10/1. What happen to the author of this thread? I didnt start this ??
Goofy……
Real Trump Derangement is following a child into oblivion. Enjoy.
Now specific to this allegation....Bob Woodward has a history of working the facts to make things more salacious in his books. He is selling a book for profit....we should all get that. I think we need to know more about what actually transpired versus what was claimed in the book.
As Hannity said...either the General is guilty as claimed....or Bob Woodward is lying. If Woodward is lying....the General will have a great lawsuit against the Washington Post and Woodward.
*What if* the Chinese thought Trump might launch a temper tantrum first strike and they decided to pre-empt that by striking first?
"What if" arguments prove nothing.
Id love to see a transcript of the call though-you know like the previous administration.

HA HA HA HA. Nope, nada, zippo, zero. The man colluded with a foreign entity without disclosing or being ordered by his commanding officer. If anyone is a tantrum throwing toddler it's the sniffer in chief, the ungreat bidenski...
Miley committed treason. END OF STORY.
Now, just HOW do we find out if it's true? A government investigation? LMAO!
Ain't happinin'. This country is D O N E. It was nice while it lasted.
If he actually did warn them in advance, sure without question it is.
Just representing your going to do something like this probably does go on in the intelligence/counter intelligence world. It can sow doubt and disinformation amongst potential enemies and could work to our advantage.
Miley probably didn't have good intentions here, but treason may be difficult to prove.
I have no confidence in Gen Milley at all. I'm hearing news reports many in the military have lost confidence in him too. IMO, he is not fit to continue serving based on his past actions and attitudes.
That said....in this current case...I want to know more before a toss out a serious charge of treason against a military member. I don't trust the Wash Post or Bob Woodward anymore than I trust the General.
Also...WRT to the phony claim Prez Trump was going to start a nuke war....that was an emotional, fake claim the Dems/Libs and left-wing media colluded on to stoke a false fear across the country. After the first impeachment failed to gain traction, the fake nuke claim was thrown out to see if it would stick and it apparently worked in some corners. Prez Trump has a documented history of not wanting to be in wars or other countries expending resources and lives. He doesn't start wars...he ends them. That is why the nuke claim never had any legs to begin with and has since been demonstrated to be a false claim.
that's a dangerous dangerous precedence isn't it ? especially for military chain of command, right ?
Milley is nothing more than a water carrier for leftists. You can lump him in with idiots like Don Lemon, Joy Behar, 99% of Hollywood and professional athletes.
I question his ability to run anything if he TRULY thought Trump was planning to attack China. Such a moron.
Instead if defending the damage that your vote is causing the country, tell us what good has come to America since he took office? And I'm not talking about all the illegals aliens coming here.
"tell us what good has come to America since (Biden) took office?"
Trump is no longer near the levers of power. I'll settle for that. (And I suspect so will the General, even if he is cashiered.)
Y'all seem not to understand that a FOUR STAR GENERAL was AFRAID of what Trump might do or say, and how other countries might interpret and react to that.
Trump was and remains a wretched menace, bent on destroying any and all faith in American democracy because he *lost*. Whiny child.
With any luck, we'll get to see how you react if he gets back in, in 2024. By the way, colluding with the enemy is not how democracy works.
Oh wait...Trump colluded with Russia right?! Lol!
This is the perception the Libs and media wanted you to believe. Don't be so gullible. IAW Woodard's book....wasn't it Stretched Pelosi who feigned fear to the General that added fuel to a ginned up fire?? If anything, she duped the gullible, woke General....shame on both of them. And that's if we take Woodward's book as 100% gospel. I'll default back to what I said earlier.....use caution when Woodward or the Wash Post report something. (Remember the fake Sandman kid incident the Wash Post pushed?) Show me the un-doctored evidence of what happened and then we can go from there.
So you're good with the Charlie Foxtrot in 'Stan? Billions of $$ in equipment left. Americans left. Americans killed. And you're happy cuz the bad orange hair man is gone?
Huge spike in fuel and food prices. And you're happy cuz the bad orange hair man is gone?
A general conspiring with the enemy, and THAT is exactly what it is? And you're happy cuz the bad orange hair man is gone?
Begging OPEC and Russia to open the faucet because of his ****ed up energy policy. And you're happy cuz the bad orange hair man is gone?
Crime, serious violent crime, on the rise because of liberal policies. And you're happy cuz the bad orange hair man is gone?
As Kathy once said HYLYFM?
Trump could have started moving that stuff out of AFG when the treaty was signed and we knew we were leaving. Why didn't he? Because the money talks.
