Military Coup Against Trump
Is it possible??? I seriously doubt it...I'm still pretty connected with the military, but one never knows what is going on at certain levels...
But a writer I follow has just put out a two part article on Townhall (yes, conservative, but with both Trump supporters and NeverTrump folks) that presents a fictitious but plausible scenario...
The writer is a successful Los Angeles trial lawyer, a veteran with a masters in Strategic Studies from the United States Army War College, and a former stand-up comic...covers lots of bases...
Read, and maybe comment...(who am I kidding)

Re: Military Coup Against Trump
I read that and thought it was a bit melodramatic
We are waaaay to soft, and people at the top have waaay too much to lose
Too many moving parts, too many chances for a leak to kill it in infancy
We Americans prefer whining and proclaiming "the end is near" but until Apple comes out with an app for it, there wont be a coup

Re: Military Coup Against Trump
This is your government right now:
Janet Yelen and the fed is running the economy.
Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan are setting the domestic agenda.
Mad Dog Mattis and T-Rex are handling foreign affairs.
Trump is just the goofy face of this government. There's no need for a coup.

Never happen.
But some folks think that, if Kelly can't shape up the West Wing, nobody can. In that case, all bets are off.

"1. Now it’s up to military decision makers – who are on a tight schedule with Ryan and McConnell sitting this phase out while their elected flocks are on a two week recess – hence the insertion of General John Kelly into position at the White House.
2. The burner President Trump has been deactivated from service.
3. The Elders, General Joe Dunford and his hand picked gaggle of patriotic generals are bringing this beast of a transition home.
4. Once the hidden Republic government begins to emerge from the shadows (it’s been functioning for several years now) and into light of day, our USN will be released (in China which speaks volumes about the true status of our sovereignty) and instantly be received worldwide as the nation’s legal tender – meaning at the tier 4,5 levels. And away we go.
5. Is General Kelly really in position tonight July 31 for the start of both the public admission of the Republic (all be it soft disclosure)

Re: Military Coup Against Trump
HHHmmmm.
From what I know, just a handful of Marines and Navy personnel. They are 100% behind Trump. If this "coup"(would Obama pronounce the "p")were to occur it would be totally political based.
I'd side with the Military over the political BLM, SJW, crybabies any day, but they are all deployed overseas.
Still, I'd choose sides with Sprout, Grizza and 93.

If Kelly can't straighten things out, then that means more of the same- an ineffectual executive branch
coups happen when you are effective - at doing very bad things

Re: Military Coup Against Trump
Lots of coups happened to incompetent leaders.
There is next to no chance of this happening to Trump, though. Coups in countries with legitimate democratic institutions is exceedingly rare. Instead of organizing a military coup... would be a lot easier to start backroom talks with big money donors to get Congress interested in impeachment. There's really no need for a coup in our system unless it completely breaks down. And, as wacky as things are - we're nowhere near that point.
Just some crazy dude's fan fiction. I'm sure his next article will be on impending EMP doom.

Re: Military Coup Against Trump
I didn't read the articles but I don't think there's going to be a coup against Trump because I don't think it'd be seen as necessary. One thing I've been encouraged by so far is that my hope that our system would keep Trump from doing too much damage has been realized. Yes we'd be better off if somebody else...even Hillary...were President but it's not the end of the World short term.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

What the military should do is eliminate anyone that is fucking with Trumps agenda.
Paul Ryan
Mitch McConnell
John McBraincancer
Chuck Schumer
Nancy Pelosi
Just take out most of congress and truly drain the swamp.
Let Trump do the job we elected him to do and quit letting the people that put the USA in the current state of affairs, have any say in Trumps agenda.
Execute them
