The Goldman-Sachs Wing Of The White House (Fox News Included) Likely Wants Gen. John Kelly Gone
2018-02-11
[Mercer] President Trump has no right to be "venting about Chief of Staff John Kelly," who is an excellent man. But I bet "Jarvanka" (the Jared-Ivanka organism), and their Goldman-Sachs wing of the White House, are urging that the president purge one of the last good men in his administration.

Once Kelly goes, of the old MAGA Guard, only Stephen Miller will remain. Then you’ll know the Trump Revolution is truly over.

The media, which has morphed into a Trump Scandal Watch, are baying for the general’s blood. The many fine things Gen. Kelly has done‐defend Robert E. Lee as a great American hero, condemn Frederica Wilson for her anti-Trump tackiness‐have riled the media.

They would like to think there is no political life after Kelly’s transgression.

Ditto Fox News. On grounds too stupid, weak and wobbly to dignify, a Fox News "writer" (Stephen L. Miller) is calling for the good general to go. It’s encouraging to read the antagonistic comments of the readers. Against Fox News’ neoconservative lefty, the commenters echo my opinion.

UPDATE (2/10): Another reason the left wants the irreplaceable Gen. Kelly replaced:

"John Kelly says some immigrants didn’t sign up under DACA because they were ’lazy.'"

#3  But it is impossible not to notice that the entire focus of the coverage shifted instantly to GEN Kelly and the subsequent need for him to be gone without further discussion....

Indeed! Sort of like Mike Flynn, and General Petraeus before him, in a manner of speaking. The disdain the 'Deep State' has for the military is palpable.

#2  The media demand and compete for our attention, then they pull foolishly transparent manipulations. The guy who got bounced was universally praised for his work on-site, never arrested for anything and only publicly accused of anything long after the alleged events. But it is impossible not to notice that the entire focus of the coverage shifted instantly to GEN Kelly and the subsequent need for him to be gone without further discussion, because women or something.
