General Discussion

in which Taylor was the Chief of Staff at DHS, said this very topic came up several times. He stated they had to get together and talk crazy fuck down to avoid doing something insane like he has been. He said they openly discussed that if they couldn't talk him down, they being folks like him, some cabinet members/advisors, Head Council, Joint Chiefs etc. they determined it would be Civil War. He was very adamant that they truly believed during his first term we were that close to it. Those "guardrails" are gone. Now he's driving us up the Pikes Peak run of 50 years ago at full speed before there were walls and guardrails to keep the cars from plummeting over the highest cliffs. I knew it was bad but didn't realize it was that bad internally first go. He said there were enough sycophants in place even back then that would've been willing to push us there if not for many such as himself and people like General Milley.
