"Uh-huh." Gen. John Kelly Thinks "Lack of Compromise" Caused The Civil War...


Let us take Gen. Kelly at his word. I might quibble with the premise -- but let's not.

If we agree with his premise -- it is childs' play to prove his reasoning specious.

I would do so by asking the Chief of Staff for 45, a man with an otherwise (up until 2017) distinguished record -- what sort of "compromise" would have been appropriate, to stave off that war -- on Mr. Lincoln's side?

What compromise should be made when humans sell other humans into bondage? It seems 3/5ths was a less than sensible answer, right Gen. Kelly?

I am going to rerun an only marginally-relevant graphic here. I'll not make a new one. Gen. Kelly's feckless nonsense is self-deflating. ["Verily, the dim employ the dim -- a man may be by his chief of staff known." -- Douglas William Jerrold said essentially the opposite of course, of a man and his lawyer -- but credit where credit is due, right? Right.]

There can be no "compromise" on slavery. He is thus clueless. So I will invest no more pixel-wrangling in it -- or him.

Happy trick-or-treating, to all of good will. Busy day ahead -- here at pale gray dawn. Onward.

I disagree. He is not 'clueless.' He is a puppet on a string and likes the power of the office. Nothing more. He will dance and sing for as long as he can just to maintain the position.

He should resign. Nothing less is appropriate.

Oh I do agree with you, Anon. — 100 per cent.

I’ll focus on seeking 45’s lawful ouster — which will remove Kelly as well. For without 45’s resignation, Kelly’s would be largely meaningless.

That is, 45 would simply put another race-baiting mediocre white guy in the seat.

Let’s take the bull by the horns, and remove his boss — all by lawful process...

That’s all I’ve got, at the moment...

Namaste!
