  3. And after #Trump returned to power, #Milley’s & #Esper’s portraits were removed from the walls of the #Pentagon.

    It is unclear whether Gen #CQBrown will get a portrait of his 1 year & 4 months as the #JointChiefs chair. Trump has not publicly criticized Gen Brown, whom he is seeking to replace w/the retired 3-star Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, another fighter pilot.

  5. The two were already at odds over #Trump’s desire to use the #InsurrectionAct to deploy active duty #troops to rein in the protesters, a move that Gen #Milley & then #Defense Secy Mark Esper had vehemently opposed.

    Trump would never trust either man again.

    Trump would later fire Esper (by tweet). As for Gen Milley, Trump would eventually suggest he should be put to death.

  7. Days after #GeorgeFloyd’s murder, Gen. #Milley, wearing his Army fatigues, accompanied #Trump in a walk across Lafayette Square near the White House for a photo op after an *aggressive* [brutal] clearing of a peaceful #demonstration. Milley was widely criticized for allowing Trump to drag him into #politics.

    Milley publicly apologized, saying, “I should not have been there.”

    Trump was furious. “Why’d you do that?” he asked Milley, per Trump ofcls at the time.

  11. #us Mastodon, if you know #military members, now is the time to start talking about opposing dictators, especially internally. #trump is going to remove the power of the #judiciary , he owns local cops already, and he has legislative. It’s going to take a general like #milley , whose picture he removed for that reason, to stand up to the administration which refuses normalcy and law. Shore up that conviction from the enlisted on up. If the military backs Trump, the people lose.

    "New U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, in one of his first acts in the job since being appointed by President Donald Trump, has revoked the personal security detail and security clearance for Mark Milley, the retired Army general and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

    Milley, who served as the top U.S. military officer during some of Trump's first presidential term, became a leading critic of him after retiring as a four-star general in 2023 during former President Joe Biden's administration and has faced death threats. Milley will also face an inquiry by the Pentagon inspector general's office into his conduct that could lead to him being bumped down in rank.

    (. . .)

    The moves to punish Milley, which also include removal of his two portraits in the Pentagon, came as the Pentagon mobilizes to support Trump's immigration crackdown and to conform to his conservative revamp of policies on personnel.

    These include executive orders that aim to ban transgender people from the armed forces, elimination of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and to reinstate thousands of troops who were kicked out of the military for refusing orders to take COVID-19 vaccines during the pandemic."

  24. President Joe Biden issued preemptive #pardons Monday to retired Gen. Mark A. #Milley, Anthony S. #Fauci, members and staff of the Jan. 6 congressional committee, and #police officers who testified before the panel,
    in an extraordinary move just hours before President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.
    
In a lengthy statement, Biden explained that he was issuing the pardons not because of any wrongdoing by those included
    but to protect them after they had served their country.

    Biden’s decision comes after Trump has repeatedly threatened to go after those who have crossed him politically or attempted to hold him accountable for his role in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
    
“These public servants have served our nation with honor and distinction and do not deserve to be the targets of unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions,” Biden said in the statement.

“I believe in the rule of law,
    and I am optimistic that the strength of our legal institutions will ultimately prevail over politics.
    But these are exceptional circumstances,
    and I cannot in good conscience do nothing,” Biden added.

  29. Forget firing,
    Donald Trump just pitched having special counsel Jack Smith #deported.

    During a rambling radio interview on 77WABC’s Cats & Cosby Thursday,
    Trump threw out Smith’s name when asked about his plans for immigration. 

    “Domestically, what could America look like if it continues to have this open border policy that we have seen?” asked host Rita Cosby.
    “We can’t have it, it’s, it’s not sustainable, it has to be shut immediately and you have to let people in, but they have to come in legally and you have to get the killers, the murderers, and the mentally deranged, you have to get them out.
    And we should throw Jack Smith out with them,” Trump said. 
    “The #mentally #deranged people, Jack Smith should be considered mentally deranged and he should be thrown out of the country,” Trump continued. 

    Trump seemed to pluck Smith’s name out of thin air, as the special counsel had not yet come up in the interview.
    Smith has overseen two investigations into Trump,
    one regarding his alleged efforts to overturn the election results in 2020,
    and another into his alleged mishandling of classified documents.  

    This isn’t the first time Trump has threatened to deport those in the country legally.
    The former president has repeatedly made threats to deport immigrants who have entered the country under temporary protected status and humanitarian parole.

    Shortly before claiming that he would deport one of his political enemies, who is attempting to hold him accountable for his alleged crimes, Trump tried desperately to defend himself from claims that he was a fascist. 

    The former president went on a tirade against his former chief of staff, retired U.S. general #John #Kelly, who said that Trump fell into the “general definition of fascist.”
    Trump claimed Kelly was simply angry he’d been fired.

