If anything in this article in the New York Times is true… we have reached a most dangerous time in our history. Unbelievable!

“I saw the names of these individuals. What I didn’t see was their political affiliations.”

Their party affiliation doesn’t matter. The elites are loyal to themselves, not party or the nation. The political parties are a charade meant to fool the people. The elites are unified in:
1) Support of globalism
2) Support of open borders
3) Support of the military industrial complex and eternal war
4) Support of big government allied with big corporations
5) Disdain for individual freedom and liberty as well as the common man

“The fact that now the NYT is indirectly agitating for a military coup .................
.................................................

Ignores the FACT that the Military loves president Trump!”

Correct. The pattern here is that Trump’s opposition keeps hoping for/conjuring up unrealistic outcomes. We often kid about the “unhinged” nature of our opponents - this pattern indicates that they are, in fact, not tethered to reality. That makes them dangerous until such time as all the truth comes out about them.

The commie rat media isn’t so shy about their goals now.

You’re right. It’s a bit scary, when the libtard rat 🐀 bastards, aren’t even afraid to hide their true agenda any more. They are brazenly out in the open now.

Read between the lines... The NYT is knows that President Trump is already using military intelligence against the Deep State’s CIA, and that the armed forces will play a major role when the hammer is dropped on the traitors and seditionists who have plotted against our Republic. They all know what is coming. Mr. Weiner knows what is coming, and all he can do is plead for more traitors.

The CIA has long been questionable.

An independent force they like to be.

Weiner’s published work is not proof that the CIA and FBI colluded with Hillary Clinton, the Democrat Party, Russian oligarchs, British spies, and “journalists” to prevent Trump’s election, then undermine his ability to conduct his Constitutional duties. But as I remember them, his histories of the CIA and FBI exposed these agencies as corrupt, incompetent, and self-serving from their birth. If you wanted to argue that these organizations are quite capable of anti-Trump machinations and subversion of our democracy and our government, Weiner would be required reading.

Democrats like Weiner used to hate and distrust the security state; now it can do no wrong. Their Trump-hate is strong, their integrity is weak.

The fact that they call it The Resistance, the fact that their charges are literal lies, the fact that they try to undermine the authority of the President shows that they are frantically desperate and GUARUNTEES that this must end in bloodshed.

All those who celebrated Obama’s ‘pen and a phone’ are suddenly
concerned about executive power. That horse is long out of the barn.

Interesting what the author had to say about Mueller in Q %A...Feb 2012

He was asked....”Who on that list would you put at the top of the list for being the most honest and who would be at the bottom?”

Tim Weiner....”Well unquestionably, Bob Mueller, who has run the bureau for the last decade and will run it for another two years is at once the most successful, the most powerful and the most civil liberties minded, I would say, FBI Director in the history of the FBI which goes back 103 years.”

“Think twice before following this man’s orders in a crisis.”

“Tread lightly gentlemen, you are approaching a perilous edge with such advice.”

It’s as if these seditionists are signaling that a staged crisis is imminent. If so, how would they know of it, unless they are the ones fomenting for it.

Which is why they and their lackeys miss Emperor Obama so much.

It is true Trump is not a king. It is also true the NYT is staffed by liberal racists and idiots.

Why does the NYT (New York Terrorists) believe they have any right whatsoever to issue any opinion? They lost that right when they hired a anti-white genocidal racist — AND DEFENDED THE HIRE.

They were perfectly happy with "King" Obama spewing out unconstitutional executive orders like some kind of tyrant. I'm still overpaying a huge amount of money for health care thanks to "King" Obama and DNC minions in the House, Senate and Supreme Court.

These people make me want to puke my guts out!

And these same jerk weeds had nothing to say about Obola, who acted more like a king than any president we’ve ever had...
