Milley says he will take ‘appropriate measures’ to ensure safety following Trump comments
thehill.com

In an interview on “60 Minutes” on Wednesday, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley said he will take “appropriate measures” to make sure he and his family are safe in the wake of recent comments made by former President Trump.

Milley’s words come after a Truth Social post by Trump last week calling the chairman a “Woke train wreck” and accusing him of treason, seeming to reference calls made by Milley to China for reassurance at the end of Trump’s term.

“This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!” Trump’s post read. “A war between China and the United States could have been the result of this treasonous act. To be continued!!!”

“I’ve got adequate safety precautions,” the military leader said in response to a question about his concern about his safety from CBS’s Norah O’Donnell.

They're only legal if you're Republican.

Kathy Griffin got blacklisted+investigated for holding up a fake severed Trump head.

But be a Republican politician making death threats and the DOJ will wrist slap you. It's quite clear the bias our DOJ has always had. Other countries like Canada consider some of our extremists terrorists, and we're still handing them baby sentences for an insurrection.

Didn't Republicans burn Obama effigies?

They laterally erected a gallows outside the capitol on Jan 6th and chanted "hang Mike Pence" while they tried to go inside and get him.

They were openly hoping someone would get ahold of Pelosi or AOC and kill them, too.

Lynch mobs love a lil rape and murder, but yet they cry those crocodile tears over Ashli Babbit,

I'm pretty sure the founders of the proud boys and some of our magat groups are Canadian morons. So I'm not so sure.
