Chairman of Joint Chiefs thought Trump might attempt a legit coup

I will help out my good friend DANC.
A leftist is anybody on the left of Atilla the Hun or George Wallace.
You are welcome, DANC!
No, a leftist is someone who puts social issues ahead of financial issues!
 
In yet another book excerpt about the absurdity of the end of the Trump presidency, Mark Milley was genuinely concerned that Trump might try to hold onto power unconstitutionally:

"They may try, but they're not going to f**king succeed," Milley told his deputies...he told subordinates: "You can't do this without the military. You can't do this without the CIA and the FBI. We're the guys with the guns."​

Thank God his worries were unfounded, but it's pretty darn crazy that these conversations even needed to happen.
L O L

The fixation continues

More nonsense from you. The authors are Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists. They're credible, unlike the people who write the crap that you lap up.
You are not going to convince the likes of Lucy and DANC with Pulitzer-winning journalism. Most likely, they don't even know what Pulitzer Prize is. They may think it is a local dog show trophy.

I thought it had something to do with chickens.

If Obama got the Nobel prize, he should have qualified for the Pulitzer.

Anyone with the correct political view qualifies for both nowdays.
 
Soooo . . . you've got two sets of standards? One you apply to liberals and one you apply to yourself and so-called conservatives?

Figures.
Your memory is foggy. Libs seized those words and made them into flags years ago. Just quoting, that’s all.

More bullshit from you.

And more avoiding the point . . . but my memory is spot on with recalling your habitual running away here. Thanks for reminding me.
 
Ban the word "idiot" and you'd throw a wrench in the postings of 3 or 4 of the worst posters here.
 
I dimly recognize your handle as belonging to someone who made a crap ton of offensive posts and got himself banned. Maybe on the OTF.

Or maybe it's a different Sparkey. But so far, you seem like an asshole, so I'm guessing he's you.
Just saying that is a pretty offensive post but guessing you won't ban yourself?

I would be more impressed with a dog show trophy !

Milley's comments, quoted verbatim in the book, are being covered by several major news outlets as they should be. It's not every day when the highest-ranking US military officer refers to the country facing a "Reichstag moment" because a US president is "preaching the gospel of the Fuhrer." I know this is painful for you, as a Trump devotee. Sadly, it's just more evidence of what a horribly destructive president and person Trump was/is.
Comments probably have nothing to do with him being out of a job if Trump is elected. Also wonder why he was not brought up on Treason charges when he self admittedly told the Chineese that he would inform them if Trump ever decided to attack.

Yep, Miley, Mattis, Kelly, Tillerson, Bolton etc. are all wrong. Just people seeking retribution against Trump.

All these very accomplished men are liars. Only Trump can be believed. Do you really believe that?

Nope not all but I do believe that Miley is full crap. Bolton is another that is a question mark. I am unfamiliar with Mattis and Tillerson's remarks so I don't have an opinion on their remarks.

This person stated he was afraid but gives no evidence to support his fears. If anything he was insubordinate in to the Commander in Chief by not supporting the President's policies.

Because he didn't commit treason or anything approaching it. Rather, he was responsibly doing his job, and all of his calls were staffed, communicated and coordinated with the Department of Defense along with the US intelligence community's interagency pipeline.

Milley was aware of intelligence suggesting that the Chinese believed the U.S. was preparing to attack and he feared a hair-trigger situation in which there could be miscalculation, or a preemptive strike by China in an attempt to fend this off or get ahead of it.

And concurrently there were tensions over military exercises in the South China Sea, tensions aggravated by Trump's increasingly belligerent rhetoric toward China on the campaign trail. So Milley tried to assuage these fears by reassuring China that the U.S. was stable and not gearing up for an attack on China.

The conversation after January 6 was because China and much of the rest of the world was convinced that Trump was unhinged, desperate and capable of almost anything.

Go find them. It is alarming. Look, I know Kamala sucks. Trump is worse and far more dangerous.

The more I see from the candidates, the more confident I am that I've made the right choice by doing a write-in vote. There's really nothing to vote for from either of them. We lose either way. Of course, living in Indiana, it doesn't really matter anyway.

Whoever wins, hopefully we'll get divided government.

I will agree that Kamala is the absolute worst. However this administration has been far worse for America than what Trump ever did. Opening up the border. Funding Iran. Treating Israel like it is an enemy. Attacking the Supreme Court and threatening to pack the court. Subverting SC decisions and trying to pay student debt.

First statement isn't logical. Second sentence is that it wasn't treason or close to treason and isn't even exactly what Miley talked to his Chinese counterpart about. Incidentally, Chairmans of the Joint Chiefs talk to their foreign counterparts on a routine basis.
