ryoder 1,362 #1 Posted June 25, 2021 Top US general rejected Trump suggestions military should 'crack skulls' during protests last year, new book claims At times, Milley also clashed with top White House officials who sought to encourage the then-President's behavior. During one Oval Office debate, senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller chimed in, equating the scenes unfolding on his television to those in a third-world country and claiming major American cities had been turned into war zones. "These cities are burning," Miller warned, according to the excerpts. The comment infuriated Milley, who viewed Miller as not only wrong but out of his lane, Bender writes, noting the Army general who had commanded troops in Iraq and Afghanistan spun around in his seat and pointed a finger directly at Miller. "Shut the f--k up, Stephen," Milley snapped, according to the excerpts. Can you imagine the immense pleasure of saying that to that boot-licking little Nazi? I'd pay money to see the video, especially if Milley did it in his best John Goodman voice. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Jerry, "Making sense" in this case means understanding what happened and why. The "what" is that a racist, corrupt 'wannabe dictator' conned a large segment of the public into supporting his shit. The "why" is a lot more complex. But a good place to start is early 30s Germany. Take a large group of people who used to be in power and are seeing that power slip away. Give them someone to hate. Convince them that they can take all of that power back. Voila. Trump and MAGA. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
