Donald Trump orders, "Roll over Kelly",
So he does and Trump scratches his belly,
"They thought you were large,
That somehow you'd take charge,
But I've turned your resolve in to jelly."

So Trump tweeted out “whoa Nellie”,
Obama never called John Kelly,
Then lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies,
Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies,
Then he sat down to watch Fox on the telly.

Had wished Donald’s vanity gone
But he looked at that hair
And began to despair
And said, “making this work is not on.”

I believe Kelly is an honorable man. And I won't add a Kelly limerick.

He lost a son in war. Nothing is worse than losing a child.

I believe that Kelly is trying everything possible to save America from Trump's insanity.

I can't explain all of his remarks. Perhaps he's stretching his imagination in order to, to some degree, make Trump's inhumanity acceptable to a degree.

Nonetheless, I'm glad that Kelly is there. He just may be the only person who is stopping Trump from launching nukes. Think what you will of him. But that one issue is enough to forgive him for whatever views he may or may not believe and has voiced.

Beyond that, believe what you will.

But composing limericks about Kelly is as dishonorable. It's in a league with any of the garbage that spews from Trump's mouth.

If his mission was to hold the worst of Trump in check, it's quite obvious he's failed at this point.

He's dug himself into the same hole that Trump has, and dirtied himself with the same mud Trump has.

He needs to save whatever face is left and resign.

He's intentionally lying about the Congresswoman.

He's intentionally deflecting attention from the military action and orders that caused these deaths.

He thinks a twenty-something pregnant mother of two should feel the same way over losing her sargent husband as he did when he lost his son, even though he was in his fifties, had been in this career for decades, and took comfort in the knowledge that every high-ranking official knew of his family's loss.

My father served 2 years in WW2. When he died, we received a certificate "signed" by Obama, even though it was 60 years later. It meant a lot to us that his service was recognized. Kelly said that acknowledgment by the president doesn't matter to the Gold Star family. It does.

Thanking my father for his service..WWII and Korea, 16 years a Marine, died in 1958. Got the letter in 1965. Yes, it means something.

Kelly seems to think no Americans except him and his pals have skin in this game.

He threw away whatever honor he had, to support the agenda of the dangerous idiot in the White House, a man who has insulted, defamed, or outright ignored our KIA soldiers.

... and I am truly sorry for his loss.

But he's a politician now. And his blatant, outright lie about congresswoman Wilson was dishonorable and despicable. He told the lie as an eye witness to the event. It wasn't something he "heard" from someone else. It was a politicaly motivated lie, pure and simple. That deserves zero respect.

He didn't have to do it. He didn't have to call the press conference. He could have remained silent. He chose to bring dishonor upon himself.

He's not a decent man.

Oct 2017

Flagellation (Latin flagellum, 'whip'), flogging, whipping or lashing is the act of beating the human body with special implements such as whips, lashes, rods, switches, the cat o' nine tails, the sjambok, etc. Typically, flogging is imposed on an unwilling subject as a punishment; however, it can also be submitted to willingly, or performed on oneself, in religious or sadomasochistic contexts.

You're talking about an honorable U.S. General who lost a son in war, and is trying his best to prevent a lunatic from getting us into a nuclear holocaust.

His remarks about the horrible incident which is soiling the country were inappropriate.

But please don't spit on a man who spent most of his life defending America.

21. After Video Refutes Kellys Charges, Congresswoman Raises Issue of Race
Fri Oct 20, 2017, 06:45 PM
Oct 2017

Video of a 2015 speech delivered by Representative Frederica S. Wilson revealed Friday that John F. Kelly, the White House chief of staff, misrepresented her remarks when he accused her of bragging about securing $20 million for a South Florida F.B.I. building and twisting President Barack Obama’s arm.

Mr. Kelly, escalating a feud between Mr. Trump and Ms. Wilson, had cast the congresswoman on Thursday as a publicity-seeking opportunist. However, the video, released by The Sun Sentinel, a newspaper in South Florida, showed that during her nine-minute speech, Ms. Wilson never took credit for getting the money for the building, only for helping pass legislation naming the building after two fallen federal agents.
