September 17, 20214 yr Author Quote Milley called the Chinese general Li Zuocheng in October and January. On one call, he reportedly said, "General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.” If this is true, he should be removed from his position and court martialed.

September 17, 20214 yr 16 minutes ago, Toastrel said: If this is true, he should be removed from his position and court martialed. No, he really shouldn't Quote The official said the calls were not out of the ordinary, and the chairman was not frantically trying to reassure his counterpart. The people also said that Milley did not go rogue in placing the call, as the book suggests. In fact, Milley asked permission from acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller before making the call, said one former senior defense official, who was in the room for the meeting. Milley also briefed the secretary’s office after the call, the former official said. Quote A Joint Staff spokesperson said all of Milley’s calls with his counterparts, including those with Chinese leaders, "are staffed, coordinated and communicated with the Department of Defense and the interagency.” "His calls with the Chinese and others in October and January were in keeping with these duties and responsibilities conveying reassurance in order to maintain strategic stability,” said Col. Dave Butler. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/09/15/claims-that-milley-made-secret-calls-to-chinese-leaders-exaggerated-sources-say-511918

I'm not familiar with military law or conventions, but saying there's a scenario where he would in the future warn china of an attack and then actually following through on it, are two different things. Also, while the geopolitical threat to us from China is higher than it is for any other country, we are still trading partners with them, so whatever tribunal would meet to decide his fate would most likely consider this situation far differently than if we were engaged in an active conflict with them, either by proxy or otherwise.

So Pence says, fine. Pursuant to the 12th Amendment, no candidate has achieved the necessary majority. That sends the matter to the House, where the "the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote . . . .” Republicans currently control 26 of the state delegations, the bare majority needed to win that vote. President Trump is re-elected there as well. 🤔🤔

Really. None of this is legal. It would have been overturned. Even VP Pence knew the plan was foolish. The goal was to create chaos around the typically ceremonial Jan. 6 counting of electoral votes.

September 22, 20214 yr Author The House select committee investigating the storming of the U.S. Capitol building could authorize subpoenas for top Trump White House aides as early as this week, according to a report from The Guardian. Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, ex-Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino and former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale are named as three of the "likely targets” for a string of imminent subpoena authorizations. Several reports on the events of Jan. 6 place Meadows at Trump’s side as the former president’s supporters overwhelmed Capitol defenses, whereas Scavino had control over Trump’s social-media platforms. A spokesperson for the select committee declined to comment on The Guardian’s report, and the newspaper’s sources said plans are not yet finalized.

He had to call Dan Quayle and ask him for his advice, who then proceeded to tell Pence there was nothing he could do. Whoever had "Dan Quayle saves American democracy" on their 2020 ish show bingo card wins the prize.
