OT a little, but does anyone at all here believe that what General Milley did to protect from Dumphole’s plot to keep power via military attack was not an absolute essential part of his duty? Because that is beyond any doubt a very likely scenario, given Psychopath in Chief’s obvious destructive behavior. He would and will destroy the entire world if given the chance when he loses. That is how fucking sick he is.

Maybe, but even though Wyoming is a reliably Red state, there will still be a Dem candidate running against whoever wins the primary.
Cheney is a lock to defeat any Dem opponent in the general, while Trump’s choice is a question mark. Especially since she has to run to the right of Cheney on policy issues in the primary, and anything to the right of someone like Cheney is really batshit territory.

And in this case he also lost the Senate, the Presidency, and the House. (in reverse order)

Milley took an oath to preserve and protect the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Need I say more.

I tried to use Fucking Global Pandemic in my comment on the article, I was blocked. I know better than to spell it out and used asterisks, but maybe WaPo has a problem with asterisks.

Q: What do you call a person who routinely avoids firing people face to face, instead reverting to Twitter to deliver that news, revealing everything you need to know about that person.
A: A chicken shit.

Seems pretty essential to me. The purpose of the Joint Chiefs is to advise the President. It’s ludicrous to assume that the head of the Joint Chiefs couldn’t ask to be kept in the loop on any plans to attack another country.
There has been too much focus on “Oh noes, he’s not part of the direct command structure for launching nukes!” but what Milley was worried about was a deliberate attack on another country with nukes, and not an emergency retaliatory response to an incoming nuclear attack. The job of the JCOS is to advise the President on something like that, and you can’t advise if you’re not kept in the loop.

Did you prefer talking about the other worst president in everyone’s lifetime, George W Bush, or would you prefer talking about Ted Cruz or DeSantos or Haley or any Republican from the dominant wing of that Party?
The point is racists and other evil crazies are in control of that the Republican Party and regardless if it is Trump or any of the hundreds of Trump wannabes, the conversation is unlikely to change because they, the Republican base, has not in 40 years changed nor are the likely to in the near future.
The deplorable are in control of the GOP because they have the power, simply by leaving the Party, to destroy the Party. Trump is a symptom, he is not the cause of this sickness.
Trump did not create the GOP base, rather the GOP base created Trump and without that base there is no GOP.
Therefore regardless if we are talking about Trump, a Rose or pile of dog dung is what it is regardless of the name.

My bet is that Dems will hold the House and Senate in large part because of the hold he’ll still have over the GOP. They’ll nominate Hershel Walker in GA and Sen. Warnock will wipe the floor with him. They’ll put up Mandel in OH and Rep. Ryan will eke out a victory against him. They’ll nominate as many Trumpy candidates as possible and lose perfectly winnable races.

It’s possible even less than Trumpy candidates may lose winnable races. Gavin Newsom showed that tying State level candidates to the behavior and dishonesty of the national GOP is a good strategy. “A vote for X is a vote for Covid 19, a worsening climate crisis and abrogation of a woman’s right to choose.” Politics isn’t local anymore.

Trump should be reported on like the weather in the old print days:
(1) daily mundane reporting in section four in the paper
(2) front-page (or more notable) coverage if needed.
(3) This TPM story garners (1) type of coverage

OK but see his next statement will be a compelling vision for the future of the nation and world. It’ll be ready in about two weeks.
