Well thank goodness the old general won’t have to walk the line on President Magoo. Whew, I feel so much better, no rogue in the White House now…
That might be cruel or unusual punishment, and I'm all about the rules, don'tcha know.
Unless the blunder in Afghanistan was because he went rogue.Well thank goodness the old general won’t have to walk the line on President Magoo. Whew, I feel so much better, no rogue in the White House now…
Milley is in desperate need of a general court martial!
VINDEMAN??? VINDEMAN DA DOUCHE???
Say not SO!!
well, CLEARLY there is no honor among thieves!!
If he is trying to get on the right side of history then he is a couple of years too late.
In other terms, a highly placed spyQuote:
"What's more, Milley told China he'd warn them if the United States was going to attack!"
OK, what I just said to that one is unprintable in a family forum, it sort of starts with cussing in Comic book speak and moves on to Anglo-Saxon profanity.
Well, they give out a lot of them.I believe it is a Rresidential Challenge Coin. And that says a LOT right there...
Let’s think about this. This is a top US general secretly contacting a top Chinese general pledging to notify him of any coming attack without the Commander in Chief’s knowledge. In doing so, he would be betraying the American service members who would be carrying out such an attack, almost certainly leading to more casualties. Keep in mind in the event of an attack, we would then be at war with the Chinese, making them an enemy nation at that point.§2381. Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
Still, I prefer execution by staking him down, naked, between 2 or more red ant mounds in the West Texas desert...and painting his 'privates' with honey. It's how the Apaches dealt with their worst criminals.
This, of course, is a brazenly improper action as only the president can dictate the nuclear use and Milley was trying to do an end-run around him with this.“You never know what a president’s trigger point is,” Milley told his senior staff, according to the book.
In response, Milley took extraordinary action, and called a secret meeting in his Pentagon office on January 8 to review the process for military action, including launching nuclear weapons. Speaking to senior military officials in charge of the National Military Command Center, the Pentagon’s war room, Milley instructed them not to take orders from anyone unless he was involved.
“No matter what you are told, you do the procedure. You do the process. And I’m part of that procedure,” Milley told the officers, according to the book. He then went around the room, looked each officer in the eye, and asked them to verbally confirm they understood.
After the call, then Milley took action to make any nuclear decisions have to go through him.Pelosi pushed back.
“What I’m saying to you is that if they couldn’t even stop him from an assault on the Capitol, who even knows what else he may do? And is there anybody in charge at the White House who was doing anything but kissing his fat butt all over this?”
Pelosi continued, “You know he’s crazy. He’s been crazy for a long time.”
According to Woodward and Costa, Milley responded, “Madam Speaker, I agree with you on everything.”
After the call, Milley decided he had to act. He told his top service chiefs to watch everything “all the time.” He called the director of the National Security Agency, Paul Nakasone, and told him, “Needles up … keep watching, scan.” And he told then-CIA Director Gina Haspel, “Aggressively watch everything, 360.”
Any American with two brain cells and a set of balls should be upset at this, and openly upset. If this story gets no traction, then we are completely lost as a sovereign nation.
HUGE: Mark Milley Pledged to the Chinese to Commit Treason in Order to Undermine Donald Trump

In political settings, the word treason is thrown around a lot, and in almost every case it’s used in a way that does not legally meet the definition of the world. Yet, courtesy of Gen. Mark Milley, the disgraced Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Joe Biden, we finally have a situation where the term is applicable.
In a jaw-dropping report, it’s been revealed that Milley pledged to the Chinese military to commit treason in order to undermine Donald Trump.

The move to alert the CCP would have taken place via a secret backchannel set up by Milley and not sanctioned by the White House. For those who want to quibble with the term treason being used, here’s the legal definition of the act under 18 USC Ch. 115.

