John Kelly goes on the record to confirm several disturbing stories about Trump

[Blisterfinger]

John Kelly, Trump’s longest serving Chief of Staff, has confirmed reporting, as a firsthand witness, that Trump said:• US military members are “suckers” because “there is nothing in it for them”.• American veterans who died in combat are “losers”.• Wounded US veterans shouldn’t be invited to the White House because “it doesn’t look good for me”.Trump’s a monster, and anyone still supporting him really needs to look inward.

Why now? I'm pretty sure Kelly is a liar.

In a thread about General Kelley's confirmation of circulating stories of the disgraced former president's disdain and belittlement of our military, our wounded, our KIA, our military in general...well, there is an interesting piece in this morning's newsfeed urging the other general's who worked directly for Don Trump to voice ---out loud----what they have hinted at in narrow venues. They owe it to America and the military that they served within to be honest about the disdain for our military that they saw and heard from the disgraced Don Trump.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the piece:

"Three years ago, Atlantic Editor in Chief Jeffrey Goldberg wrote that President Donald Trump had referred to soldiers killed in battle as “suckers” and “losers.” Trump immediately called it a “fake story” and said it was a “disgrace” that the magazine was allowed to publish it. This week, John F. Kelly, Trump’s longest-serving White House chief of staff, confirmed the accuracy of that article, as well as that of a book by Peter Baker and Susan Glasser that quoted Trump complaining that being in the presence of military amputees “doesn’t look good for me.”

In a statement released to CNN, Kelly, a retired Marine general who lost his own son in combat in Afghanistan, not only wrote of Trump’s disdain for wounded and fallen veterans but also described Trump as “a person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about. … A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.”

"....he needs to be joined in doing so by two other retired generals who also served in the upper echelons of the Trump administration: former defense secretary Jim Mattis and former national security adviser H.R. McMaster. All three men, who were often referred to as “Trump’s generals” or “the adults in the room,” have made clear that they hold Trump in well-justified disdain.

Kelly, Mattis and McMaster — joined, ideally, by other disaffected Trump appointees, such as former national security adviser John Bolton, former defense secretary Mark T. Esper and former attorney general William P. Barr — need to mount an “Unfit to Serve” tour targeting early-primary states and general-election swing states. They need to spend every free minute over the next year alerting undecided voters to the danger of electing Trump again — before it’s too late."

(CNN) -- John Kelly, the longest-serving White House chief of staff for Donald Trump, offered his harshest criticism yet of the former president in an exclusive statement to CNN.

Kelly set the record straight with on-the-record confirmation of a number of damning stories about statements Trump made behind closed doors attacking US service members and veterans, listing a number of objectionable comments Kelly witnessed Trump make firsthand.

“What can I add that has not already been said?” Kelly said, when asked if he wanted to weigh in on his former boss in light of recent comments made by other former Trump officials. “A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them.’ A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me.’ A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family – for all Gold Star families – on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France.

“A person who is not truthful regarding his position on the protection of unborn life, on women, on minorities, on evangelical Christians, on Jews, on working men and women,” Kelly continued. “A person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about. A person who cavalierly suggests that a selfless warrior who has served his country for 40 years in peacetime and war should lose his life for treason – in expectation that someone will take action. A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.

“There is nothing more that can be said,” Kelly concluded. “God help us.”

In the statement, Kelly is confirming, on the record, a number of details in a 2020 story in The Atlantic by editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, including Trump turning to Kelly on Memorial Day 2017, as they stood among those killed in Afghanistan and Iraq in Section 60 at Arlington National Cemetery, and saying, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”

"What was in it for them?" Unbelievable! Unconscionable! What do you think?

Just like you, Kelly is a liar

"Why isn't he in prison?"

Oh c'mon, prolific poster Flash! You know very well the reason.
He ain't in prison because what you mentioned are RWNJ-MAGA-QANON partisan conspiracy theories.

If you don't think they are ....well, mon ami, prove 'em in a court of law.
Opinion pieces and slanted "news" pieces by the likes of Alex Jones, Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani, or Lauren Boebert.......just ain't proof.

I am mildly convinced you really do know that.

"Unfit to Serve Tour"

The Yin to the Yang ..... of MAGA.

Are you a Trump Sycophant?
If you truly are....well, my friend, that ain't cool.

Your TDS aint cool. You should calm down.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Why now? I'm pretty sure Kelly is a liar.

No you're not.

 

[Blisterfinger]

Quite a difference here. Can you see it?

No you're not.

No you're not.

Trump Devoted Sycophancy is a thing.
Everybody can see it.
Why can't you?
Sycophant?

No they didn't TDS wasn't being used on a regular basis until December of 2016

There is a lot of difference between these two men

 

[Chillicothe]

"Your TDS aint cool. You should calm down."

And then an F-U?
Why the anger, Finger?
This is just the internet.
And you are using a fake name, so it can't be personal.
Hence, one can believe that you just carry this grievance mindset, and that all folks who aren't Trump Sycophants must be out to get you.
We aren't.
You are safe.

But sycophancy to an American celebrity is, well, it is icky. To say the least.
It's unmanly. To say the least.
You can be better. You can be more adult-like.

TDS = Trump's Devoted Sycophants.
Everybody knows that. So be an authentic individual and own it.

But, on a larger view, and more to the point of this long thread: General Kelly saw stuff while he worked for Trump that he thought was disrespectful, dismissive, and wrong towards our KIA, our WIA, and our military in general. So did Generals Milley, McMasters, Votel, McChrystal, and Allen. And they didn't like what they saw and heard from their Commander-in-Chief.

And neither do all patriotic Americans. Most especially men --and women ---who have served. Such as myself.

We all can get behind an "Unfit to Serve Tour"....if those men will implement it.
