Hi,
Now, if we might try to get together on some points, we can become less partisan.
I cannot see Donald Trump making a call, with Kelly sitting there guiding him, to be intentionally insulting, only to the black soldiers' family. He may not have said his condolences well enough, and th.e family mistook what he said as disrespectful. Yes, if Trump was a different person, he would have called the family again and clarified his meaning. He can't see what he did wrong because his intent was to do his Presidential duty.
For me, the worst part of all this was General Kelly making up a story against a woman whose crime was that she supported the opinion of the fallen soldiers wife that Trump sounded disrespectful. She heard it herself and could speak to it, General Kelly, on the other hand sounded like Trump would.
I listened to the whole speech of the Congresswoman that Kelly referred to, and found her to be impressive, while Kelly certainly lied.
Lawrence O'Donnell does not state that he is a hard news person. His is an opinion show. I dislike guests who have been coming on for years with the same old shtick, but I do like the US attorneys, Intelligence officers, and comments from legal scholars who do add light. And of course the reporters and hard newsmen from the papers. We own them a debt of gratitude in these times. I'm really proud of those guys and gals.
But, we cannot look at everything and blow it up. That is a problem of the TV media. Kelly is who looks bad.
(Just as an aside-- I had one of those experiences myself very recently.. I said something-- a friend heard something else. It caused a problem. I thought I was very clear. I haven't talked to her since.)

You're absolutely right. People like this (our president included) are the reason we are in the current state we're in. And they see no issue with their reasoning so it's impossible to knock any sense in to them.
