Flynn should reinstated, stripped of rank, court martialed and thrown into Ft. Leavenworth. He is a traitor and a POS.

not happening
Flynn, should forced back into active duty, stripped of rank, all benefits yanked, court martialed and thrown into Ft. Leavenworth. The mother fucker is a traitor and take Bannon too.
Any of you anti-gun people have second thoughts hearing shit like this?
I'm mostly in favor of gun ownership, but unless I'm allowed to own RPGs, bombs, and other similar equipment then I'm not going to be able to do much against the military with it. Gun ownership is for self-defense, not fighting the military like so many right wing nuts dream about. The only real option if fighting the military happens is aid from outside or taking the military's equipment. Both of these do not require prior ownership of weapons. Alternatively, knowledge of bomb making would be another tool, and does not require prior ownership, though this knowledge is controlled already and not defended by typical gun-rights organizations.
Everyone looks at extremes.
Yeah, a populace armed with AR-15s and Glocks can't fight bombers, but when a government reaches the point where bombers are being used against the population you'll also have a military split, so there will be heavy equipment on both sides.
Imagine something smaller in scale, like if the governor of Texas decided to start execution of liberals while Trump was President. Trump probably wouldn't directly take part, but also wouldn't send in the military to stop the governor.
That's where small arms for civilians becomes relevant.
They're also relevant because they're distributed. With 100 million+ armed households, there's no safe way to be a tyrant.
Trump was almost killed by 1 person who planned poorly. If there were millions of armed people moved to that level of violence it would be impossible to govern without committing the kind of atrocity that would cause a military split/coup.
If you haven't been targeted by the police for running your mouth at them then who are you lecturing exactly ?
Why are you attacking your allies ? Not everyone should have a fucking gun, mate.
The gun people are expecting the guns to be pointed at the libs. They're all for it.
They are absolutely clueless that any dictator strips guns from people because they can't bear any threat.
I am gun people....I'm not point my shit at Americans.
The US is spending $1.7T over the next thirty years to completely overhaul its nuclear arsenal.
But don't worry, I've got a Beretta in my holster and a shotgun under the bed.
You forget about Vietnam? Isis is also kicking around still too which you have to know about seeing how recent that one was.
It's not worth the argument. They won't understand.
I’m about winning. We have to win. And these people are already up to no good. So, we gotta win first. We win, and then, “Katy, bar the door.” OK? Believe me: The gates of hell — my hell — will be unleashed.
As my MSNBC colleague Steve Benen just explained, Trump is now openly floating the idea of deploying the military against his critics if he’s elected. It’s easy to imagine Flynn being part of that violent plan.
The guy who was all-in on Qanon, who had his family take whatever stupid pledge on video, who asked why we couldn't "do that here" when Myanmar's army stole their government, wants to be in charge. Frightening stuff.
Heaven and hell needing gates is worrying. I suspect their purpose is containment.
During his first term he just cracked the gates of hell open a little and we had sky-rocketing national debt and over a million covid deaths. Next time he will fling them wide open guaranteeing chaos and the deaths of millions. Listen to him. Believe him on this.
Putin must be giddy that his plan for the destruction of the U.S. might come together.
“What your sentiment is about is accountability,” said Flynn, adding that the Founding Fathers had a similar priority.
“I definitely believe we need accountability,” he said.
“Your question went into some other areas,” Flynn added with a laugh, before concluding: “I think a lot of people actually think like you do, and I think that that’s your right and our privilege. ... There’s a way to get after this, but we have to win first.”
Uh oh....
George Washington would shoot Flynn in the face.
Theodore Roosevelt would rip off his arms and beat him to death with them.
After trampling Trump with a moose.
Is it bad if I want Flynn to be Mike Johnson’s accountability partner after reading that?
Accountabili-buddy!
What a jerk
That we have to worry about the xtian taliban getting power via dementia donnie....in 2024.
We are talking about terrorism here. Why do all these old fucks want life to be miserable for everyone else? Is it because they think they are at the end of of their lives?
Suffering is a core part of the conservative philosophy. Conservatives despise the idea that life can be easier, despite other countries showing us how to do these things.
Affordable higher education, universal healthcare, gun control, robust social safety nets, worker protections... of 31 developed nations, only the U.S. lacks these things. This is 100% because of conservatives.
Nothing good in the history of mankind has ever come from conservatism. Nothing at all. It is a plague of misery, oppression and death that is long overdue for a cure.
Republicans remind me of the Krohn's disease med Skyrizi. "Control means everything to me"
It's 100% because of thevery wealthy owning all three branches of government.
Suffering is a core part of the conservative philosophy. Conservatives despise the idea that life can be easier, despite other countries showing us how to do these things.
Suffering for those they disagree with. Hard lives for those they dislike, while conservatives pay lip service to their hardships and buy off their problems with indulgences.
No, it's because they've been miserable their entire lives despite having the world handed to them on a gold-colored platter.
