If you believe the latest Bob Woodward book, the United States has lost civilian control of its military — unless you count Nancy Pelosi who seems to have been in control of everything since she became speaker in 2019 with the single-minded goal of bringing down Donald Trump.
Everything has gone downhill since, and most dangerously at the Pentagon where a cohort of woke generals fell under Pelosi’s malign spell.
That’s the only way you can understand how Gen. Mark Milley could have become so deranged that he cast himself as the hero of a “Seven Days in May”-style fever dream in which only he could save the nation from Trump launching nuclear war with China to stay in office.
It’s an insane scenario, a left-wing equivalent of the most farfetched QAnon conspiracies.
But this is what is claimed in the Woodward book, titled “Peril,” co-authored by Robert Costa. So alarmed was the tightly wound general about what he imagined Trump might do in the weeks before and after last year’s election that he made “secret calls” to his counterpart in China promising to warn him if the president ordered an attack.

So, in other words, Pelosi was indeed fomenting a coup with the military against Trump, and Milley actually took concrete steps to interfere with that presidential authority.
They were committing the very insurrection/coup of which they accused Trump. Will the GOP finally act on this? This is intolerable and completely unconstitutional.

So who’s the pussy here?
Will this ensnare Nancy as well as Milley?
No, sorry Miranda.
I want Milley and Pelosi Galore both to be convicted.
And swing from a rope.
You have no idea of the depth of my disgust over this.
.......just better do it........
Woke Gen. Milley needs to be relieved of duty and court-martialed. As for Pelosi, keep a close eye on what she says or does. She’ll definitely want to deflect and change the subject. When the fire gets too hot she’ll turn on Woke Gen. Milley.
FYI——The Gaslighting Begins After Gen. Mark Milley’s Treasonous Actions Are Revealed: What Milley did in conjunction with Speaker Pelosi is the biggest breakdown of the constitutional order in modern history.

Earlier today, one of the most consequential stories in a long time broke with the revelation that Gen. Mark Milley, now the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had colluded with the Chinese to possibly commit treason. The discussion that led to the quote in question happened via secret, unsanctioned calls between Milley and a top Chinese general. At one point, Milley is reported to have pledged to the Chinese that he would tip them off about any possible attack coming from the United States.
Later, it was revealed that Milley was working with Nancy Pelosi, both of which were trying to subvert the constitutional system in order to essentially neuter Donald Trump’s ability to function as Commander in Chief.
Now, the clean-up crew has arrived to gaslight everyone and claim that was transpired not only didn’t amount to an intention to commit treason but was “routine.” Here’s Pentagon stenographer Jennifer Griffin relaying the message without a hint of skepticism.
I am told that Gen Milley had 2 routine calls with his Chinese counterpart and more than a dozen calls with NATO allies after Jan 6 to reassure them the US government was stable and to reassure China that the US did not plan a surprise attack, an effort to avoid misunderstanding.

As far as the facts on the ground go, Milley has two choices. He can either claim that the quote attributed to him by The Washington Post (which was quoting Bob Woodward’s new book) is false and that he never said it, or he can admit he told a foreign adversary that he was willing to commit treason. There is no third option where Milley and the Pentagon get to pretend that all of this was routine because it absolutely was not.
Regardless of what “fears” Milley may have had following January 6th, we still have a constitution and a military that is controlled by civilian, elected leaders. There is no possible justification for a military general setting out to not only conduct his own foreign policy but to also offer aid and comfort to our enemies. That is, by the very definition of the word, treasonous.
Further, no one should be taking Milley’s claims of concern as a representation of reality. He is a deeply disturbed, delusional man who went so far as to compare January 6th, an event that resulted in no purposeful deaths except a police officer shooting Ashil Babbitt, to the Russian Revolution. Milley apparently saw himself as saving the country from a coup, but in the end, it was he that did more to execute a coup than anyone on January 6th.
None of this adds up to be routine, and it’s incredibly insulting that the Pentagon thinks they can brush this under the rug with such a whitewashing.
Good news, everyone.
The Pentagon is happy to inform us that it has investigated the Pentagon’s actions and found that the Pentagon did nothing wrong. https://t.co/XWTtFWCiSN

