SwimModSponges Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) Chairman of the joint chiefs of staff under Trump- Quote Milley spoke to friends, lawmakers and colleagues about the threat of a coup, and the Joint Chiefs chairman felt he had to be "on guard" for what might come. "They may try, but they're not going to f**king succeed," Milley told his deputies, according to the authors. "You can't do this without the military. You can't do this without the CIA and the FBI. We're the guys with the guns." In the days leading up to January 6, Leonnig and Rucker write, Milley was worried about Trump's call to action. "Milley told his staff that he believed Trump was stoking unrest, possibly in hopes of an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act and call out the military." Milley viewed Trump as "the classic authoritarian leader with nothing to lose," the authors write, and he saw parallels between Adolf Hitler's rhetoric as a victim and savior and Trump's false claims of election fraud. "This is a Reichstag moment," Milley told aides, according to the book. "The gospel of the Führer." Ahead of a November pro-Trump "Million MAGA March" to protest the election results, Milley told aides he feared it "could be the modern American equivalent of 'brownshirts in the streets,'" referring to the pro-Nazi militia that fueled Hitler's rise to power. "Here's the deal, guys: These guys are Nazis, they're boogaloo boys, they're Proud Boys. These are the same people we fought in World War II. https://www.salon.com/2021/07/16/donald-trumps-military-coup-didnt-quite-happen--but-it-was-much-closer-than-we-knew/ Edited July 16, 2021 by SwimModSponges 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginguy Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/democratic-congresswoman-among-9-arrested-voting-rights-protest-n1274129 "WASHINGTON — Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio, was one of nine people arrested Thursday at a voting rights demonstration in the Hart Senate Office Building — an arrest the Congressional Black Caucus chair celebrated on social media. "#GoodTrouble," Beatty, 71, tweeted after she was led off in plastic cuffs — a reference to her late friend Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., the civil rights icon. Beatty, wearing a T-shirt that read "Protect Our Voting Rights," had led a group of protesters into the building in the Capitol complex, where they chanted "Pass For the People Act," the sweeping voting rights legislation that is stalled in the Senate. Capitol Police said the group was "demonstrating in a prohibited area on Capitol grounds" and ignored commands to disperse. Video of Beatty's arrest showed her chanting "Fight for justice" as she was led away. "Let the people vote," Beatty tweeted along with pictures of her arrest. In a statement, Beatty said: "I stand in solidarity with Black women and allies across the country in defense of our constitutional right to vote. We have come too far and fought too hard to see everything systematically dismantled and restricted by those who wish to silence us. Be assured that this is just the beginning. This is Our Power, Our Message." These insurrectionists should be held without bail in solitary confinement until trial.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad they got to go on Mexican vacations and go back to live with their mommies or claim that watching 'Schindler's List' should count towards time served.

Literally trespassing, and likely the same charges that the Representative will be charged with, if she is charged at all (want to take a bet her being charged). I'm sure she was released almost immediately and allowed to return to work/home without bail. It's been while since I've taken a Civics course, but I seem to recall something about "equality before the law" or some such notion. Yes, the ones charged with violent offenses should be held, or at least have some degree of bail required. The ones arrested for trespassing, probably not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incorrect. 5 died directly to that day. 2 knuckle draggers had 'medical emergencies' including the thief who supposedly tazed himself in the balls, 1 was crushed to death by the very idiots she was mobbing with, 1 was shot illegally entering through a broken window in order to gain access to a restricted area full of fleeing officials [ gee, your kind usually cheer for the 'Stand Your Ground' shit... ] , and Officer Sicknick. 2 more officers died by suicide after having to deal with it all. Ashli Babbit is not a martyr to the cause - she was shot breaking and entering a government building. 5 were detained on the 6th outside the building but not arrested due to the chaos. The earliest actual physical arrest however didn't occur until the following day. 1 person. And he was arrested because he decided to go on a power trip on a Delta flight LEAVING the area which caused them to turn around to punt him off where he was recognized as one of the people who went apeshit in the Capital. 1 person whose ego outed him before he could get back to mommy's basement. The rest - allowed to flee the area and go brag about their shit on social media until, you know, they got rounded up because non-morons realized that a line had definitely been crossed. It was not peaceful. It was not 'full of love' . They were not 'patriots' . They were pinheads led by a pinworm who can't even use stairs because his cow legs won't let him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ban all right-wing media to protect the vulnerable. That's what I'd do if I were POTUS. Those rioters all deserve the harshest punishments for treason, and no 8th Amendment protections.

True. I don't want to see the deaths of cops who died of natural causes like strokes they had alone at home while off the clock being blamed on protestors who made their job stressful earlier in the day. That's an absurd and dangerous precedent. Edit: cop suicides too. Suicide is sad. If a cop commits suicide it isn't the fault of anyone who made their cop job harder on any given day.

Counter argument - would he have died in the time frame he did if he hadn't been attacked and put under that level of pressure and distress on Jan 6th? With the level of whitewashing currently being attempted about the INSURRECTION - they were just touring the place, it was peaceful, they did nothing wrong, nothing actually happened, media overstated / made up everything, that lady was a total patriot who took a blast to the face while innocently sniffing flowers - no statements regarding his life expectancy would have been allowed anyway. Quite frankly, claiming that getting smacked in the skull and maced while attempting to keep a mob of screaming jackasses from overrunning the Capital had absolutely nothing to do with that person having a stroke is farcical. If he had had a stroke standing on the sidewalk during a Black Lives Matter march, you'd be in here insisting on murder charges. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimModSponges Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Never believe that jingo is completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The jingo have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwimModSponges Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 We're in an unhealthy place as a nation. Just over 200 days ago there was a literal coup attempt that came within feet of succeeding. And the people who aren't pretending it didn't happen are making jokes about it. The nation is being gaslit into the belief that it was no big deal, that it won't happen again, and even if it does happen it won't be serious and we won't see any actual consequences. Its all a big joke, its all funny. Just like when Trump was running for president- it was hilarious. And when he won- it was crazy but it's not like it meant anything. Nothing bad could ever happen here. We've got institutions in place, surely if something illegal or dangerous were to happen people would be held to account. Surely nothing could harm us. "As a nation of free men we will live forever" and thats the end of the quote and we have nothing to worry about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
