After the Coup, What Then?
Creator's Syndicate ^ | August 6, 2017 | Pat Buchanan

That the Trump presidency is bedeviled is undeniable.

As President Donald Trump flew off for August at his Jersey club, there came word that Special Counsel Robert Mueller III had impaneled a grand jury and subpoenas were going out to Trump family and campaign associates.

The jurors will be drawn from a pool of citizens in a city Hillary Clinton swept with 91 percent of the vote. Trump got 4 percent.

Whatever indictments Mueller wants, Mueller gets.

Thanks to a media that savages him ceaselessly, Trump is down to 33 percent approval in a Quinnipiac University poll and below 40 percent in most of the rest.

Before Trump departed D.C., The Washington Post ran transcripts of his phone conversations with the leaders of Mexico and Australia.

Even Obama administration veterans were stunned.

So, it is time to ask: If this city brings Trump down, will the rest of America rejoice?

What will be the reaction out there in fly-over country, that land where the "deplorables" dwell who produce the soldiers to fight our wars? Will they toast the "free press" that brought down the president they elected, and in whom they had placed so much hope?

My guess: The reaction will be one of bitterness, cynicism, despair, a sense that the fix is in, that no matter what we do, they will not let us win. If Trump is brought down, American democracy will take a pasting. It will be seen as a fraud. And the backlash will poison our politics to where only an attack from abroad, like 9/11, will reunite us.

Our media preen and posture as the defenders of democracy, devoted to truth, who provide us round-the-clock protection from tyranny. But half the nation already sees the media as a propaganda arm of a liberal establishment that the people have rejected time and again.

Consider the Post's publication of the transcripts of Trump's calls with Mexico's president and Australia's prime minister.

When reporter Greg Miller got these transcripts, his editors, knowing they would damage Trump, plastered them on Page 1.

The Post was letting itself be used by a leaker engaged in disloyal and possibly criminal misconduct. Yet the Post agreed to provide confidentiality and to hide the Trump-hater's identity.

This is what we do, says the Post. People have a right to know if President Trump says one thing at rallies about Mexico paying for the wall and another to the president of Mexico. This is a story.

But there is a far larger story here, of which this Post piece is but an exhibit. It is the story of a concerted campaign, in which the anti-Trump media publish leaks, even criminal leaks, out of the FBI, CIA, NSA and NSC, to bring down a president whom the Beltway media and their deep-state collaborators both despise and wish to destroy.

Did Trump collude with Putin to defeat Clinton, the Beltway media demand to know, even as they daily collude with deep-state criminals to bring down the president of the United States.

And if there is an unfolding silent coup by the regime Americans repudiated in 2016 — to use security leaks and the lethal weapon of a special counsel to overturn the election results — is that not a story worth covering as much as what Trump said to Pena Nieto?

Do the people not have a right know who are the snakes collaborating with the Never-Trump press to bring down their head of state? Is not discovering the identities of deep-state felons a story that investigative reporters should be all over?

If Greg Miller is obligated to protect his source, fine. But why are other journalists not exposing his identity?

The answer suggests itself. This is a collaborative enterprise, where everyone protects everyone else's sources, because all have the same goal: the dumping of Trump. If that requires collusion with criminals, so be it.

The Justice Department is now running down the leaks, and the ACLU's Ben Wizner is apoplectic: "Every American should be concerned about the Trump administration's threat to step up its efforts against whistleblowers and journalists. A crackdown on leaks is a crackdown on the free press and on democracy."

That's one way to put it. Another is that some of these "whistleblowers" are political criminals who reject the verdict of the American electorate in 2016 and are out to overturn it. And the aforementioned "journalists" are their enablers and collaborators.

And if, as Wizner's asserts, protecting secrets is tantamount to a "crackdown on the free press and democracy," no wonder the free press and democracy are falling into disrepute all over the world.

By colluding, the mainstream media, deep state, and the special prosecutor's button men, with a license to roam, may bring down yet another president. So doing, they will validate John Adams's insight:

"Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide."

There is no doubt there Is already an ongoing attempted coup of the President.

They are already attempting it through Muller although Trump is resisting this strongly and has out manoeuvred his enemies very easily so far.

Next they will attempt a military coup which will include the murder of our President and VP.

It will result in the most bloody, catastrophic war that humanity has ever known. It will herald the arrival of the Serpant and the Second Coming

They will produce another type of soldier, and the left will shat their pants once that war starts.

Then they go after Pence, that ‘s what they do.

It would not matter who, as long as there is an (R) after their name, they will be vilified, smeared, lied about, attacked and derided until they either quit, get impeached and removed or lose the next election.

Even had the poor schmuck Jeb Bush managed to eek out win by some miracle of electoral math, he would be in the same boat as Trump.

Make no mistake, they fight until they win or you lose....................

What will the reaction be in fly over country?

Hint - we are stocking up on tar and feathers and seasoning the timber and sharpening the saw blades to mill the rails that our politicos will be ridden out of town on

IF President Trump is removed from office it will be because REPUBLICANS removed him. THEY control congress and if THEY let the demoRATS even propose impeachment, it will be THEIR FAULT.

If President Trump is removed by whatever means, this country should BURN THE SYSTEM to the ground, not just demoRATS but ANY republican who didn’t fight to the death to stop it.

Make the demoRAT riots in 1969 look like kindergarten NAP TIME!!!

They forget the story of the DC Snipers. Two low-IQ terrorists using one rifle. Imagine what 10,000 or 100,000 mid-to-high IQ shooters would do.

Yep. Better get a bigger chart for CWII

One with a 7 digit (maybe even 8 digit counter) for the death count.

“Next they will attempt a military coup which will include the murder of our President and VP.”

I told a coworker this weekend that I believe the Democrats will do this before the year is out. And I also told him the MSM will tell all the world that this was the right thing to be done, and that the killer(s) should be held up as Heroes for doing this and the sheep on the nation will nod their heads in agreement. My coworker said he couldn’t believe that. I asked him would you euthanize your child or grandmother, and he said no never. I said Oregon has legalized the latter, calling it assisted suicide. He sighed and said, “you may be right, its getting too crazy out there”. But it is of my opinion that the Democrats will attempt to assassinate Trump and Pence and Paul Ryan this year. I believe that have lost all of the moral compass and will do anything to gain control again.

He might be wrong about that. If the Progs take down Trump, then I will cheer an attack on any major liberal city. There are two Americas. Democrats created that divide. I don’t care anymore if a million of them in Blue America die in a nuclear fireball. I just don’t want it to be a bio-weapon because they’d all flood out into flyover country and infect us good people. /s

Tell me one thing besides tweets he has done to stop the coup.

The Great Second American Renaissance began on February 2, 2018, when the Communist regime in North Korea launched a nuclear attack on Washington, DC. With the Congress in session all members of both houses, as well as 80% of the Federal bureaucracy, were wiped out. President Trump ordered the counterattack from his vacation home in Mar-a-Lago and destroyed the North Korean regime. Freed of the burden of meddling, regulation and taxation, the American economy boomed, it's society flourished, and the United States would assume a position of supreme power and dominance for the next 150 years.

If this POTUS is removed through a coup, I would not want to be a politician of any party in Washington. A few million armed and ready patriots is not something you would want to tick off, especially when a great deal of them are in law enforcement and the military.

lolol. Could happen. We all know God can use evil for His good purposes.

So if it is the Lord's Will that that could or could happen, then all I can say is...

"Go, Lil' Kimmie, Go!"

This battle is not being played out in public view. President Trump has endured and defeated challenges that would cripple nearly every other man in this country.
