Daily Mail: Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff says the military will NOT intervene in the election or resolve a disputed vote after Biden warned Trump would have to be dragged from the White House if he refuses to accept defeat

* General Mark Milley told Congress on Friday the military will not get involved in the election process or be willing to resolve a disputed vote
* The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said he believes 'deeply in the principle of an apolitical U.S. military'
* It comes amid fears Trump might refuse to accept defeat if he loses in November
* The president has repeatedly claimed without evidence that mail-in ballots will result in an 'inaccurate and fraudulent' election
* In June, Milley apologized for walking with Trump through Lafayette Square in what turned out to be a photo op during the George Floyd protests

The U.S. armed forces will have no role in carrying out the election process or resolving a disputed vote, the top U.S. military officer told Congress on Friday.

The comments from General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, underscore the extraordinary political environment in America, where the president has declared without evidence that the expected surge in mail-in ballots will make the vote 'inaccurate and fraudulent,' and has suggested he might not accept the election results if he loses.

Trump's repeated complaints questioning the election's validity have triggered unprecedented worries about the potential for chaos surrounding the election results.

Has a survey been done of people and what they know of elecitons?

Do they know how many battalions of lawyers on each side there is and who their corps commanders are?

People do not like when lawyers get criminals off on technicalities. So do you think people really like the machinations that go in in vote count disputes.?

Maybe it needs an airing.


More lawyers have gone to war every 4 years than soldiers that have fought in kinetic wars.

Trump has granted more clemency or pardons to African Americans than any president. He undid the crack powdered cocaine sentencing difference that Joe Biden put into law.


General Milley Vanilley has come out and said he will be derelict of duty.



General Milley Vanilley is a bona fide cuck or idiot. Take you pick.

Take the stupidest white southern redneck, a real goober, and mix them with a really stupid black person and you have a freaky looking John Earle Sullivan. Those ears are something else, hideous bookends to a equally hideous mind.

I love it when right wing trash think they are the only ones with real guns. Today was a good day I didn’t have to break out my AK. But maybe tomorrow I will. A race war is always what you wanted.
