To recap:
- Oversaw the worst military retreat in the history of the world and ended up getting 13 Americans killed in the process and leaving thousands of Americans and Afghan nationals behind.
- Under his leadership, our military mistook a Afghan family for terrorists and killed 10 innocent civilians with a tomahawk missile.
- Has been accused of conspiring with the enemy behind the back of his chain of command to "warn them" if there was any planned military action. Also accused of asking people under his command to ignore the chain of command.
As if "politics" should have anything to do with the job of General.

It's unbelievable, the idiots currently running the country try.
MILEY ALSO SPOKE TO SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE ABOUT THE MILITARY NOT OBEY THE PRESIDENT'S ORDERS.
The wokness bullshit.
He went outside the chain of command but he is not the first person who has done that.
He will testify next week and it will get down and dirty.
Kissinger and the chain of command were made aware that Nixon was drunk and again they were directly involved in keeping him from using nuclear weapons.
Trump tried to start a war and demand to stay in office.
But that doesn't seem to bother you Scott!
Milly informed the Admirals in the Navy fleet that they should not follow the President's orders to launch nuclear weapons on China.
But you keep using conspiracy theories that you accused me of using them.
You probably still believe in the deep state conspiracy theory!
He actually did that.
Has been accused of conspiring with the enemy behind the back of his chain of command to "warn them" if there was any planned military action. Also accused of asking people under his command to ignore the chain of command.
Because he thought the President was out of his mind.
You say that every day about Sleepy Joe Biden!
He put his career at risk to avoid the possibility of a nuclear war with China.
What would you have done?????
Milley = Corporal Klinger making the rank of 4-star General.
Militarily with assclowns like this in charge we are FUCKED. Especially when they are so willing and eager to commit treason by colluding with our enemies.
He needs to be on the receiving end of a 21-gun salute via firing squad.
Something else came out...
President Biden ignored warnings from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken on the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, according to forthcoming book from journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.
The book "Peril," set for release Sept. 21, explores how Biden was determined to withdraw from Afghanistan after 20 years of U.S. involvement, CNN reported.
In the book, Woodward and Costa write that Austin and Blinken pushed for a slower withdrawal.
The reporters note that Blinken, who had been in agreement with Biden for a full withdrawal, changed his recommendation about removing all U.S. troops after a meeting with NATO ministers in March, CNN reported.
It's far too early to say whether it was correct or not.
He actually thought that he didn't want to be fighting a war anymore.
The civilian casualties are terrible news, but that is why we had to get out and not do it again and again.
Trump tried to start a war and demand to stay in office.
A flat-out LIE.
Stick with your strengths alky, like calling Larry Elder a "NEGRO."
The Andy Griffith Show was before you were born.
In the final months of Donald Trump's presidency, General Mark Milley feared the president would create a crisis that would allow him to stay in power ...
A lot of people who worked for Trump thought the same thing. Barr and Pompeo and even the Vice President Pence
Trump did everything he could to stay in office...Now he is screaming treason when he himself could not have cared less to serve his country but chose to lie about bone spurs....WHATTA FUCKING DOUCHE YOU SLURP RAT..... Goes hand in hand with your incessant whining about beaners and everything else while all you did was flunk out of Ag school!!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Well Trump didn't start ANY wars. As pointed out Roger, of all of our recent Presidents he was responsible (by far) for the least amount of military action from our standpoint.
There is literally ZERO evidence of Trump trying to start a war with China. Exactly ZERO evidence of such.
WHy do you believe that he did?
Trump Derangement Syndrome or something else?
Militarily with assclowns like this in charge we are FUCKED. Especially when they are so willing and eager to commit treason by colluding with our enemies.

