re: #33 Mattand

I think the thing with military guys like General Milley unflinchingly stating they’re Constitution-first is that I worry we’re eventually going to run out of military guys like General Milley unflinchingly stating they’re Constitution-first.

There’s an alternate universe out that where Trump managed to get Mike Flynn appointed military Chief-of-Staff.

I sometimes think that the GOP getting their ducks in a row and electing an “All the evil, none of the obvious crazy” POTUS is a matter if ‘when’ and not ‘if’. And from there, it’s a short step to get a bunch of Mike Flynn-loons behind them to go full SS.

And yeah, he’s mea culpa-ing all over the fucking place now, but Milley initially had no problem marching to that frigging church with Trump and his Bible, while soldiers beat the shit out of protesters. He may have instantly regretted it, but he still did it.

So, yeah, good on Milley for doing the right thing eventually, I guess, but how many more Milleys are left?

Lots actually.
