I have some reservations about Kelly but it will most certainly be an improvement.

General John Kelly was an excellent Marine officer and he is a man of integrity - I have worked with him as a neighboring battalion commander and I worked to support him in Iraq.

His son, a Marine lieutenant, was killed in combat in Iraq.

Head and shoulders above anybody else president Trump could have picked.

Answer your question about “brass”, my non-serving friend?

What’s the possibility that Reince Prepuce was put on staff to segue his carcass out of power?

I think you’re right.

The appointment of Priebus as COS was pitched to President Trump as the way into the hearts of the GOPe.

Along with that appointment came Sean Spicer and yes, James Comey.

There’s a cesspool up there and it’s slowly being roto-rootered.

So the Leaker-in-Chief, and (I surmise) Paul Ryan's and Mitch McCuckold's little spy, Rancid Penis, is gone?

Oh Frabjous Day!

I figured after yesterday Scaramuci was headed to the woodshed. I was wrong.

Well said.
I think Reince tried to be loyal and an honest intermediary but the RINOs would have none of it.
So now they can deal with Trump’s own man.

This appointment is also proof that it IS POSSIBLE NOT TO LEAK!

I hadn’t heard or seen this possibility until now.

Prior to her appointment, she served both as the Department’s Deputy Under Secretary for Management and Chief Procurement Officer.

Prior to her service at DHS, Deputy Secretary Duke held various positions with the U.S. Department of Defense.

Deputy Secretary Duke received her B.S. in Business Management from New Hampshire College, now Southern New Hampshire University, and her M.B.A. from Chaminade University of Honolulu.

Priebus will probably out himself as #NeverTrump within a week.
