Im pretty sure this has nothing to do with that. The one person pushing the nuclear angle seems very suspicious and was playing the "just asking questions "how do you know?" conspiracy theory game. They also demanded rocket scientist credentials to be shown when someone pointed out the obvious. Now theyre pushing a bioweapons angle. It's absurd but it is not genuine. |

Nobody was close to taking away any rights. Trump is an annoyance that will soon be gone. No fundamental rights have even been at risk. It is people who think the opposite that give trump his power. He is nothing. He has done nothing. Everything has worked the way it was supposed to. Almost nothing of importance was allowed to proceed by the courts, slightly making part of PP's point. Freedom is won in many places. Yes in a courtroom, but also on a battlefield and every day by good people who do the right things. The military is not actively planning anything. The FBI is another story. But not to keep trump there but to make sure he goes with little fanfare. |

PP here. You may be right. But people who have not served or have not made it their business to learn about the military don't really understand what it is or what the people are like. |

This. - NP, and a different “rocket expert” (yes, legit degree and relevant experience). Not unusual to have anti-aircraft batteries deployed around the area since 9/11. This isn’t a “missile base”. Google it. Huge difference. |

THIS. The FACT is that Milley was imminently about to go much, much farther than merely deploy troops against protestors. Fact. He only walked it back well after the fact, and then only after multiple retired flag officers publicly denounced him. Powell, Mattis, McRaven, Stavrides, and Clapper ALL knew what Milley was doing and they all spoke up, both publicly and privately. But for them, ... |

A thermonuclear weapon weighing about 2,400 pounds(payload). US ICBM has a length of 60 ft weighs 80,000 lb. The US has no mobile land based ICBM. US ICBMs are located at 3 airforce bases. Patriot anti aircraft missiles are 19 ft weight 700 lb with a payload of 90 pounds and are mobile. There are a few sites around DC that have Patriot mobile units. Their target range most likely cover all of DC and other sensitive sites around the area. If they ever fire these there will be a lot of collateral damage. |

Not a rocket scientist here, but a quick google search showed me that the US does not in fact have mobile nuclear missiles though we considered it a few times. Did see we have plenty of anti-aircraft rockets, so Occam's razor... |

Yeah, that’s what I said. These are anti-aircraft, NOT nukes. Whoever the PP is that thinks these are nuclear weapons must be deep into conspiracy theory la-la land. |

It would clarify it for us and for purposes of Beltway gossip, but there's no doubt in my mind that when Biden says there's obstruction and Sullivan says there's obstruction (and adds in OMB) that everyone who's involved from DoD and Biden's team knows exactly who and what they are talking about. And there are a couple of interpretations - one is that the Biden team really doesn't know what's going on and they are signaling that a whole long line of buses is being lined up to throw folks under. Another is that they have a good idea of what they aren't being fully briefed on and are signaling they will shut it down on Jan. 20 if they don't get information. The third is they believe something is being concealed and they aren't going to go along with it. And this is why I think Austin is a bad pick for SecDef. Biden clearly needs someone he can get through confirmation easily and who knows the place inside and out in order to ferret out information and more importantly oust non civil servant Trump loyalists. |

This is la la land. There is no evidence that troops would be deployed. They can't be legally. There were no plans. And there were no troops put on alert -- so it was not very very close. Even if they were, I would not expect those orders to be followed. This is legacy stuff. No one would do this under these facts. You are either Borris or a conspiracy nut. |

You madame, are full of it. Fort AP Hill has a grass army airfield. What are they scrambling? Cessnas? |

They did attack US citizens. The DC National Guard helicopter incident happened and they are (uniquely) directly under Milley's command. The retired generals stopped it from happening again, god bless them. But make no mistake, the line was crossed that day. Thankfully those patriots stood up for the flag and put a stop to it.
I really hope that the full story of what happened that day will be told. |

I don’t trust the military at all. The officer members are made up of people who couldn’t get into good schools (sorry, West Point and Annapolis aren’t good schools, regardless of what you hear) and make it in the business/legal/medical/professional/political world. So they opted for the service, chasing a pension and a cushy job at a defense contractor or the federal govt after they “retire” at 42-44 after 20 years. The enlisted members are even worse, not able to even make it in community colleges, and looking for any way to escape their pathetic lives in one stoplight towns from red state America.
Both groups are jingoistic low brow Neanderthals, who think violence is a reasonable solution for countries to resolve their differences. If there is indeed a coup planned, it will have the backing of the military. There may be a few in the ranks who object, but the majority will support it, knowing they’ll be part of the ruling class if it’s successful. Something they’d never otherwise be a part of on their own as a civilian. I’ve never been as scared to be in this country as I am right now. The next few weeks will be absolutely terrifying waiting to see if something happens. And if it happens, I can only imagine the fate that awaits me and millions like me. I fear we will all end up in mass graves. That’s what always happens when men like trump are faced with the choice of staying in power. |

You really can’t beat the benefits, though. You can live like a Fairfax king on a $105k salary with the housing allowance. And the chow? Well, it’s not like mom’s home cooking. But it’ll do. |
