I know, I know. How would a US Army general who DonOLD Trump appointed as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have any insight into his fitness to be president? Laughable right?

Well, laughable according to republicans... just not most of the men and women he hand selected who actually worked alongside him and now refuse to endorse him or have flat-out said he is unfit for office.

“He is the most dangerous person ever. I had suspicions when I talked to you about his mental decline and so forth, but now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is now the most dangerous person to this country,” he said.

“A fascist to the core,” Milley repeated.


Yeppers.

“A fascist to the core,” Milley repeated.

-----------

Says the treasonous Chairman of the Joint Chiefs who gave assurances to Chicom's he would let them know if Trump was planning an attack.

And of course Milley walked it back, saying in congressional testimony,

"At no time was I attempting to change or influence the process, usurp authority, or insert myself into the chain of command, but I am expected to give my advice and ensure that the president is fully informed," he said.

That statement has to do with him advising the president and in no way justifies him advising the Chicoms. He was essentially conducting his own foreign policy by an unauthorized attempt to quell Chinese concerns about Trump's intentions.

One of Trumps strengths in dealing with foreign adversaries is to keep them guessing about what he might do, that is if he in not undermined by the likes of Milley. I don't care how decorated Milley is or how long he served.

Are you really serious??

I know, and surly you know he will support Russia/Putin against all advice from experienced knowledgeable people. (If you think he is experienced and knowledge in foreign policy, please provide where he got that experience and knowledge).

I know he will support any regime that will support his business affairs, or even book some rooms in his hotels.

I know he will try to cut the legs out of any foreign leader who does not pay him homage.

I know he is very simple to manipulate.

I know the US will e in a very unfavorable position when it comes to foreign policy if Trump is elected. Trump had 4 years to solve the Russia/Ukraine war. It started well before his election. He did nothing to stop Russian aggression.

BigHairyMike, again about Trump's abilities in foreign affairs and looking after US interests.

Proclaiming Trumps foreign relations ineptitude does not excuse or legitimize Milley's treachery.

BHM:

Proclaiming Trumps foreign relations ineptitude does not excuse or legitimize Milley's treachery.



Thomas Jefferson to John B. Colvin
20 Sept. 1810Works 11:146

The question you propose, whether circumstances do not sometimes occur, which make it a duty in officers of high trust, to assume authorities beyond the law, is easy of solution in principle, but sometimes embarrassing in practice. A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means.

I believe Milley was acting in the highest duty, and Trump is a traitorous grifter who betrayed his highest duty.

The world wasn’t on fire when Trump was in office.

It is now. If Harris wins, it’ll get worse.

Milley is an idiot who should just stick to understanding ‘white rage’, whatever that is.

<<One of Trumps strengths in dealing with foreign adversaries is to keep them guessing about what he might do, that is if he in not undermined by the likes of Milley. I don't care how decorated Milley is or how long he served.>>

Consider the possibility that Gen. Milley understood the gravity of the situation better than you do from your distant vantage point and with your demonstrably limited ability to assess personal integrity and competence.

Trump is easily the most unfit person ever to serve as President. If anyone could be worse, it would be your favorite, Vivek.

Consider that you’re really not very good at this. Perhaps you’re very good at finance or engineering or some such, but not at evaluating people for positions of great responsibility.

Or perhaps you really do prefer an authoritarian kleptocrat as President. In which case, you’re right on target, and I stand corrected.

“A fascist to the core,” Milley repeated.

Well of course Milktoast Milley would try to undermine President Trump after Trump spoke the truth of the incompetent Millie.

SNIP
“Donald Trump made a series of aggressive comments on social media about outgoing head of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley, suggesting the top military leader’s conduct was worthy of execution.

“Mark Milley, who led perhaps the most embarrassing moment in American history with his grossly incompetent implementation of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, costing many lives, leaving behind hundreds of American citizens, and handing over BILLIONS of dollars of the finest military equipment ever made, will be leaving the military next week,” Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday.

“This will be a time for all citizens of the USA to celebrate!” he continued. “This guy turned out to be a Woke train wreck who, if the Fake News reporting is correct, was actually dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States. This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!”

Yep, Millie is right there with ChickenBiden and the last one to leave the room, Harris.

Milley's treachery?

Milley is the kind of patriot we need more of. Not the sycophantic, boot licking self promoters who cluster around Trump hoping to promote their overweening ambition for power.

Trump is the traitorous one who patriotic Americans SHOULD oppose.

Can you imagine the kind of executive branch we will have under a second Trump administration? It will be truly destructive, incompetent, chaotic and corrupt.

"One of Trumps strengths in dealing with foreign adversaries is to keep them guessing about what he might do"

Yeah, Trump might send Putin our covid tests or he might "Fall in love" with Kim Jong Un after exchanging "wonderful" letters.
Trump might praise China's crackdown on Tiananmen Square protesters in 1989, saying it "shows you the power of strength."
Trump might call Dictator Viktor Orban "one of the strongest leaders anywhere in the world."
Trump might steal classified documents, lie about it and maybe even show them to his "friends"!
Trump might repeatedly push President Zelensky to investigate his political opponent. (Trump might withhold a congressionally-mandated $400 million military aid package to Ukraine, in an attempt to obtain cooperation from Zelensky.)
Trump might rape someone...again.

BTW Retired United States Army General and real hero, Mark A. Milley said, "Trump is the most dangerous person ever. I had suspicions when I talked to you about his mental decline and so forth,
but now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is now the most dangerous person to this country. A fascist to the core."
Of course General Milley has received "a non-stop barrage of death threats" since his retirement last year. (He has installed bullet-proof glass in his residence.) The MAGA hate machine keeps rolling!

This is what a hero looks like: Milley served over 40 years in the U.S. Army, including multiple command and staff positions across eight divisions and Special Forces.
He held key leadership roles including: 39th Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army (2015-2019)
Commanding General of U.S. Army Forces Command
Commanding General of III Corps
Milley also holds master's degrees in international relations from Columbia University and in national security and strategic studies from the U.S. Naval War College.
His deployments included missions in Egypt, Panama, Haiti, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

For the MAGA crowd, none of that can compare with Trump's heroism: avoiding getting STDs after dodging the draft, calling those who serve in the military 'losers' and bragging about grabbing p*ssy.

If Trump is elected it will be one of the saddest days in our great republic's history.

What fascism looks like:
"I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within...sick people, radical left lunatics.
And it should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military." ~Trump to Maria Bartiromo on what worries him about election day.

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." (Or humping the flag and selling $3 Chinese made bibles for $60?)
~Attributed to Sinclair Lewis

We need a new MAGA centric quote. How about "When fascism finally came to America, it was slathered in fake bronzer and wearing a diaper."
