This fucker called Grannie touring the Capitol an insurrectionist. He called the Summer of Looting and Burning, a protest and explicitly told Trump it wasn't an insurrection.

Guess who talked him out of it?

Washington (CNN)The top US general repeatedly pushed back on then-President Donald Trump's argument that the military should intervene violently in order to quell the civil unrest that erupted around the country last year. Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley often found he was the lone voice of opposition to those demands during heated Oval Office discussions, according to excerpts of a new book, obtained by CNN, from Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender.
Titled "Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost," the book reveals new details about how Trump's language became increasingly violent during Oval Office meetings as protests in Seattle and Portland began to receive attention from cable new outlets. The President would highlight videos that showed law enforcement getting physical with protesters and tell his administration he wanted to see more of that behavior, the excerpts show.

"That's how you're supposed to handle these people," Trump told his top law enforcement and military officials, according to Bender. "Crack their skulls!"

Trump also told his team that he wanted the military to go in and "beat the f--k out" of the civil rights protesters, Bender writes.

"Just shoot them," Trump said on multiple occasions inside the Oval Office, according to the excerpts.

When Milley and then-Attorney General William Barr would push back, Trump toned it down, but only slightly, Bender adds.
"Well, shoot them in the leg—or maybe the foot," Trump said. "But be hard on them!"

The new details about how Milley and a handful of other senior officials were forced to confront Trump's increasingly volatile behavior during the final months of his presidency only add to an already detailed portrait of dysfunction inside the White House at that time.
It also underscores the level of tension between Trump and top Pentagon officials leading up to the presidential election last November.
CNN has reached out to Trump about the claims in Bender's book. A spokesperson for Milley declined to comment.

Fucking Cuck. I saw shit during the "Protests" that were worse than the invasion of Iraq.

At times, Milley also clashed with top White House officials who sought to encourage the then-President's behavior.
During one Oval Office debate, senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller chimed in, equating the scenes unfolding on his television to those in a third-world country and claiming major American cities had been turned into war zones.
"These cities are burning," Miller warned, according to the excerpts.
The comment infuriated Milley, who viewed Miller as not only wrong but out of his lane,
Bender writes, noting the Army general who had commanded troops in Iraq and Afghanistan spun around in his seat and pointed a finger directly at Miller.
"Shut the f--k up, Stephen," Milley snapped, according to the excerpts.
'What we have, Mr. President, is a protest'



More cuckery from this Perfumed Prince suck up who was a ranking officer in multiple lost wars:


Still, Milley made a concerted effort to stay in Washington as much as possible during those final months. A significant concern for Milley at the time was how to advise Trump if he decided to invoke the Insurrection Act in the wake of civil unrest -- a move that would have military force on the streets against civilians.
Ultimately, Trump never invoked the Insurrection Act but repeatedly suggested doing so during the end of his tenure -- putting Milley and former Defense Secretary Mark Esper in a complicated situation each time.
Both Milley and Esper were deeply opposed to the idea when Trump first suggested it last June following protests against police brutality and racial injustice (SIC) in the wake of George Floyd's death.
According to Bender, Milley viewed the unrest around Floyd's death as a political problem, not a military one.
He told the President there were more than enough reserves in the National Guard to support law enforcement responding to the protests. Milley told him that invoking the Insurrection Act would shift responsibility for the protests from local authorities directly to the President, according to the excerpts obtained by CNN.
Milley spotted President Abraham Lincoln's portrait hanging just to the right of Trump and pointed directly at it, Bender writes.
"That guy had an insurrection," Milley said. "What we have, Mr. President, is a protest."


Yet Milley characterized 1/6, the march of Grandmas and 73-year old Veteran Pastors, as an insurrection. Just not the burning and looting of multiple cities.

The military wasn’t ever necessary.

The police and national guard could have handled everything.

But Democrat mayors had a vested interest in the very violent protests. And they ordered their police departments to stand down. This was proven in Los Angeles where rioters destroyed many business and continued unabated, yet riots after the Lakers and Dodgers championships were quelled within a couple hours.

That the mainstream media hasn’t investigated those stories in Seattle, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and Portland is demonstrative of how corrupt ABC, CBS, and NBC really are.

Scott is correct...@NDU_EDU reports directly to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs - the idea that "white rage" drove the 6th Jan riot is insane and bigoted...plus the fact Mark Milley promoted a pure racist term of 'white rage' as something he suffers from...he needs to go...

They (the Generals) didn't talk about CRT and White Rage around me - Trump says prior to Rally.

If the Establishment dropped Golf and CRT, and starting playing Ping Bong and joining the Moonies, Generals would suddenly discover a love for green tables, wood paddles, and the Rev. Sung Yung Moon

Sadly, this seems to show that are generals like Milley are just cheap whores like the rest of the administration and the MSM.

CNN insider news break on demonic ravings of Trump? Yeah, I believe every word.

The problem with the military’s embrace of critical race theory and other forms of identity politics is threefold. Firstly, they destroy trust and undermine unit cohesion. Secondly, they undermine trust between political and military leaders on the one hand and those they lead on the other. And finally, they undermine trust between the military as an institution and the public.

They have Milley's Epstein tapes.

Lol, maybe so. That could explain his sudden conversion to wokeness.

Well isn't he the treasonous fuck for not following orders?
17   Ceffer   2021 Jul 16, 10:40am  

Milley is so over the top, I wonder if he isn't just an MSM parody who may be purposely running interference for Trump in some way.

Give the KommieKunts and administration some gristle and fake gloating to chew on while Trump and his military are doing something else more important covertly? It's nearly impossible to believe a military general can act and speak like this, he's like the crazy general from Doctor Strangelove.

However, in this day and age, who knows? The shadow dances continue.

More likely just another political general of the type that rises to the top during peacetime.

Greenwald is the only trustworthy journalist in the world because he writes with a Brazilian toddler's penis in his mouth, just like Gaetz.

First, he's not the only trustworthy journalist in the world, but he's one of the few.

Second, who gives a shit if he's a fag? Where has he made an error in his reporting?

I disagree with his politics. As long as he's not raping his kids, I have have no problem with him as an individual. Unusual lifestyle, but some can make it work. He and his gay partner might be great parents. As long as he and his partner aren't fucking evil pedophiles, I think their children are better off with them as parents, than a single woman.

Oh wait. Nothing you write is sincere EVER. And no chance of an actual true thought.

@SumatraBosch Greenwald has left the CNN plantation.

You could leave too. You should.

He's just ApocalypseFucksNow.

I can more easily squeeze water from a stone than anybody can get an actual true thought from him. You have no idea what he thinks, because he just creates disruption.

You explained to me his humor, I just don't find it funny, but if other people do, fine. I just view everything he writes as trolling. An opinion that is simply made to evoke a response, that he doesn't care about. I don't understand trolls. To me the point of communication is to understand points of view, but he gives out entirely false ones. It's an insane narcissism. I view this as profound childishness. It just wants attention - ANY attention.

Ignore my opinion on him. I feel like I kind of advocated removing AFN before, even if I express an opinion on that again, ignore me. I'll just put him on ignore again. No information, no point.
