with 2020 election lies: new book

Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said former President Donald Trump's effort to overturn the 2020 election results put him in the same camp as Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, according to a new book by two Washington Post reporters, Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker.

Milley said Trump spread "the gospel of the Führer" via his lies about the 2020 election, and compared the former president's supporters to "Brownshirts in the streets," according quotes attributed to the general in an excerpt of the book, "I Alone Can Fix It," which was first reported on by New York Magazine on Wednesday. The Brownshirts were a violent paramilitary organization that played a central role in Hitler's rise to power by threatening those who opposed him, gaining their name from the color of the uniforms they wore.

The US Army general was concerned that Trump was deliberately provoking unrest in order to potentially find an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy the military domestically, Leonnig and Rucker wrote.

Milley, who was appointed by Trump as chairman of the Joint Chiefs in 2018, was told by an old friend not long after Election Day that the president and his allies were planning to "overturn the government." The top US general reportedly told aides that he thought this was unlikely to succeed.

2. I just heard on CNN that tRump went on to say that

he "knows fucking Krauts". He was "raised by the biggest Kraut".

Mary Trump should be grateful she isn't close to her family.

3. For Fudge sake! The attorney general has got to get involved.

We have got to have a special council to gather the testimony of people that this book and Wolff’s book quotes and others that were involved. How much treason does it take to nail the orange freak?
