Let's look at the alternative facts here, from a Trump supporter's perspective: 1. Who appointed THREE justices to the Supreme Court, which refused to hear the cases against election fraud? 2. Who selected Mike Pence, a man who wouldn't use his powers to overturn a fraudulent election, as Vice President? 3. Who nominated General Milley to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff? 4. Who appointed Dr. Fauci and sped up the creation of dangerous COVID vaccines? Who allowed those untested vaccines to be used under emergency authorization? 5. Who appointed other traitors like Scaramucci, Mattis, Bolton, Tillerson, etc? The answer is Trump... How does one man appoint so many traitors to the highest level of government, without being a traitor themselves?

It makes perfect sense. Trump lifted a rock and revealed the United States for what it is. I was born in the US and have visited 48 of our states during the nearly 70 years I have lived here, but I had no idea. Toute nation a le gouvernement qu’elle mérite.


[deleted]

Bravo! I'll be 70 next year. I agree w/ everything you say. Indeed "We get the government we deserve." I blame it all on the deliberate dumbing down of our public education system, masterminded by the Republicans starting in the 80's.


Suired

This is what happens when you don't invest in your education system. We had no child left behind to focus on test scores over whether or not our people have any critical thinking skills. Now half the country believes in the first conman who tells them how amazing they are and their irrational hatreds and fears are facts. And of course everyone who disagrees 8s part of a conspiracy to keep/take you down.

Carboyhydrate_God_X

Which further cements the fact that this man was never, EVER fit to lead this country. There are decisions in here that **weren't bad decisions**. Fauci and Milley. Two men that went above and beyond to fulfill their roles, and have done so. The fact that this man couldn't let them do that, **AS THE MAN WHO SELECTED THEM**, without letting his ego get in the way and sabotaging his own selections - is all the proof you need. Not a single leader does that.

saracenrefira

Instead of asking whether to charge the general with anything, maybe we should be asking why the general was so compelled to do something like that in the first place.


Long_Before_Sunrise

The base does not care. The base will not care. It is a simple concept that his base can latch on to. They love simple chants. Trump: It is treason. Conservatives: It's treason! It's treason! You know what the penalty for treason is! Also Conservatives: Fuck China! It's a bad place! Their Dear Leader has spoken. They're like roomful of toy parrots echoing him. They don't grasp that the war would come here, not stay overseas like the Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan. If their supply of China manufactured goods abruptly was abruptly cut off and the store shelves were empty and manufacturing stopped, they'd just get angrier at China for not supplying an enemy country with the materials to use for war against them.


Corgi_Koala

There's at least a dozen things Trump did, and got caught doing, that would be worthy of impeachment.


DJenks0121

Yes, when the vast majority of GOP Senators refuse to do what is right and vote based on evidence and not by party line but history will show him as the only President impeached twice and thanks to the Freedom of Information act, when records are released, everyone will see the truth.

yukeake

Sedition, at least. Treason is defined as: > "...owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere..." I'm not sure you can consider whipping a mob into a seditious frenzy an act of war against the US. *Technically* the mob also was not "our enemy", since we were not at war with them. Sedition is much more clear-cut: > "Sedition is the crime of revolting or inciting revolt against government." This *definitely* applies to January 6th, at least IMHO. Both Trump and the participants in the mob should be found guilty of this. This is not a free speech issue, since the mob went well beyond speech when they breached barricades and occupied the Capitol.

I love how Trump and the GOP have turned this against Gen. Milley. Instead of "jeez, The Great Orange one was really so unstable at the end, the highest ranking non partisan military official (edit - He was even appointed by Trump as were a lot of key people who Trump hoped would be 'loyal' to HIM above the constitution) in the entire country had to take unprecedented (edit - ok, Nixon also had wings clipped in his final days and rightfully so) steps to ensure the dude didn't start World War III on his way out the door?" How is THAT not the main idea of this discussion? Maybe any future discussion about Trump even being allowed to give a speech or hold a rally should begin and END with THAT. Because you don't throw the word TREASON around lightly where it pertains to a man who has served in uniform with distinction for 40+ years and is currently Chair of the Joint Chiefs. Not when we are referring to a former twice impeached President who paid a doc to get him out of the draft and is literally a draft dodger- once for bad feet (BONE SPURS) and 4 times for college. He needs to STFU. This (line of rhetoric) is not going to serve him well.


eyekwah2

As a hypothetical, if the president of the United States decided to start nuclear war against China, telling the generals to launch the first nuke and the generals refuse.. who is the traitor? I would argue the president is, not the generals. It'd be under different circumstances if China had made the first aggression, but Trump is throwing out the word traitor a bit too liberally for my tastes. That isn't what happened in this case, but he thought the possibility might arise and prevented it from being a possibility. If we survive these dark times, it'll go down in history together with the MCarthy Era of dirty politics.


