Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

The Best People

Jennifer Rubin, erstwhile conservative at WaPo, reminds us that the deeper implications of the Rob Porter scandal is that the White House knew about it, kept him on and then initially defended him until the pictures came out.  She also points out that this is directly the fault of John Kelly, whose job is literally to oversee the White House Staff.

Kelly was supposed to be the savior, the "grown up in the room" to lead to a more mature Trump.  His four stars were supposed to lend gravitas to a White House that was somewhere between a frat house, a psych ward and a criminal enterprise.  Instead, Kelly is just a quieter version of the bullying, bigoted and misogynism that Trump farts out on Twitter every day.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders would also like to point out that you can't criticism him, because generals.
