Kelly, Bolton Get in Profane Shouting Match Outside the Oval Office

[leftynyc]

Source: Bloomberg

President Donald Trump’s chief of staff and his national security adviser engaged in a profanity-laced argument outside the Oval Office on Thursday, according to three people familiar with the episode.

It wasn’t immediately clear what the chief of staff, John Kelly, and the national security adviser, John Bolton, were arguing about. The clash is an indication that tension is resurfacing in the White House 19 days before midterm elections in which Republican control of Congress is at stake.

[dawnie51]

[MrScorpio]

12. You can just cut the tension with a bone saw

[BlueStater]

14. They're both Johns yet ironically more like prostitutes.

I despise them both equally.

[The Genealogist]

15. LOL...these clowns

They were arguing over "immigration and border crossings." I'm surprised they weren't arguing over whose turn it was to change Trump's poopy diaper.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

25. immigration and border crossings is code

You nailed it; they were arguing over changing TrumPutin's diaper. "Immigration and border crossings" is just WH code for the stuff coming out of that diaper.

[archiemo]

16. So much winning!!! n/t

[KY_EnviroGuy]

17. Where can we buy tickets?

I want front row seats.

Hell, if Bolton gets decked, I'll pay good money just for a DVD....... .........

Though I despise them both, Bolton seems to be the scumier. I'd love to see him decked.

37. Whatever Else He Is, Kelly Is A Tough Marine

Bolton would get his ass kicked so hard he could wipe it with that mustache.

[getagrip_already]

50. my money is on the marine.....

bolton is a paper tiger who would wet his pants if faced with real danger.

[Solly Mack]

51. He can always use the toilet paper on Trump's shoe.

[SunSeeker]

19. I bet that argument had nothing to do with control of Congress.

[forgotmylogin]

55. Bolton refuses to retrieve documents from the Saudi embassy

that Kelly is asking him to fetch.

[Totally Tunsie]

20. How is it not "immediately clear

what the chief of staff, John Kelly, and the national security adviser, John Bolton, were arguing about" if the article then goes on to say what the argument was about?

[world wide wally]

21. No punches thrown?

Dayummm

[salin]

22. Things are working just like a well oiled.... gasoline fire.... in the oval office.

[BHDem53]

23. Moustache envy?

[hibbing]

42. Kelly might have insulted that thing on his face n/t

[Glimmer of Hope]

26. So much drama.

[left-of-center2012]

28. Trump sided with Bolton ...

"Trump sided with Bolton, the person said,
which may once again stir speculation that Kelly will soon depart the White House.

The shouting match was so intense that other White House aides worried one of the two men might immediately resign.
Neither of the men is resigning, the people said."

[DFW]

30. Considering it was Kelly and Bolton arguing

It could have been over who is buried in Grant's tomb (Bolton was sure it is Robert E. Lee).
I'm sure Trump sided with Bolton in that case--or, he would have if he had any clue who Robert E. Lee was.

[Racerdog1]

33. Who gives a shit

Let these two morons wrestle in the mud. None of this means shit until the orange asshole is gone.

[AlexSFCA]

34. trump always goes for the most extreme possible

[Mr. Ected]

35. This no doubt was simply a heated argument over Russian adoption policy

I love it!

Here’s why John Bolton and John Kelly were at each other’s throats today

(snip)

CNN’s “The Lead” Thursday reported that the intense shouting match between John Bolton and John Kelly, which escalated to the point where observers worried both men might resign, occurred over Secretary of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

According to CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins, Bolton shouted that Nielsen needed to be better at her job, while Kelly defended the embattled Nielsen.

tRump should start wrestling match events in our White House. It fits the style of his administration and he has lot of experience with the wrestling biz.

38. The Underlying Issue

Bolton has enough low cunning to realize that a rift in US-Saudi relations dims the prospect for his one-note Bomb-Bomb-Iran song.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

44. Good point, along with other Sunni countries he sees as supportive.....

and especially those having oil. They say around 90% of the world's Muslims are Sunnis.

Republicans rarely support a working-class minority - it's harder to win and they seem to crave marginalization of minorities (those damned welfare queens and rapey Mexicans!).

Those who desire to divide and conquer always seem to need a bad guy and a fall guy to demean.

[machoneman]

49. Ooh! Fighting over a woman I see!

Funny, unless she was as evil as Aunt Lydia, Bolton wouldn't be happy!

[Cha]

39. Trouble in HELL.
