Washington (CNN)New White House chief of staff John Kelly was so upset with how President Donald Trump handled the firing of FBI Director James Comey that Kelly called Comey afterward and said he was considering resigning, according to two sources familiar with a conversation between Kelly and Comey.

So yes, the new White House Chief of Staff almost resigned from Secretary of Homeland Security because of how upset he was over Comey's firing.

Clearly, the White House is in fact a well-oiled machine.

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

Oh, c'mon. Don't beat Mooch's record!

 

[Ryouji Gunblade]

More like a well-salted machine.

Keep tweeting Trump. Make it all come down.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

why is Kelly even at the White House right now?

 

[cordy]

I haven't seen anything off track since a girl got her weave pulled out in school.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

why is Kelly even at the White House right now?

save America

 

[QuantumBro]

why is Kelly even at the White House right now?

Because some people put their country before themselves.

 

[gutter_trash]

why is Kelly even at the White House right now?

sounds more like a GOP choice than a Trump choice

 

[Travo]

why is Kelly even at the White House right now?

I think he believes he really has a shot at putting this thing back on track.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Geezuz lol..

 

[Gnome Scat]

why is Kelly even at the White House right now?

Because imagine the idiot who Trump would replace him with.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Because some people put their country before themselves.

Which means he wont be there long since Captain Orange only wants Yes-Men.

After this revelation, the correct course of action would be to fire Kelly.

Please Trump

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Indeed indeed..

 

[Travo]

Yeah, which is why most will fail, no matter how good their intentions are.

 

[Christian]

Can't wait until Trump fires Kelly and reinstates Scaramucci.

 

[TheOMan]

Man - it just doesn't stop. It's only Monday.

Conflict of interest right there. Trump you need to fire Kelly.

Can't fault him if that's his agenda but it feels like the guys who take charge of the Iraq and Afghanistan strategy "I'll make this work and fix it because I believe my idea is better than the others who all failed". Good luck.

 

[Loxley]

This dude is totally not going to be able to reign Trump in. Like, at all. The man is 71 years old and isn't gonna change for anyone.

Kelly might be able to calm the storm for a month, but by the time we hit September we'll be back to the same ol' shit.

 

[jellies_two]

Kelly: i am appalled, I will quit
Jim: stay in there, we got this, rod is ok, robert has his A team, plan is locked in
Kelly: ok Jim, glad to hear that because he is worse than we ever imagined

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

why is Kelly even at the White House right now?

To keep out the Mexicans.

 

[Guevara]

I honestly don't know what to make of the fact that so many generals seem to be so willing to fall on their sword for this administration.

 

[iammeiam]

Kelly: i am appalled, I will quit
Jim: stay in there, we got this, rod is ok, robert has his A team, plan is locked in
Kelly: ok Jim, glad to hear that because he is worse than we ever imagined

If that's what's actually going on, this whole fiasco is going to inspire some amazing yet hyper-patriotic movies.

 

[Dude Abides]

Shoulda got out when he had the chance. Now he's just gonna get Trump stank all over him.

 

[Carpe Carnim]

I think Kelly is a self-righteous hot-head who buys into the establishment spin that he's a sober, stabilizing force in the Executive. He's babysitting a bigoted man-child and his coterie of Mayberry Machiavellians.

Bannon and the Mercers are on a demolition job, how are they going to react to some general enforcing a semblance of order and acting as a gatekeeper to our addled, impressionable president? Not well I would wager.

I give Kelly a year, at most

 

[JABEE]

Kelly is about to get fired for disloyalty.

 

[dankir]

Uhh fucking this. This faux outrage from these GOP lackeys are hilarious.

 

[ebullientprism]

Ole Donny is sooooooooooo gonna fire him when he sees this on the TV.

 

[mnannola]

Uh oh, Kelly was supposed to be the chosen one! Now he is going straight in to the Sessions category.

 

[Raven117]

Uh oh, Kelly was supposed to be the chosen one! Now he is going straight in to the Sessions category.

If he fires Kelly, then the true up conservatives will likely melt.

We already saw how fast they circled the wagons with Sessions.

 

[Kinyou]

Trump must feel very, very tired from winnung by now

 

[Byakuya769]

Kelly said, "I'm so mad I might quit today!"



....


Ok.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

But wait.

Kelly was hired way after Comey.

So I don't get it.

 

[btrboyev]

But wait.

No..Kelly has been at the head of Homeland Security.

 

[Corto]

So what are the numbers for Kelly holding his job for more than a few weeks? What's the over-under?

 

[blackjaw]

Kelly there to straighten shit up or fuck it up...depends on how big of a dumbass the boss is being that day

He won't last long unfortunatly

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

No..Kelly has been at the head of Homeland Security.

Shit.

Yeah, okay, shouldn't post on a headache.

 

[CloudyTuba]

Please Trump

If it makes the news big enough it's not outside the realm of possibility.

The White House is such a mess right now. High turnover always indicates a leadership problem.

 

[ezrarh]

It really looks like the Mercer and Bannon wing are winning big time.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

It really looks like the Mercer and Bannon wing are winning big time.

if that wing actually started losing (and were getting punished for it), Trump might then start bleeding some of his more Nazi base. You can't have that.

 

[Opto]

Another military man hands over his spine to Trump. Oh well, under Trump, you get what you deserve

 

[JCreasy]

It really looks like the Mercer and Bannon wing are winning big time.

I finally know what role they play here - The Iron Bank of Bravos.

 

[MechDX]

why is Kelly even at the White House right now?

I thought if you were military and the president wanted to appoint you to a position in his cabinet you were not able to decline?

 

[Shadybiz]

NO CHAOS...NO CHAOS....no you're the chaos!!!

I thought if you were military and the president wanted to appoint you to a position in his cabinet you were not able to decline?

Only if you're active duty. McMaster is...I believe Kelly was retired, so he can do what he wants.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

If they are active then I don't think they have a choice in the matter.

 

[MrDaravon]

I thought if you were military and the president wanted to appoint you to a position in his cabinet you were not able to decline?

Only if you're active military, IIRC Kelly is retired.

 

[Diprosalic]

getting real tired of winning.

 

[mreddie]

Kelly will be out in a month if this gets to Dump
