After seeing Kelly on all the news channels, it seems like it’s just regular old “man-splaining”. He’s telling us how HE felt when it happened to HIM and therefore, that’s the only way all of us should also feel. :roll It seems like we should each be entitled to our own feelings AND the feelings of a soldier’s WIFE would be different than those of a soldier’s FATHER. But, alas we must bow to General Kelly. :roll
Just saw tonight (but haven’t confirmed) that President Obama may have called Kelly’s son’s wife – the widow – after his son was killed in action. If true, it’s another blow to Kelly’s so-called reputation as a man of honor.
Your tweet is absolutely spot-on, JO’B! Today, contrary to the way he has been portrayed by the mainstream media pundits, Gen. John Kelly revealed to me that he is not a man of character and integrity. He came across as just another of Trump’s sycophants who would do anything, including demeaning themselves, just to protect Trump. He is indeeed “reveling in” being part of Trump’s trusted inner circle. He may be a Marine Four-Star-General, but he had absolutely no shame in viciously attacking a black Congresswoman who dared expose Trump’s callousness and disrespect of a widow of a service man who was KIA.
Sadly, I agree with your well-chosen words, nath. If you didn’t catch Lawrence O’Donnell’s segment last night (where he said kelly – whom I didn’t fully listen to, my choice – called the Congresswoman “an empty barrel” – OMG), please watch it for the “full grasp” of that former general’s racism. Kelly’s gonna rot in hell with the rest of ’em, and we don’t have to lower ourselves even wishing that on them. They earned the darkest parts of hell.
PBO: We created jobs for the jobless, covered more families with health insurance, made America a more respected leader around the world pic.twitter.com/DyTVItxMv9
Yep. He told everyone repeatedly last year. If all registered democrats had listened and voted for HRC, we would be living in very different times. Hard to do anything when the horse has escaped the barn through the door that we left open. Hard, but not impossible. 2018 midterms will be the receipts for all of the talking, protesting, marching etc.
President Barack Obama is so, so stupendous. We Love Him so much. What the heck did we DO to deserve this man, this tour de force who worked 24/7 for eight years to make life better? Rain or shine – he kept on ploughing through the filthy dirty mire that is GOPKOCH.
“Don’t sit this one out!” said PBO.
Right now the MSN headline is: “White Nationalist Accuses Florida Protest of Stifling Free Speech.”
Can you believe THAT’s the headline after Neo-Nazi Spencer spoke. Why wasn’t the headline “Floridians Stand Up To Hate”. ??
Who paid who?
After the end of PBO’s mind blowing performance as the greatest statesman America always wanted but had never had, all the other side
could do is drop way, way far down into the depths of hell and try to drag us with them. They’d like us to forget the last 8 years but we won’t. Republicans want a chaotic Third World country where they can do whatever the hell they want. And Trump is playing his part by turning everything into a food fight so there’s no order, no rule, no protocol, no norms. So what’s he got going for him. He’s well effed in the head, with
no compass, no heart, and no future. Tickety tock.
SO GOOD TO SEE OUR LAST REAL PRESIDENT WITH REAL VALUES AT THE PODIUM…HE IS SO MISSED!..TICKETY TOCK…THESE TRUMP FOLLOWERS HAVE CHOSEN THE DARK SIDE OF THE SUN…THEY’LL ENJOY NOT HAVING ANY LIGHTS ON..THINKING THEY CAN HIDE THEIR DECEITFUL AGENDA…I KNOW I HAVE TRIED TO CHANGE THEM…IF THEY LOVE HATRED..THEY WILL WALLOW IN IT..THEY ARE A DIFFERENT KIND OF ANIMAL..IN FACT I HAVE SEEN ANIMALS ACT ALOT BETTER………MY HEALTH IS REALLY FAILING..SO I DON’T PROMISE TOMORROWS ANYMORE…..
Rachel speaking of the inexplicable reasons why the US govt banned Chad people from travelling to the US – Chad then withdrew from Niger where they were fighting ISIS – just a week before 4 Americans were killed in Niger.
Then we discover Exxon Mobil (run by the current S of S) owes billions to Chad because of royalty arguments.
