Left-wing insurrectionists are brazenly calling for a military coup to oust Donald Trump.
From Breitbart:
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.Brooks' name showed up in Podesta's emails. An email from 2015 shows she was having dinner with John Podesta and George Soros and was sending Podesta propaganda articles she wrote praising Hillary Clinton.
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.
Remember those optimistic pre-inauguration fantasies? I cherished them, too. You know: "Once he's president, I'm sure he'll realize it doesn't really make sense to withdraw from all those treaties." "Once he's president, surely he'll understand that he needs to stop tweeting out those random insults." "Once he's president, he'll have to put aside that ridiculous campaign braggadocio about building a wall along the Mexican border." And so on.
Nope. In his first week in office, Trump has made it eminently clear that he meant every loopy, appalling word -- and then some.
Brooks listed four ways to get rid of a "crummy" president.
Regarding her suggested military coup, a creative Brooks proposes preposterous scenarios that she fears Trump might try to play out:
- Elect him out of office after his four-year term. "But after such a catastrophic first week, four years seems like a long time to wait," she wrote.
- Impeachment. However, she lamented, "impeachments take time: months, if not longer -- even with an enthusiastic Congress. And when you have a lunatic controlling the nuclear codes, even a few months seems like a perilously long time to wait."
- Utilizing a claim of mental instability to invoke the 25th Amendment of the Constitution, which sets the path for the commander-in-chief's removal if the "president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office."
- A military coup. She writes: "The fourth possibility is one that until recently I would have said was unthinkable in the United States of America: a military coup, or at least a refusal by military leaders to obey certain orders."
What would top U.S. military leaders do if given an order that struck them as not merely ill-advised, but dangerously unhinged? An order that wasn't along the lines of "Prepare a plan to invade Iraq if Congress authorizes it based on questionable intelligence," but "Prepare to invade Mexico tomorrow!" or "Start rounding up Muslim Americans and sending them to Guantánamo!" or "I'm going to teach China a lesson -- with nukes!"
Attention delusional Leftist scum, IF you actually decide to go down this road understand something: Democrats will be come #1 on the Endangered Species list.
One way to get rid of Trump is to “Elect him out of office after his four-year term.”
Wow! Nothing like thinking outside of the box. A real rebel.
Re Soros, he must’ve committed hundreds of major crimes over the years, especially when you consider that most of what he does involves crossing state lines. Why is he as free as a bird? DJT has GOT to have one of the alphabet agencies take care of this problem.
I don’t recall ever hearing an ex-Bush official who was Counselor to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and served as a senior adviser at Obama’s State Department making these kinds of statements, do you?
Furthermore, I never heard a single person except for a very infrequent crank say that all elections would be stopped and that Obama would never leave office.
I don’t think you can make an equivalence of what we are seeing now with the increasing unhinged left, with anything of that scope and level on the right in the last eight years.
And I say that with the conviction that we had far more reason to justifiably believe the last President and his administration were domestic enemies of this country.
She forgot the default option to every plan - Do nothing.
Just wait 8 years and he’ll go away. HA!
+1.
just because you have a pedigree does not mean you are smart
I don’t remember seeing them in print and in the news regarding Obummer.
In the dead of night, Soros must be arrested and taken immediately to a waiting jet and under an extradition order, flown to Moscow.
There is an international warrant for the arrest of George Soros announced by Vladimir Putin of Russia.
I can make an equivalence that there are crazies on both sides - and I did. That much is unassailable.
as another FR’er has noted, there are more sabouteurs or financiers of sabouteurs than SorosNazi, but WHEN OH WHEN is someone in responsible position gonna do something to shut the Sorosnazi saboutage machine down once and for all?!!!!!
Hasn’t he done enough damage to people and nations already?
Gotta put his money in a Soros Victims’ Compensation Fund!
to help repair some of the damage he’s inflicted on so many people...(and this will cut off his kids from carrying on his evil crusade for another 50 years, too!)
If RICO and other existing laws of the US were applied justly, GS would already be sitting in a cell, but he isn't. His influence has metastasized on both sides of the aisle in DC and the civil service, the media, NGOs/thinktanks… no one in the US will lay a hand on him now. He's safe here.
Hungary hasn't hooked him; Russia hasn't gotten him; Israel has proven unwilling or unable to put the cuffs on him; all the other places he has screwed up either can't or won't jug him (with or without US help). Why?
He's not a problem to the "right people" who are running things. They either work with him or for him.
Mr. niteowl77
It’s time to arrest this senile old bastard and extradite him back to Russia or Hungary. Let them string him up.
Not a shot at you, however the right did not become unhinged the way the left has, and that is unassailable, indisputable.
Arrest her for conspiracy and do it NOW.
What’s really stunning is to find out that Obama’s clique really thought and thinks that the military was supporting him and his horrible policies. LMFAO. How can anyone be so out of touch? Oh, wait, they live in the looking glass and believe all they say and think we do too.
Rosa..... NEWSFLASH.... the “military” LOVES THE DONALD
unlike the disdain and contempt shown by the brown clown and spouse...
Looks like Rosa is just another libtard mouthing off with stupid comments to fet attention and funding fron the nazi jewboy georgi schwartz aks soros...
trump better take this subversive commie (soros) down before he harms the useful idiots rioting at his behest... and before they harm citizens exercising thier constitutional rights to free speech...
I hate to say it, but in the small section I work in, there is plenty of support for idiotic Obama policies and a lot of fear about Trump. (6 mil, 5 civ; 2 Trump supporters, 6 Trump haters. Of the 3 remaining, I'd say 1 is occasionally conservative.) It's a small sample and hopefully not representative.
Arrest the rioters and sign the Whitehouse Petition to take away their money guy, George $oreA$$:
