to keep a wounded vet who sang God Bless America out of sight.
Also, Milley predicted J6 months ahead of time, but our Federalist Society head of the FBI claims there was a lack of intelligence. Wray lied his ass off to Congress, General Milley knew, and Christopher Wray knew.

(9,148 posts)housecleaning ASAP in 2021 (Secret Service, DOJ, CIA, etc.) The American people deserved to have had the corruption and fascism cleansed as much as possible after Trumps poison. I will never understand why Democratic presidents are often so passive in the face of pure evil and malevolence and fascist ideology.

(22,905 posts)Normal times preclude the military from making political points. So, it's a relief to see they know when that rule no longer applies.

(32,314 posts)Trump told General Milley to keep wounded veterans out of sight.
I live among Magats and damn straight, tomorrow when I play golf and run into them I am going to ask what they think about this?
Maybe they will blow it off, will the Magat veterans blow it off?

(5,058 posts)Did you forget the numerous things he called McCain, the gold star family and other s*** before? They do not care.
Do you actually believe any of the republicans really respect the military?
Straw Man
(6,946 posts)It's that they don't believe it. Their chosen news outlets don't report it, and the first thing Trump did in his march to power was to convince his followers that the mainstream media are liars and "the enemy of the people." It's Lesson One in the fascist playbook.

The Magat Party is aligned with Putin and is a threat to our national security. Congressional Magats are terrorists, except for Mitt Romney.

It wont change a thing this latest Atlantic article. The MAGAs will say it is all lies, and the MSM will play both sides
I briefly caught CNN interviewing someone from the insurrection caucus blaming Biden and the Democrats for any shutdown because of the Democrats reckless spending. Absolutely no challenge against the falsehoods from the interviewer

(89 posts)I wish there were some Trump act that would cause his cult members to turn away. There is not. We must understand that they share this damaged mans values. And they wont be turning away from themselves. Instead of holding out hope for that day, our time, our voices, and our donations must all be directed toward electing the only honorable viable alternative, President Biden.
That said, I do believe these Milley revelations, added to the bottomless dumpster filled with this insecure small mans cruel words and deeds, will serve a purpose. They will get-out-the-vote among moral citizens. Thanks to the OP for highlighting this.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)Republicans knew this and more before and elected him. Maybe it'll disgust more now.
I have this episode recorded so just saw General Barry McCaffrey say that, when The Defendant put a retired lieutenant colonel and a gang of his coterie in as acting SecDef in the Dept of Defense, he said, "This guy is setting up a coup against the United States." And then he tried to carry it out. And still is.
That's already moved a few voters, but, as Heron and others believe, revisiting all this, should continue the process. Especially the stuff that hits at gut level for those trained to junk input to intellect.