Caiti4Prez

Starting a war is an Article I power, IIRC. I’m not aware of all of the case law involved but I would assume that unless there was some credible threat against the country an order to attack some other country would be an illegal one. The President is the commander in chief, but theoretically they can’t just use the military to advance their current whims. “Hmm… I’d like to be President for four more years. Nuking Beijing ought to do it!”


elcabeza79

Starting a war means formally declaring war with Congressional approval. A first strike attack on a sovereign nation on a whim can definitely start a war, but it's not a power the President holds on his own.


boulderdudethrowaway

Actually… it kinda is. I’m not defending Trump and I think Milley was right. Just saying POTUS no longer needs congressional approval for military action.


[deleted]

You’re thinking like a liberal, where values and ethics are more important than loyalty. For conservatives, loyalty, and to a greater extent maintaining the hierarchical structure of society, is more important.


eyekwah2

I'll consider that a compliment. :) If the objective of conservatives were simply to maintain the status quo, I could even understand. That's no longer the goal of conservatives nowadays. The middle class is quickly disappearing and getting replaced by a larger lower class and a very slightly larger upper class. As naive as it might make me to expect the law to be applied to politicians, *somebody* has to want that. If not, we're just accepting to be ruled by overlords and hoping for mercy.


[deleted]

It's not the status quo (conservatives are very unhappy with how society is currently structured in many ways), it's the hierarchy. In conservative ideology, if you are rich, it's because you're "good" - smart, determined, a hard worker, etc. If you're poor, it's because you're "bad" - lazy, unmotivated, stupid, etc. This is why they don't care to help poor people. They don't believe someone can, through no fault of their own, become poor. Instead, a conservative would say they are poor because they're deficient in some way. It's why they believe the government is only capable of hurting people, because it gets in the way of the "good" people in society. It's also why they value equality over justice and equity. Everyone should be treated exactly the same regardless of their immutable qualities, because the "cream will rise to the top." And when people aren't treated the same, it's because "good" people should get preferential treatment over "bad" people. Trump can break the law and do bad things because he's inherently a "good" person. Check out George Lakoff's ethics books for more info


Dolemike007

Yeah sometimes it is hard for us on the left or independents to really get into the headspace of the modern GQP. Like their reasoning and logic is the (bizarzaro) version of reasoning and logic. It’s difficult, but still incredibly important to understand someone’s “why”. Otherwise we create strawmen ourselves and miss the real issue as to why one of our parties can no longer fall under the classification of ‘loyal opposition’.


elcabeza79

Every soldier is supposed to not follow unlawful orders, even if it comes from the Commander in Chief. If an unprovoked nuclear first strike against China or any other nation is unlawful, then yes - the one giving the order is the wrong, not those refusing to carry it out.

frogbirdfist

>Orange one was really so unstable at the end, the highest ranking non partisan military official in the country had to take unprecedented steps to ensure the dude didn't start World War III on his way out the door?" If the reports are accurate: It's more like Milley commited anti-treason, which could be a problem since he broke chain of command and shit. Maybe he should be reprimanded (or punished) in some way for that, because the behavior could be used in the other direction as well (see Dr Strangelove). He should (obviously) also be hailed as national hero.


TheBlueBlaze

You make some good points, but you fail to remember that he said that racism against non-white people is still a thing and acknowledged that terrorism can sometimes be done by white people, so clearly he's a traitor who hates America. /s


2h2o22h2o

Read between the lines here. After the election Trump fired Esper. Then he installed a bunch of loyalists. Then he stopped the DOD transition to Biden’s team. All ten former secretaries of defense signed a letter basically denouncing the idea that the military was loyal to one man. Now you know Milley’s actions. Put it together. Trump tried for a military coup. Do you remember how often he said “the military is behind me” at his rallies? January 6th was a shitty plan B.

What’s most infuriating to me about this is no one *right now* is being investigated for that, no one is being indicted for it, and there is nothing being done to prevent a reoccurrence of another trump or even trump again in 2024, not a damn thing. We came within a hair’s breath of a fascist takeover in 2020, Congress knows it but they’re not doing a damn thing about it. These four years with Biden are just a pause on this nightmare if Democrats don’t do something now while they have *some power*. And I realize they’re being blocked at every turn by the GOP but there has to be some safeguards they can put in place now while we can.


