Which is which?

Well, they did a bang up job at being the Taliban’s Supply Branch. So they did that well anyway.
None of that could have been a mistake. I garan-damn-tee you some of those in the lower chain of command complained about the orders they were given but followed them anyway.
There’s a LOT of people in that chain who didn’t want to do this but did it anyway. The upper chain of command likely made it clear at various levels that failure to comply would result in punishment and likely “mysterious death.” The CIA operates there and “they have their ways” don’t they?
Not yet. I realize where you’re coming from, and see the clown show that is the brASS at the top, but I’m still proud to show support and enthusiasm for the soldiers. They’re the ones that do all the work. They are the ones that experience all the suffering. They are the ones that deserve all the credit for a job well done.
I would like to hear from our GOP side – either you, General Milley, are lying, or Bob Woodward is lying. Which one is it?
It’s all, CYA and 2022!
Ratings, baby…
and POLL #s
Ahh bad script writing and bad theatre about to begin.
This is where they blame 45, mythical white rage, and state the Taliban are our new BFF’s that will now be naming all their new sons “George Washington”.
The fake politicians will read their scripts and say luke warm things and people will say they were “Tough!”.
“Bagram?” Is that a new flavor coffee from Starbucks?
No, I think the new flavor is Aleppo.
They just threw Lt Col Scheller into jail for being disrespectful of his “superiors”.
OK.
You are now calling Biden a liar. Well? Rank has its privileges. Or maybe rank has its hypocrisies.
He may be their Alfred Dreyfus.
In this case “rank” represents stench. The higher the rank, the worse the stench.
My take from what I have seen and heard to this point is that with all the tossing under the bus that is occurring, DC is going to need a fleet of buses.
Very, very big buses.
What a bunch of under performing hacks.
That pretty much sums it up for the whole government, doesn’t it!?!
Always has, always will…….
Dopey Joe ignored military advice and precipitously withdrew from the field of battle rolling out the red carpet for savage Islamic Supremacists.
Just like 0bama did in Iraq.
Imagine that.
It was an Obama move…cuz it was Obama that was directing the withdrawal. Simple as that!
Obama couldn’t direct his way out of a paper bag!
Satanic disciples.
I thought lies to Congress was a crime.. .
For you and me. For them, it is a ticket to work for CNN or MSDNC, as long as they keep their security clearance….
Fauci has done so many times yet nothing has happened. If you have money you can lie to God…at least that’s how the system sees it.
Communists testify in front of friendly communist congress for a tv show.
It is now a Communist Government…don’t ya know.
kleen: Let’s Make a Spiel
Cotton asked Milli Vanilli why he hasn’t resigned?
Milli Vanilli—because my dad didn’t get to resign at Iwo Jima
Cotton should have followed up with “Are you suggesting that we are in the middle of a war, you are on the front line and just who is the enemy, the American public?”
The difference is his dad was trying to win a war.
So he tried to hide behind his father. How pathetic trying to use his father like that.
Well, he took a page from Biden’s Beau book.
Being a coward is hereditary?
And it gives them an opportunity to display massive campaign ribbons. With that amount of decorations you can be sur the collection began with the charge up San Juan hill with Teddy.
It would be interesting to know what all of Milly’s medals represent.
Pin the medals on the donkey.
Cotton also requested that sec Austin give him info on blinkin using military aircraft.
I think cotton might have info about the state dept using the military to move illegals both to the border and then to distribute the infected invaders throughout our country.
Putting our service members at risk for covid.
“Did your dad do something at Iwo Jima for which he deserved to be court-martialed?”
Criminy! A kindergartener could come up with better questions then these guys! Wouldn’t that be fun to watch? Some little kid up there just asking, “Why?” “Why?” I “Why?” for an hour straight! LOL!
Has anyone asked Milley what he is dong to protect America from demented Joe pressing a button that shouldn’t be pressed?
I’m to the point of “So what?” Theater. A stage for congressional show offs. Will it change anything? The verbal equivalent of a
“strongly worded letter”. The Big Club Coffee Morning.
I am so glad we have congress to bring accountability to this country. I feel better now that something is being done by them.
Now we will fix things. Congress got involved.
Another congressional testimony is exactly what we need. I hope we can keep getting more and more of them. They are so effective.
I can now move on knowing its all taken care of. Sarc/
I am glad that Congress is at least “having words”. It should lighten their own eventual criminal sentencing by a few percent.