Does anyone actually think that all these little 'political philosophy' discussions mean squat to the MIC million- and billion-aires?
China succeeded in getting some destabilization in our chain of command by pretending Trump's "America first" talk was scary.
Milley isn't a patriot for what he did. He is a pawn who likely acted in the best interest of himself, his agenda and his future ahead of the rules and his duty.
Treason? Not sure. Dereliction of duty? Yes, if the reporting is accurate.
BUT NO! And since he and his handlers are at the helm, its all on the big guy……and his handlers.
.
Ike warned us.
I don't care how you twist it...admit it...ya got nothing! But you already knew that!
Just contacting the Chinese in an official manner was a crime. Generals do not make Foreign Policy. Period. If asked or given official permission they may be allowed contact. It's what they tried to hang Flynn on except for, well, he was working with official capacity under Presidential Appointment in the State Dept. So they had to make up something else....
Generals take orders from their Commander in Chief. Period. Not to decide if it's a good order. They advise, that's it. Going rogue, defying orders or sabotaging orders... at minimum cause for Court Martial. Same as if a lower rank defied or sabotaged one of their orders. Think a President is crazy? I believe congress is the only body that can declare that and there is a legal process.
This is why liberals have no credibility. They have no understanding of Constitution, Military conduct or law, No rules or ethical foundations at all. Only "this is what I want" ...... currently power and control over everyone and everything. And "I don't care how I get it". It's why double standards don't bother them, it's why lies don't bother them.
Because..... "it was for a good cause...." or "it was for your own good...." or the classic "they were offended" justifies anything and everything. It's not about right and wrong. It's about justifying evil actions. Or rather, the evil ones they approve of.
TD I think you have some good points but Trump was not president yet when Flynn did what he did. He was absolutely not in official capacity.
I agree that I would like to know more about what transpired before passing judgment. Specifically, I want to know if any laws were violated. If yes, then Milley should be charged and have his day in court.
Claiming he was worried about Trumps mental state and war with China? I did not hear anything Trump said publicly in his last days in office relating to war with China.. Possibly there were things said behind close doors? If true, I want to hear Milleys words under oath.
Seriously, are you people stupid? The guy has written multiple books that the right calls "fake news/didn't happen" etc, 90% of his stuff bashes trump and is called fake news. But here's one instance where it's gospel all of a sudden.
AND ROFL... "treason" for what?
A general sworn to defend the constitution telling his Chinese counter part "hey our crazy leader who just attempted a coup and has said he likes and wants to use nukes might tweet that he's going to nuke you for no reason, don't worry about that I will make sure it's prevented. So don't nuke us back."
And that's treason?!?!?!?!?
Treason isn't calling a foreign power and asking them to investigate a direct political rival???!!?! Even though you control your own justice department that could investigate that?! You're head would implode if any dem did that.
Treason isn't inciting a coup d'état.... "we're gonna walk down there, and I'll be there with you"!??!?!?
Not only is your hypocrisy unbounded(fake news author, but also true this one time). I've come to the conclusion that many here are Anti-Americans. Some are just dumb bless their hearts, and have been so easily radicalized by the republican's/moscow propaganda machine. But many are smart enough to realize what's happening, it's more, many are simply Anti-American. You don't care about America/democracy/the constitution. It's plain as day at this point. I gave people a pass voting for trump in 2016. But at this point, many of you have just become a giant anti-american snow ball. There's no other conclusion to make when you don't see soliciting a foreign power in an election as treasonous, still support/believe a chronic liar, support an insurrection/assassination of the VP/think it was really ANTIFA, and actually think the election was rigged.
You're anti-American. It's as simple as that.
Anything not pro trump = bad
Anything pro trump = good
Take your anti-American snowball ass out of my country and park it in St. Petersburg, they and the republican party helped roll you into that Anti-American ball anyway.
(try for once in your life to answer without saying..."but biden..., but the dems..., but obama... but liberals..." I bet you can't. Why? because you can't actually defend most of what trump has done, you just try to make the other side seem worse)
Removed oil and gas lobbies and allies from the department of interior
Lowered the jobless rate
Rolled back the Waters of the U.S. definition from Trump administration order to something that will actually protect our nations waters
Those are a few off the top on my head.
That’s a real tank slapper! Thanks for the laugh!
Really?!...where...China?!
Cuz, in the America I live in, businesses are begging for people to come and work. From McDonald's, all the way up to the semiconductor manufacturing industry... All UNDERSTAFFED!
So, do tell...where are all those jobless folks working now?