Top U.S. General Confirms Chinese, Nuclear Meetings but Denies Anti-Trump Plot
The explanation from Gen. Mark Milley’s office follows an explosive report indicating the military’s top officer undermined Trump in the contentious days around the 2020 election.
By Paul D. Shinkman Senior Writer, National Security • Sept. 15, 2021, at 2:16 p.m.
The office of Army Gen. Mark Milley, the military's top officer, confirmed Wednesday that a series of meetings took place in the weeks surrounding the contentious 2020 election as described in a bombshell report from The Washington Post this week, but denied any inference that they amounted to an attempt to rein in the military control of an increasingly unwieldy commander in chief.
Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, did indeed speak with his Chinese counterpart in October 2020, his office said in an emailed statement Wednesday afternoon. The Post's Bob Woodward and Robert Costa documented that interaction in an upcoming book, saying it came after the U.S. learned of Chinese intelligence assessments that then-President Donald Trump was preparing to launch an attack in the leadup to the election. Milley reportedly told his counterpart, Gen. Li Zuocheng, "I want to assure you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be okay," adding, "We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you." Milley reportedly said he would warn Li about any upcoming attack.
The pair spoke again in January after a riotous mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to overturn the election results, at which time the Post reported Milley's telling Li, "We are 100% steady. Everything's fine. But democracy can be sloppy sometimes."
Without describing the specific contents of the calls, Col. Dave Butler, a spokesman for Milley, said in a statement the encounters "were in keeping with these duties and responsibilities conveying reassurance in order to maintain strategic stability."
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff regularly communicates with his foreign counterparts, Butler said, specifying China and Russia, and added the interactions "remain vital to improving mutual understanding of U.S. national security interests, reducing tensions, providing clarity and avoiding unintended consequences or conflict."
The Post story also reported that Milley convened a meeting of the top officials who oversee America's nuclear weapons infrastructure and told them that he must be involved in any launch orders that came from the president – an apparent break from military norms allowing for the president alone to make such a decision (the legality of a president's decision to order nuclear strikes is not clearly defined). Milley, who in his current position is not in the chain of command, reportedly asked for each attendee to affirm that they understood his instructions. Previous military leaders have made similar controversial moves during contentious political times, such as then-Defense Secretary James Schlesinger when President Richard Nixon was facing impeachment. The military expects its officers not to allow for unlawful orders to take place.
Indy is right about you but I keep speaking Thecoldheartedtruth.
TDS TDS TDS TDS TDS TDS TDS TDS TDS TDS TDS TDS TDS.
General Milly believed upon his existence that the President was going through and crazy shit.
The President has a limited ability to order nuclear weapons.
then-Defense Secretary James Schlesinger when President Richard Nixon was facing impeachment. The military expects its officers not to allow for unlawful orders to take place.
Trump doesn't drink alcohol but that doesn't mean that he was not fucking crazy.
Everyone above Lt Col is political appointment
And has never won a war. But boy do they have their woke micro-aggression battalions in order.
Now I see why the Army had to drop their requirements. The queefs that are enlisting can't sling a grenade 25 yards with their limp wrists.

So Roger...
According to Milley, Bob Woodward is a fucking liar who cannot be trusted with anything he writes. Milley is claiming that he just denied a Chinese report that the United States was going to be launching an attack. Basically saying that there was no attack being planned.
So either Bob Woodward is a treasonist liar who hates America.
Or Milley is a fucking treasonist liar who hates American.
So which one do you believe, Roger?
Is Woodward the treasonist liar, or is it Milley?

Trump acting Defense Secretary Miller says he 'did not' authorize Milley China calls, says he should resign
Christopher Miller called the reported calls an 'unprecedented act of insubordination'
EXCLUSIVE: Former acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller, who led the Pentagon from the period after the 2020 election through Inauguration Day, said that he "did not and would not ever authorize" Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley to have "secret" calls with his Chinese counterpart, describing the allegations as a "disgraceful and unprecedented act of insubordination," and calling on him to resign "immediately."
In a statement to Fox News, Miller said that the United States Armed Forces, from its inception, has "operated under the inviolable principle of civilian control of the military."