    Trump went on a wild rant calling Kelly a “stupid person,”
    “a bully who made up stories,”
    and “a man of rather low intelligence, who was a tough guy who became a marshmallow.”
    He swerved into complaints about former Secretaries of Defense #Mark #Esper and #James #Mattis, and former Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff #Mark #Milley

    This is Trump’s second threat against Smith in as many days.
    Trump vowedThursday to “fire” Smith on his first day in office, in hopes of washing his hands of the two federal cases against him.

    "But while Trump’s top national security advisers have largely abandoned him, he retains the zealous loyalty of the counselors he relied on most of all during his presidency: the faithful hosts at Fox News.

    (. . .)

    Fox’s evening propaganda rotation of Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Sean Hannity, and Greg Gutfeld all completely ignored Kelly’s clarion call on Tuesday night.

    On Wednesday’s edition of Fox & Friends, the curvy couch crew avoided the Times story while attacking Kelly and Mattis as defiant, disloyal, partisan figures.

    (. . .)

    Fox guards its viewers from the truth about Trump

    Fox’s early handling of Kelly’s warning that his former boss is a fascist is characteristic of the network’s strategy of suppressing unfavorable news about Trump.

    Fox typically hides Republican dissent from its audience. Milley’s description of Trump as “fascist to the core” garnered only a handful of mentions on the network. Trump’s vice president, Mike Pence, and the Republican speaker of the House during his tenure, Paul Ryan, both said in exclusive interviews on the network that they would not be supporting his campaign — only for Fox to bury that news as well. When several disaffected Republicans spoke at the Democratic National Convention in August, Fox did not air a second of any of their speeches."

    "Despite these repeated and deeply concerning warnings from those previously close to Trump, Kelly’s comments did not appear on the front pages of The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, or The New York Times. Mainstream outlets have repeatedly failed to give sufficient coverage to news stories about Trump’s extremism and authoritarianism, including Milley’s recent comments."

  34. Fox News’s interview of Kamala Harris was grievance theater, not political journalism

    After 10 minutes of playing immigration “#gotcha”,
    Baier pivoted to the obvious next subject,
    airing a video clip in which Harris expressed support for transgender people in prisons.

    Immigrant hatred.

    Transphobia.

    And later, Joe Biden’s age.

    Baier was running through the Fox News greatest hits playlist.

    This was #grievance #theater, not political journalism.

    ❇️. But Harris got in her licks. She had her moments.

    Chiming in afterwards in what some saw as 🔸corporate damage control,
    Baier’s colleagues on Fox News gushed their approval.

    Martha MacCallum termed Baier’s performance “masterful”, while Dana Perino analyzed the interview as “super good”.

    I can’t imagine that too many viewers agreed.
    If they came to it expecting to learn more about Harris’s policies or get a true sense of her character, they would have been disappointed.

    That wasn’t the gameplan, and it wasn’t the result.

    But Harris accomplished something anyway.

    ⭐️Merely by sitting down with a Fox host, she made a few statements.

    ✅First, that she is unafraid and is willing to speak to all voters.
    It’s hard to imagine Donald Trump, these days, submitting to an interview with, say, Rachel Maddow of MSNBC;

    just this week, he turned away from a CNBC interview, and earlier canceled a CBS News 60 Minutes agreement.

    ✅ Second, Harris did manage to introduce a few snippets of reality to dedicated Fox viewers who probably haven’t been exposed to some of the most troubling criticisms of Trump.

    “That he’s unfit to serve. That he’s unstable. That’s he’s dangerous,” was how she characterized what millions of Americans are feeling.

    “And that people are exhausted.”

    She even was able to mention, at some length, the harsh view of the former commander-in-chief from #Mark #Milley, who served in two top military roles
    – including chair of the joint chiefs of staff
    – during the Trump administration.

    Milley has called Trump♦️ “fascist to the core”
    and has said that
    💥no one has ever been as dangerous to the United States.

  36. Retired U.S. Army Gen. Mark #Milley said former President #Trump is "a #fascist to the core," according to journalist Bob Woodward's forthcoming book, "War," multiple outlets reported on Friday.

    Why it matters: Milley's existing #scorn for the GOP presidential nominee has escalated. "He is now the most dangerous person to this country," he told #Woodward.
    "I had suspicions when I talked to you about his mental decline.”

  38. It’s a pattern:

    #Trump has repeatedly shown contempt for military heroism

    — Re #McCain, “I like people who weren’t captured’

    — At #Milley’s welcoming, “No one wants to see that, the wounded”

    — In #France, the cemetery is “filled with losers”

    — Marines who get killed are “suckers”

    — Congressional Medal of Freedom was “much better” than Medal of Honor

    — Abusing a female cemetery employee

    — Violence against women, grabbing genitals, raping them, threatening them
