    trump is easily the worst potus in US history. We need to keep an eye on his surrogates who keep pushing his seditious big lie.

    More likely they were planning ways to put themselves in power....do you people never tire of pushing the "coup that never was" line of partisan hackery? Befuddled Joe and the Democratic 1 ring circus are running things so why don't you just sit back and enjoy it rather than being gobsmacked by every huckster selling a unicorn that farts pixie dust?

    Seriously? This is the first time that the military has been concerned that an outgoing president might order them to keep him in power.
    Dirty donny tried everything he could to stay in power, including trying to get the VP and Congress to ignore the will of the people in a free and fair election, and to get state officials to alter their counts to give him enough votes.
    Does anyone really doubt that he considered using the military to stay in power, or that he would have actually used them if he thought he could get away with it?

    Yeap such a great military man his prediction of course didn't happen so I guess his fear was unfounded, it almost sounds as if you really wanted it too so you could say it did but it didn't. lol. Number 2 in the book he also discusses how he still attacked the taliban after being ordered by the administration to stand down during the peace agreement between the afghan gov't and taliban, effectively killing the peace agreement. That's a direct violation of the law, you can't have a general overriding the President, that my friend is very dangerous. He is not elected, he doesn't make policy, his option is to resign not use the military to do his bidding. He literally admitted to doing the very thing he says he mistakenly thought Trump would do. Unreal.......

    And yet, there are no reports that he actually did try to order them to do such.

    It's funny...the left keeps hollering about Trump supporters believing all the lies from Trump et al and yet they grab onto every single sensationalist book meant to make money and holler "SEE!!! SEE!!! ORANGE MAN BAD!!!"

    What did the Atlanta Jewish times say about Biden 10 years ago?


    Have US based Mossad assets take out a president (Obama) deemed unfriendly to Israel, so that the current vp - Biden, who like LBJ before him would lie about it - could forcefully dictate us foreign policy to help Israel obliterate its enemies


    Is Joe Biden a Catholic? Not according to the AJT, they seem to believe (they know) he is a Zionist Jew

    Does that explain why the W 911 crowd of "republicans" supports him?

    There is a 100% correlation there. Which "republicans" support Biden and the steal?


    The Zionist 911 traitors

    W
    Cheney family
    Bolton
    Romney
    McConnell
    Murkowski
    Raffensberger
    Sasse
    Fox News, especially Rupert "Biden in a landslide, call AZ early for Biden" Murdoch (who was 100% for Bill Clinton in 1992)



    Now it all makes sense. This steal was all about preventing trump from bringing out the truth of 911.

    Other than Trump, for whom you have unbridled devotion, MAGA's really have no respect for anyone.

    The US Army Chief of Staff, appointed by Trump, says he feared his boss would attempt a coup and you give him no credit.

    While there was a futile challenge to the election results, while Trump led his supporters to believe that Pence could desertify the results, while there was the capitol riot, while the generals came out publicly to reassure the public that martial law would never be implemented.

    Pathetic.

    Yes, cutting this out of his post and pretending to ignore it is VERY Pathetic.....

    Number 2 in the book he also discusses how he still attacked the taliban after being ordered by the administration to stand down during the peace agreement between the afghan gov't and taliban, effectively killing the peace agreement.

    How does that discredit his fear of a Trump coup?

    That's irrelevant.

    For MAGAs, no one is ever credible enough to criticize Trump.

    It's a cult.

    My God, is there no crazy conspiracy theory you don't believe?

    Biden is a Jew?
    Where did that nugget of information come from? Daily Stormer?

    That would be an unlawful order and ever since the My Lai massacre in Vietnam every general down to the lowly private knows they have the right to refuse this type of order. It's a shame some generals are setting a bad example because of partisan politics. This type of thinking is cancerous throughout the ranks. What they should be making clear is this would be an unlawful order and must be refused.

    More ignorant projection from you, I certainly don't have unbridled support for Trump. That your issue, you can't discuss anything without profiling, you are the poster child hypocrite progressive my friend. Sorry it didn't happen, this general is making money off of Trump living in your head, congrats. This general also is doing the very thing you were sooooo scared Trump was doing and he lead the military. Scary stuff if you get past the Trump BS.

    Dirty donny didn’t give the order - but the fact that Milley (who was dealing with donny regularly) thought he needed to plan, in case the order was given, is troubling.

    Don’t you people understand how books are sold and how anyone can feel like something will happen and can’t get sued for it. A general can say he felt like Trump would strap the nuclear keys and bomb NK in the middle of the night. People can feel
    Anything and sell lots of trash.

    Milley isn't the author of the book.

    *Trump does a lot of stuff that calls into question the integrity of the election, thereby staging a coup.*
    General says this stuff led him to believe that Trump was planning a coup.
    Trump supporters:
    "Trump wasn't trying to overthrow the government!!!"

    He’s been around a long time. Obama didn’t like him. Mad Dog Mattis didn’t like him.
