Trump is not only patently unfit to be president, but a danger to America and the world. Voters must stop him before the military has to.

I'm betting,on election day,the military goes in for Trump at 85%.

Who in the world would write and print such baloney?

Well, we see the Democrats at work.

Rule with fear.

If there was no coup d’état under probably the worst commander in chief our country has ever had in all the hundreds of years of its existence, there is basically no chance of it under one who might end up being one of the best, DJT. It is indeed more likely there will be a coup d’etat under Trudeau in Canada and a movement to be annexed by us.

That’s Kirchick. James Kilpatrick was of course one of the commentators on the old 60 minutes point counterpoint segment.

Shana you ignorant slut!

I always find that the leftists who are the loudest advocates of violence, such as Bill Ayers and this clown, are the ones least capable of it when it comes to being alone, not supported by a crowd against one or a few. This dingbat forgets that 90+ percent of NRA members support Trump as does the clear majority of the Army and police. Just where is this “coup” coming from, booby?

No job, no car, no family, no house, six figures of student debt, hates guns, hasn’t started shaving, never participated in any physical fitness activities, has aids, doesn’t wake up until noon to go to Starbucks and lives with aging parents on limited income.

This is the typical profile of the ‘coup army’ conscript.

L.A. Times backs into the headline.

You see, if Trump wins, there IS a chance of a coup - the military may arrest OBAMA immediately before he can flee to a muslim country. {;^)

Guess he hasn’t read the Military Times polls where 70+% of the military backs Trump.

Bring it on.

the author has received the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association Excellence in Student Journalism Award...

this slightly bloated, soft, pudgy little cupcake is another ivy league steaming log of emotional “what if” journalism... designed to titilate the lefties and scare people...

what scares me is that useless protoplasm has such a loud megaphone to spew NONSENSE...

i urge the author to stop manipulating his joystick while writing and stick to reality..
references to CONSTITUTIONAL LAW .... hey blimpie.... take a look at OBAMA’s regime and tell me
how many CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATIONS the obozo has committed.
HOW MANY TIMES HAS HE BEEN SLAPPED DOWN BY THE COURTS (when there is not a clintoon appointee)
and
HOW MANY EXECUTIVE ORDERS TRYINGTO CIRCUMVENT THE CONSTITUTIONAL SYSTEM AHS HE DONE...
HOW MANY TIMES HAS HE LIED...

where was your writing plume then chubby???????
all refernces to blimpie, chubby and bloated are references to HOT AIR not necessarily FAT.......HE IS FULL OF hot air.....

So the left would incite violence and sedition. Good. They make themselves a target to shut down and dismantle.

How cute. Liberal weenies getting a thrill by telling themselves a reworked version of the old "Reagan will start a war!!!". Just dust off the old stuff and insert 'Trump'

He’s angry at Russia for anti-LGBT laws and apparently taking it out on Donald Trump, probably because his wife is from the Eastern Bloc.

Somebody needs to calm down, a lot.

We’ve had anti-constitutional presidents. I don’t remember him speaking up. It isn’t unconstitutionality that scares them, but completely the opposite. Its the constitution that scares them.

Actually, this is just click-bait nutballery. The only people blabbing on about a coup are people who would never confront anyone without a cop nearby to protect them.