Miley and his actions during the trump presidency and trumps actions during his presidecny have NOTHING to do with BIDENS current actions. Like me bringing up how bad stalin is and you go "yeah but mussolini did...."
laughable.
@hackabow
please tell me you are joking? There's whores who have spent more time in church than trump has... and that's after he was done raw dogging them while married.
"populating his cabinent"??? ROFL... Trump filled and fired nearly every position of his cabinet at least once, some up to 4 times! He filled and drained his own fictitious swamp!.
Also have you heard of Matt Gaetz? Literally paid underage prostitutes for sex. and the republican party defended him.
Say what you want about shitty democratic policy. In the grand scheme of things Cuomo hugged a woman too long and the dems united and outed him. The republican party is a shamble of a group. Even the taliban has more backbone and are more principled(albeit 13th century principles but principled nonetheless) than they are at this point.
....
Please... do your best. Defend trump's actions without bringing up the dems, biden, obama, hillary, or anything related to the left. You can't.
You asked. Don’t get out of shape cause I answered. Don’t go moving the goal posts either.
From: DanaC16-Sep-21 "70, imo that's plenty. ;-)"
So by your lack of words,, because you have been asked a couple times now and cannot give any. Even you know he has done nothing good for this country...
Not for nothing, but I think this somes up Dana's position on how much Dana cares about preserving this great country and our freedoms. But would rather see it keep going in this direction and burn to ground so your feelings don't get hurt.
Thanks for showing your true colors Dana. You obviously could care less about this country. You deserve neither safety, or freedom! You and your likes truly deserve the catastrophe this administration is going to reign down on this country if we let it.
Shame on you! You should be ashamed to call yourself an American.
But I also respect your right to your opinion. That's what being American is about.
Yea, shame on you for using your constitutional rights to free speech and voting for whomever you like for whatever reason.
Just curious, what war(s) has DJT ended?
tfic
That is a figure of speech to put in context what Prez Trump's view is on having U.S. troops fighting in foreign lands. Right or wrong.....he initiated the AFG pull out, he pulled most of the troops out of Syria where we were fighting and he also pulled most of the troops out of Iraq. All of those places are where we had a long military force presence in. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any country where he sent troops into to fight???
That's great,...drop in the bucket compared to the 10 million lost.
Oops...did I move the goalpoast?!!!! I'm not bent out of shape...really!
It still doesn't make up for the lack of workers that refuse to go back to work while sucking off the government COVID teet. It's not hard to show big gains, shortly after you CREATE big losses...now is it?
I got to that and decided he won the thread. There was no reason to read past that
I'm curious, are you a freshman at Berkeley College?
Personally I would be more concerned about Joe with the football than Trump.

“I think it’s best that I reserve my comments on the record until I do that in front of the lawmakers who have the lawful responsibility to oversee the U.S. military,” Milley said. “I’ll go into any level of detail Congress wants to go into in a couple of weeks.”
Milley and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin are scheduled to testify Sept. 28 before the Senate Armed Services Committee, in what initially was going to be a hearing on the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan and the chaotic evacuation of Americans, Afghans and others from that country.
Now, however, Milley is expected to face tough questioning on the telephone calls, which came during Trump’s turbulent last months in office as he challenged the results of the 2020 election. The second call, on Jan. 8, came two days after a violent mob attacked the U.S. Capitol in an effort to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden's White House victory. "
Love the illuminati buttons ;-)
I get that tragic mistakes happen in war but if this wasn't a dem admin the media would have the knives out.
Trial followed by Firing Squad is the appropriate punishment for Milley. He did more to damage the constitution and the country than Trump ever did. Milley has set the precedent that Generals, not the President, will be in command of the military based upon their own judgement. How anyone can defend that is beyond me.
That's great new moto for the DNC to adopt!!!

If it happens to be the fact, I'll be there with you calling for heads. But the fact of the matter is that there just hasn't been any kind of substantial evidence to substantiate wide spread fraud on an industrial scale. There's been a lot of talk about it, but not proof. Maybe a lot of conjecture/small-scale fraud/big unsubstantiated stories here and there, but that happens on both sides. Not wide-spread fraud that could result in millions of ballots. A lot of claims, but no proof.
So if/when it doesn't happen, will you roll back your claims and for God's sake, stop prophesying and quoting prophesies? This has been going on for years: Case in point, people were saying years back that HRC was on her death bed, that she had cancer, that she had dementia, that she had a seizure disorder, a brain tumor, that she was on her last leg, that she wouldn't make it 3 months. And guess what? She's fine. Alive and kicking.
