Retired Gen. Mark Milley Calls Trump ‘A Total Fascist’:

Retired Army Gen. Mark Milley, who served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, now says Trump is a “total fascist” and “fascist to the core,” according to a forthcoming book by Bob Woodward, the famed Watergate journalist.

“He is the most dangerous person ever,” Milley told Woodward for his book “War,” according to The Guardian. “I had suspicions when I talked to you about his mental decline and so forth, but now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is now the most dangerous person to this country.”

“A fascist to the core,” Milley said.

Hillary Clinton Warns Harris: Be Prepared For An October Surprise

Hillary Clinton sounded upbeat about Kamala Harris’ chances of accomplishing what Clinton had hoped to do: becoming the first woman president. But she also had some advice for Harris.

CLINTON: I believe strongly that she has to be prepared for any last-minute October surprises that come from the Trump campaign, from their Russian support system that has now been called out numerous times by our own government, that they once again are trying to help Trump get elected.

Fortunately, Clinton said she has talked to Harris frequently and believes the vice president is “much more aware than we were back in 2016” about how important it is to combat “the kind of vicious, viral attacks and claims” that Trump and his allies spread on social media.

“She doesn't have a Jim Comey, thankfully, waiting in the wings, you know, a knee-capper,” Clinton continued, but Trump’s “Big Lie machine” plus artificial intelligence makes the underhanded tactics “much more sophisticated.”

“So, that's what I think she has to be really prepared for,” Clinton added. “And I believe her campaign is.”

Fox News' Gutfeld: Only People Amplifying 'Crackpot' Greene Are Democrats

After Joe Biden had finally had enough and called out the dangerous lies being spread by MAGA Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Donald Trump and others, the right-wing pundits on Fox's The Five were in full damage control mode this Wednesday.

After Dana Perino pretended not to know where the lie about the $750 originated, her cohorts did their best to try to minimize the damage being done by these lies, and once again, the only push-back came from the lone Democrat on the panel, Jessica Tarlov, and even she flubbed where the $750 lie originated. It wasn't Lara Trump. She was just repeating what Donald Trump had already said to his cult.

After Jeanine Pirro attempted to credit Elon Musk for getting the first Starlink satellites set up in North Carolina, which was fact checked by Tarlov (it was the government that brought the first ones in, not Musk), Tarlov proceeded to take the others to task for their criticism of Biden.