100% of this administration is based on payback to anyone who dared to argue with the current members of same and/or didn’t allow them to rape and pillage all and any resources. Don’t believe that Tillerson will resign any time soon – same goes for Kelly – they are all bred from the same seed.
Lawrence O’Donnell is responding to Kelly’s calling the Congresswoman “empty barrel”. Kelly may appear amiable but is nothing but Trump’s front man handler for those with sensitive tolerance for political correctness. Kelly is there to make Trump’s vulgarity palatable to those with little appetite for roughness or brashness. I was never in the camp of those praising Kelly as the savior of the Trump administration.
My simple rule. If you are wiling to ‘serve’ this pos, you too are a pos. Zero redemption for those who are in this corruptest regime of any time any where, including those ‘catholic leaders’, who shamelessly posed for a photo op with the scum.
THIS!!!!! Lawrence is the only one who had the guts to defend Ms Wilson. The remainder of MSM is totally ignoring how Kelley denigrated Congresswoman Wilson. Kelly should have stop talking after he talked about losing his son.
A schoolgirl aged 11 has been honoured as “America’s top young scientist” for inventing a quick, low-cost test to detect lead-contaminated water.
Gitanjali Rao was selected from 10 finalists who had spent three months collaborating with scientists to develop their ideas.
Her device uses carbon nanotubes to detect the presence of lead.
Thousands of US water systems are reportedly contaminated by lead.
Gitanjali’s invention was inspired by the scandal in Flint, Michigan, where officials are facing charges including manslaughter over water contamination in 2014-15, she told Business Insider.
You’re stunned? Were you stunned when @realDonaldTrump used Gold Star families to lie and take a shot at Obama? When he attack the Khans?When he mocked John McCain’s service? Mocked the handicapped? Bragged about sexual assault?Refused to denounce the KKK? We were, sir. Deeply. https://t.co/wBcMEzZin6
Gen. Kelly: "It stuns me that a member of Congress would have listened in on that conversation … I thought 'at least that was sacred'" pic.twitter.com/Dooa0VzZgT
Any respect I might have had for Gen. Kelly is gone. Yes I have sympathy he lost his son, but the attack on the Congresswoman was a disgrace, and calling Trump brave is alot of bull shit. It stuns me that a man who everyone has such high regards for would stoop so low with that speech. Maybe the empty barrel is Gen. Kelly.
Indeed, bella. I echo everything you and others have said. LOD knocked it out of the park tonight. Supported by the facts that they both grew up in same area of Boston. Liked how LOD tied all that together to lend lots of credibility.
******NW, THANK YOU for this thread and all the tweets. Had to miss PO because tonight was our district Dem meeting. Wonderfully refreshing to read all those tweets. Like old times! 🙂 🙂
Speaking of our district meeting. We had a room full, overflowing, in fact. Five or six new folks. Lots of good things going on. We are making a difference. Our speaker was a (young) woman who is running for the seat that John Duncan is retiring from. What a dynamo!
Only white men have the right to be heard in trump’s america. Goal is to take back all and any hard earned rights. One state at a time they are removing people’s right to vote.
That was awesome. I refer to Kelly as the teen who threw rocks at busloads of black students in the sixties and is now throwing rocks from a podium at the White House
how lucky am I today!
Hello all, thanks Nerdy for all you do. We are in trying times and we need to be strong just to go through a single day!
Tuning in right now. Thanks Jer!!
Omg I miss him SO much! Brought tears to my eyes. Thanks Jer!
He’s on stage now!!!
Yaaaaaaay! 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💥
GA/GE TODville.
As Ralph Northam just said… it’s time! Audience cheers… and is cheering now!
Listen to that music and that crowd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah, memories………
YES WE [STILL] CAN!!!
I’m in heaven right now. This is a President. I love him. Nice to have him back:)
Me in front of the tv right now 😍

