Freshly pardoned Michael Flynn shares message telling Trump to 'suspend the Constitution' to hold a new presidential election
Retired Gen. Michael Flynn is fresh off a presidential pardon and ready to get back into some trouble.
President Trump pardoned his short-lived national security adviser last week, after Flynn had previously pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with a Russian ambassador. Flynn has since been sharing dubious allegations of voter fraud, and on Wednesday, boosted a message telling Trump to take some radical actions to stop it.
In a full-page Washington Times ad from something called the We the People Convention, Ohio Tea Party leader Tom Zawistowski tries to draw a comparison between Lincoln trying to save the union in 1863 and Trump trying to claw back the 2020 election, using some disputed facts along the way. Zawistowski alleges a lot of similarities between the two times, from "Democrat/Socialist federal officials plotting to finish gutting the U.S. Constitution" to big tech "actively censoring free speech and promoting leftist propaganda." So to counter that, the We the People Convention suggests Trump "declare limited Martial Law to temporarily suspend the Constitution" in order to hold a presidential election re-vote overseen by the military.
JFC, what a freaking bastard!
This is exactly what you would expect from a Russian operative. Seems like this exact thing worked for Putin didn't it?
Or a member of "The Q" that Trump and the Military will out the entire imaginary "deep-state".
Isn't Flynn suspected of being "Q"?
he needs to be a future special ops project in turkey or ukraine.
How many times does Trump want to lose the election? The results made one thing obvious - half the country still hates Democrats, but enough of those grew to hate Donald Trump enough to not allow him to continue his legacy of idiocy. And Flynn would be wise to stop while he is ahead. What a fucking moron.
Is this even legal? It sounds like insurrection
Didn't you know, tRump and all those supporting him, are above the law?
And maybe High Treason would fit in there as well. And the newly pardoned traitor is letting his stupid mouth overload his lack of realization that his pardon only forgives his past crimes, and any new crimes are not covered by that pardon. So Flynn openly suggesting that Trump commit High Treason is committing Sedition, which is punishable by law, and a crime he pardon does not save him from.
Some people have truly lost their minds (and certainly all remaining integrity).
it's like a contest to see who can go out farthest on the limb of sanity.
In the words of my sainted nookomis (grandmother), ''That boy ain't right in the head''...
In the worlds of my sainted misnomis (grandfather), ''moosh noosh'' (dumb ass). Grandad was sparse with his words but they were always right on target.
I think moosh noosh packs a lot of meaning in two words. Your grandmother was wise
Moosh noosh! I LIKE IT!
The Trump administration has been rife with moosh nooshery.
Ha!
Short and to the point. 'nuf said.
So the 'constitution' people want to suspend the constitution...
Can't make this shit up.
The suggestion is so daft that even Amy Barrett would be unable to support it (I think...).
I dunno....
Fricking hypocrites.
Revolting
What is sad is the nonsense and the people following the twitter ad
shared the ad on Twitter
Wow..... Did you read some of the comments/post? Incredible....
What a bunch of creeps.
Disturbing to say the least.
Some people are really off their rockers.
!!!
The more you think about this the more treasonist it becomes.
How in the hell can a retired Army General even remotely think this is ok.
Maybe it's the price he has to pay for the pardon...
You're right about that. Too bad the US doesn't exile natural born citizens. Maybe we can give Flynn to Putin as a Christmas or a birthday present or whatever.
I thought it sounded treasonous, but I wasn't sure if it was or not. Perhaps Flynn was too close to too many mortar shell explosions or something....
The same retired Army General who participated in a Russian propaganda effort sitting next to Putin and was paid $45,000.00 for doing it.
Some, but not enough , ex-military have denounced Flynn. Particularly outspoken was retired Colonel Paul Yingling:
Paul Yingling, a retired Army colonel, put it more bluntly. “Flynn's anti-election propaganda is an essential precursor to violent terrorist attacks on legitimate electoral outcomes,” Yingling told The Daily Beast. “When the bombs go off, the blood is on Mike Flynn's hands.”
...
But Paul Yingling, who was the deputy commander of future Trump national security adviser H.R. McMaster ’s cavalry regiment in Iraq, said Flynn was now issuing an incitement to violence.
“Calling for unlawful new elections is an explicit call for violence to overturn lawful elections. Worse still, Flynn knows that he is calling for violence,” Yingling said.
“Flynn has fought enough terrorist networks to understand this pattern: before terrorists detonate, or emplace, or build bombs, a propagandist radicalizes that bomb-making network,” he continued. “Flynn is that propagandist.”
Retire Lt. Col - his promotion to Col was never approved.
As a grad of CGSC and "instructor" at West Point, sez something 'bout his military foresight and ability to rub salt into wounds of his former supporters.
Regardless, what Yingling said is the truth.
