Also you all keep trying to strip the context out of this.
1. The guy had just fomented a coup attempt and gone AWOL when the Capitol was attacked. 2. He had also repeatedly asked about using nuclear weapons unilaterally. 3. It had just been discovered that he went around the entire national security team and issues a secret executive order to suddenly withdraw the last 2500 of our troops from Afghanistan. 4. The guy was actively lashing out at everyone around him demanding that they overturn the election. According even to Pompeo he was in a "dark place". McConnell had to prevent the President elect from calling. 5. He held multiple meetings, with a pillow salesman and qanon supporters, around this same time to discuss the imposition of martial law. 6. Standard transition efforts were being prevented from happening. 7. Known lies were being pushed by him of electoral fraud. If any President was doing those things then I would hope that steps would be taken to ensure that a unilateral nuclear strike order was not issued. |
He also just replace the key civilian heads at DOD and DOJ. |
With unqualified partisan hacks. And the GOP leadership sat on their thumbs. I will NEVER forgive them for that. |
+1 A “Wag the Dog” situation. |
All of this is well stated. I think we are going to find out one of these days just how close we came to nuclear Armageddon under Trump. |
Yes there are a lot of trumpist in the military. Michael Flynn’s brother is still lurking around. I would not put it past any trumpist to undermine the country for political gain. Look at their response to Afghanistan. I do not think the trumpists would hesitate to sabotage the military mission. |
So suddenly we are supposed to believe the military? They lied continually to us. Nah. Milley did one thing right for once and suddenly he’s a hero? Not buying it. As far as sabotaging Afghanistan mission, the military screwed that up royally for twenty years. |
+1 There were threads about this at the time, people were very alarmed, some prescient stuff in here. https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/925986.page |
Yes, Milley did that one thing right. You don't have to buy it, but most people are pretty consistent on whether or not they want a nuclear war with China. You might have doubts, but most people don't. |
There are people out there working to undermine our institutions and destroy our country. These people are republicans and it is disgusting. |
Remember how the Trump-heads called us "hysterical" and much much worse for being worried about what we could see with our very own eyes? |
You need to read the Constitution. |
DP.. history is not going to be kind to Trump. History will see 1/6 and Trump for what it was.. an attempted overthrow of election results and the incoming POTUS. History will say that the election fraud claim was made up by Rs in a pathetic attempt to steal the election for themselves. Why? Because there are numerous court records and testimonies, by even Trump lovers like Powell, that show that the election was not stolen so history will consider the 1/6, Trump lovers as the hysterical ones. |
