    those shorts are so low that we should be seeing pubes, but there are none.

    i figured a staunch conservative and real man like mojoman (trader jorge) would not be so into manscaping...not that theres anything wrong with that.

    Exactly. Republicans in Congress need to hold him accountable, and make him speak publicly under oath about why exactly he felt that he needed to act potentially outside of his constitutional duties (Joint Chiefs isn't in the Constitution, but regardless...).

    I look forward to Republicans making sure that Milley sets the record straight for all of us to hear. I'm sure it'll be a great day for Republican oversight.

    Also have the former acting Defense Secretary during that time frame swear in and testify. We should hear from him also.

    I suggest they hold these hearings in October of next year.

    Yes, we also need Trump under oath as well.

    This is a very important story, we must get the truth out.

    lol at trump cultists talking about how "you’re never above your oath to support and defend the Constitution."

    scott perry has put a lot of effort into undermining the constitution and our democracy by spreading false claims about the election being stolen, supporting lawsuits attempting to overturn the 2020 election, voting twice to not impeach trump and refusing to condemn q-anon to name a few.

    dipshit even accused ISIS of being involved in the las vegas shooting.

    and he now talks about "oath to support and defend the constitution" - what a chode.

    Absolutely. He's an integral witness in this. It would make sense for the GOP to bring him in and testify to build their case.

    I would recommend we also get some unbias men of honor to testify as well. I love Trump but he is of course partisan.

    I believe Republicans of courage should stand up and have a military hero such as General Charles Flynn testify since he was in a position to know what was going on in the room that day. We need the truth from such unbias nonpartisan patriots.

    That is a pure lie. Not that I am surprised to see you telling it.

    How is it a lie?

    Telling a bunch of people who believe firearms exist to fight tyranny that democracy has ended and an illegal usurper is about to enter the White House isn't inciting violence and insurrection?

    The first paragraph has one of the most impressive run-on sentences that I have ever read.

    Let's put Gina Haspel under oath too...

    Gina Haspel Said Trump Was 'Like a 6-Year-Old With a Tantrum': Book
    • Haspel said Trump was "acting out like a six-year-old" after the 2020 election, a new book says.
    • "We are on the way to a right-wing coup. The whole thing is insanity," Haspel said, the book adds.
    • Haspel was particularly unnerved by Trump's firing of Defense Sec. Mark Esper, the book says.
    Then-CIA Director Gina Haspel told the US's top general that former President Donald Trump was "acting out like a six-year-old with a tantrum" in the wake of the 2020 election, according to a new book.

    In addition to refusing to concede the 2020 election to President-elect Joe Biden and pushing groundless claims of election fraud, Trump fired (or tried to fire) a number of top officials — most prominently, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper on November 9.

    "Yesterday was appalling," Haspel said in a November 10 conversation with Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to Bob Woodward and Robert Costa's forthcoming book "Peril."

    "We are on the way to a right-wing coup. The whole thing is insanity. He is acting out like a six-year-old with a tantrum," Haspel, a 35-year veteran of the agency, said, with the authors writing that she, too, was afraid of being canned.

    Milley assured Haspel that "we're going to be steady," according to the book. "Steady as a rock," he added. "We're going to keep our eye on the horizon. Keep alert to any risks, dangers. Keep the channels open."

    "Peril" and other books on the Trump administration released this summer appear to give insight into the final months of Trump's term, with the president's behavior alarming many senior officials.

    In "Peril," Woodward and Costa say Milley placed a call to his counterpart in China to tell him "that the American government is stable and everything is going to be okay" and that he would warn him if the US were to attack China.

    One official told Politico that the conversation was "grossly mischaracterized" in the book, and the Pentagon has defended Milley, with the Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby recently telling reporters that "it is not only common, it's expected that a chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff would continue to have counterpart conversations."

    The Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender says in his book "Frankly We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost" that then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also expressed concerns to at least one person that Trump would enter into a foreign conflict to try and stay in office after losing the 2020 election.

    Trump's firing of Esper not only unnerved Haspel but also alienated another top advisor, David Urban, who told the president's son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner that it was "a dick move" that made Trump "look out of control," Bender's book says.

    The book also says both Pompeo and Milley feared that the new officials brought into the Defense Department and White House after the 2020 election were conspiracy theorists and could even have "links to neo-Nazi groups."

    I fear doing so may erode our standing even further on the world stage. Damned if you do, damned if you don't...