President Biden plans on Wednesday to meet separately with two Democratic senators who have refused to back the party’s $3.5 trillion economic package, as congressional leaders race to resolve internal divisions over the scope of the plan and how to pay for it.

roger has trouble understanding this
FAKE NEWS doesn't want to explain it to him
but that is his only source
Fact Check: TRUE -
Mark Milley secretly contacted communist China, fed it information, and promised our enemy he would undermine the duly elected president.
Milley then engineered and oversaw the Afghanistan debacle, leading to a possible Chinese takeover of the Bagram airbase Milley abandoned.

I tend to believe Woodward and Costes are fablelist. They write sensational books for money and to go on the liberal news media circuit. I find it hard to believe a serving line officer would collude with the Chines.
I find it easier that he would attempt coup. His arrogance is self-evident.
Milky should resign for insubordination and incompetence.

The U.S. lost its civilian control of the military. Is any news outlet reporting it that way?

General Mark Milley rants that China is “not an enemy” during a national security summit (2015)
He has led a string of disasters and was integral in calling the 2021 capitol riot an "insurrection".
With all this and the $85 billion he left behind, the Americans he left behind, his CRT etc you really have to wonder if he's not compromised by China.
They are making out like bandits over this.
and probably so to is the "big guy", whoever that is
A higher education doesn't mean that you are very smart.
Keep it up Scott.
When even the witches on the View are saying Milley committed treason, only the most partisan ignoramouses still defend it.

Another radio host who urged listeners to boycott COVID-19 vaccines dies from COVID-19

Another conservative talk radio host who urged listeners to boycott the COVID-19 vaccine has died from the disease caused by exposure to the coronavirus.
Bob Enyart, a Denver radio host and pastor, died two weeks after he and his wife were hospitalized with what his church called "severe" cases. He was 62.
Fred Williams, Enyart’s co-host, announced his death in a Facebook post Monday.
“It comes with an extremely heavy heart that my close friend and co-host of Real Science Radio has lost his battle with Covid," Williams wrote. “Bob Enyart was one of the smartest, and without question the wisest person I’ve known. All the while being exceedingly kind and humble, and always, always willing to listen and discuss anything you wanted. It was an honor beyond measure to have been alongside him for 15 years and over 750 science shows."
President Biden said Wednesday that he has “great confidence” in Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, after a new book revealed that the country’s top military officer privately conferred with his Chinese military counterpart to avert armed conflict with the United States late in the Trump administration.
“I have great confidence in General Milley,” Biden told reporters at a White House event focusing on the response of business leaders to the coronavirus.
His brief comments echoed those of White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki, who said during an earlier briefing that Biden had come to know Milley well during his presidency.
“They’ve worked side by side through a range of international events,” Psaki said. “And the president has complete confidence in his leadership, his patriotism and his fidelity to our Constitution.”
[Top general was so fearful Trump might spark war that he made secret calls to his Chinese counterpart, new book says]
Secret calls from Milley to Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army in October and January are detailed in a book by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward and national political reporter Robert Costa.
Col. Dave Butler, a spokesman for Milley, said Wednesday that Milley had acted constitutionally and within his established responsibilities. In a statement, Butler said Milley “continues to act and advise within his authority in the lawful tradition of civilian control of the military and his oath to the Constitution.”
Butler’s statement largely confirmed the reporting in the book.
The defense of Milley’s conduct came a day after former president Donald Trump, speaking on the conservative television network Newsmax, labeled the chairman’s reported actions “treason” and said, “I did not ever think of attacking China.”
According to the book, one of Milley’s calls took place on Oct. 30, four days before the election that unseated Trump, and the other on Jan. 8, two days after the U.S. Capitol siege carried out by Trump supporters in a quest to overturn the vote.
[Gen. Milley reportedly tried to work around Trump on nukes. Did he have authority to do this?],???????

In a statement to Fox News, Miller said that the United States Armed Forces, from its inception, has "operated under the inviolable principle of civilian control of the military."
"The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the highest-ranking military officer whose sole role is providing military-specific advice to the president, and by law is prohibited from exercising executive authority to command forces," Miller said. "The chain of command runs from the President to the Secretary of Defense, not through the Chairman."