Keep in mind in the event of an attack, we would then be at war with the Chinese, making them an enemy nation at that point.
I realize the fact-checkers are going to do their best to defend this, but assuming the report (courtesy of a new book by WaPo associate editor Bob Woodward and political reporter Robert Costa) is true, that’s treason, folks.
There is no “Well, I didn’t agree with the president” exemption to the law. And even putting aside the legal ramifications of what Milley pledged to do, it’s still an incredibly disturbing, disgusting act on its face. I understand he hated Donald Trump, but to promise to give aid and comfort to the enemy in response to that hatred is next-level stuff. It’s the kind of thing you’d expect to have read in a spy novel, not be admitted to by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Something has to happen here. Milley already needed to resign over the catastrophe that transpired in Afghanistan. Heck, he should have resigned for pushing woke-ism in the military. But this is far beyond any of that. This is a US general telling our top military and geopolitical enemy that he’d take their side in an attack and put American service members in grave danger to do so, all while hiding it from the president.
Can we also note that this is another example of America’s establishment class being subservient to China? Does anyone think a Chinese official would give us a heads up in the event of a surprise attack? Of course, they wouldn’t. This is dangerous stuff.
We do not elect generals and they do not have the right to operate this way. Milley, whether he likes it or not, is supposed to be accountable to elected officials. That he essentially set up his own military dictatorship while serving under Trump is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in a very long time.
Or staked out and cut a small whole in the belly used to pull out a string of intestine. Then they can watch what the coyotes are having for supper.Still, I prefer execution by staking him down, naked, between 2 or more red ant mounds in the West Texas desert...and painting his 'privates' with honey.

Like I said earlier...it's ****ing treason

How many other folks around him are also compromised either knowing or without their knowledge? Or as Nightwolf said, "How far down does this rot go?"
I think there's some folks in Leavenworth who could help Milley understand not just white rage, as he told Congress that he wanted to understand, but plain old red-blooded American traitor-hating rage.
And all this crap of bypassing the rules just because these arrogant spoiled pricks think they know better is how we got here.
Let him choose, firing squad or hanging, I don't care which.
Well, they give out a lot of them.
Being that this is coming from the Arch-Liar Bob Woodward, that's the only thing keeping me from losing my mind on this one. He may be right, but my distrust of him provides a buffer.
If this is true, that is naked treason.
Talk About a Coup: It Was Pelosi Who Pushed Milley to Act Against Trump
By Nick Arama | Sep 14, 2021 5:00 PM ET
There’s an incredible report that broke today about improper actions by Gen. Mark Milley after the Capitol riot.
According to the report, Milley tried to interfere with Trump’s ability to solely control a nuclear decision.
From CNN:
This, of course, is a brazenly improper action as only the president can dictate the nuclear use and Milley was trying to do an end-run around him with this.
On top of that, as we reported earlier, Milley allegedly contacted his Chinese counterpart and told him he would warn him if we were going to attack — another astonishingly improper action which was reportedly done without the knowledge of President Donald Trump.
View: https://twitter.com/JerryDunleavy/status/1437820736366944262?s=20
Now there are a lot of things we can call that — bordering on treason might be one of them. But at the least, he should be booted as Joint Chiefs Chair for that reason alone, not to mention the horrible debacle he left in Afghanistan.
But if you’ve been following along here, you may remember another story I wrote back on Jan. 9. Milley’s improper actions followed a call from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) who wanted Milley to stand in the way of Trump taking any military action. As I wrote at the time, she was effectively trying to foment a coup against the legally elected president of the U.S. and interfere with his military power, when she had no ability to do so. It doesn’t matter what they think or their politics, they were acting against the president of the United States and his duly-given constitutional power.

Then there was this report on Jan. 8.

So, in other words, Pelosi was indeed fomenting a coup with the military against Trump, and Milley actually took concrete steps to interfere with that presidential authority.
They were committing the very insurrection/coup of which they accused Trump. Will the GOP finally act on this? This is intolerable and completely unconstitutional.
