I have a full shelf at this point that’s brimming, end to end, with books by ex- and current officials calling trump an actual fascist who is a danger to the country – The Divider, Why We Did It, Unthinkable, Betrayal, I Alone Can Fix It, Frankly We Did Win This Election, etc.
Proof:
None of the millions of words in those books have moved the needle much. This is good to hear, but nothing other than voter turnout will help.
VOTE, and bring friends. Do it now, if you can.
How are you liking the infrared heater?
It’s actually an infrared light because I keep my room dark and my VR headset doesn’t like that. It works pretty well. :)
heh, sitting a few feet from a lighthouse unit. what hmd are you using that needs the light boost? quest 3?
Quest 2.
wish they'd gone public with all those crimes and travesties WHILE HE WAS IN OFFICE, writing mean books about it afterward seems to be doing FUCKALL to stop his return to power.
"Which I am only brave enough to say in my new book after Trump is out of office "
That he published after he was no longer serving as the Chairman of the Joint Chief's of Staff. The US military is known for being apolitical. This is him speaking out as former CJCS Mark Milley, and not CJCS GEN Milley.

~~Hard to paint his actions as morally good when he's doing it to make a profit. Alex Vindman, for example, opposed Trump despite the personal cost for him. Miley doesn't get points for that.~~
Edit: It's Bob Woodward's book, not Milley's.
Also when a former-President and possible-future-President is an outright fascist, "being apolitical" is a great way to defend marching citizens to camps. After all, opposing a direct order from the President might be seen as "political."
The retired general who said this isn't making a profit; Bob Woodward, the journalist, is the one selling the book, not the general.
You know, you're right. I'll amend my posts.
The military doesn't have the same latitude to criticize the President like this that the rest of us do. He can't legally say stuff like this until after retirement
In fairness, it seems that he feels he's not out of the woods yet, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/11/bob-woodward-book-mark-milley-trump
Probably with good reason, https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/25/trump-paul-gosar-suggest-gen-mark-milley-deserves-death.html
If republicans could read, they'd be very upset.
It's always to sell a book, never when it could actually matter in real time.
OH DANG DUDE, IF ONLY YOU HAD BEEN IN A POSITION TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
Always after they retire and have no power or influence, and it's always to sell books.
Fuck these fascist enablers.
Sadly, the only ones who will listen are the ones who already believe him. The ones that need to hear it the most have already been programmed to ignore this type of criticism. Even more are thrilled to hear that Trump is a fascist, because that’s what they want.
And yet, here we are.
Cool. Hey, did you all know that the sky is made of air?
