Great article, and wittily written; didn’t surprise me that among his other accomplishments the author is a “former stand-up comic” ;-)

Trump’s victory speech promises that Attorney General Chris Christie’s first job will be to investigate and prosecute Pantsuit von Pervenabler and President Faily McWorsethanCarter.

THAT is funny.

He is not incompetent, he is the enemy, and the constitution is not a suicide pact.

My advice: Study the history of the Spanish Civil War

Good idea, But do not neglect a study of the very intense four months of the Finnish civil bloodletting that took place following an attempted coup by treaty to force the people of Finland into the Soviet Union. Four months later, about one percent of the nation's population was dead...and their situation and character was MUCH more like ours than that of Franco's Falange or the Republican Popular Front of Spain.

and get to know your neighborhood's friendly retired Eighteen Bravo.

Again, I agree. But do not overlook the Eighteen-Charlies [18-Crazy] your local 74 Delta, or Eleven Educated/11E/aka 19-Kilo, all useful negotiating skills in stressful times.

That's dumb. You have to kill ALL the boy children lest they grow up seeking vendetta.

Perfect. She admits it and life goes on. Now we can understand how it happened.

I’ve always considered him both the enemy AND incompetent. How much worse would this all have been if those animals really had their S together?

I am so tired of living with a bowling ball gnawing at the inside of my stomach.

Given the challenges of trying to get concerned citizens to amass for large Tea Party protests, its hard to imagine many Americans getting up off the couch, turning off the TV, or foregoing a night at a restaurant to resist a coup. Just sayin...

Obama is capable of any nefarious scheme you can think of. If he plans a coup he will do his homework surely enlisting help from our enemies. It will not be a military one for sure and they are in fact the one segment of society we have to put it down. Hopefully their intelligence is good and they are out front. I can’t see a coup but with this joker in the WH you can never be sure.

I don’t think anyone could pull off a coup in the US so long as there are 300 million guns in private hands. Literally millions of armed Americans would step forward to stop it.

Around about Thanksgiving time every year, the largest armed force on the planet takes to fields and forests across this country with a unified intent. They plan to kill deer. This armed force, (or infantry) combined, is the largest actively armed force on the planet. There is no doubt, at least the founders idea of civil resources to defend against enemies foreign and domestic is still in full effect.

When I go deer hunting, whether bow or gun, I always also pack a side arm. I imagine many others do to. This is only relevant to point out, Deer hunters ARE in fact armed like soldiers.

Or you declare martial law and ‘suspend’ everything.

Yes, all in the name of protecting us and “ensuring national stability in this time of great crisis”. All temporary measures, of course. /sarc

Yes but most people don't have more that a few thousand rounds of ammo if that

Per weapon or gross? I think you might under estimate the affect of most people having only a few thousand rounds of ammo.

Your gut is very accurate.

It is amazing that some folks still believe an oath to God means something. Sure as hell just is is a passing phrase for those inside the beltway.

...what makes you think he would suddenly become competent enough to pull off that kind of sophisticated scheme....

Is this writer really unaware of the fact that Obamugabe is merely a puppet in the Soros production?

He’s not interested in a coup, he is a progressive. His goal was just to move the football further down the field for his team. Imagine his surprise when after the kickoff he was able to run it almost all the way unopposed, the only thing in our favor being that he tripped on his shoestrings a few times.

Who in the military and federal, state and local law enforcement would follow him? No one.
