Gen Milley should be recalled from retirement and prosecuted for treason.
Milley, according to a book titled "Peril," assured his counterpart, General Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army of China, in the final days of Trump's first term that the United States military would not strike the communist country. Perhaps most astonishing was a quote that shows Milley was willing to warn China if an attack was in the works.

“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,” he purportedly said. “It’s not going to be a surprise.”


General Milley was structurally incharge of security on Jan 6.
I'm willing to bet he will squeal about the organization of the violence that day to save himself from the hangmans noose

I cannot believe some people have the temerity to go after Michelle Obama for declining to attend Trump's inauguration. It's against customs and tradition they say.

Seriously, they all watched and looked the other way as Trump breached customs and laws left, right and centre.

You want custom and tradition, but happily voted for a felon 😁😁😁😁😁.
Mitchelle Obama I reiterate is a full blooded African woman. She gave birth through invivio to her two kids. Some say she is male out of jest , she is a full woman to me with a husband who would have sired some brats naturally with other women but he chose to side with her. Frankly any man who ejaculates to a petri dish and gets his two children borne of his DNA and hers is a real man. Kudos Barrack Hussein Obama for being that patient husband who never leave their wives high and dry in pursuit of siring kids naturally.

I still have my reservations about Obama politically and the moral high horse grounds he holds himself though. How did your Arab govt changeover work out Libya in a mess, Suriya millions dead, Iraq mess, Obama 4.0 failed 2024. He should fold up his balls and ride on the tailwind.

But Obama stood by his wife. He became the first African American president two times . He never helped Africa.

For the sake of your education as it concerns basilico I'll give you a link from a conservative site that explains why this guy was removed from the chair of intelligence committee.
I always consider the leftist view , I compare it to a more reasonable right wing and come to my conclusion. The left wing is in the opposite of the real truth. Ready set go.

This link tells you the truth about why the sucker had to go.
Anything you get from left wing media .. I can enumerate many and I have previously is pure horse shit. That link is the unabashed truth of his removal
Be prepared to get an alternate view.
Or forever hold your peace.

Right. You won’t believe it until you hear it from daddy Trump himself.

And the church sings 🎶 MAGA brain rot.🎶

Nothing is true unless you’re hearing it from the dear infallible leader who can do no wrong. Amen
This article implies that the budget was cut .
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/california-wildfires-los-angeles-fire-chief-budget-cuts/

In a Dec. 4 memo, LAFD Fire Chief Kristin Crowley wrote to the Board of Fire Commissioners that the budget cuts "have adversely affected the Department's ability to maintain core operations."

Crowley said that a $7 million reduction in overtime hours "severely limited the Department's capacity to prepare for, train for, and respond to large-scale emergencies" and affected their capacity for brush clearance inspections and residential inspections.

The cuts, Crowley wrote in a memo from July 2024, resulted from eliminating 58 positions, adjusting sworn salary accounts, and removing one-time expenses. Some have pointed to the one-time expenses, such as the purchase of new breathing equipment for firefighters
The memo is in December just above a month ago.While that Blumenfield someone you quoted said budget was increased in November.

This matter is not closed. This might turn out to be another case where the real truth is in the opposite of what democrats say.

Yet, crickets on this unqualified mess of a person in one of the most important jobs.
I can give you a better reason to hate Trump.He has stated on TV that only a tiny percentage of the population can acquire as much wealth as him. You need to be some kind of genius.

Maybe you can prove him wrong
I'm not sure whether it's an episode where he enumerated American wealth ..I could dig it up.

Good for you bro. We all ended the year on a high in our individual lives.
If you ask my opinion, I doubt anyone on this thread has any real serious personal complaints in their lives. What does that have to do with the fact that you don’t know what you’re talking about? Such a weird statement to make.


Oh It’s your time to gloat. About what? That your favorite football team AKA the Republican Party won the match/election? Doesn’t that prove what people like us have been saying? That y’all side liners lack any lived experiences to contribute meaningfully to this conversation. it’s just a gloating opportunity that means nothing to you personally at the end of the day. Because it’s not your business after all. You just like to hear yourself talk. That’s all.

