Why isn't Milley breaking rocks in Levenwurth? Why isn't he a private?

A good question since some poor Enlisted Sailor was sent to a military prison 6 years ago for taking a picture of a sensitive area on a nuclear submarine, which he served on and he immediately reported the violation to his officers. Btw, Trump ordered that the Sailor be released from from prison, shortly after he became POTUS.

I guess that once you’re up that high in the “food chain,” you basically above the law. Just like when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State and sent out an email to all DoS employees ordering them them not to delete any official emails. Or the New York Governor A. Cuomo, sending his email telling all State employees that their is a ZERO tolerance for sexual harassment and the consequences of doing so.

Another case of “Rules for thee, but not for me.” Honestly, this is becoming the “New Normal” in this country.

This all gets back to Trump’s fundamental problem, which was personnel. He was never able to gather loyal people around him.

Milley should never have had the chance to betray Trump because he never should’ve been appointed in the first place.

If Pence hadn’t undermined Gen Flynn, he wouldn’t have advised Trump to appoint Milley.

Pence wouldn’t have had to undermine Flynn, were it not for Jeff Sessions not having Trump’s back.

All of Trump’s problems, impeachments, etc. was all due to him choosing the wrong cabinet and the wrong VP.

Good God, the dems impeached Trump over a stupid phone call yet will they act on this??
yeah - they'll 'act' by putting up st. milley statues up next to their ones of st. floyd...

they think treason against trump is wonderful.

Trump doubts report of Milley calling Chinese general but says it's 'treason' if true

Exactly. Some of the posters here seem like they would have been ok if Trump had launched nukes at China. Really?

Personally, I don't think any one person in our government should have the power to launch the nukes on their own. At least 3 people should have to concur. We can argue about who those 3 people should be, but it should not be up to one person alone.

Show me the clips of Trump that was out of control. Trump was always kool and collected when he spoke. He did NOT SHOW ANGER as Biden has snapping back at people .

And this is why you folks shouldn’t be commenting.

Now you have to tell everyone the steps to launching a nuclear strike so everyone is super duper uper clear on it.

I'm glad there was somebody sane in the White House.

Most Republicans were Trump enablers. Had they done their duty, Milley would not have had to do his. They all take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution and these United States. No different from Kissinger doing his duty when Nixon was a drunk.

All you who think China is your enemy can stop enabling them by not buying a thing made in China. American companies did move their manufacturing to China for the cheap labor. Americans bought their products and continue to but their stock.

Who is to blame, really?

Do you get to see Trump in the president's quarters, in the bathroom, eating dinner with his family? In the office when no cameras are present?

What you see of Trump on tv is just as guarded as Biden.
