Ex-Trump chief-of-staff Kelly says second term would be ‘nonstop gunfight’
The Hill ^ | 07/17/2023 | LAUREN SFORZA

Former President Trump’s chief of staff John Kelly said a second term for the ex-president would result in a “nonstop gunfight” with Congress.

Kelly was Trump’s second chief of staff and came into the job hoping to instill discipline on the White House. He ended up lasting in the role for nearly a year and a half but had little success in ending the drama and infighting the characterized Trump’s administration.

“It would be chaotic,” Kelly said of what a second term might look like in the New York Times opinion piece.

“It just simply would be chaotic, because he’d continually be trying to exceed his authority but the sycophants would go along with it. It would be a nonstop gunfight with the Congress and the courts.”

“Trump will need to work with Congress, they with him. He didn’t do it first term,”

What are you taking about. Paul Ryan was against Trump from day one. They were hindering his effort to build the wall. President Trump was not an insider and the GOPe were against him.

That is what is needed.

Getting together with the UniParty @ssholes for “Bipartisanship”. where they can “really craft legislation” is why America is where it is.

Of course I blame Trump for biting him, that’s where the buck stops. I’m glad to at least hear him admitting he made mistakes in this regard, now I’d like to hear how he will do better.

See Wyatt Earp’s speech to Ike Clanton at the train station.

I disagree. Trump with a republican Congress can accomplish miracles.

Trump was surrounded by traitors. Many put there by the GOPe. I believe they will “dispose” of Trump before allowing him back into the White House. Everyone is government is working against him. The Democratic party, the GOP, the judicial branch, and every governmental agency.

Biden is not bothering to campaign, hire election staff, or even open a campaign headquarters. They figure they have the fraud already in place for him to “win”. If it appears that is going to fail on election night, they will stop counting, re-group, and we will see a repeat of 2020. One reason they want Trump to be the nominee is so they can easily explain the overwhelming number of votes for Biden. The media will fall in line and report that no one in the nation voted for Trump. However, if all the fraud fails, they will take Trump out by whatever method necessary.

I believe the WEF cabal have plans for our nation and it does not involve our Constitution or even the opinions of the American people. They are four years behind in their plans due to the interruption by Trump in 2016. Thus the reason for the feeling that the destruction of our nation is suddenly moving quickly. They are making up for that lost time. I seriously believe 2024 will be the last Presidential election for our “united states” of America. Biden (or his replacement) will be installed no matter what and if SCOTUS tries to interfere then that institution will be dissolved as well.

If another Republican is the nominee, that candidate will gracefully lose much in the manner of McCain or Romney and no extreme actions will be needed. Do you see the RNC doing anything to try to stop fraud or prepare for a contentious election? Have they prepared for fraud in 2024? They didn’t in 2022 and abandoned Kari Lake to fight obvious fraud in Arizona all on her own. In addition, Democrats will cheat to keep the Senate and take back the House no matter what polls prior to any election says, or what Biden’s approval numbers show.

It is absolutely craven statements like that lets me know how corrupted the system is that promotes its people.

The damned fool doesn’t seem to understand the real gun fight will be if President Trump doesn’t get back in the Whitehouse.

What are we in now? Democrats ignore Congress, the Supreme Court rulings, the laws, the people; they do whatever they want.

I am beginning to think that the media are worse than the politicians and bureaucrats.

They are, but I can turn them off.

I can't turn those other buzzards off and there's always a new flock of 'em every couple of years.

What is a Group of Vultures Called? (Everything Explained)

The term or name for a group of vultures varies depending on where they are, although the generic term is a flock. When they are flying in formation, they are referred to as a kettle. When they are resting in a tree or on the ground, vultures are called a committee, and whilst feeding, they are known as a wake. How fitting a description.

Would someone please explain to me why I’m wrong in my assessment that the Democrats have the steal down to a science. Trump could be ahead 20% in the polls on Election Eve 2024 and projected to win 350 electoral votes - and we’d still wake up the morning after the election and find that the Democrat has won.

Durham gives us the finger with a nothing burger after 4 years of investigation; Garland and Wray perjure themselves before Congress, the FBI does whatever it wants when it wants to do it. Why? Because they know that they will never face electoral consequences.

Rush warned that the Democrats were working to make voting obsolete. I think they’ve succeeded.