The first call was prompted by Milley’s review of intelligence suggesting the Chinese believed the United States was preparing to attack. That belief, the authors write, was based on tensions over military exercises in the South China Sea, and deepened by Trump’s belligerent rhetoric toward China.
In the second call, placed to address Chinese fears about the events of Jan. 6, Li wasn’t as easily assuaged, even after Milley promised him, “We are 100 percent steady. Everything’s fine. But democracy can be sloppy sometimes,” the authors write.
In his statement Wednesday, Butler said Milley “regularly communicates with Chiefs of Defense across the world, including with China and Russia.”
“These conversations remain vital to improving mutual understanding of U.S. national security interests, reducing tensions, providing clarity and avoiding unintended consequences or conflict,” Butler said. “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.”
A higher education doesn't mean that you are very smart.

“These conversations remain vital to improving mutual understanding of U.S. national security interests, reducing tensions, providing clarity and avoiding unintended consequences or conflict,” Butler said. “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.”

You act as if Butler is something more than a spokesman. He has no authority or understanding of these things. There is zero reason to trust that he either knows protocol or that he is even telling the truth.
Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller on the other hand is something more than a spokesman, was Milley's boss at time, and does have 100% authority and 100% understanding of military protocol.
If the Secretary of Defense was not authorizing Milley to speak with the Chinese regarding these matters, then it cannot possibly be normal protocol.
Now can it?

You and I both understand the President is the Commander in Chief. And the civilians are in control of the armed forces.
But, even if he violated consequences, and kept the President from using nuclear weapons, even without congressional approval, he may have saved millions of lives.
Most of the people in his cabinet members were concerned about his behavior.
But you may choose to believe Trump instead of Woodward.
Historically speaking you will be proven wrong again and again.

Not even Milley (according to his own spokesman) is no board with what Woodward is saying.

Because he was Milley's superior officer and official boss.
In the military you follow the orders of your superiors.
Not doing so is a court martial offense.
There is no military manner to decide that someone with a lower rank should do what they want because of politics. That is the idiocy of politics and there is no room for it when people's lives are at stake.
As we found out when General Milley and his idiot politics is now responsible for 13 dead Americans 10 dead innocent Afghani civilians and thousands of people left behind.
But yeah, Denny doesn't care about dead Americans or Americans left behind.
Better go woke or go home!
Instantly I laughed at you Scott 134x2=268

TPM sums it up pretty well.
Joint Chiefs of Staff chair Gen. Mark Milley stands by his decision to privately reach out to senior military officials and his Chinese counterpart in an attempt to keep then-President Donald Trump from dragging the U.S. into war.
Milley’s chief of staff, Col. Dave Butler, said in a statement that the official’s calls with China in October and January were “in keeping with” his “duties and responsibilities conveying reassurance in order to maintain strategic stability.”
Butler also defended Milley’s discussions with senior officials in which he reportedly ordered them to involve him in decisions regarding the country’s nuclear arsenal after the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection that Trump fomented.
“The meeting regarding nuclear weapons protocols was to remind uniformed leaders in the Pentagon of the long-established and robust procedures in light of media reporting on the subject,” Butler said.
Milley “continues to act and advise within his authority in the lawful tradition of civilian control of the military and his oath to the Constitution,” the spokesperson added.
Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa reported in their new book that Milley contacted his Chinese counterpart, Li Zuocheng, in October and January to reassure him that the U.S. was not planning on striking China. Milley also reportedly gathered senior military officials two days after the Capitol insurrection to make sure he would get involved in case Trump ordered a nuclear strike, according to Woodward and Costa.
The response from Trump and his allies has been predictably explosive: On Tuesday night, the ex-president called Milley a “dumbass” who ought to be tried for “treason,” and denied expressing a desire to attack China.
“The people that fabricated the story are sick and demented, and the people who print it are just as bad,” Trump said in a fiery statement.
While Trump’s remarks are a predictable escalation of the whole ordeal, military experts did tell TPM that there are lingering questions about Milley’s actions and that, on their face, the reported actions could be seen as an erosion of civilian control of the military.
And Trump’s foot soldiers in Congress have seized on initial analyses, demanding Milley’s ouster and similarly accusing the general of treason.
“If the allegations are true, Gen Milley should go down in history as a traitor to the American people,” Rep. Andy Biggs (R-TX) tweeted.
“These actions by General Milley demonstrate a clear lack of sound judgement, and I urge you to dismiss him immediately,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) wrote in a letter to President Joe Biden.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) suggested that Milley be “court martialed.”
This bothers me too Scott..
that there are lingering questions about Milley’s actions and that, on their face, the reported actions could be seen as an erosion of civilian control of the military.

