Chairman of Joint Chiefs thought Trump might attempt a legit coup

[outside shooter]

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.

There's about 100 more Republicans opposing Trump, many who worked for him, who we can line up for your approval.

But they're all deep state RINOs, right? Even Mike Pence went all shitlib on you, right?

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.

Bowl, think about this.

Making China and the rest of the world think he is "unhinged and capable of almost anything" while being Commander in Chief of the world's most powerful military force is a good strategy.

More proof he is the smartest president in history.

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.

Read the Constitution and you'll find out.

It proved to be effective deterrence during his first term. I am not so sure how effective it would be in a second term after Trump has essentially said

"Yeah I was just f*cking with Xi, Putin, Kim Jong-Un and the Mullah's, but hey, they believed me"

ChicagoFire, expect you are like me and believe the Trumps, Xis, KJUs, Putins, and Mullahs got where they are by not trusting or believing anyone at face value.

Furthermore, think Trump would agree with us, truth be known..

I think they saw Trump as more erratic than previous U.S. President's and it sowed enough doubt in their mind he just may follow through on flinging missiles at Beijing and Moscow as he said he would.

Iran actually did have reason to believe he was serious of course.

Maybe because the law requires an action in addition to intent?

Isn't telling an enemy your intentions considered an action?

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.

What exactly didn’t he support?

FYI, he cannot support an unlawful order or policy of the Commander in Chief.
