Insightful Thread by #Nick_Carmody

#JDVance is a #Sociopath who has no trouble lying, spewing #disinformation and #Gaslighting without compunction

“the same pathetic, dishonest, gaslighting coward who relies on what he “thinks”/“knows” when making unsubstantiated “gut” accusations against the Generals/cabinet members speaking out against #Trump “based on people [Vance] talked to

.....suddenly has a problem with an “anonymously sourced story”….meaning unsubstantiated….and “second hand conversations with #JohnKelly”.

#RussVought has spoken in broad terms about undercutting #independent agencies but never spelled out sweeping plans to defund the #EPA & other #FederalAgencies.

Vought’s plans track closely w/ #Trump’s campaign rhetoric about using the military against domestic protesters or what Trump has called the “#EnemyWithin.” Trump’s desire to use the #military on US soil recently prompted his longest-serving chief of staff, ret Marine Gen #JohnKelly, to speak out….

Continued thread

“Trump used the terms #SuckersAndLosers to describe #soldiers who gave their lives in the defense of our country,” #JohnKelly recently told Goldberg. “There are many, many people who have heard him say these things.” Besides, #Trump has said himself that he wants to use the #military domestically, & he’s disrespected #FallenSoldiers by trying to use #ArlingtonNationalCemetery as a cheap campaign prop.

#Trump is attacking the messenger here because he can’t really attack the message. He denies making the remarks, but a pile of other #evidence backs up the report. Goldberg’s recent story was closely followed by a NYT story in which #JohnKelly, a retired general who served as Trump’s chief of staff, described Trump’s obsession w/personal loyalty & desire to use the #military against domestic critics. 13 other fmr Trump-admin ofcls signed a letter backing these accounts up.

Continued thread

#Obama emphasized that “#JohnKelly isn’t the only one saying this. Two of his defense secretaries—people who worked for him—said the same thing. His chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that is the top of the top brass in our military, said he is dangerous.”

“Now, I happen to know John Kelly & #MarkMilley. They served under me when I was commander in chief. These are serious people,” Obama added.

Continued thread

#Obama pointed out that “some of the people who know Donald Trump best have been saying in no uncertain terms that he should not be president again,” citing fmr #Trump #WH chief of staff #JohnKelly’s recent comments.

Kelly, a retired four-star general, told the Times that Trump meets the definition of a #fascist & that Trump had said that Adolf #Hitler “did some good things.”

At a rally in #Tempe, #Arizona, #Trump cast most #journalists as “the #enemy of the people”—a common refrain of his since 2016.

Trump has repeatedly labeled American citizens as enemies; this week he referred to Reps #NancyPelosi & #AdamSchiff, 2 California #Democrats, as enemies “from within.”

His fmr WH chief of staff, #JohnKelly, decided to speak out against Trump after he said he’d use the US #military to “handle” the “enemy from within.”

Donald Trump motsvarar definitionen av en fascist. Det hävdar John Kelly som var Trumps närmsta medarbetare i i Vita huset. – Jag behöver likadana generaler som Hitler hade, ska Trump ha sagt.#johnkelly #donaldtrump #kamalaharris #presidentvaletiusa
Trumps närmaste man: Han hyllade Hitler

Aftonbladet · Trumps närmaste man: Han hyllade HitlerBy Benjamin Ekroth

Alexandra Petri: If #tRump is really a fascist, then call me a fool: His former advisers only say this because they had a bad time working for him!

"Look, now two of Donald Trump’s top advisers (who had apparently been trapped in cryogenic sleep until just moments ago) have gone on the record saying that the former president is 'fascist to the core' (former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Mark A. Milley) and 'certainly falls into the general definition of fascist' (former chief of staff John F. Kelly).

They only think this because they worked with Trump for years, apparently spending much of their time preventing him from sending troops against the American people, deflecting his multiple requests for military parades and repeatedly explaining to him that you do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to Adolf Hitler."
