...They could also further politicize the military.

New revelations showing how Gen. Mark A. Milley, the nation’s top military officer, quietly maneuvered to check President Donald Trump reveal the lengths that top officials went to prevent potentially rash action, but the disclosures also threaten to thrust the military deeper into the partisan fray, former officials said.

A series of dramatic inside-the-room accounts, including one in which the chairman of the Joint Chiefs promised to alert China’s top officer if Trump was preparing to launch an attack, provides new insight into military leaders’ response to the previous administration’s fraught final period.

Why isn’t this being called an insurrection?

After all, it’s an uprising against civil authority which, in this case, has the capability of actually having an effect on that authority, which was certainly not the case with the unauthorized tour of the Capital on January 6.

Milley’s treasonous call to China was neither the result of Trump’s allegedly irrational or insane behavior, nor a result of Jan 6.....

It was the result of an hysterical telephone rant by deranged “Dr” Nancy Pelosi insisting Trump was “insane”........ a rant with which Gen Milley said he agreed.
