You make it sound like the politicians he is cutting ties with were constraining Trump's worst impulses and were going to stand in front of his destruction of the country instead of leading the charge. We think if Trump really commits to firing Mueller, Reince ****ing Priebus was going to stand in the way? And if Trump fies Mueller, he's in for a huge political battle with a bunch of politicians in Congress. How are 'deep connections' with the military going to help?
I get the concerns that Kelly is an upgrade in terms of competency. Fine. But other than that, I don't understand where this is really going except for Event Horizon stuff where Congress impeaches Trump but then he orders Kelly to tell his friends in the Marine Corps he's not going or something and prepare for civil war. But then again Kelly was already part of his cabinet and I don't see Reince Priebus playing any role other than Trump's homoculus lackey in such a scenario. So I'm not really getting the concern here.
