About calling Kelly resigning.

I saw how he hung his head. I understand the calls but I remember a pundit a out a week or 2 ago said the Kelly Mattis and McMasters made an agreement that no matter how they have to travel for their positions out of the country 1 of them would always be in the country close to Trump. What is it that they saw that basically made them make sure 1 of them always remained in the country.

So yes if I had not heard that I would be screaming resign too but right now that pundits words is really ringing in my head.

1. Twitler is so far off the rails that I'd actually feel better knowing there was at least 1 sane

7. Anyone who takes a job working as Trumps lackey

Is not sane. I'm tired of this assumption that because they were generals they are exempted from being stained by their allegiance to this man.

4. I disagree, I was watching his body language carefully. He did a double take. He look shocked.

I'm not saying I like the guy but he was very, very uncomfortable.

13. Wow, I didn't get that impression at all & I've got a pretty finely-tuned bullshit detector

Believe me, I'm no fan of Kelly and I'm very uncomfortable having active military so close to the president, but these are dangerous times. He looked unhappy, uncomfortable, and looked like he was wondering how he was going to handle the shitstorm to come.

9. He should be marshaling the cabinet to invoke the 25th

He should be pressuring Pence to invoke the 25th. If Pence doesn't agree, he should be leading the cabinet in tendering their resignations as a group. Is there any way to get that message to him?

How do we know that these "leaders" will keep the Cheeto Groper from pushing the nuclear button? They haven't done a thing so far to indicate that they have a spine.
