Two days after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, President Donald Trump's top military adviser, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, single-handedly took top-secret action to limit Trump from potentially ordering a dangerous military strike or launching nuclear weapons, according to "Peril," a new book by legendary journalist Bob Woodward and veteran Washington Post reporter Robert Costa.
Woodward and Costa write that Milley, deeply shaken by the assault, 'was certain that Trump had gone into a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election, with Trump now all but manic, screaming at officials and constructing his own alternate reality about endless election conspiracies.'
Milley worried that Trump could 'go rogue,' the authors write.

Quite a few books have come out making sickening allegations about Trump, but this one seems to take the cake. If this is what our current military leadership is like, there doesn’t seem to be much hope for this country.

Just recall Biden has power to pardon—Milley in executive and free from Legislative or judicial when Mr. Nod allows keeping pension and freedom. Will see how Jack Posobiec discusses in two hours on Warroom.
Would loved to have this for one of my Courts Martial cases.

I changed it be a blend of Milley and Turgidson.๐ Poetic license.๐

Miley doesn’t have any command authority. He’s a glorified advisor to the President. He didn’t do squat.

In find it very interesting so many .gov and .mil people have no issue committing treason, violating the law, or shredding the USCONST as long as their agency/branch is protected.

Was what happened a Coup? Isn’t it a stolen election?
You are right. I wonder if there will be a counter act to this bloodless coup?

Joint Chiefs aren’t in the loop for nuclear launch authority.

Biden thinks his sidekick is carrying nuclear codes, but it’s only his lunch box.

Just another meme to show that Trump was unstable and needed to be removed from office *by any means necessary*.

If this is true GEN Milley must resign. He usurped civilian authority, broke Chain of Command, and violated the sacrosanct principle of civilian control over the military. Itโs an extremely dangerous precedent. You canโt simply walk away from that.