Marco Rubio is trying to get in the good graces of trump so he can get another term of doing NOTHING in the senate but sitting in the back row and try to look smart!!!!!! Dammings will be a formidable opponent and could bring Marios career to a close.....BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
That's impossible. Not unless you can unequivocally PROVE that Trump intended to nuke China, which you can't.
Congratulations alky. Your TDS has actually overpowered what limited ability you had to think rationally. The constitution is not negotiable on a want, whim, wish, or desire. It is not malleable or subject to interpretation. And your searing, visceral, and irrational hatred of Trump doesn't change that.
Traitor Joe on the other hand, got 13 servicemen KILLED for no reason at all.
Traitor Joe also slaughtered a family of innocents, blowing small children to fucking BITS, for no reason at all.
History WILL show that, and Traitor Joe is just getting warmed up, only 8 months into a 48 month dumpster fire of a job.

The United States Capitol Police announced on Wednesday the department is coordinating with the Department of Defense to have National Guard troops available for a Saturday rally intended to demand freedom for imprisoned Capitol rioters.
The "Justice for J6" rally is being organized by the group Look Ahead America, which is led by former Trump campaign operative Matt Braynard. The rally is being held to support those who have been arrested for their roles in the January 6th insurrection by supporters of Donald Trump seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Skin cancer removed asshole
History will show that Donald Trump failed in business, politics and life!!!!!!!!! A true trifecta of loser that is supported by the non thinking slurper of tyrants who want to ruin the USA!!! BTW....can you prove unequivocally that trumps mental state is stable with his actions on 1-6?????????? He's fucking nutz....just like you rat.....!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Speaking of a busy day!
Australia will become a nuclear weapon nation!
The U.S. and U.K. will help Australia acquire nuclear-powered submarines as part of a historic trilateral security partnership announced Wednesday afternoon by the leaders of the three countries.
Why it matters: The partnership, known as AUKUS, is a major strategic pact that will bind the U.S. and U.K. to Australia's security for generations — and a warning to China as the Biden administration continues to lay the groundwork for countering Beijing in the Indo-Pacific and beyond.
The U.S. has only ever shared nuclear propulsion technology with one country — the U.K., through a 1958 agreement viewed as a cornerstone of the "special relationship" between the nations.
Details: AUKUS will establish new channels of information-sharing and joint efforts to develop advanced technologies, including in the arenas of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, quantum computing and undersea capabilities.
Teams from all three maritime democracies will work for 18 months to identify the best way to deliver nuclear submarine capabilities to Australia — which it previously sought via a troubled $90 billion deal with France that will likely now be scrapped.
Driving the news: "Our nations and our brave fighting forces have stood shoulder to shoulder for literally more than 100 years, through the trench-fighting in World War I, the island-hopping in World War II, during the frigid winters in Korea and the scorching heat in the Persian Gulf," President Biden said at a press conference Wednesday, flanked remotely by U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
"Today we take another historic step to deepen and formalize cooperation among all three of our nations. Because we all recognize the imperative of ensuring peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific over the long term," he continued.
Underneath this is keeping China from being the next colonial power.
CNN has better coverage.
President Joe Biden on Wednesday unveiled a new effort to help Australia acquire nuclear-powered submarines, a major step toward countering China as he works to build international backing for his approach to Beijing. Remember Scott, how our allies in the cold war era were never had another world war!
The announcement came as part of a new trilateral partnership among the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom that the three countries' leaders will jointly reveal Wednesday afternoon. Biden spoke Wednesday evening from the White House on the new initiative.
The partnership kicks off what is expected to be a flurry of diplomatic engagements for Biden this autumn, from next week's United Nations meetings to a White House summit of Asian leaders to October's Group of 20 talks in Italy.
Underpinning his efforts is a desire to rally the West and US partners in Asia in the battle between "autocracy versus democracy," one of the defining objectives of his presidency. Biden has made countering China a central aspect of his foreign policy as tensions grow over the South China Sea and Taiwan, and has said he wants American allies on board.
The new partnership between the US, UK and Australia -- three English-speaking maritime democracies -- is not specifically about China, officials insisted ahead of the announcement. Instead, they said the three countries would hold a schedule of meetings over the coming months to coordinate on cyber issues, advanced technologies and defense in a bid to better meet modern-day security challenges. The new partnership is called AUKUS, pronounced "aw-kiss."
Yet it is the move toward establishing nuclear submarine capability in Australia, which officials said will allow the country to operate at a vastly higher level militarily, that will amount to the center of the announcement. Nuclear submarines are able to maneuver at greater speeds and endurance, and more stealthily, than conventional ones, which must surface more often.
"This allows Australia to play at a much higher level and to augment American capabilities," a senior administration official said ahead of the announcement. "This is about maintaining peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific."
Taiwan is going to love it

