Lawmakers and others are ‘secretly’ plotting a military mutiny if Trump is elected

Right now, it’s hypothetical but it’s pretty clear that they tend to overthrow the military in the event Trump returns as Commander-in-Chief.

Mutiny is on the menu should Trump win again. That’s according to an allegedly “secret” plan, that’s being widely trumpeted on NBC News, for the military to refuse to follow orders from Trump. Part of this is pre-election posturing, but part of this is entirely consistent with the post-Obama military, up to and including the execrable Mark “White Rage” Milley.

Section 2, Article II of the United States Constitution is extremely clear that the President calls the shots when it comes to the military:

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

There are no workarounds for this. There is no ambiguity. However, that isn’t stopping a cabal of lawmakers and others from trying to figure out how to stage a military coup should Trump be reelected:

…[B]racing for Trump’s potential return, a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers is quietly devising plans to try to foil any efforts to expand presidential power, which could include pressuring the military to cater to his political needs.

Those taking part in the effort told NBC News they are studying Trump’s past actions and 2024 policy positions

“The real military despises the woke idiots in power.”
From my conversations with those unfortunates still there, this is true.

The commies used the same tactics to take power. Vote for us or we will burn your town and homes to the ground. Sadly there will still be ‘voting by mail’ so the communists will not be giving up power.

The woke idiots in charge are the ones doing this and are the ones who issue the orders that the real military has to follow.

***********
Yeah, no one is going to follow the orders of people they despise.

of course it is, and they know they are the true insurrectionists and that their time is almost up to stop Trump before he comes to end their tyranny.

Hence the reason for the military to be part of the insurrection.

As we learned in law school, there is apparent authority and then there is actual authority.

Who knows how much of this is true.

But what IS true is that chairman of the JCS Milley went BEHIND the President’s back to an ENEMY.

He should have been punished to the FULL extent of the law. But instead, there was almost no reporting on it, and he didn’t even get a reprimand.

WE NEED TO PUT A STOP TO THIS BS RIGHT NOW.

This isn’t about the hyperventilating “expansion of Presidential powers” they are beginning a whisper campaign to justify their insubordination and even sedition.

WE NEED TO PUT A STOP TO THIS BS RIGHT NOW.

Hanging offenses? It will only require that Pres. Trump make an example of one or two high ranking military who foment such treason to put an end to such talk and actions. Personally, after all these treasonous bastards have put Trump through over the past 7 years, I could easily turn my head if/when a few key figures meet untimely ends in Putinesque fashion.

Relieve every flag officer and replace them with those called up from conservative state National Guards.
