“Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley took steps to prevent then-President Donald Trump from misusing the country’s nuclear arsenal during the last month of his presidency, according to a new book by The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward and Robert Costa obtained by NBC News.
“I can guarantee you, you can take it to the bank, that there’ll be, that the nuclear triggers are secure and we’re not going to do — we’re not going to allow anything crazy, illegal, immoral or unethical to happen,” Milley told her, according to a transcript of the call obtained by the authors.
“The president alone can order the use of nuclear weapons. But he doesn’t make the decision alone. One person can order it, several people have to launch it,” he said later in the conversation.
After the call, Milley summoned senior officers from the National Military Command Center to go over the procedures for launching nuclear weapons, the book said. He told the officers that if they got a call, “you do the procedure. You do the process. And I’m part of that procedure,” he said — making sure he was in the loop on any planned military actions, the book said.
The former Seditionist-in-Chief couldn’t be trusted with our nuclear arsenal not the current President. It must suck to attach yourself to the a$$ end of a traitor…
I asked someone I know who makes fun of Biden being senile the following questions over the course of a conversation:
1) What did you have for lunch today?2) What did you have for dinner yesterday?3) Where are your glasses?4) Did you pay your quarterly taxes on time in June?5) What is the name of son’s best friend I met last time I was here?
Couldn’t remember, Couldn’t remember, Took a 5 minutes search to find, Forget completely to pay quarterly taxes, Couldn’t remember.
The nuclear codes have a person dedicated to keeping track of them. The idea that they could go missing is not a problem. But if you think that gun ownership should have the same degree of protection as nuclear code ownership, let’s do it. If you want to own any guns, they have to be handled by another person.
Just a little truth here. Biden does not carry the codes aka “the football,” A member of the armed forces carries them handcuffed to his/her wrist. Now I wonder how come Steve Kelley cannot find his eraser for his lies? He must have misplaced it.
When it comes to using the Nuclear Codes, Biden is probably the most deliberative leaders we’ve had in a very long time. He probably doesn’t even want to know where the codes are.
Even a complete twit such as S. Kelly should know that the President doesn’t have the nuclear codes in his jacket pocket. His military attaché carries them in a briefcase (the nuclear football) and he goes everywhere that the President goes.
All of the RWNJs landing here to recharge their hatred batteries claim that Biden is doing those terrible things that Trump actually did, and, when someone points that out, they scream, “We’re talking about Biden here” to deflect from the truth.

Mentally unfit? You mean like trump? He’s not much younger that Biden and he can’t even walk down a ramp or hold a glass of water with one hand!

SKelley had no problem with TFG, and he was definitely a threat. Get back to me when Biden stages a coup against the US government.

If this helps Kelley and other konservatives to support rigorous red flag laws, then some good is done.

Everyone knows what the codes are:
Person, woman, man, camera, tv.
.
And, SKelley’s nuclear code: It’s OKAY If A Republican Does It!