I’m not even remotely interested in watching this. Lol. On rotten tomatoes I bet it would get terrible reviews
Congressional testimonies seem like such a waste of time with No Results, but
1. we can figure out that these important people are not important at all, and
2. everyone can sharpen their Critical Thinking Skills using these fools as examples
Is Milley taking CCP payments like the treasonous/criminal Clinton Admin & Demoshevik campaign finance committee was?
Testifying before before the senate armed services committee. The most abused phrase, “the American people need to know”. Great soundbite opportunities for senate campaigns. Great opportunities for the hacks testifying to hone their lying and obfuscation skills. At the end of the day absolutely no one will be held accountable and the American people know for sure what a waste of time these proceedings are.
Defund & dismantle all these blowhards & start fresh.
The corruption is so systemic & embedded it is beyond repair.
F these senators who have “respect” for Milley………
“Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley and head of U.S. Central Command General Kenneth McKenzie testify before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Re-election sound bites. They must have that. That’s about the only productive thing out of this circus. productive for the swamp not us.
FOX will be all over it promoting RINOs.
Fox? What’s Fox? Oh, you mean that thing that real people USED to listen to?
How many lies can an intelligent person be expose to before their brain explodes?
Somebody’s lying. Former Acting Defense Secretary MIller is on record saying Milley did not inform him of the calls he had with Chicom General LI. Milley says he did. I don’t trust any of them but will believe Miller over Milley any day.
The dems defending these morons is sickening.
They are all lying but that’s the effectiveness of their strategy since no one ever gets prosecuted. Each one throws another under the bus and when all have testified it comes back full circle. Then everyone looks at one another with that “there you have it” look, the panel concludes and its over with nothing more to happen.
Miller is a Patriot.
Milley is a crappy politician.
Milley is scum; he won’t answer a direct question.
Biden has zero credibility. Austin has twice that much credibility. Milley has twice that much. And McKenzie has twice that.
Top Lying Generals Accuse Lying Biden of Lying.
They are all lying liars who lie.
2 x 0 = 0, 2 x 2 x 0 =0.
Milley just said he contacted the Chinese “on instruction”, meaning President Trump.
Did I hear that right?
That’s Milley trying to cover his ass…………I wouldn’t believe him. I doubt he made the call “on instruction”.
More than likely, he meant Defense Secy Mark Esper.
That could be. I’ll have to review it later.
Probably a former President member of the deep state.
Yah. Maybe he ‘heard’ from his god like NY Gov did.
They should have in the brig LTC Schiller testifying, not these lying liars who lie.
The only reason the swamp is pretending to have today’s
congress testimony, with Milley and other military crooks is for soundbites.
Their State Controlled Media will run with it and shape the desired narrative for “both sides” (The Uniparty games) The 2 party illusion must go on.
The elected crooks need re-election sound bites. They must have that. That’s about the only productive thing out of this circus. productive for the swamp not us.
FOX will be all over it promoting RINOs.
They both have had a month to work on their excuses, smooth overs, and lies. It shows. I could not watch more than 5 minutes.
The freak show continues.
When a traitor is supported by the illigitimate occupant of the WH & the justice system is a political weapon………………then what?
Anyone not physically ill watching yet another soap opera of “How the Greatest Nation is Destroyed ” isn’t grasping the reality of the demonic forces at play.
Kabuki theater as usual.
I dedicate this to Austin, Milley and McKenzie –
“You’re LOSERS! Everything WOKE turns to shit.” PDJT 8/21/21
Only until Johnny strikes up the band – Warren Zevon – get your hats, trumpets, and glitterati ready.
I’m sitting here wondering what must be like to pretend to be elected when you know you stole our votes and hold a congressional hearing with pre-planned questions and answers to make people believe this is whole scam is real.
What must go through their minds while they sit there and perform this sheet show for the public?
Hollywood is one thing, we all know is performance, acting, they are actors and they get paid to play pretend.
But politics is also performance, acting to make people believe is real. What kind os sick mind one must have to go along with that?
One that is getting filthy rich beyond their wildest dreams.Those that have sold the country down the toilet.We have only recently begun to see how many Godless,perverted,corrupt and traitorous people there are.
Isn’t method acting where you really get into your role and it becomes real to you? Considering the average age of Congress, these people have had decades longer to perfect their acting than most Hollywood stars.
“that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed”
I withdraw my consent.
Is supply side economics when you supply the bad guys with weapons? I forget…seems like a way to continue perpetual war to me but they say they want to get out of Afghanistan. Can you say liar liar pants afire?
