Retired Gen. Mark Milley Calls Trump ‘A Total Fascist’

Can’t believe he said that!

Milley’s comments highlight a serious concern; labeling Trump a “total fascist” underscores the danger many see in his rhetoric and behavior. It’s alarming how much power such figures can wield over a divided nation.

Milley calling Trump a fascist is pretty bold, but it kinda lines up with the chaos we’ve seen. Makes you wonder what’s next.

A total fascist that Miley deferred to for years. Miley is the reason for the “suckers and losers” statement from Drump.

Milley saw it first hand and loves his country…T-Rump is ‘A Total Fascist’ resist now with your vote.

I just noticed how much “total fascist” sounds like “total fat shit.”

I hope Kamala wins for obvious reasons. However, I hope she wins so this man gets to live and die a natural life as well.

As is always the case for some reason, what’s going to be lost in this is that Trump chose Milley as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which means that Trump’s best-case-scenario defense (“this guy is a part of the swamp and is out to get me”) *still* implicates Trump as being absolute terrible at choosing people to work with. This happens all the time and is never called out. I know there’s limited time and attention span to call out all of Trump’s bullshit, but *he was the one who chose these people*. If Milley is a liar just saying things to take Trump down, the question should then be about why Trump has such a terrible barometer when it comes to choosing people.

It’s frustrating that Trump’s corruption gets all of the attention, because his incompetence should be far more than enough to disqualify him from ever being president again. He chose as his Comms Director a guy (The Mooch) who didn’t know that anything said to a journalist is on the record unless specified otherwise. Trump had been a public figure for 40 years at that point and didn’t know *a single* person who would be a qualified mouthpiece for his administration? 40 years in the public sphere and not one name comes to mind of someone who can be a good PR spin doctor for you? That is a mind-blowing amount of incompetence that gets swept under the rug as a low-level offense in comparison to the rest of the problems. Then things like this with Milley come up and the focus is on the inevitable Trump response of “Mark Milley is by far the worst chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff this Country has ever had” instead of the focus being on—why is Trump so bad about choosing people who could help him achieve his own goals?

It’s not even like choosing Betsy DeVos as the Secretary of Education as a deliberate move to cripple the department. He is so bad about choosing people who could have helped him get reelected in 2020. He’s a complete and total failure as a leader, and it’s not even in just a “I’m a Democrat and I find his leadership style appalling” way. His own supporters should have been furious with him that he didn’t surround himself by the sort of people who could build the wall or repeal Obamacare. Milley’s right that he’s a fascist. What should be more obvious and talked about is that **he’s not even remotely good at being a fascist.**

It’s always fun when these weirdos bring up 6 year old news to us….anywhere else but the internet we would be like “I know…..this fucking guy”…

If trump wins redditors gonna protest for days. Too much echo in here

Unlike Gen. McMaster, Milley can at least call out Trump for who he is and not quibble about just how bad Trump really was.

Yup.

>A running concern for Milley was the prospect of Trump pushing the nation into a military conflict with Iran. He saw this as a real threat, in part because of a meeting with the President in the early months of 2020, at which one of Trump’s advisers raised the prospect of taking military action to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons if Trump were to lose the election. At another meeting, at which Trump was not present, some of the President’s foreign-policy advisers again pushed military action against Iran. Milley later said that, when he asked why they were so intent on attacking Iran, Vice-President Mike Pence replied, “Because they are evil.”

>Military members are not, however, absolved of moral responsibility simply because orders are within the limits of the law, for they also take an oath to “support and defend” and to “bear true faith and allegiance” to the Constitution.

>On June 2, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff – the highest-ranking uniformed officer in the U.S. military – went so far as to issue a service-wide memo reminding troops of that oath, one that may well be at odds with what the president may order them to do if he were to send them back into U.S. cities.

Mark Milley held a top-secret meeting with senior military officials to take action against then Commander-in-chief Donald Trump, blocking the president from potentially launching nuclear weapons and ordering staff to ignore all orders except Milley’s, a new book entitled “Peril” by journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa revealed, as reported by CNN on Tuesday.

>U.S. General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called General Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army on Oct. 30, 2020 – four days before the election – and again on Jan. 8, two days after Trump supporters led a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol, the newspaper reported.

>In the calls, Milley sought to assure Li the United States was stable and not going to attack and, if there were to be an attack, he would alert his counterpart ahead of time, the report said.

In equally surprising news, he affirms that the Pope is Catholic.
