This was downright treason the military brass pulled that day.

That’s what a coup looks like.

Garbage headline. His powers were not revoked as these are constitutionally defined as his. If the generals decided to disobey, that is their choice, but it does not change the fact that the president is the commander-in-chief.

A true military coup.
Milley should be tried for it and if he is convicted, he should be executed as a deterrent to future leaders of a military coup.

NOt only was it treason, but it was a military coup.

Trump’s Commander-in-Chief Powers Were Revoked by Military Brass During January 6 Capitol Riot When he gets back in, everyone of them needs to be court martialed and sent to prison.
Defiance of the President *OUGHT* to get them a treason charge, but I think sending them to prison would be a good response.

A president can be rendered powerless if those answering to him refuse to follow orders, and that's true with the military and with his cabinet members.
What needs to happen after that kind of action against the president, is for major investigations to occur, not only by congress, but by other military officials who were not in agreement with the disobeying brass. Investigation can still occur, and those refusing to obey the president can still be punished.

>> Colonel Earl Matthews [and] US military leaders revoked President Trump’s Commander-in-Chief powers that day
If true, Colonel Earl Matthews and all the rest of those SOBs need to face a firing squad.

Garbage headline. His powers were not revoked as these are constitutionally defined as his. Depends on the definition of "revoke".
The validity of Trump's power was not put an end to as you point out. But his operational power, sure sounds like they were going to disobey, operationally putting an end to Trump's power.

“If the generals decided to disobey, that is their choice, but it does not change the fact that the president is the commander-in-chief.”
Good point. The generals can only disobey; they cannot revoke.

Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time, and then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy should be indicted, tried, convicted, and then sentenced to be publicly hanged for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States. And their carcasses should be left to rot off the noose.

A military officer should disobey an order that he finds outrageously immoral or illegal. But then that officer must immediately resign. After which speak out as a private citizen.
To disobey an order and just sit in your office is dishonorable. No, it’s more than just that. It’s dishonorable and repugnant.

I think they can disobey an illegal order, not one they think maybe under the right circumstances may become illegal…… anyone know the punishment for Teason?

YES, AN INSURRECTION AS YOU SAY.
But the dem propaganda machine put on thier own for America.
And they have not won yet.
Even though they insurrected them selves and made up an insurrection, our paladin still stands 10 points above Biden the Puppet nationally.
Every time I see “Orange Man Bad” I have to laugh.
I’d say America knows whats going on.

That used to be called mutiny and was punishable by death.