Epoch Times article:
https://www.theepochtimes.com/milley-admits-he-told-chinese-general-the-united-states-was-not-going-to-attack-china_4020630.html
Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a congressional panel that he was certain in October 2020 that then-President Donald Trump “did not intend to attack the Chinese.”
Milley said then-Defense Secretary Mark Esper directed him to convey that intent to Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army. Intelligence indicated that the Chinese Communist Party was concerned about such an attack, according to a declassified memorandum on the calls.
How is this anything other than: Article 3, section 3, clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution specifies that the giving of aid and comfort to the enemy is an element in the crime of Treason. Aid and comfort may consist of substantial assistance or the mere attempt to provide some support; actual help or the success of the enterprise is not relevant.
Crystal clear from where I sit.
Where does he get off?
PRESIDENT TRUMP had every reason to attack china after they attacked our election.
Following orders doesn’t include preemptively second guessing the commander in chief to our enemies!
HANG THIS TRAITOR!
I’m beginning to think, congressional hearings are meant to give people the illusion of closure so they move on and leave the crooks alone.
It’s part of a psychological warfare, where they pretend to demand accountability from their own swampees, so the State controlled media gets their needed soundbites and run with it. Molding the story to their liking and convincing people it’s time to move on.
A.k.a. “…transparency.”
See how easy it is?
“So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter. Truth is nowhere to be found and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.” Isaiah 59:14-15.
Nobody fired. This is something I have been saying since the early 2000’s when nobody was fired for 9/11. Nobody at CIA, nobody at DoD, nobody on the NSC. They all just hugged it out and nobody was canned.
The Official Government Party has lost the ability to police its members.
Doesn’t count for Dhimmicrats.
How did we miss that?
Because we had incompetent military in the Pentagon. That’s how.
‘Smartest Men In the Room’, don’tchyaknow. It’s a credential officially attached to the ‘Promotability’ skill code, in any given service, usually transferrable to SES, corporate life, etc. The two have obviously excelled in that particular venue. As a taxpayer, am pretty sure that we did not get what we paid for, here.
See also: “Perfumed Princes of the Pentagon” (Hackworth).
“…Thats when I realized he might be stupid” – President Trump when Chu Hoi Milley said it was cheaper to leave a 10 million dollar tank behind than to fly it out.
Two Jackasses braying before Democrat swine.
Until these hearings arrest someone, pummel them with truncheons, and haul them off, for not answering or lying, then they are useless
100% on board with you !
I’m wondering how may new found heroes we will be told we got from this testimony today and how much money in donations each party will be able to raise from this performance.
We should get a tracking system of donation post congressional hearings. This could be a major political money cow. They keep having them. it must be profitable.
They are men without honor.
Not so long ago, there was a remedy for such men who have betrayed their oaths sworn before God and man.
Woke and Woker.
These two morons together, have the intellectual prowess of a gnat. Still hard to comprehend, how either got promoted to general. Standards must have been lowered, to the point that there are no standards.
Love the Blackburn finger wag at Milley.
Go Marsha go!!!!!!
In much the same way that Zuckerberg was merely scolded or Fauci called out (but not disciplined), this is only for show. The public demands some sort of action but the system needs these useless idiots.
Any guess about what congress hearings are for?
I mean for real, why does the corrupt swamp keep holding endless hearings?
The Investigation Complex has a couple limbs…
Provide cover (in the open)
Showtime for shareholders (this is not us)
Fundraise ( make lots of calls to again…not us)
Don’t have to do real job but can claim “focused on hearing”
Intel collection to provide to media
Maybe more? But I’m pretty close.
Some people call them “Lawmakers” but they don’t write laws, lobbyists do. A lot of “politicians”are selected for optics not any measurable performance or intelligence. Lots of drunks.
This helps justify their positions in DC since the don’t write laws, don’t have real debates, and don’t really perform oversight. All done by the unelected and unseen.
All committee positions are filled by money raised. Same for both parties.
I will say they have screwed themselves over as well as our country.
I think they are part of the plan to destroy Biden (as the fall guy) while they destroy the country.
This is what I want to hear,
General Milley, define “righteous strike”. Succinctly as my time is limited.
Is killing an aid worker and several children a righteous strike according to our military?
No? Then what precipitated your use of the phrase?
Could it be that a strike deemed righteous was required to change the narrative from this administration’s debacle in Afghanistan?
