President Donald Trump has named former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, pardoned by Trump after pleading guilty to lying to the FBI, to the board that oversees the West Point military academy.

This guy lied to the FBI and admitted it. He spoke at an event shortly after the Myanmar coup and said, "Why can't we do that here?" He recorded a video of his family making a pledge to the Qanon conspiracy theory (dems drink the blood of babies). He's literally not well. But he has fealty to Trump, and that's all that matters.

Michael Flynn who was kicked out of his National Security Advisor role after one month because he had been secretly working as an agent for a foreign power? Michael Flynn who lied to the FBI? Michael Flynn who pledged allegiance to QAnon? That Michael Flynn?

Yes the same convicted felon Mike Flynn.

If you and your West point grads to be are not actively making a plan to make him disappear, you're not cut out for the US army. We destroy fascists; not enable them. Following unlawful orders is always unlawful, no matter your commanding officer.

Why is Flynn still politically relevant in any way? How many times does this failure deserve to be bailed out by the American taxpayer.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

He's not a failure, he's a traitor. And that's why he's still relevant: because he's been appointed by an even bigger traitor in order to poison the minds of the next generation of the US's military leadership and turn them into traitors, too.

I’ve been curious when Trump was going to find a job for this POS.

Y'all need to start asking the important questions. Who cares about Mike Flynn, I want to know when the My Pillow guy is getting a position in Trumps regime?

I hear everything you're saying, and he's clearly an opportunitic psycho, but....he's probably onto something with the whole drinking the blood of babies...he just left out the part where Bill Clinton passed the virgin blood chalice to Sheldon Adelson, who also drank from it, before passing it to Rick Scott.
