we gather with our family tomorrow.

Imo, those who have developed a new enthusiasm for vilifying Kelly far beyond what he's accomplished for himself (quite a trick) are being very foolish. I'll be grateful for anyone who might need to, figuratively speaking or not so, wrestle the black box out of Trump's hands.

Stopping him should be the good sense and decency we require at that moment, and for all Kelly's perceived faults he was considered by many who knew him to be a very competent and conscientious general officer. Any time he's not at Trump's elbow is a bad time.