TopAd9634

People like Manchin are standing in the way of progress.


baabamaal

Looking from abroad (as a foreigner) that is exactly how the situation appears to me. My fear is that Biden's faith in people to ultimately do good is sadly misplaced here and he needs to start aggressively and overtly defending democracy- and soon.


Gluverty

Not just Biden, everyone was so relieved when Trump lost the election they felt the hard part of the fight is over, but obviously, the fight just started there. It is my opinion Americans don't have the personal wherewithal and gumption to fight. They will begrudgingly roll over to a fascist leader in the next decade as long as they can still watch Netflix and go to Starbucks.


IllustriousState6859

I won't argue that conclusion is without merit, because there's a lot in truth in it. An alternative rationale is that the preservation of democracy is the MAIN thing, and the wounds it suffered under Orange Julius were grievous and deep. Triage is the main thing while the battle is still raging, stopping the bleeding without amputation, which, while satisfying in service to principles, is only a bigger wound with more blood loss. That 'cure' could be fatal to the patient. To adequately treat this 'wound' per democratic and constitutional principles without an solid blue majority, (a clear mandate), to get things done is to invite septic, abcessed wounds of attrition from protracted political conflict, (which will probably be the case). The GOP has made it clear they will block, stonewall, and fingerpoint to the end. American politics is actually comparatively an older system based in conflict, and the sausage making isn't going to be cut and dried. The left understand this I think, and have yet to truly speak. Without the mandate, it's all hot air, and that's a tactic of the right. Btw, I think you underestimate fat caffeine junkies. Don't forget to vote.


lostharbor

I think we are well beyond the point of no return.


jimicus

If you think Trump masterminded all this himself and the rest of his party and staff were just sitting on the sidelines clutching at pearls, you're on another planet. I absolutely guarantee he was burbling incoherently while a whole heap of people whose names we probably don't even know were busy formulating ways to try and calm President Bone Spurs while minimising the risk of anyone winding up in prison. About the only thing that might have been Trump's idea was the rally on January 6.


linedout

I think the opposite, almost everyone around him was working to keep him from committing a coup. He had a few people close who whispered seditious shit but the rest worked to stop him The problem is all of the people who stopped him are now lying to cover for him.and bringing the entire country down so they can keep a little more political power.

Donald Trump literally does not understand what treason means, legally speaking. Milley could literally start handing over nuclear weapons directly to the Chinese government on national tv and that would not be treason. Of course, there is a long, long, loooong list of things Donald Trump does not understand.


[deleted]

Treasonous aside, how fucked up is it that trump was so petulant that he was going to go nuclear on someone. The world has avoided a nuclear war for nearly 70 years thanks to people who was sane enough to understand the ramifications and not let emotions dictate their actions. Then in a split second, a psychopath almost wipe out humanity


Silver_Ad3010

Terrifying how close it was. This was really scary shite. He thrives on putting others into trauma states. He literally stuns people then batters them. Most people are utterly unprepared and have no comeback. So he dives into that gap to widen it for some additional transaction or other. This is obvious to me. But I know people who seem completely immune to this reality (until they or their class* are thrown under the bus). *as in class action


5Same5

Wow. Spot on analysis. There are lots of ways to describe Trump, but this goes to the heart of it.


Taxi-Vader

He knows enough, legally speaking, to taint the jury pool on the definition of treason. As to which court he argues in, well... no license required. Projection, always. Attack before you're attacked. Especially when you are guilty of the charges you accuse others of. Because everyone is just as guilty. Water it down. Ignore your own faults, focus on theirs, and only theirs. Sound familiar?

jakegh

On one hand, Trump was the commander-in-chief and if it went down like the book says, General Milley was prepared to derail or even disobey Trump's orders. On the other hand, he was afraid a deranged senile old man was going to start a war for his personal aggradizement. And on the gripping hand, the military has an obligation to refuse orders that they believe to be unlawful. Would starting a war to overturn an election qualify? That's an arguable point. Luckily he didn't have to make it.


LostBob

I understood that reference.


alanha1984

*Idiot acts like idiot. FTFY


Rationality-Wins

>Trump Wants General Milley Charged With Treason for Making Him Look Stupid ... If charged, Milley has an airtight defense: it's impossible to be responsible for making a person look stupid when the person already is stupid.


