Donald Trumps onetime national security adviser Michael Flynn warned at an Arizona campaign event that governors may soon declare war.
-snip-
The far-right extremist pushed his theories in a speech earlier this week at a campaign event for Trump-endorsed, QAnon-supporting election denier Mark Finchem, whos running for Arizona secretary of state.
Just lock em up, Flynn exclaimed, apparently referring to federal agencies he wants shuttered.
States rights, he added. Did you know that a governor can declare war? A governor can declare war. And were going to probably see that, Flynn warned.

Traitor Flynn should be locked up for the rest of his life.

It's hard to believe he had a thriving, responsible, military career.
I wonder what broke.

Did Ian blow your Florida house away? Would Desantis really declare war after taking those billions in government tax dollars?
Maybe Ian blew away Mikes whole plan.

(53,871 posts)I think when he was in the military he was ok because he had to follow orders. Once he was out of the army and on his own, there were no guidelines to keep him in his lane and he was adrift and vulnerable to any crazy schemes and theories that came along and he's regurgitating them back to whoever will listem.
Hope the FBI is monitoring him.

(10,158 posts)if states can declare war, who do they declare it on? The United States? But being states they're part of the US and this would make them a state in rebellion, allowing the entire US military to come in an slap them upside the head. Do they declare war on other individual states? Then again the entire US military will come to the aid of those states.
Is Flynn thinking of a scenario where each of the 50 states declares war on some combination of the other 49? Or is Flynn just a blithering (albeit dangerous) idiot?
