    Jesus.

    https://www.marketwatch.com/story/ex-trump-adviser-michael-flynn-says-myanmar-like-coup-should-happen-in-u-s-11622426143

    Former national security adviser Michael Flynn said over the weekend that a Myanmar-like coup — in which the military overthrew a democratically elected government — “should happen” in the U.S.

    Appearing in Dallas at a QAnon conference, Flynn was asked during a Q&A session that was shared in a Twitter video: “I want to know why what happened in Myanmar can’t happen here?”

    After cheers from the crowd died down, Flynn responded: “No reason. I mean, it should happen here.”

          He CAN still be court-martialed and I think it may be a legitimate step, here.

            I'm not sure the "I went to school on the short bus" defence is going to work here.

                Two things:

                He needs to pronounce the name of the country correctly. LOL

                How does someone like that reach a pretty high position of power? Maybe the US military does a good job of requiring you to follow orders and keep your personal thoughts inside?

                  I think that what happened to him, the way he was railroaded, hounded, and facing imprisonment broke something in him. I think he now sees the establishment of both parties as being illegitimate and immoral.

                  If you went through what he did, you might, too.

                    I get that but you don’t don’t do yourself any favors by going full nut job. He eviserated his legacy pretty quickly. The name Flynn is now just a fringe idea.

                      Of the long list of people who are in the process of overthrowing the government, I think he might be one of the more desirable.

                        A two star general shaming the military with his behavior. The long lens of history won’t see it any other way. He has truly differentiated himself.

                          He was railroaded and crucified for nothing.

                            I have no problem cutting him slack but if I were his friend I would tell him that he spent decades building a personal brand and now he is systematically destroying it for something that is not even going to be a thing in a couple of years.

                                  I saw a video of him reciting the qanon pledge a few months ago. The guy's not playing with a full deck.

                                  Reflects poorly on the U.S. military that is rank is as high as it is.
