Ret. Gen. Milley says America will ‘be okay’ under Trump, after reportedly saying he was ‘fascist to the core’

Milley warned that ‘outside guys’ like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy can either be ‘helpful’ or reduce Pentagon to ‘rubble’
By Alexander Hall Fox News

Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and retired Gen. Mark Milley went from reportedly warning that President-elect Donald Trump is “fascist to the core” to saying that the United States will be fine under his leadership.

Many of Trump’s harshest critics have gone from cautioning that he would be a threat to democracy to speaking positively about how America will fare under him, now that he won the presidential election.

Milley’s purported claims about Trump being “fascist” and “the most dangerous person to this country” in a forthcoming book by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward appear to have gone by the wayside as he spoke about America’s future at a recent event.

“Bottom line is breathe deep, America’s going to be okay,” he told MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle at a Pallas Foundation event shown on the network. “There is a lot of waves out there, but this is a big, strong country. 380 million people. Great institutions, great people, great workforce, and a great younger cohort of people that are gonna protect America.”

MSNBC also showed him speaking to their host at the same event and saying that the Pentagon has a long history of reforms from incoming Secretaries of Defense.

“Every single Secretary of Defense has come in with the idea of ‘reforming’ the Pentagon. It is extraordinarily difficult and it takes, in my view — first of all, it takes mature leadership and it takes an alliance, or an alignment, I should say, between the Hill, the senators and congressmen up on the Hill who pass the laws,” he said.

A landslide election win for a motivated incoming executive administration is a pretty good impetus for reformation too. Establishing accountability for the shameful Afghanistan debacle is a good first step in making changes.

If Mark is jockeying for an MSM talking-head spot he may want to cast his net a bit wider than MSNBC, as mothership Comcast has cut the cord with the network and its future is uncertain at best. Sad, as Mark would fit right in with Rachel Madcow, Keith “Tingles” Overbite and Al Sharptongue. Then again, a recall to AD would certainly focus his attention and resolve his employment options quandary.

At least now we know how many illegals came in the country in the last four years. The population of the US was 345M, Miley says it is now 380M, 380-345 = 35 million.

That alignment that he speaks of that we need to have for reform, we now have that.

AND let’s not forget that States like the PRoC demand that ILLEGAL ALIENS residing there be counted in the US Census so they can keep all of those precious seats, likely why their Diktatur, I mean Governor and his minions want all that “sanctuary” shit and want it paid for via Federal money!

🎶Flippity flop-flop, flippity flop-flop, look at Milley go, …🎶

On a side note I find it fascinating that the entire left wing apparatus never had a clue how closely they were adhering to Godwin’s Law. By sticking with it in earnest they proofed it, by not only losing their argument but by losing the White House and the Congress. This from the party that is supposed to be Internet savvy. I think they simply held the right in contempt and thought that half the country was stupid.

They may have suddenly realized their mistake because it seems to have reduced greatly from the heights of last summer. Their message format may have changed but their intent and contempt is still the same.

Pucker up and get some chapstick Milley, there’s a lot ass to kiss.

President Elect Toxic Deplorable Racist SAH Neande

Now that his paycheck is on the line NOW he sings a different tune.
Too late, digital is forever, and I understand that PDJT47 can hold a loooong grudge.
I hope you managed to save aside a few shekels, just in case…..

The man has again proven he has zero integrity and no loyalty. He was apparently a secret member of the cabal determined to take out his CiC.

Arrest that bastard for Treason.

The pentagon lost 800B, and now they’re worried about musk and ramaswamy? That’s rich.

My bet is that they’re MOST afraid of the right people finding out just whose pockets that money found its way into!

Forest Bondurant

Good way to start recouping that money is to shitcan a good number of GO’s, scrap the time-toilet projects that consume money and resources. The other is to reduce whatever deficiency from the next round of funding over 5 years until it either shows up or something s fully accounted for.

Someone should ship him a nice reversible red/blue Ike jacket.

Calling Trump a fascist was a strategic decision. He clearly said it to help Kamala win, which would mean he’s free to live the next 4 years without watching his back. That didn’t work, so now he is worried about Trump charging him (as he should), but when the Trump DoD and/or DOJ do, he can say, “See, I told you all he was a fascist!”

IMO he’s more of a liberal tiddly-wink than Wesley Clark, remember THAT AF General who turned into a lefty moonbat when he tried to run for Office?

David

Wesley Clarke was a far-leftist while still on active duty. Nothing changed.,

Hate_me

I wouldn’t put it past them to assassinate Ms. Milley and lay the blame on Mr. Trump.

Clintonicide happens.

Remember folks, it’s only fascism when Trump does it. When demokkkrats do it, it is demoKKKracy.

MustangCryppie

Why would this asshole think anyone gives two shits what he thinks? Disloyal fuck.

David

Landslide only for acreage, was about 1% of the population, 1.6% margin of actual voters. Clear win, yes, landslide, no.

Interesting what thoughts about possibly going to Leavenworth can do.