Seriously, the clairvoyance claims are ridiculous. Conservatives need to man up and realize that there's a ton of liberals in this country and that, although many conservatives were very happy with Trump, he alienated a lot of middle-of-the-road voters. I knew Trump was toast when I read about the 93 year old lady from Iowa who said she'd never voted in her life, but registered to vote against Trump because of his rhetoric.
Trump won because of who he was, but he lost because he took it too far and stepped on his own dick. And COVID fxxxed him. He'd have won if it weren't for COVID.
I wish the CF was still around so I could copy/paste so many of the same folk's words of prophesy that have been consistently wrong. Humans have a horrible track record at predicting the future.
Evidence says that the Dems will get hit hard in 2022. But the "trust me, this bombshell is about to drop" nonsense is just wishful thinking. If it were a bombshell, the mushroom cloud would already be being carried away on the prevailing winds. Bombs dont develop over months. They blow the Hell up and incinerate everything in the process. Everything else is saber-rattling.
Understatement of the day. Maybe the year. Wasn't so long ago that a lot of folks here were predicting 'President Pence in '24' ;-)
JBG you are totally full of crap. Pence abandoned his re-election campaign for governor when tapped for the VP slot. Is the rest of your alt-history just as crap-laden? You don't get to rewrite history to support your lame-arse narrative.
So why hasn't he already? Maybe doesn't want to be part of this phony fraud claim? Because after 60 fraud claims have already been shot down he knows better than to step in bullshite?
OANN is a network dedicated to praising Donald Trump. Objectivity? 'News'? Only if it serves Trump. AZ is reporting *nothing* because they *have* nothing, and they're trying desperately to spin gold from nothing. Meanwhile, every day there's false hope, Trump still rakes in money from the gullible.
When the 'audit' results show nothing they'll find another BS narrative, maybe conduct vote audits in the US Virgin Islands? Anything to keep the money coming in.
Yes, he should be tried for treason along with quite a few others. Will never happen.
Terry
YES, you can, IF you promise to quote me whichever way it turns out ;-) Early indications are, this pig, like so may others ain't gonna fly.

I for one am thankful we have a Joint Chief who properly if doing his job.
Thank you General Milley.

Thank you General Milley.""
I didn't watch the hearing as I was in the woods most of the day. I just read the post-hearing news articles. In all the stories I read, I didn't see any specific name directing the General to make the October and January calls. That said....he may have been operating under written directives that outline what the CJCS job responsibilities are?? We'll need to hear what Sect Esper and the other guy ( Act-Sect Miller?) have to say about the Gen's testimony. One thing the hearings did bring to the forefront....the General talks too much to people writing books.....five I think it was. I suspect now that his tail feathers have been burnt by his eagerness to get his name in books....he won't be talking to too many book writers in the future.
The afghan withdrawal on the other hand…it sounds like Biden did not take his military advisors advice and then lied about it.
Concur about Prez Biden. He either flat out lied to the country or he had mental confusion when he was advised to keep some troops the in AFG. Neither is good for a sitting Prez. There should be more on that in the coming days.
There are 3 people testifying and stating that Prez Biden was told to leave some troops. Prez Biden says he wasn't told "as he can recall". The ball is in Biden's court as I see it. He will have to either continue to claim he was never told and stick with it......or have to fess up, admit/acknowledge he was indeed told and then admit he forgot that highly critical piece of advice that he was told. He loses either way.
Looking at his other massive failure at the border.....he will either have to admit he is an open borders guy or his border policy has failed. It was hilarious watching Jihad Jen state yesterday at the WH press conference the border is not open. She is clearly the female version of Baghdad Bob......making foolish claims that the rest of the world knows is a lie.
And if he doesn't? Who will you believe?
Inciting an insurrection/riot on January 6th. Eroding the foundation of our democracy with lies about election integrity. Greatly increased the division among Americans (as witnessed here with a few Trumpers calling for civil war). Made excuses for Russian meddling in our elections. Taking the word of Putin over our intelligence agencies. All-time record national deficit. Just a few of the top of my head...
The left just can not stop lying
And 'the right' can't let go of their denialism.
It's "Citing" (short for "inciting"). And the fact that you're hanging on to that media-fueled narrative (only one actual unarmed Patriot, shot in cold blood...wow, what an "Insurrection"), tells me all I need to know about you.
Just because they were unsuccessful (thank the heavens) doesn't mean it wasn't and insurrection. Because you defend the actions of the idiots on January 6th says all I need to know about you. And your anti-vax BS you parrot from alt-right wing nut social media propaganda.
