General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, prevented Donald Trump from invoking the Insurrection Act against Black Lives Matter during their 2020 riots.
Milley, according to Bob Woodward and Robert Costa’s new book, ‘Peril,’ drastically minimized the riots to Trump, suggesting that they were mostly centered upon the use of “spray paint.”
Despite the violent protests spreading across the country like wildfire, Milley insisted that they had only impacted two cities and were peaceful, echoing CNN’s absurd description of the riots as “fiery, but most peaceful.”
“They used spray paint, Mr. President, that’s not an insurrection. […] We’re a country of 330 million people. You’ve got these penny packet protests,” Milley told Trump.
Milley reportedly informed Trump that most of the riots drew just about 300 people and that they paled in comparison to the 1968 Washington riots sparked by Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination and the Battle of Fort Sumter in 1861, which kicked off the Civil War.

Bob Woodward is a communist.
Bttt
Milley did all this stuff in countervention of Trump, so why didn’t Trump fire him long ago? He got away with it.
You cannot know who to believe, Woodward or the general.
What we see is the general Milley in Woodward’s words is playing by the Dims political narrative (all the time), but is that the real Milley or is it the narrative Woodward wants to portray. We don’t know for sure.
At least...
Milley belongs in federal prison.
“They used spray paint, Mr. President, that’s not an insurrection. […] We’re a country of 330 million people. You’ve got these penny packet protests,” Milley told Trump.
Then why did Trump want to invoke the Insurrection Act if he believed Milley?
There was plenty of discussion about the Insurrection Act right here on FR last year. Invoking in the Insurrection Act against the wishes of a governor would have been completely out of line, and a political disaster for Trump as well.
Why is this diseased pig excrement still the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff?!
Don’t the other JCS members have any shame or are they also part of the conspiracy of sedition?!?
evryone needs to rethink every thing having to do with President Nixions impeachment and then resigmation. I am thinking that we need to look at qhat the deepstate did to trump and then look at how much of the blue print for Trump’s impeachment came from the nixion Impeachment.
But weren’t the peaceful individuals in Washington DC on January 6th called, and treated as, insurrectionists?
Milley did all this stuff in countervention of Trump, so why didn’t Trump fire him long ago? He got away with it.
Wikipedia:
“On December 8, 2018, President Donald Trump announced that he would nominate Milley to serve as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, although Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis and then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Dunford favored Air Force Chief of Staff General David L. Goldfein for the appointment.
Trump chose Milley because he and Milley formed a close relationship during the interview process.”
Don’t the other JCS members have any shame or are they also part of the conspiracy of sedition?!?>>> I’m sure they are all yukking it up. Hopefully the good service members quit so we know which one to shoot at.
Trump probably listened to Lindsey Graham before promoting milley.
Nixon covered it up.
Mark Milley the Democrat Tool is a Tool
General Milley got his fourth star from Barack Obama.
When was the last time the Democratic Party made a mistake with a senior level appointment - like, never?
Obama promotes Milley - then Trump appoints Milley to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff?
That was incomprehensible political negligence.
This was not Trump's first trip to the Washington D.C. Wishing Well.
Trump's first appointment to Secretary of Homeland Security - the department that enforces immigration law, which was Trump's signature political issue - was General John Kelly.
Kelly got his last last TWO stars from Barack Obama!
Trump liked General Kelly so much Trump promoted Kelly to White House Chief of Staff!
Suicidal incompetence by Trump.
Milley is the very model of a modern 0bama General.
