Fake news of that sort is meant to get uncommitted folks to think of Trump as dangerous. “Nukes” and “Trump” in the same sentence or paragraph are intended to frighten the stupid and uninformed.

“He had to pick off Mitch’s menu.”

Which suggests that President Trump had no chance of draining the swamp and preventing the election from being stolen as he could only pick, for the most part, swamp creatures approved by the GOPe to fill critical roles in his Administration.

It was pulled away from the military in the early 60s because they were pushing for, and close to initiating circumstances for a first strike.

We should have nuked the ChiComs back in the 1950s. They'd be a second Japan by now. The only thing they understand is a good @$$ whoopin'!

If fake, Willy Milly should respond in some way as this catches fire!

I keep thinking about Pelosi’s attempt to obtain the nuclear football, which would have happened at the same time all of this was going on…
If things would have been different and Trump had triumphed over the DeepState, would this covert coup attempt have become reality?

Trump nominated Milley to the post.

On December 8, 2018, President Donald Trump announced that he would nominate Milley to serve as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, although Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis and then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Dunford favored Air Force Chief of Staff General David L. Goldfein for the appointment.

He sure can pick em.

This is easy. Ask him. Then Ask the NSA.

If he did it, or it looks like he did it, he has to go to the nearest brig and put on bread and water in solitary confinement with no communication with anyone, lest he try to give the Communist Chinese Military a “heads up” again.

We can decide what to call what he did later.

The fact that we are talking about this at all means he’s lost his command presence with the military, so he gets immediately relieved of command at a a minimum.

Now Miley needs to be tried for treason.

Like Justice would ever happen.

According to the article, he asked them to follow already established procedure. So it sounds to me like he is trying to build “DNC cred” over just doing his job. Trying to be the “hero that stopped Trump” to pad his resume ... but with bogus claims.

Interesting if true.

But taken with a grain of salt. The military DID NOT like Trump.

However, never mind what the movies say, a president is not able to nuke on a whim.
