Asked about political executions, Michael Flynn says 'gates of hell' will be unleashed under Trump

The former White House national security adviser — whom Trump has vowed to hire again if he wins in November — added: “There’s a way to get after this, but we have to win first.”

Michael Flynn, who served as national security adviser in the Trump administration, let his fascist flag fly at a Christian nationalist event Friday.

In a video recorded at the Rod of Iron Freedom Festival in northeastern Pennsylvania, Flynn responded to an attendee’s question about military tribunals and potential executions of Donald Trump’s perceived adversaries if Trump returns to the White House. The former president has vowed that Flynn, whom Trump pardoned after the retired Army lieutenant general pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, would serve in his administration if he’s elected this fall.

General Michael Flynn was asked at the Rod of Iron Freedom Festival Friday night if he'd "sit at the head of a military tribunal to not only drain the swamp, but imprison the swamp, and on a few occasions, execute the swamp."

General Flynn says "What your sentiment is about is accountability" and that "I definitely believe we need accountability."

"There's a way to get after this, but we have to win first."

"These people are already up to no good, so we gotta win first. We win, and then Katie Bar the door. Believe me, the gates of hell, my hell will be unleashed."

court martial him, and at the very least strip him of rank and earnings. I'd rather he'd be tried for treason, but I guess we throw that word around too much without knowing the very specific definitions that apply. Betraying your country, which is what I always felt defined treason, doesn't seem to do it so much these days. But this guy is a traitor, and I'm damned tired of my tax dollars supporting him in retirement to speak as he speaks against American and the American people.

Our democracy (or republic) as it now exists is so flawed it's ridiculous. The same can be said of the Constitution that undergirds it.

The word treason in the Constitution should be revised to fit the circumstances of today.

Where the founding fathers erred was making it too difficult to amend the Constitution. It shouldn't be easy to do it, but it shouldn't be next to impossible either.

I have friends that worked for him at the Defense Intelligence Agency. They said that he has always been a Christian nationalist, even back during the Dubya years. He put out a "dress code" that dictated what civilian and military women were allowed to wear. Not men - just women. They transferred to NSA because Flynn was so cray-cray.

if Flynn is ever again in a gov't power position. He was royally pissed over this:

On April 30, 2014, Flynn announced his retirement effective later that year, about a year earlier than he had been scheduled to leave his position. He was reportedly effectively forced out of the DIA after clashing with superiors over his allegedly chaotic management style and vision for the agency. In a private e-mail that was leaked online, Colin Powell said he had heard in the DIA (apparently from later DIA director Vincent R. Stewart) that Flynn was fired because he was "abusive with staff, didn't listen, worked against policy, bad management, etc." According to The New York Times, Flynn exhibited a loose relationship with the truth, leading his subordinates to refer to Flynn's repeated dubious assertions as "Flynn facts".

if Trump wins, so they will fight back. Where upon MAGA will get their excuse for "civil war" (with government support) and Trump can enact his Insurrection Act and whatever other cleansing solutions he has planned.

If Trump wins, policy will be conducted at the end of a gun barrel. And they have more guns.

Trump cannot be allowed to win.
