in this situation.
Hmmm

Is he obligated to act against them?

I don't see how a US general can be so close to Trump & not know of Kremlin deals.
Just wondering how that may be deemed a conflict.