Gee Whiz Roger?
A little slow on the take here. I wrote about this boost in security five days ago. But that is okay. As an old uneducated man with an IQ half that of mine - you cannot possibly be tasked to recall such a thing.
Well beyond your comprehension apparently.
As stated previously... there are no actual credible threats being tracked or anything that suggests that this would be a peaceful rally or protest. Even those calling for the increase in security admit that they have no actual leads of any actual plans for any actual violence.
These people are quite literally trying to make it "appear" that there is a threat by calling in everyone (apparently even the National Guard) to deal with a non-existent threat.
Yet... pretty sure people like you thought that Donald Trump could be "impeached" for calling in the National Guard for things that some didn't believe that they should be used for. You know, like border security.
We have a bonafide problem at the border, including violence, rape, murder, and drug trafficking. But using the National Guard for those reasons would have been impeachable.
But perfectly fine to call them to a rally when there is absolutely zero evidence that it would become violent.
Par for the course.

Well I am sure you are hopeful that our Generals are in contact with the Chinese making sure that they understand that they will be warned first if there is any sort of attack?
Correct, Roger?
When it becomes necessary in two different situations for two different military officers in high positions to contemplate possibly interfering in a mentally unstable president's decision to go to war just to take pressure off him/herself -- as was the case with Nixon and with Trump -- we should be glad to know that there are responsible military people willing to consider that a president's instability COULD justify setting up procedures that would keep that president from launching a nuclear holocaust just to try to gain status for themselves.
Place anyone who did that on trial (perhaps for a court martial or even for "treason") and let them explain the reasons that led them to do that and see if they get convicted.
No wonder you failed ag

Great perspective -
Applying the tripartite ethical test to the Milley situation—deontology, intent, & outcome—he fails on deontology. You don't reassure a foreign general that you would disobey your CiC in case he does something "crazy." At worst, you tell the VP to line him up for a 25A action.
He even fails on intent: there's no evidence that Trump would have done what Milley is saying he would have. It's all based on gossip from Jen Rubin and friends.
He fails on outcome: he has undermined the core principle of civilian control over the military.
Milley's prideful folly is a disaster of his own making. He fails on all counts. And the lot of you making excuses for him have no idea what you're excusing in the future.

While Trump’s remarks are a predictable escalation of the whole ordeal, military experts did tell TPM that there are lingering questions about Milley’s actions and that, on their face, the reported actions could be seen as an erosion of civilian control of the military.