Right wing is no crime. Hear what a leftwing said about NBC.


Tucker Carlson: You said this was the beginning of Trump derangement syndrome. Did you sense that at NBC?

Billy Bush: Oh, God. Absolutely. I mean, anything. Remember this, over at ABC News, at the same time when Trump became President, they launched a 70… they built a 75-person investigative unit. I know the guy who was head of it, dedicated to anything negative on Trump. Find stuff on him and get him out.

This is not journalism.

This is not news.

It is activism.

When you’re calling journalism, it’s total activism.


If you don't know Billy Bush , he was the guy who Trump was talking to in the grab them by the pussy clip.

Your lying would be sad if it weren't deliberate, but its deliberate so its evil.
I only exaggerate to prick any readers conscience. For instance if I claim Biden family received $100.56 million from china , it's upon you to correct me that they gave his family over $20 million. The point is not whether I exaggerate but why was they given the $$$ ,that's what should concern you.

Other Biden achievements.
The $42 billion internet program that has connected 0 people

And
Biden’s $7.5 billion EV charging stations program, which promised half a million installations, still has over 499,993 to go after three years.

Washington Post Reportedly Shed Nearly 90% Of Digital Readership In Only 4 Years
Story by Owen Klinsky • 17h

The Washington Post’s web traffic has taken a nosedive since 2021, with its digital readership declining by nearly 90%.

The outlet, owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos, had around 22.5 million daily active users in January 2021, according to Semafor. As of the middle of 2024, however, that number had fallen to just 2.5-3 million.


The editorial board may or may not be strategizing as I write this.

Well he shouldn't go after the expresidents.
Trump should just investigate whatever happened to the stolen 2020 elections and jail everyone who was involved, knew or abetted.
Trump should also investigate who was behind the attempts to prevent him from running, to jail him for 600 years, impeach him and or assassinate him.
If Biden and Obama were involved in any of that, they should be hung by the neck till dead.

Cris Wray says FBI had a duty to raid Mar a Lago to retrieve classified docs. Which they did , rifling through Melania underwear and Barron's bedroom. They ended up indicting Trump .
Joe Biden had classified docs from his time as VP carelessly scattered in 7 locations where most likely others had access to including his wheeler dealing son Hunter. They never charged him neither revealed who else accessed those documents. JB never had authority like Trump to "declassify any document in his mind and carry it home" .
It's been claimed Melania changed her wardrobe because FBI thugs sniffed through them like perverts would.

Cris Wray said he personally presided in 39 graduations of FBI agents. He handed badges to over 5700 new agents and analysts ,a whooping 40% of current FBI staff. That tells it all, his henchmen are deeply entrenched.. probably those low life lingerie sniffing degenerates.
These FBI and deep state operatives never imagined Trump would ever make it back to the WH.

Another accusation by Trump haters blown to smitherens.I don't remember which mouthpiece here proudly declared Melania would not go back to the Whitehouse if Trump won.

“And where will you be spending most of your time in the White House? Palm Beach. Here in New York?” Earhardt asked.

“I will be in the White House,” The First Lady replied.

Melania added, “And you know, when I need to be in New York, I will be in New York; when I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach.

Melania Trump on moving back into the White House:

“I know where I’m going. I know the rooms. Where we will be living. I know the process. The first time was challenging. The information was upheld from us by the previous administration. This time, I have everything.”


Another reason why I hate jug ears. Snivelling,revengeful, cantankerous, race baiting piece of shit who never helped Africa.

Democrats since 2016 have committed many crimes yet end up accusing the republicans of committing the same crimes.

I'm salivating at the thought that from day one Trump proves Joe Biden was rigged in. Implication Every action of his is invalidated. From policies, Executive Orders, appointments esp judicial rulings revoked on a case by case basis.
Trump declares himself 45,46 and 47th president . Congress compensates him by clearing him to run as 48th unopposed as reparations.
Liberal tears fill up the oceans, lakes and seas. Beach homes get sold for pennies.