Me too, Dudette! 😀
Pretty much! 🙂
That was me too! LOL
sorry Sister but I copied your posture and attention … nothing was going to make me miss this event
No apologies necessary Sis. He is more than worthy!
*chuckle-chuckle* Did you even hear a word he said?
Of course. Mine is no superficial love. It is wide, it is deep, it is profound… Though I’m very glad there’s video so I can watch him again. 😍
*grinning widely*
😁
lol!
Oh, yes!! ❤

Today I have lost any respect I might have had for Gen. Kelly. This entire mess was started by the disgusting man he is working for.
Me, too, bella. And once the respect is gone, it’s not coming back.

Banged that podium:)
Soooooooooooo good to watch something that makes me feel good for a change.
Starting now, in CDT.
What a speech!!! OMG….
My President…Your President…OUR President Barack Obama.
FOREVER President!
that was greeeeaaaat, hopeful and so rejuvenating!!!!!
thanks a lot Mr. President (aka My Forever President)
I miss him so much. Listening to PBO has me so emotional. I am on the verge to tears.
you are not alone
SAME
THIS. A thousand times THIS:
PBO was MAGNIFICENT!!
Yep. He told everyone repeatedly last year. If all registered democrats had listened and voted for HRC, we would be living in very different times. Hard to do anything when the horse has escaped the barn through the door that we left open. Hard, but not impossible. 2018 midterms will be the receipts for all of the talking, protesting, marching etc.
Good to see my President campaigning again.
You know what else I missed?!! Nerdy tweets of what our President says:) Oh, god….this feels like comfort food to me:)
Yes, it sure does
I really needed this:)
WORD!!!!
It was so good to see and hear PBO today. We miss him so much. He is definitely the closer.
Looking sooo good 🙂 🙂

Sorry to hear about health Sue. Hope you’re eating what you need to, resting, taking walks etc. hugs.
Every word always rings TRUE
OMG! The tears… 😭
How so very precious 💕
I see that “general” kelly was forced to kiss the
king’s ringturd’s ass in public. Pathetic.Pretty sure after today, he’s been “found out” as not actually having been “forced” into any of this.
murka’s own lil kim jong un.

Haven’t watched Rachel yet, so thanks for bringing this here. Birds of a feather, eh? #FollowTheMoney
Yes Trumpathology is all about Getting Even.
and this was supposed to be “character” week. the irony.
maggots are governing amurkkka.
Yep they eat carcasses, pupate and become flies. S’about right.
Wow! Eric Holder live on Rachel next Monday. Set the DVR
Woooot! Was just coming to post this! Just set the DVR! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
They are fucking demagogues and they all have fuckingly stupid voter base.

yup. a worthless pos. like his russian puppet.
Exactly!
The thugs have now co opted every ‘institution’. As the kenyan said (and keeps saying), voting matters.
L’OD opening segment I see must see. Must See.
absolutely blistering
Saw it. He was on fire.
A must see for sure desertflower..HZ
🌑🔥🌏
TOD, if you missed the opening segment on Lawrence tonight, make every effort to find it and watch it.
I have been sooooo disgusted and angry with that Kelly fiasco today, I had to walk away from everything political.
Lawrence O’donnell always brings the truth in the most direct non-bullsh##t language.
That POS in the WH is burning the house down with his ignorant, vulgar, unlettered self, with very few journalists
calling him out. I can always depend on Lawrence to call out this POS and his ilk.
THIS!!!!! Lawrence is the only one who had the guts to defend Ms Wilson. The remainder of MSM is totally ignoring how Kelley denigrated Congresswoman Wilson. Kelly should have stop talking after he talked about losing his son.

Nerdy, thanks 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Lawrence O’donnell…breaking it down
Yes he is Pf. I commented on this above. Loved it.

rrriight, we have all seen how great the military culture was/is.
Yes. Lawrence’s “Last Word” tonight is from some guy named Barack Obama!!!! ❤
Lawrence is on fire! Kelly & “Empty barrels”. Hot Damn! 👀
That was awesome. I refer to Kelly as the teen who threw rocks at busloads of black students in the sixties and is now throwing rocks from a podium at the White House

Obama knew this and hence kept him at arm’s distance.
