    Milley and the other Generals and officers working for Milley have absolutely no command authority.

    During WW2 they would have. But after WW2 all authority to command was removed by a law passed at the end of the war.

    I don't really blame Trump for "thinking outside the box" and looking at all possibilities but that doesn't mean he needs to spout off about everything either. Like it or not, his words have power and people listen to him. A few died from ingesting disinfectant. 400,000 died of COVID under his term. A couple hundred have been arrested and facing convictions for the Capitol riot, another few hundred were injured themselves along with 5 dead Capitol police officers (1 that day, 4 committed suicide after being at the riot), some people here clearly believe he was correct that rapists and murderers are coming to our southern borders and Biden is shipping in terrorists from Afghanistan.

    The reality is the people that hate others because of their nationality, race, color, religion and creed look up to Trump because he defines what they want "their" America to look like. The don't care about anything other than making sure nobody outside their chosen few (who look and love like they do) should have any rights in this country.

    No matter how you slice it, Trump is completely wrong for what he did to Pence and Giuliani. He couldn't have asked for more loyal people and he fed them both to the wolves. How his supporters justify that is beyond my understanding. If that's how he treats 1,000% loyalty, imagine how he treats people that give him less than that. That's not a president. That's a narcissistic bully who is probably a sadist as he craves constant chaos and destruction.

    You "JUST Heard"? :roflol:

    The October call is OLD News (and has been for ages) at this point.:bored:

    “His calls with the Chinese and others in October and January were in keeping with these duties and responsibilities conveying reassurance in order to maintain strategic stability,” said the spokesman, Col. Dave Butler.
    All of Milley’s calls were coordinated with the rest of the Department of Defense and other relevant agencies, Butler added.

    What they have trouble understanding (or simply refuse to understand) is that had the President initiated an armed attack on ANY foreign country, HE would have been acting unconstitutionally and illegally. Milley was just telling people, "that's not going to happen."

    Are you now admitting that Trump supporters engaged in violence at the Capitol on January 6th?

    Let me put it so you understand.
    I believe the press greatly exaggerated the claims of violence.

    If you are sleeping and I hit your car. Is that violence? Seriously, if I take a bat and bust your windows out, do you call that violence?
    When people get hurt, as did Ashli Babbitt, that is violence. So of course there was violence that day at the Capitol.

    As I recall, only North Korea was threatened by Trump. Say They are back up to their old tricks launching rockets at the Sea of Japan and making claims to launch more missiles.

    Lol you can ignore reality and my post but the facts remain. He still thinks he is president of the U.S after losing the 2020 election and you absolutely have no problem with that at all.. The fact that you think this is purely an act of Sanity on his part calls into question your ability to judge his mental state or anyone else’s. He EXEMPLIFIED to his followers at his rallies that you could flaunt life saving measures while 10s of thousands were dying of Covid-19 under his regime at the time. The fact that you believe this is an act of sanity calls into question your ability to judge Trump's or anyone's saity. You don't appear to know if Biden or Trump is the legitimate president.

    What are you blaming him for by saying spout off?
    We heard of one woman who fed her husband a product not approved by Trump. She should have called her own doctor.

    Not a lot of people took advantage of. It is likely she wanted to kill her husband.
    Trump went balls out defending America. I thank him for defending America.
    Pence could have set things up for the states to resolve the problems. And it would have happened fast. Now Americans are going back over the election to figure out how things went wrong.

    The NK's expect Geriatric Joe to send them shipments of free food and other stuff, just like all the other goofy-ass Democrat regimes have done for decades. Winter's coming! Somebody's got to feed little Kimmy's slaves! :knifefork:

    It was Trumps policy. So you believe Milley was authorized by Trump?

    This really really really isn't about Trump. I know you think it is, because everything is about Trump in your world, but in real life, this is about Milley. The idea that Trump was talking about launching an attack on China is simply absurd. This is about Milley's delusions which lead him to betray his country.

    That quote again: “General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”

    That's the quote of someone who's chosen to side with the enemy.

    Look, I get it, you are sticking with your story because you basically have no choice in a partisan, ideological sense. But we can all read what he said and if you want to make up an imaginary meaning to replace his actual words, knock yourself out.

    Apparently, there were a lot of people here and abroad who thought otherwise.

    It was more than policy...it was law. So, it was Trump's policy by default. And, yes, Trump nominated Milley for his job and he was confirmed by the Senate.

    Some people died from ingesting bleach because the liberal media lied and say trump told them to ingest bleach. Trump never told anyone to ingest bleach and it intellectually dishonest (or a deliberate lie) to suggest that he did. The moral of the story. Believing the fake news is real can be dangerous to one's health.

    By law..."it's not going to be a surprise." Got it "Lil Mike?" Unless, of course, you think the President has the right to disregard the Constitution and break U.S. law?

    Maybe he was standing around the corner, just minding his own business, when Milley walked past! He was on his cellphone admitting to everything!

    You keep trying to distract from Milley's words.

    “General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”

    I don't know why you continue to respond. You are clearly ignoring the text for your imaginary meanings, and I have nothing to contribute to that little play inside your head.

    What is it that bothers you about this...he's saying there won't be a surprise attack against you. That's already in U.S. law. He's reassuring the Chinese that the U.S. government is still functioning within the rules. You think that's bad?
