Congressman: "Donald Trump is a very dumb man. He could not have done this on his own." EXACTLY!

[egbertowillies]

Congressman Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) did not pull any punches as he pointed out there are forces at work beyond a dumb Donald Trump. Heed his call.

1. Quite right. TFG is a symptom rather than the disease itself.

He always had, and still has, plenty of enablers.

4. Trump is just the tip of the pimple

Sorry.

2. My biggest fear is of

General Flynn obtaining any power at all.

3. Just get rid of the loud intro noise.

Otherwise I like his editorials.

5. Ignorance of everything is no excuse.

He should be locked up, along with his slightly smarter co-conspirators.

6. Yup

Trump is a front man for his backers ... oligarchs hoping to make themselves powerful and rich.

7. To me, the most important point of what he said, which must not be dismissed, is the one about the

military.

He said (paraphrasing), that it is good that "part" of the military defended Democracy, but there are people in the military, like Flynn who cannot be more QAnon, who still pose a danger.

I am of the belief that there are more people in the military, some in the high brass, who are like Flynn, military people love power, and that is where the biggest danger lies, because if those people replace generals like Milley, then we are in real trouble.

If we look through history we will find, time after time, the big role that the military played in supporting dictators and totalitarian regimes, many times it was the high brass who became the dictators themselves, so lets not kid ourselves that the military are the saints we many times think they are. I do hope I am wrong about this.

There is Flynn, and there is Flynn's brother who is still on active duty. I happen to know one in the Navy who adored trump, he is a very high ranking official, involved in secret stuff that I don't know of, but he is there, and he thinks the world of trump. I have not talked to him since last year, hopefully after January 6, 2021 he has changed his mind.

We all need to listen for signals from the military, that is the biggest danger if many decide they don't want live by their oath to protect the country and the constitution.
