Morning Joe: Milley Tipping China Great!—Except for Constitution Thingy
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/20/2021 1:17:55 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

General Milley promising to tip off China to any attack ordered by President Trump? Why, that's "helpful." Milley "didn't do anything wrong." In fact, "we owe him a debt of thanks!"

The only "problem?" That Constitution thingy!

On today's Morning Joe, everyone from Joe Scarborough to Jonathan Lemire to David Ignatius did his bit to downplay the seriousness of Milley's dereliction of duty.

Morning Joe thinks this would only be offensive if done to Biden.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Which is the larger group?

I hear you, but incredibly, Morning Joe averages close to 1 million daily viewers.

Shame on you. GET A JOB.

“The only “problem?” That Constitution thingy!”

Sad, considering he was once a US Rep sworn to uphold the “Constitution thingy”!

Looks like we’ve already had a military coup d’etat in America.

With Biden out there as a brainless puppet, and the MSM running interference, nobody will know.....

Remember when Trump tried to engage Kim Jong Un?

"Look at facts before jumping to conclusions about Gen. Milley’s calls to his Chinese counterpart. It’s critical we don’t have misunderstandings with our enemies. Communicating with counterparts is just good common sense when appropriate. See my interview on @CNN, @ErinBurnett"

They’re way down this year. Well under a million now. They averaged 838k in August, and that was down from 979k in May. He’s about 400k under Fox & Friends, which is pretty much unwatchable drivel.

One million viewers....PFFFT!

That’s great. I thought it might be more than that.

If only Milley would have called Scarborough’s intern and warned her about Joe she might still be alive. Perhaps someone ought to mention this to Joe.

But it IS helpful!

In the 2nd Trump administration, a top ranking general calls China and says, “Don’t worry. Like Milley I will will call you if we ever plan to attack.” Then 48 hours later, the US launches a massive nuclear first strike, wiping out the Chinese military while their government sleeps!

/OFF SARC

The Chinese would never believe that, and probably didn’t believe Milley, either. Their were laughing their butts off as soon as Milley hung up. Their sources are probably better than his.

After seeing all the articles about his deplorable actions, I wrote a letter describing a time when the JCOS had an opportunity to behave legitimately and he could have followed that example.

From: Retain Mike

Sent: Sunday, September 19, 2021 7:25 PM

Subject: General Milley Unpardonable

General Milley violated his oath of office. The Constitution unequivocally made the president commander in chief of the military. Therefore, civilian control of the military became sacrosanct and could never be violated. Remember that Truman had to fire MacArthur over that issue.

Vietnam provided an example of how legitimate behavior could have forestalled warfare options. McNamara stood between the JCOS and Johnson about Vietnam War escalation. His job became easier, because the JCOS often behaved more like bureaucrats than soldiers, sailors, or airmen.

However, the JCOS finally united, and there was a reckoning described in the article titled “Vietnam 1965: The Day It Became the Longest War”. They were concerned about committing to a land war. After making their presentation, which Johnson turned into a charade, they were treated to an unnerving and degrading performance.

“He screamed obscenities, he cursed them personally, he ridiculed them for coming to his office with their ‘military advice.’ Noting that it was he who was carrying the weight of the free world on his shoulders, he called them filthy names-shitheads, dumb shits, pompous assholes-and used ‘the F-word’ as an adjective more freely than a Marine in boot camp would use it.”

Based on what occurred, a proper course of action for them would have been to resign, and in civilian clothes, hold a press conference to explain their reasons for resigning. As junior officers, they had already risked much more than pensions and resumes. If truly disturbed, Milley should have done likewise.

Did Milley tip his ChiCom buddies that the market was going to drop today?

Are you saying that governsleastgovernsbest owns the Newsbusters Webpage?

I guess I’m not too educated on this Interweb thingy.
How does that work and how can I make some money off it?
So far being on the Internet only costs me money, like being a Monthly Donor on this Site.