What Milley did in conjunction with Pelosi is the biggest breakdown of the constitutional order in modern history. We had a general essentially declare himself a military dictator, calling up foreign adversaries to let them know he had their back and would sell out his own country to give them information. And for what? There is no evidence Donald Trump was going to order an attack on China. Rather, Milley’s actions were driven by his delusional god complex.
But even if you assume Trump was going to do something dangerous (he wasn’t, but let’s assume), Milley’s obligation would be to refuse the order, resign, and notify Congress. It would not be for him to make secret calls to the Chinese to let them know he’s going to feed them information.
This is the kind of thing Republicans can not let go of. There have to be repercussions here or we cease to be a functioning nation. If that means a Republican-led DOJ taking action in 2025, so be it.
What puzzles me is that the calls were secret. Why?
Secrets are usually kept to deprive your enemy of knowledge. In this case, our enemies were told something straightforward.
If the general wanted to really reassure the Red Chinese of our military's good conduct, he should have broadcast the no strike pledge openly on the airwaves. That would have publicly “locked-in” the commitment.
It looks like the “secret” was to keep the American people in the dark as to the general's conduct and intent involving our enemies.
This raises more questions than it answers.
Queen Elizabeth I learned her throne was in jeopardy after she narrowly survived attempts by her enemies to kill her.
She reluctantly rounded up the enemies, sent them to the tower, tried them for sedition/treason and chopped off their heads. She saved her throne and England
President Trump learned of the attempts by his enemies to destroy his Presidency and thus the Republic and did nothing. He lost the Presidency and allowed the take over of the Republic by the left wing progressives
We have lost what was once a great nation, a great Republic
Whatever your depth is mine is way lower.
N-i-c-e take.
Trump trusted people he should not have trusted.
“Will the GOP finally act on this?”
No. They are perfectly happy with going back to business as usual in DC. As long as they get a piece of the pie they are content. Note only a few GOP politicians in DC are forcefully condemning Biden’s unconstitutional vaccine mandate and the coercive use of the federal bureaucracy to force businesses to require employees to get the vaccination.
I wrote my two GOP Senators Tillis and Burr. Tillis said he was “concerned” about Biden’s actions and would “monitor” the situation. He then reaffirmed he believes everyone should get the vax. Burr has not yet responded. However, he has pretty much checked out since the DOJ decided not to prosecute him for insider trading. He is retiring next year.
More evidence the GOP is not going to stand up to tyranny and the destruction of the Republic.
Here’s a critical, overlooked element in all of this—and another reason Milley should be fired and court-martialed immediately. He actively usurped the nation’s nuclear command and control system by injecting himself into the launch approval process.
Remember: the Chairman of the JCS has one job: to provide military advice and counsel to the POTUS and SecDef. He has no military forces under his command. The nuclear release chain runs from POTUS-SecDef-STRATCOM-USAF Global Strike Command/Navy elements that control SSBNs. The Chairman was provide advice in his designated role, but POTUS (or designated successor) can employ nukes with or without CJCS approval or involvement.
Instead, Milley goes to the National Military Command Center, to the desk that handles nuclear ops, gathers the staff (senior NCOs through flag officers) and tells them that no orders involving nukes will be followed unless “he is involved.” And like sheep, the military staff blindly follows his illegal edict. The list of those deserving court-martial begins with Milley, but goes well beyond him....
BUT!!!!!
Nothing will happen because the party in power owns it all. The checks and balances in this government have been destroyed by a corrupted justice system.
If anyone thinks that 2022 or 2024 will be a reversal of this marxist trend all I can say is look at the 2021recall election in Cali......
There's your sign!
In a Constitutional Republic such as the US used to be there would be an immediate Grand Jury convened. Woodward would be subpoenaed as well as Miley and Pelosi.
Pelosi needs to be investigated on so many fronts.
