Gen. Milley "Vanilli" is the insurrectionist,not Mr. Trump. It can be argued he disobeyed the orders of his Commander in Chief, or at least threatened to, when Trump was President, and even now is attempting to undermine the future Commander by calling him a "fascist".

Is that so?

Can Milley cite actual incidents where Trump broke the law to cement his personal power? Despite multiple investigations and legal attacks there is not one single solitary case of Trump doing anything but exercising his free speech rights and trying to not have the Presidency stolen by the Democrats (even if you think Trump was all wet about that it is clear HE believed the election was stolen.) So what makes Trump a fascist in Milley's mind?

Did Trump arrest Hillary Clinton, who by all rights SHOULD have been prosecuted for her actions, notably for her destruction of evidence and willful disobedience to Congress? Did Trump send in the army to Portland during the rioting? He could have but he had to have a request from the Democratic Governor. In other words he OBEYED THE CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS and followed Federalism.

Did Trump create a private army? Did Trump set up concentration camps for his political enemies? Send out death squads? No, and in fact Trump signed some bad bipartisan legislation against his own better judgment.

Why,if Trump is such a monster, is Milley still walking around trashing him? Wouldn't Milley be an obvious target? I mean, Trump could have gotten the Russians to do it, right? After all, he was supposedly in bed with them!

The sad fact is Milley is now retiring and wants to put himself in a good position to get a great job. Marco Rubiio called him a liar and said it's nothing but a way to protect his economic interests in his post-military career on Fox News Sunday this morning. Rubio is right.

(Trump made a huge mistake hiring so many generals for his administration. He thought they were going to be like the lower-level officer class but generals are not; they are all educated at West Point or Annapolis or the Air Force Academy, all of which the Left has taken over. Basically to get to the top you have to be part of the Swamp. They are not so much soldiers as politicians in snazzy uniforms and their alma maters are just Ivy League DEI factories. I would add many of these generals hate Trump for one simple reason; he wouldn't let them run the endless wars that they had been running under prior administrations and they didn't like losing their position as the silent powers behind the throne as they were under Bush or Clinton or Obama.)

At any rate, Fascism is a particular philosophy of the Left, a branch of socialism. Benito Mussolini had been the editor of Italy's socialist magazine before becoming a fascist, and he is on record as saying his views never changed. He did differentiate fascism from socialism insofar as socialism was primarily an economic view and placed other things, notably the human need for spirituality and belief, aside. Fascism came from Jean Jacques Rousseau in The Social Contract, as did socialism. Rousseau wanted to break the power of the Church and to do so he suggested making the will of the public God and the state the new church. He also called to democratize economics aka socialism, the first systematic view of an old, failed concept. Most soialists, especially those who embraced Marxism, were more interested in the economics. But Mussolini and the Fascists tried to create a new religion to bind people to their share and share alike economic model, which featured private management of what would primarily be government controlled large corporate structures. We call that corporatism, but it is essentially socialism. Socialism is, in it's most basic, ownership or control of the means of production. The Fascists and Nazis wanted corporations to be "private" insofar as not directly owned by government, but to be wholly at the service of the State.

As Mussolin so aptly put it "Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.".

Now which party does that sound more like Gen. Milley?

The Fascists and Nazis were monists too, meaning that everything is to be intimately connected to everything else. Who does that today? Remember when NASA said it was their mission to do Muslim outreach? That wasn't a REPUBLICAN reclassification of their mission.

Look at all the environmentalist nonsense and DEI being promoted by government agencies that have specific missions other than that.

Even if one makes the false assumption that Trump is a strongman-wannabe (an assumption that history does not back up) then there is a huge leap from wannabe dictator and a fascist. But it's clear this idiot does not even know what a fascist is.

(Fascism is not racist, by the way. Naziism was, but all Mussolini did was encourage love of country by all it's members. There was no systematic racial or religious persecutions as in Germany. In fact Mussolini kept Hitler reined in for a while on that. As most historians say, Mussolini was a dictator and a bit of a thug but he was a human being and not a monster, unlike his Nordic counterpart.)

I would add the Communists were quite favorable to fascism early on. In fact they had a slogan "first brown then red" as they thought of fascism as a final stage of capitalism as free markets would be phased out by the fascists then a communist system would be in place. But that all ended when Hitler attacked the Russians; suddenly it became "right wing".

I would ask Milley furthermore if he can cite just one instance where Trump abused his executive power. Just one. He can't. The Fascists did that all the time. They just rammed through rules that pleased them in violation of existing laws. But Trump never did that. Obama did. Biden did. But not Trump.

Did Trump give Milley an order to seize Washington when the vote was being certified? If he had then Milley would have a solid point. But he just asked for PEEACEFUL protests, a right of every American citizen. How was J6 his fault? It was Nancy Pelosi who would not agree to better security at the protests despite the Trump Administration's attempts to increase the protection and use the National Guard.

The head of the Capitol Police repeatedly requested help from the National Guard but Pelosi, who was in charge, refused.

Why, it was almost as if she WANTED an incident to use against Mr. Trump and the MAGA movement!

Who is the fascist here? Trump did not send in the Guard solely because he was not asked. If he were the tyrant Milley claims he would have seen to it his own people were in charge and send in the Guard to not quell the riot but to seize key locations. That's how you do "insurrections". This was the lamest insurrection ever; no guns, no bombs (except one found on a park bench outise of the DNC headquarters where Kamala just happened to be, and it didn't work. Oh, and one outside of the RNC - strange since Trump was running as a Republican.) No attempt to seize police stations, or television stations, or the Supreme Court.

Donald Trump has run huge projects all over the world and build amazing things; how is it he was so very incompetent as a fascist beer hall putzcher?

And while Trump is not a pious man he still respects religion, especially Christianity and Judaism. Atheism and paganism is at the core of fascism and always has been. Mussolini was an atheist. Hitler probably was also (although most of the Nazi top brass were pagan Theosophists). Peron in Argentina was an excommunicated Catholic who dabbled in spiritism, much as did Hitler. Franco in Spain appears to be an exception, but in many ways he wasn't a fascist. He is tarred with that because Hitler supported him over the communists who had taken power. Franco laid down power and restored the monarchy once the crisis had passed, unlike most fascists who get it and never let go of it.

Trump's only resemblence to a fascist is that both he and the fascists are human beings.

So Milley Vanilli hasn't got an intellectual leg to stand on here. He's just ranting to get a good post-military job. But what is he qualified to do? I wouldn't hire a guy who slimes his boss to kiss leftist behinds. What kind of employee does that make him?

He clearly is angling for a role in a Harris Administration. If she loses he KNOWS Trump won't go after him. What kind of self-respecting fascist just let's a guy trash him publicly and then doesn''t pursue him? If Trump were half as bad as Milley says the good general would be afraid to shoot off his mouth in so cavalier a fashion, no?

With people like Milley and John Kelly in charge, is it any wonder the pullout from Afghanistan was more like Ferguson After Dark? Guys like Milley are why America can't actually win any wars anymore.

Well, there are new wars to be won. Like getting transsexuals into the army, or making sure no soldiers are guilty of micro-aggressions and the like!