Correct if I’m wrong, oh great blog historian, but MacArthur was fired for doing this WITH AN ALLY
In March 1951 secret United States intercepts of diplomatic dispatches disclosed clandestine conversations in which General MacArthur expressed confidence to the Tokyo embassies of Spain and Portugal that he would succeed in expanding the Korean War into a full-scale conflict with the Chinese Communists. When the intercepts came to the attention of President Truman, he was enraged to learn that MacArthur was not only trying to increase public support for his position on conducting the war, but had secretly informed foreign governments that he planned to initiate actions that were counter to United States policy. The President was unable to act immediately since he could not afford to reveal the existence of the intercepts and because of MacArthur's popularity with the public and political support in Congress. However, following the release on 5 April by Representative Martin of MacArthur's letter, Truman concluded he could relieve MacArthur of his commands without incurring unacceptable political damage.

I must have missed it.
Was this roger's final answer ?
(134 IQ ?. I have a question on how that got "scored")
He used to post here. I think his conclusion is that the election is over a year away.
Last week, President Biden announced a series of measures intended to further combat the spread of COVID-19. The most controversial is what has become known as the vaccine mandate. Under this, federal employees and contractors, as well as health care workers at hospitals that receive federal funds, will have to receive the vaccine. Employees at companies with more than 100 workers will have a choice between receiving the vaccine and undergoing weekly testing.
To be upfront: This is not a piece about the wisdom of such a mandate, nor is it about the legality of the mandate. This is solely concerned with the political effects of the order. These impacts are difficult to identify with certainty at this point – after all, we are over a year out from the midterm elections. Perhaps this will be a boon to Democrats. The storyline on how that plays out would be straightforward: The mandate helps to end to the pandemic; people feel grateful to the Democrats and president; the economy finally surges ahead; and Democrats enjoy success in the midterms.
But there’s another potential storyline, which is grimmer for the Democrats. There are two components to it: an activation story, and a defection story.
The activation part is straightforward. I think the federal mandate will prove to be generally popular, perhaps even by a significant margin. But that isn’t the entire story when reviewing public opinion polling. Different issues affect different groups differently. For example, various gun control measures often poll well, yet politicians typically shy away from them. Part of it is that these measures have a history of faring worse at the ballot box, as people seem to like them more in the abstract than they do in reality. But part of it is that gun owners simply care about the issue more, generally speaking, than non-gun owners. That isn’t to say there aren’t some non-gun owners who care deeply about the issue, but the people who own guns and stand to lose them are generally threatened more directly by the prospect of bans than non-gun owners are by the lack of one.
The vaccine mandate is similar. To be sure, there are probably lots of people who will be excited about and strongly approve of the president’s measure. But the excitement about someone else hypothetically getting a vaccine to protect others from getting sick is unlikely to be offset by the anger that those who feel coerced into getting a vaccine are likely to feel. Remember, from the point of view of a person who does not want to be vaccinated, this represents an unwanted injection of a chemical into their body. That sort of perceived assault on body integrity will be a very powerful motivator in voting, and they are unlikely to vote for the party that forced it. Medical decisions are deeply personal ones that people feel very strongly about, regardless of the underlying merits of their beliefs.
The second problem is that the vaccine mandates create cross-cutting pressures in a way that threaten the Democratic coalition. Remember, the unvaccinated are disproportionately Hispanic and African American, two key groups in the Democratic coalition. Today, Democrats rely on winning around 90% of the African American vote and 70% of the Hispanic vote for their majorities.
If one looks at the crosstabs of the Politico/Morning Consult poll of public opinion on vaccinations, opinion among blacks against the mandates is probably stronger than Democrats would like. Even with the partisan cue of “President Biden” in the question, 20% of blacks oppose the mandate vaccinations for large employers, 18% oppose mandates for federal contractors, and 18% oppose mandates for health care workers. Among Hispanics, those numbers are higher (although Democrats depend less on astronomical vote shares among this group).
The claim here isn’t that the mandates are likely to turn this election singlehandedly into a GOP wave like the one in 2010. These differential effects, should they manifest, are likely to be quite modest. But in heavily contested House and Senate races, small margins matter. There is a genuine risk for Democrats that Biden’s executive orders move the needle away from them next year.

In Roger's delusional mind.
The people of California will love it. It's the first Mandate Newsom will dictate.

