I think Kelly has a sense of propriety, of how things should APPEAR. But it's layered over highplainsdem Oct 2017 #6

I wrote an encouraging thank you letter to him when he told the moron, before the inaugeration, that he needed to separate his personal businesses from his new title and position. Of course he was wasting his breath.
