Advocating a military coup against a duly elected, sitting president... one wonders how this is not treason.

Who’s military does this treasonous imbecile thinks is going to carry out her precious little “coup”?

Obama did his best to purge patriots from the military and install Progressive operatives, but it would have taken 8 years of Hillary Clinton in the White House to finish that job.

ANY threat against a sitting President is a felony. At the least, she should get a visit from our friendly Secret Service agents.

Every military member has sworn an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic ...”

With Trump bringing Washington back into Constitutional compliance, kicking and screaming though they might, just who in the military would be willing to launch such a coup? Not many, by my count.

Hell, I’m willing to wager a lot of military members would gladly volunteer to infiltrate and upend any such coup attempt, with prejudice.

If the military would not overthrow an unconstitutional usurper, they darn sure are not going to stage a coup against a Constitutional President.

C19,

Exactly! The possibility and desire of the military to mount a coup has gone done markedly since January 20th!

Go Trump!

“Rosa Brooks, a former Obama administration official....”

Just a guess, but something tells me she is in a highly favored special minority class. Therefore is free to make such treasonous statements.

Sheit is also, an Op-ed columnist for the Los Angeles Times!

Her education, intellectual yet Idiot, entitles her to slur or president and those of us who voted our president.

The idiot part is that our Military after Obama would take out Trump.

Surely, these organizations have violated some law.

Liberals of the perennial cut-and-run variety, true to form, always want others to carry out their violent fantasies. How about this ignoramus get herself on the front lines with a firearm and start the coup?

So then these morons would get Michael Pence for President, who is considerably more conservative than Trump.

Be careful what you wish for, liberal idiots.
