Trump's defense secretary denies there were orders to have 10K troops ready to deploy on January 6

Former acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller told the House select committee investigating the Capitol Hill insurrection that former President Donald Trump never gave him a formal order to have 10,000 troops ready to be deployed to the Capitol on January 6, 2021, according to new video of Miller's deposition released by the committee.

And yet Trump had the balls, or delusion, to spew "Law and Order" to his cult members in a speech today. "There is no longer respect for the law and there certainly is no order." Said the con man who took out lines of a speech talking about prosecuting the insurrectionists. They mindlessly applaud because, I'll guess, they just love their "Law and Order." Which is code for black crime and brown immigration. Sort of like how they weep with joy over the mention of "Freedom." But it's only the right kind of freedom and doesn't extend to everyone.

@Ynotisay That some people know the same facts that the rest of us do, and aren’t laughing Trump off the air, because apparently they interpret those facts so differently, is terrifying. 😳

@Ynotisay Yes. The strong dichotomy of a Republican Party which no longer wants a democratic republic has been openly revealed in these few years.