When it becomes necessary in two different situations for two different military officers in high positions to contemplate possibly interfering in a mentally unstable president's decision to go to war
There is literally no evidence that Trump was mentally unstable.
There is literally no evidence that there was any indication that we were going to send nukes over at China.
And it was just "one" person who was attempting to interfere and his boss telling everyone he did it without authorization and that he should resign his post. Apparently his boss (who works directly with the President) didn't see a need to undermine the President over something that he hadn't done or planned on doing.
Every President (even Dementia Joe) has to be provided the benefit that they are mentally stable. That being said, Trump never KILLED 13 SERVICE MEMBERS or shot a tomahawk missile at a Afghan aid worker and his family thinking he was a terrorist and that bottles of water were explosives. Trump also didn't leave thousands behind in hostile enemy territory.
So you can read all the tell all books (probably dumb enough to buy them) and demand that that fiction is real, while pretending that the reality of what is happening under Biden is not. Whatever blows your hair back.
But only one of the past two Presidents has done significant damage to Americans and foreigners over stupid political decisions that seem completely out of touch with reality.
So far in 8 months Biden has
1) Killed American service members
2) Left Americans behind in hostile areas
3) Provided 85 billion in equipment to our enemies
4) Killed innocent civilians with drone missile strikes
5) Brought Covid back to life
6) Ruined the economy
7) Completely fucked up the border
And he seems to have little or no plan for any of it.
More to the point, he cannot even get his legislative agenda through with both chambers of congress under his control.
But the mean tweeter was who was unstable, huh?

IQs are measured differently, but the most common measurement is that each 10 points is a standard deviation.
So 70% of the public would be between 90-110. 15% would be below 90 and 15% would be above 110.
To make it to 120, you would need to be in the top 15% of the 15% that were higher than 110. Meaning approximately 2.25% of the general public would have an IQ over 120. Think back to when you went to high school. If you graduated with 400 people, about 9 of those people would have an IQ over 120.
For 130 and above, you are looking at the top 0.3% of all people in terms of intelligence. In that same class of 400, you probably had one person smart enough to have an IQ over 130.
134? You would be the smartest person in the room, 99.99% of the time. Smarter than the attorney, smarter than the doctor, smarter than the accountant. Smarter than the computer geek. You would know most people's jobs better than they do. You would understand you are smarter as everything would come easy for you.
My oldest is a high functioning autistic. Most of his classmates thought he was a genius. In fact Many, many things came super easy for him. Too easy sometimes. He was tested professionally by a psychologist over multiple tests and was suggested that he had an IQ around 118. Incredibly high by all measures, but not genius level. In fact, he wasn't really all that close.

I never took an SAT. We had what was called a PSAT (preliminary SAT) which was given in your Jr year as sort of a run through test. I scored high enough in that PSAT that I was not required to take the SAT. There was only one college in Minnesota that would not approve my application and that was a private school that required an actual SAT or ACT.
A professor at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology told me one time. I screwed up. But he told me that I could graduate in the top ten % in any university. He mentioned MIT. He said that if get my head out of my ass, he would have recommended me.

New reporting from Bob Woodward and Robert Costa reveals that former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) did extensive research on psychological disorders in preparation for dealing with former President Donald Trump.
Business Insider, which has obtained a copy of Woodward and Costa's new book "Peril," reports that the authors claim Ryan was surprised to see Trump win the 2016 presidential election, after which he realized that he would soon have to figure out how to have a productive relationship with the incoming president.
A New York-based Republican donor who also happens to be a doctor reached out to Ryan and warned him that he would "need to understand what narcissistic personality disorder is."
Ryan was initially surprised that the doctor was saying the incoming president suffered from a psychological disorder, but the doctor sent him more information about the condition, including an email with "thoughts on how to best deal with a person with anti-social personality disorder."
Ryan subsequently did more research of his own and grew more convinced that Trump really was a pathological narcissist.

This was illustrated in a different passage of Woodward and Costa's book in which Trump could not understand why he should bother denouncing neo-Nazis who rallied in Charlottesville on the grounds that "these people love me."
