I hope Kelly and the other alleged adults in the Trump administration have to answer the questions that Judge Kreepazoid's accusers are getting right now: Why didn't you tell anyone? Why did you stay? Why did you wait so long to report this? After all, Kelly is operating out of a secure base, with very little personal or professional risk; certainly nothing compared to the risk these women are taking.

C'mon John; grow a pair of ovaries.

tell Trump what he's getting wrong. Or at least resign on the spot, saying he cannot possibly work with a man like this.

Which is the essential problem: no one around Trump has any integrity at all.

If you had the chance to eliminate Hitler back in the day, would you have done it? I wonder if anyone in Trump's inner circle harbors those same kind of thoughts. Just wondering. What's in their heads when it comes to this guy and what do they see as their place in history?

He is perturbed at the mess being exposed.

They dont care about the mess. They dont care about the wrongdoing. They dont care about the harm to others.

They ONLY care about getting caught, having it rebound on their own personal world.
