Ex-Obama Official Suggests ‘Military Coup’ Against Trump
Breitbart ^ | 2 Feb 2017 | by AARON KLEIN

Posted on 02/02/2017 8:00:05 AM PST by Resettozero

In a blog post for Foreign Policy magazine, Rosa Brooks, a former Obama administration official, outlined four ways to “get rid” of President Trump, including declaring him mentally unfit for command or carrying out a military coup. Brooks is a Schwartz senior fellow at the New America Foundation, which is funded by billionaire George Soros’s Open Society Foundations. She served from 2009-2011 as Counselor to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and served as a senior adviser at Obama’s State Department.

Her posting is titled “3 Ways to Get Rid of President Trump Before 2020,” although the piece actually outlines four ways.

In what seems to be a deliberate tactic, Brooks repeatedly questions Trump’s mental stability, claiming that the president’s first week in office “has made it all too clear: Yes, he is as crazy as everyone feared.”

Brooks, who is not a mental health professional, offered no evidence for her armchair psychological evaluation other than citing policies that she doesn’t like.

Obviously, despite her time in DoD, she doesn’t know our military very well.

The stupidest thing about this all is that probably 90% of all officers in the military are Trump supporters.

The only hope the Dems have to get rid of him is if Trump dies, basically.

In which case Pence would become the the President. Not sure they would like that either.

I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before someone tries. Thankfully, most lefties are just far too incompetent to pull anything like that off.

I don’t know how many military officers support Trump, but I certainly hope that 100% support the constitution.

We have to question the sanity of all those inciting anarchy in our country.

In 2004 Brooks served as a foreign policy advisor to the John Kerry-John Edwards presidential campaign. Her resume also includes stints as special counsel to the president at George Soros’ Open Society Institute; consultant for Human Rights Watch; board member of Amnesty International USA; and senior advisor to Assistant Secretary Harold Koh at the U.S. State Department during the Bill Clinton administration.

In April 2009 Brooks called for an added measure of “direct government support for public media,” and for the federal government to take control of journalism by means of an industry-wide financial bailout for failing newspapers. She wrote:

“Proposing the violent overthrow of the government. And not in jail?”

Ditto. An example needs to be made of these idiots. Throw them in prison and let them REALLY learn what butt hurt means. Honestly - I’ve never seen so many people with so little power filled with so much arrogance.

Oswald (commie) and Leon Czolgosz (anarchist who assassinated McKinley) weren't. It only takes one deranged leftist to do it....

...[Soros funded] groups such as Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, Government Accountability Project, and the Project on Government Oversight. These organizations have formulated a plan for federal employees to take action when they believe that policies are either illegal or against their principles...

For normal American citizen patriots, no further comment is necessary.

For treasonous, seditious, mentally and psychologically-challenged, totally ignorant parasites and snowflakes of all ages, no effective useful comment is possible...

Well, security around the President is much tighter than when either of your examples happened. I’m not going to lose any sleep worrying about it.

“They want to fight? If so, let’s get it on, and get it over with.”

I think there are probably millions of American citizens who see it the same way.

Well, the left can forget about the military coup.

Indeed. If it was never planned or executed against the previous WH occupant, there's no way it will happen to the current.

Grab yourself a firearm, Brooks - as a lib, you know how easy it is to acquire one in the US - and head for the street to lead the coup. Hope to see you there.
