New Yorker staffer Hendrik Hertzberg, everyone

Is there a national stash of strait jackets somewhere? I think we might need them for some of these idiots.

All the military guys I know support Trump. Have not heard any of them state a problem with our President.

Amazing as we military guys will bitch about anything.

Yes there is. They come in two popular sizes: 5.56 and .308.

The straight jacket stash is being hoarded by the Rats.

Hertzberg is the Nimrod who wrote Dhimmi Carter’s “Malaise” speech.

These Progs always assume the coup will go their way.

Interesting. Especially since all my retired military associates and the vast majority of active duty military I know thinks the world of Trump and loathes the Democrat party.

The media seems to forget that we military swore to protect and defend the constitution (something our media evidently cannot get through), not protect a political party.

So, let’s hold off on that coup until after the media/Democrat complex cheats their way into their next try at a socialist country.

Then, we’ll see.

Hertzberg followed up by tweeting: “As somebody or other once said, I was being ... sarcastic.”

I don’t trust the senior military guys as much as I once used to. Clinton started to purge the real soldier types and replaced them with political types. I think the political types have achieved enough critical mass to override the soldier type leaders. You have to wonder how many Vindmans, Hasans and others are planted throughout the military in key positions.

As for the soldiers, most do not seem corrupted by politics and will uphold their oath. I have met a few that I was shocked they ever let in due to their socialist ideologies.

I would love to see a complete investigation of every military person from the top down to see if they have red flags. They should be deal with appropriately. I am pretty sure the UCMJ already has laws governing this.

This guy is full of himself.

Touting Mayor Pete as being full of “emotional intelligence”.

A lot more people are directly involved in the coup to overthrow the government of the United States than I could have imagined.

Not as many as you think. Dunford started to clean them out in the last two years of Obama.

Kudos to you for the eye rolls.

I have been running a billion eye roll deficit since August 2016...

Yeah, it’s time for a coup but not like they are thinking.
