By Sho_Nuff82 Go To PostThe National Review of all sources recently posted a vicious op-ed takedown of what they called Trump’s “White Minstrel Show”. Old money republicans are genuinely concerned that the Trump admin has made being boorish, dishonest, and uneducated truly chic among whites, and their constituency isn’t self aware enough to realize that most of the party had been behaving as such as a work.
The people who became so accustomed to being tongue-in-cheek, aw shucks, dog whistle conservatives are now terrified that Trump’s genuine stupidity is indistinguishable from their pandering. Dubya/Romney were never as vapid as they seemed, Southern Strategy is real.
"We been doing a work, you Marks! Stop getting worked up into a work when it's not us working you, you Marks"
In other news related to Illinois I got to personally meet J.B. Pritzker.
Genuine, honest guy with a great head and good ideas. Really hope he takes the governors mansion next year.

So apparently the White House Chief of Staff does not know about the 3/5th compromise, the Missouri Compromise, The Fugitive Slave Act, the Compromise of 1850, and the Kansas Nebraska Act of 1854.
COOL!
The fact that we actually had so many compromises is an indictment in and of itself; not something to celebrate.

Fine .. his first term. I hope she makes it. The senate scares me.

"I should have retired under Obmama"
when you locked into a job for possibly 8 years when you wanted to retire a year ago
The fact that these views are even entertained show utterly f'ed we are.
I don't know which part is more offensive. The moral bankruptcy or the fact that it's simply not true.
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostIs this significant?Yes, it's significant. It's a start.
I don't want to celebrate too early

We even made a separate thread. Lots of good info, breakdowns and relevant tweets.
John Kelly has been spending too much time in that myopia zone. It's clearly eroding his brain. Even if he thought shit like this to say it aloud is definitely some whole other garbage. Hope Mattis just keeps the Tangerine Nightmare away from the war toys.

Or anyone in the administration.

John Kelly is a piece of shit like the rest breh..... don't doubt it
This is a Public Service Announcement: just because a Republican isn't Trump or criticizes Trump, they're still almost certainly a piece of shit. Especially if they work in the damn Trump White House.
Same goes for many "centrist" (read: conservative) Dems.

I think people were just optimistic because it seemed like Kelly took the job to act as a counter weight to trump's well ... to trump. Every time he didn't condemn the white supremacists in Chancellorsville or played the both sides card there, Kelly looked visibly upset.
Wishful thinking. Anyone who would willingly work for Trump at this point is fair game to have their basic motives questioned IMO.
