In a new interview, Michael Flynn says that the majority of the population of Washington, DC supported the British during the Revolutionary War.

The problem is that DC didn’t exist then. It was a swamp on the Potomac.

Now they're totally into alternative history. To be fair to Traitor Flynn, I think he's really that fucking stupid.

1. But, They WERE able to defend their airport!

[captain queeg]

12. Beat me to it!

Do any of these fools know anything about history? Flynn probably went to West Point. How can he be so stupid?

[struggle4progress]

20. But Lincoln and Douglass had a big debate about

about whether Dulles or Reagan was the top priority

2. This guy needs a fucking rubber room.

4. Right, kind of swampy.

Maryland, however,

'Although no major Battles of the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) occurred in Maryland itself (although the British Royal Navy fleet passed through and up the Bay to land troops at the "Head of Elk&quot , to attack the colonies' capital city, this did not prevent the state's soldiers from distinguishing themselves through their service. General George Washington counted the "Maryland Line" regiment who fought in the Continental Army especially the famed "Maryland 400" during the Battle of Brooklyn in August 1776, outside New York Town as among his finest soldiers, and Maryland is still known as "The Old Line State" today.'

5. Didn't exist, but the area wasn't entirely a swamp

The "city" of Georgetown existed pre-Revolutionary War, as did the City of Alexandria VA, a portion of which later became part of the District of Columbia.

So there probably were a few thousand inhabitants of the area that ultimately became the District of Columbia after the revolution.

It is possible that Flynn's claim is based on the fact that the British promised to free slaves who left their masters and fought for the British, leading to the formation of "Black Loyalist" groups. However, the notion that they represented a majority of the population of the area that became DC is absurd.

6. Call him back to active duty

Then do what’s necessary to strip him and of his credentials n court martial him. No benefits at taxpayers’ expense .. he and his brother are no friends to US..United States.

7. Where one idiot goes in...

…they all there are stupid. And treasonous.

[COL Mustard]

9. We could set up a counterforce to Q

They say Where We Go One, We Go All (WWG1WGA)

This counterforce could be called J, with a slogan of Where You Go One Idiot, You Go All (WYG1IYGA).

Whaddaya think?

[Kid Berwyn]

16. Counter Q.

A most excellent proposal!

?ssl=1

Anti Q.

8. Correct. The revolutionary war ended before the Residency Act which would create DC was passed.

10. Did he graduate from West Point? If so those were wasted tax dollars.

Seriously, he has to be playing dumb.

No way an Army General doesn't know that DC didn't exist in the 1770s.

It was named after our first revolutionary General who was fighting in MA, NY, NJ, PA and VA, from 1775 to 1783.

17. No. He's an ROTC graduate from URI

I’m also an ROTC graduate from that same time, but from a different school.

11. the majority of people appearing in this video named michael flynn are pieces of shit

[Mr. Ected]

13. Has anyone ever drawn a Venn Diagram that included right wing nutbags in one circle

And victims of head trauma in another?

There is something off with these people and I'd like to think it all started with a jarring blow to the cranium.

14. Total disregard for the truth...

But hey, it’s not like he studied history or anything. 🤪

15. Gen Michael Flynn and Gen Benedict Arnold both started out as patriots who served their country well

Gen Michael Flynn and Gen Benedict Arnold both started out as patriots who served their country well.

Arnold died a traitor in England.

He was not lucky enough to have a Donald Trump on his side.

18. The majority of American Nazis, like Flynn, supported Hitler during WW II. nt

19. Another thing to add to the list?

21. The soon to be indicted Flynn.

22. DC didn't exist, but the Colonialists were largly loyal to the Crown

Growing up always had the impression that the revolutionary war, was widely supported by colonialists.

it was something of a startling awakening to learn that is the stuff of myth and legends.

Don't know for sure what point Flynn was attempting to make, but it seems apparent he was trying to lay a specious claim for which he is self projecting.
