As explained at the time, the highest ranks of the military were so deeply anti-Trump, they were plotting a coup with the Democratic Speaker of the House.

“This is a Reichstag moment,” Milley told aides, according to the book... Milley told aides he feared it “could be the modern American equivalent of ‘brownshirts in the streets.’” It doesn’t get much more serious than this. https://cnn.com/2021/07/14/politics/donald-trump-election-coup-new-book-excerpt/index.html
Good morning, lysie!
Breakfast is perfect, thanks.
Looks like another attempt at projection to me.
When don’t the dims accuse us of something they are doing?
Good morning, exit.
LOL Emerald gets it!

Gen. Milley is so full of it that he could fertilize outer space all by himself.

Capitol Police to use Army surveillance gear to monitor Americans and ‘identify emerging threats’
JULY 12, 2021 LIZ GEORGE
FTA
U.S. Capitol Police will start using Army surveillance equipment to monitor Americans as part of a larger effort to improve security and turn the force into “an intelligence-based protective agency” in the wake of the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
Last week, the USCP took possession of eight Persistent Surveillance Systems Ground – Medium (PSSG-M) units, fulfilling a request that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin approved on June 2. The units capture high-definition video and include night vision, but do not feature facial recognition capabilities.
“This technology will be integrated with existing USCP camera infrastructure, providing greater high definition surveillance capacity to meet steady-state mission requirements and help identify emerging threats,” the Pentagon said.
The same technology was used by troops during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to observe large areas day and night.
The Army will install the units and train Capitol Police on how to operate the systems, the Pentagon said.
In a statement last week, the USCP called the technology “state-of-the-art campus surveillance technology, which will enhance the ability to detect and monitor threat activity.”
The Capitol Police did not provide further details regarding how or where the surveillance equipment would be used, and didn’t provide information on whether data collected would be stored or distributed.
These latest efforts by the Capitol Police have raised some concerns relating to Americans’ privacy rights. Last month, a federal appeals court found similar surveillance technology used by the Baltimore Police Department (BPD) violated the constitution’s Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure.
A New York University School of Law independent audit of the systems used by the BPD found the technology allowed the department to track individuals for multiple days.
William Owen, a member of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, said the Capitol Police’s new technology is cause for concern.
“These so-called improvements that the Capitol Police have implemented after the insurrection represent an expansion of police power and surveillance that STOP cautioned against in January,” he said, according to The Washington Times.
“As awful as the events on Jan. 6 were, increased use of biased surveillance technology is never the answer,” he said. “Such technology will inevitably be used to target Black, brown, and Muslim communities and protesters, not White, racist, far-right mobs like those who were given free rein to enter the Capitol. So we need greater civilian oversight of police, not greater police power.”
The report comes after the USCP announced it will open regional offices nationwide, beginning in California and Florida, in order to “investigate threats” made against members of Congress.
A report from Roll Call last summer noted that the USCP is currently exempt from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) because it is part of the legislative branch, giving it a level of secrecy and a lack of established accountability methods that aren’t the case for other law enforcement agencies.
“Congress is not subject to the law, and the Capitol Police, as a component of the legislative branch, is also exempt from any FOIA request,” the report stated.
Good morning, Gran. You are welcome. How’s the rain? Getting any? Sure hope so.
The top military is not on our side. They were part of the Resistance & are now embracing the Woke culture & weakening every branch of the military.
Nasty’s “Gestapo!”
Sitting here shaking my head.
This should scare every freedom loving American.
Wonders of wonder, we got a nice shower yesterday morning, 72% chance of rain today.
So thankful.
How you doing?
You got that right, gub.
The top military are all politicos who will do what ever it takes to further their careers and keep their jobs.
Remember how fast Milley came out to apologize for making the walk with Trump to the church.
History will not speak kindly of them.
Good to hear about the nice shower you got. We are fine. Going to be hot. In the 90s. Lots of wind damage a few days ago in areas around us.
Yes, and the fact they wouldn't help Trump put down the riots over the summer.
Absolutely disgusting.
Yes, and remember when Slo Joe said that local police did not need surplus military equipment? That we didn't need to fortify local police departments?
I guess not, when instead he was going to disperse his own Capitol Police units around the country.
I’m willing to leave the bacon for exit, in return for that luscious burrito!!
Then who’s going to be in charge of the military that’s supposed to rescue us from this nightmare, I wonder???
If it’s true, and I believe it is, that Trump asked for 10,000 NG to in DC for Jan. 6 and it was denied then I believe most elite military were in on setting Trump and us up in order to steal the election.
Now there is your COUP.
Then Milley turns around and spouts he feared Trump was going to try a coup, as I said, PROJECTION.
Will they ever be exposed and held accountable?
I agree.

As proof of voter fraud begins to be reported in America, the left-wing press suddenly floods the airwaves with a woke general whining that “Trump is a Nazi who had to be stopped!”
Democrats want you to believe that they cheated only to protect you from Orange Man Bad.
Demand that your county & your state conducts a forensic audit today or America’s constitutional republic is finished.