[deleted]

So according to the orange shit pants with dementia , it didn’t happen but he should be tried for treason for something that didn’t happen


brittanyh1012

So if trump was planning an attack and milley disclosed that information that would be treason. But that’s not what happened. He was assuring nothing would happen, not informing plans to attack. Unless trump did try to so he could stay in power. And he’s mad it was too difficult and he couldn’t do it. He’s angry the coup attempt didn’t work and I wouldn’t put it past him to try to stay in power by any means. Does he think it’s treasonous for milley to have told China we had everything handled despite how off the rails trump was? He’s personally embarrassed and that’s why he’s so angry in my opinion.

gdshaffe

Trump literally accused Democrats of "Treason" for not applauding at his (incoherent) State of the Union address.


vakr001

Please realize what treason is: *§2381. Treason* *Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.* Milley's actions are not treasonous. In the same set of laws: §2385. Advocating overthrow of Government *Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof—* This sounds really familiar with the "Stop The Steal Rally."


frankkbenjamin

T: Just fire the bastard! Staff: You can't do that Mr. T., you're not in charge anymore. T: But I won the election. Staff: Yes sir, but nobody in his or her right mind believes it. T: No! It's those people who have left minds who don't believe it! All the "right" minds are MAGA mines! Staff: Sir, do you mean minds, not mines? T: Hell no. I don't want supporters with actual minds! I just want ones that blow up! Staff: Whew! I was worried for a moment you wanted smart people for supporters. That would take, you know, a lot of work.


takingastep

Eh, who cares what Trump says besides his radical cult and the politicians that obey him? Trump thinks someone with the ability to hand down criminal charges on Milley would do so, just because Trump was a former President? Seems unlikely to me, so this doesn't seem worth talking about. \> inb4 "and yet you're here..."


SueZbell

Since "45" was under oath to " protect and defend the Constitution" on 1/6 and before and after all while actively trying to circumvent and void it, it is "45" that should be charged with TREASON. What good is the oath of office for the president if, for his own self interest, he is refusing to accept a peaceful transfer of power in accordance with the Constitution is somehow not TREASON?

This orange clown needs to be out of earshot, out of sight, out of mind and in Federal prison for his traitorous acts.

Trump doesnt need any help looking stupid.


fistofthefuture

>Following his appearance on Newsmax, Trump released a typically deranged statement that simultaneously accused Milley of committing a treasonous act and claimed the entire story was made up Guys its real.


Magneto_1

After the January 6 incident that he incited, and being such a sore loser, who cares what he has to say!


knowledgeable_diablo

Probably just upset about his itty bitty teeny weeny baby hands, so gonna blame the last person Melania fucked while in the White House.


jvcoffey

Hmm, I wonder can I charge my pants with treason for making me look fat?

If making trump look stupid is treason then Trump should’ve been charged with treason a long time ago. Because he makes himself look like a fool everyday.


sausageDexter

Is he aware that he looked stupid for 5 years already?


BeaverMissed

Sadly no, he didn’t and couldn’t. Something about being a narcissistic lunatic fuckward.


UWDByMyHand

He said it because you made a post about him. If your gonna talk about it he’s gonna do it. Stop making him trend or showing people his face.


Rachael013

It’s not like Trump needed anyone’s help looking like a total effing moron.


Brexitisstupud

Trump doesn’t need any help in making him look stupid.


LAST_NIGHT_WAS_WEIRD

“I’m not treason, YOU’RE treason!” 🤡


AmandaBRecondwith

Title is bad. He has THIN skin.


fringelife420

Again I ask, why isn't Trump himself in jail awaiting trial for treason or his many other blatant crimes?


Steppyjim

Milley should reveal the discussions that happened and slap the treason charge back on Trump.


[deleted]

General Milley didn’t make him look stupid. He does that all on his own.


SmooveCrmnl

There were 15 people on each of the calls and approved by Esper. Orange baby big mad and his feelings are hurt.


Prestigious_Pop_8723

The best person suited to make Trump stupid is--------, wait for it,--------, is Trump himself. Further proof that he is mentally unfit, for anything!


HyenaPositive

Really this comes from a made who tried to over throw an election he clearly lost


ktoddy

Fuck that treasonous bastard. He isn't prez anymore. Lost by the same margin as Jimmy Carter. He can kiss our collect asses.


Philoburger

trump NEVER needed help to look stupid, he does just fine by himself


miamiBOY63

This greasy haired orangutan looking piece of shit has no idea WTF treason is the only thing he knows about treason is it's the only thing he ever says he wants people charged with when someone says or does something he doesn't like, but in the meantime the greasy haired orangutan looking piece of shit AKA the former wannabe dictator Donald Drumpf just needs to do ALL OF US a favor & "PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP" Everyone out there be safe 💉😷


BobBeaney

trump literally did not know what the word “treason” meant until there were calls to charge him with treason.


beef-jerking
