We Are Witnessing The Birth Of A Movement And The Downfall Of A President

There has been a turning. A protest against the murder of a black man by police in Minneapolis has become a movement. Demonstrations, which began almost two weeks ago, are ongoing. They are huge. They are nationwide. They are peaceful. They show no signs of stopping. They are protesting the death of a man who should not have had to die, and they are protesting the man who seemingly gave permission for him to be murdered by the intolerance and racism he has openly promoted for more than four years.

But Trump's threat to use active-duty soldiers to suppress dissent has encountered some profound pushback from an unexpected source: the United States military. It began with a statement by former Secretary of Defense James Mattis in reaction to the use of force, and then something extraordinary happened. Mattis' clarion call was joined by more senior military figures, beginning with Secretary of Defense Mark Esper. Retired Adm. Mike Mullen, who served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Barack Obama, was next. He wrote a piece for The Atlantic entitled, "I cannot remain silent."

Retired General John R. Allen weighed in next, writing ominously in Foreign Policy magazine. More retired generals weighed in later in the week, including two former chairs of the Joint Chiefs, Martin Dempsey and Richard Meyers.

But even more extraordinary than the retired officers who spoke out was the letter from the current chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Mark A. Milley, which was leaked to conservative pundit Bill Kristol on Thursday. Milley is said to have had a contentious meeting with Trump in the Oval Office on Monday before joining him in his infamous "walk" down the street cleared by police and National Guard soldiers. According to David Ignatius of the Washington Post, Milley, "whose temper can match Trump's...was vocal in reiterating his advice to the president against mobilizing troops, according to three knowledgeable sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity." That is Washington-speak for "they were yelling at each other."

For a military man, this comes close to a call for insurrection. Milley's message is written in a code that everyone in uniform will understand implicitly. By reminding every member of the military that the soldiers currently deployed on the street around the country are not there under the authority of the president, and by reminding them of their oath to the Constitution, he is telling them that the military will not be carrying out any un-American orders issued by Donald Trump.


Trump has lost the military. He's done.
You got him now???
 
This election is going to be razor close....sign of a nation on the rise.

i disagree. it will not be close at all.
You are correct

lol.... funny how you think it's still tilted in yer di-rection.


so cute.
The president didn't create the shut down. It's not his created policies that are killing blacks in these leftist controlled areas. Time for you to do the math.
 
..blacks will still murder THOUSANDS of blacks per year
..blacks will still graduate at lower levels
etc

so--the blacks don't have anything to whine about anymore--do they!!!!!????
 
It may well be that the Age of Trump has a silver lining: That it taught us what we don't want to be as an intelligent, civilized country. Talk about irony. But life is funny that way.
You can’t back up anything you post
Not with someone like you, no. For example, you don't even understand the difference between fact and opinion. That's a very underdeveloped mentality.
 
The problem with the left is, they all have their circle jerks inside their little echo chambers, and since they have the democrat propaganda wing echoing whatever it is they want them to say, they think they're the majority, just like they all believed their fake poll numbers that Hitlery was going to win in a huge land slide.

Democrats are stupid, dishonest and driven by their radical America hating indoctrination, but they are NOT the majority, and Biden doesn't stand a snowball's chance in HELL of winning in November. Well... there is that one chance, that all their CHEATING works, but even then, the degree of cheating will have to be so huge that they won't be able to cover it up, and they'll lose anyway.

Does that apply across all 57 States?
Um, there are only 50 states.
According to obama there are either 57 or 58
Yes, that old talk radio canard, referencing his comments in an interview about a grueling campaign travel schedule.

His point, obviously, was that they had traveled from one state to another, 56 times.

56 + 1= 57.

There. I kept it absolutely as simple as I could for you.

Not for long. Judging by the way things are going, I think it will soon be your turn to whine.
