The first roadblock on the path to dictatorship
They thought impeachment might do it. But Republicans ignored all the charges and all the witnesses, so it went no where.
The Russia investigation, with all its convictions and evidence, was swept under the rug. It was called a "hoax" and forgotten about.
The Ukraine scandal, with evidence that would have destroyed any other presidency, was dismissed as trivial and political.
Herr Trump was on the phone with Putin all the time. Nobody knew what they were talking about? The American people depended on Russia to report the news about the phone calls.
It looked like clear sailing to a dictatorship in America. There was no resistance.
Until General Milley was used as a military prop for a photo op at a church near the White House. He was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the highest ranking military man in the nation. He was dressed in combat fatigues and walked with the White House lackeys down to the church for a photo op with a Bible. He was used by Donald Trump to signal that the military was under his control.
But, about ten days later, General Milley seemed to have second thoughts? Perhaps he had talked with other military people? Without discussing it with the White House , he came on TV to apologize to the American people for allowing himself to be put into such a position. He said he was wrong.
For the first time, someone had put up a roadblock in front of Donald Trump's march to total control of our government. The dictatorship was just around the corner. However, he could not complete his mission without the military behind him. Like a bucket of cold water in the face, General Milley stood up and told Donald Trump that the military was not with him.
This was a victory for the American people and a defeat for Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
