A military coup would be a terrible thing, unfortunately today, in the the hands of of a morally insane and in the majority destructively venal and corrupt Congress and a cohort of Judges who refuse to speak out — leaving Obama to hold office many months more could be the destruction of all. What would he do in a tragic event — major terror attack, a nuke? An unstable man in such a position is a mortal risk to everyone on Earth. Should we wait for the military coup against him when he gives an angry order to launch nukes?
