Asks about feud with Corker
Kelly has zero clue what his boss is thinking. But its a much better answer than anything SHS has put forth
Somebody needs to ask about turnips OWN TWEETS specifically.

Is POTUS jeopardizing his agenda by feuding with members of his own party?
"I have found him...willing to work with anyone to advance the agenda, the 'agenda' being 'what protects Americans...when MoC say things that are unfair or critical, the president has a right to defend himself. When I read things that I deem to be unnecessarily critical, I will call MoC and say, 'Is there anything I can do to help you clear up that misconception?...some people grandstand and kind of enjoy the attention"

SHS can take a note from Kelly's page regarding how to answer questions without being a condescending bag.

Repeal and replace eo It 10/12 why has he waited so long?
(well because he wanted congress to do it) Do you blame mitch
Kelly I came in late to this. (see my answer above) and since we probably wont have one til spring this will 'take care of ' americans until then
Congress is designed to be slow moving and I have respect for them. Congress is like herding cats.

Why did POTUS wait until now for a healthcare EO? Do you blame McConnell for the failure to repeal and replace ACA?
"All of what was in that EO today, there was a sense that, had the big bill passed, all of that would have been taken care of...we probably won't have a healthcare bill until, say, this spring, this was a way to take care of as many Americans as he could, legally, with an EO."
"The Congress is designed to be a complicated, slow moving body...I have complete respect for the MoC and the staffers who work for them." All MoC are beholden to their own constituents, so can't be expected to always vote the way POTUs wants them to

omg I'm dying. There was an audible groan and "Oh come on" when he awarded the last question to Goyal. Kelly was like, "Wait..what? What's wrong?"

Do the tweets catch you by surprise? Should the American people be concerned about a war?
"The American people should be concerned about a state that has developed a pretty good ICBM capability and is developing a pretty good nuclear re-entry vehicle. I believe I speak for the administration when I say that that state simply can not have the capability to reach the homeland...right now, we think the threat is manageable, but over time, if it grows beyond where it is today, well, let's hope diplomacy works."
"As far as tweets go, I read in the paper that I've been a failure at controlling the president, or a failure at controlling his tweeting. I was not brought in to control anything but the flow of information to the president."

American should be concerned about a state that has developed an ICM capability. We think the threat is manageable. Hope diplomacy works I was not sent in/brought to control turnip. I was brought in to control flow of information. I dont restrict anyone from seeing him, We just dont go int onsie twosie .
That should not be how you measure my success as CoS. His decisions are always on protecting americans and safety.

It's AMAZING what happens when a smart, reasonable person goes out there and answers press questions. Even when the questions are tough or even provocative, the whole thing doesn't devolve into an amateur mudslinging match

I was pleased to see that FLOTUS visited an opioid recovery center today. I don't see much coverage of her work. I think the opioid crisis is probably going to end up being her issue. I heard that she has been visiting opioid addicted babies in hospitals as well. Glad to see her stepping out for a cause. But will she actually do? I'd love to see her take it up as a real cause, but visiting babies in hospitals does nothing for nobody. I hope it is an awakening and not just a photo opp.

I'm trying to work out Peter Dinklage's reaction. At first he looks shocked and puzzled, then like he wants to blend into his chair, but then he kind of gives him this appeasing nod like, "Sure, yeah, legit." I'm trying to decide whether I hate him now. Yeah I was watching all of their reactions. It seems like most were shocked and then covered their faces. Except Emilia sitting next to him. She’s laughing but it’s an awkward laugh. Like she’s uncomfortable but trying to laugh along with everyone?

speaking of DC people, where has our Wonder Woman friend been? Hi! I've been buried by work and moving and not doing a great job keeping up here. I have been able to listen to all the NPR on my new, longer commute, though, so I'm sufficiently pissed/horrified/terrified/etc. PS fuck the boy scouts. Girl Scouts all day.

I dont know if it was because it was that he wasnt calling on the 'typical' reporters but he DID give better answers without the snark. Even his non-answers were given without the attitude. Its like SHS always appears to give a huge mental SIGGGGGGGGGGGGH before answering a question like she is better than them.

Kelly may have more charm than SHS in delivery, but I've gotta say, reading this shit back in print is just as infuriating. Reads like patronizing bullshit to me. Probably because you didnt see his non-mad non-thinking face. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) And I agree that her tone is very offputting for me. As is her facial/body language when speaking.
