Fascism is Our New Normal (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)

Brad zooms in on Biden’s trip to Arizona and Trump’s rhetoric about killing General Milley to analyze the normalization of fascist politics in the United States. He draws on work from Dr. Gavriel Rosenfeld, a scholar of fascism and Nazi Germany, in order to draw together theoretical and historical threads.

A Tale of Two Judges (Andrew McCabe and Allison Gill; Jack: A Special Counsel podcast, Episode #45)

This week in Florida, Judge Aileen Cannon stays the trial calendar pending Trump’s motion for a delay due to CIPA section 4, and new reporting that Trump shared nuclear submarine capabilities with an Australian businessman.

In DC, Donald files a motion to dismiss all charges based on absolute presidential immunity; an opposition to DOJ CIPA motions; Jack Smith files a motion in support of his original motion for a pre-trial don’t-call-it-a-gag order based on Trump’s posts about Mark Milley and an unrelated possible firearm purchase.

SCOTUS declines to hear Eastman’s attempt to block access to his emails; plus a listener question.

Trump’s violent rhetoric seems to be escalating - The Washington Post

In an interview with The Post, Klaas said Trump's long history of shocking commentary has created "a dangerous double standard" in news coverage: Trump's latest outrage draws less attention because it's typical or expected, but minor flaws in other candidates and officials receive disproportionate attention because they're novel. 

Hence, Klaas said, the inordinate coverage last week of President Biden's dog biting a Secret Service agent. 

Since leaving the White House more than 30 months ago, Trump has rarely been out of the news. But the media's focus has been on his reelection campaign and his cascading legal troubles, including 91 felony indictments — not so much on the escalating and alarming nature of his comments...

A President’s Derangement, a General’s Duty - The Atlantic

Milley, unlike so many in Washington, continued to honor his oath to the Constitution. The next time, we will not be so lucky. The next time, Trump will not make the same mistake twice: He will ensure that no one like Mark Milley will be in the National Security Council, or at the Pentagon— or guarding America's nuclear forces at Strategic Command. The next time, when Trump's narcissism and cruelty tell him that he must exact revenge on the country, perhaps even on the world, no one will be there to stop him...

Opinion | Milley’s revelation about Trump leaves us with five questions - The Washington Post

We already knew the disgraced former president was suffering from the delusion that he won the 2020 election. We knew he tried to twist arms to overthrow the election. And we knew he refused for hours to call off the insurrectionists whom he inspired to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6. What we did not know is how irresponsible so many other Republicans were and continue to be in tolerating and enabling him...

McConnell Told Biden Not to Call Trump After Election, Worried About Reaction: Book

… The nation's top general, Mark Milley, was "certain that Trump had gone into a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election," the book said. Woodward and Costa wrote that Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, contacted his Chinese counterpart twice during Trump's final months to assure him the US would not launch an attack on China. 

There were also concerns that Trump would launch a strike against Iran on his way out of office amid heightened tensions over the US adversary's nuclear program, which has been detailed in numerous reports…

Top U.S. military leader: ‘I want to understand White rage. And I’m White.’ - The Washington Post

…"I've read Mao Zedong. I've read Karl Marx. I've read Lenin. That doesn't make me a communist," Milley told the House Armed Services Committee. "So what is wrong with understanding … the country which we are here to defend?" …

It’s not the chairman of the Joint Chiefs’ job to remove Trump from office if he won’t leave.

Why appeals to the military to remove Trump from office if he refuses to step down are misguided and dangerous.
