Michael Flynn Ominously Warns Governors May Soon 'Declare War'

Donald Trump’s 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, who’s 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 we’re going to probably see that,” Flynn warned.

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

Um no, I didn't. Perhaps, because they can't.

It's hard to believe he had a thriving, responsible, military career.

I wonder what broke.

Quite a shame actually, given his history. He has as much intelligence now as any other alzheimer's patient.

Is it Desantis?

Did Ian blow your Florida house away? Would Desantis really declare war after taking those billions in government tax dollars?

Maybe Ian blew away Mike’s whole plan.

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.

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?
