If we're gonna have a coup, let's have it by the JCS. On top of the table. Wearing uniforms.
Some guys we have a reasonable basis to trust.
I could go for that, but they gotta relinquish back to civilian leaderdership after a few adjustments:
1) Mandantory and full vetting of all Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates. If you were not born ON AMERICAN SOIL to TWO AMERICAN PARENTS, you lose.
2) Disbanding or severely curtailing: The EPA, the DHS, the TSA, the DOE, and restrict the FCC to broadcast-only decisions.
3) The IRS would have a permanent oversight branch dedicated to keeping it honest.
4) The DOJ would have a permanent oversight branch dedicated to preventing partisan prosecutions and selective law enforcement.
5) The NSA would answer directly to Congress on its day to day activities. All domestic-citizen records immediately purged, heavy prison time for any employee who collects ANYTHING about ANY private citizen, including Islamic terrorist types. We have other ways to deal with them.
