(test)


I'm having trouble trying to tranfer a video from my Facebook page to my blog here on Blogspot.  Not sure how to tweak the code - but I can't fix it now because I have plans for midday today.

Also don't know anything about the source for this, but the claims being made do tend to echo what I've heard intermittently on Al Jazeera. There is a war of disinformation going on, and I don't know how this fits in.  The video uses the face of George Will, but I'm sure this is generated by AI from a written text because of various glitches in pronunciation.  I may erase this by tonight if I don't find other confirmatory evidence.

Years ago, probably during the first Trump presidency, I remember speculating (silently to myself, not here on the blog) whether if Trump were to order a nuclear strike or some other catastrophic order, whether the Joint Chiefs of Staff would tell him "Sir, we need to move you to a secure facility first," and then would take him to a bunker in Washington, lock him in, and announce to the Congress and the American people that they have effected a bloodless coup and ask the country to select a new leader.  Trump has removed most of the military brass who disagree with him, but I still wonder whether such a turn of events would be possible.  It would result in a total political clusterfuck, but might be better than the alternative.
