Obama Pentagon Official Says Anti-Trump Military Coup Now Possible Says Trump ‘as crazy as everyone feared’; claims military overthrow and ‘an insane order’ both ‘frightening’
By Carlo Muñoz - February 2, 2017.
A former Defense Department official under the Obama administration has raised the specter of a military coup to remove President Donald Trump from power.
In an editorial penned for Foreign Policy, senior Pentagon policy official Rosa Brooks publicly suggested a military insurrection against the Trump administration may be the only option to oust one of the most divisive presidents in American history.
“Donald Trump’s first week as president has made it all too clear: Yes, he is as crazy as everyone feared,” Ms. Brooks wrote. “[One] 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.”
For the first time in her career in public service, including three years as senior counselor to the Pentagon’s policy chief from 2009 to 2011, “I can imagine plausible scenarios in which senior military officials might simply tell the president: ‘No, sir. We’re not doing that.’”
Ms. Brooks‘ editorial comes as a recent poll by Public Policy Polling group found that 40 percent of registered voters support Mr. Trump’s impeachment. In addition, 52 percent of voters polled said they would rather have President Obama in the Oval Office, opposed to the 43 percent who support the Trump presidency.
In the editorial, Ms. Brooks noted that Mr. Trump’s “thin-skinned, erratic, and unconstrained” approach to defense matters of defense could put top U.S. military leaders in a position where they would be forced to execute orders that may be “dangerously unhinged” from a basic understanding of national security.

This bitch should be sentenced to five-to-ten at hard labor in Leavenworth for this.
40% are in favor of his impeachment? That’s low. There are at least 42% nuts out there.
But, I don’t see this ending peacefully. When the patriots get enough and start protesting the protesters martial law may be necessary.
And don’t for a minute believe the republican party backs Trump. I haven’t heard one republican condemn all the protests.
The shadow government aims to take over one way or another......
More SOROS contamination! That’s in the foulest and nastiest reaches of “The Swamp”....DRAIN IT ANYWAY!!!!
it and continued reading it says “She is married to Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Mouer,[21] an Army Special Forces officer. Here is his twitter

and I get the feeling he is not a fan of the President’s either
We really do need protest the protesters. What about the bikers for Trump folkes. Thier organization would be a good place to start the resistance to the resistance.
Treason...and for her, hanging.
I have told my wife that over and over again for the past year.
I’ve seen that clip a fair amount around FR. WHO is that??? What’s the context? It looks like it could be Taylor Swift or Jennifer Lawrence, but probably not.
“She is married to Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Mouer, an Army Special Forces officer.”
That’s interesting.....
The day we witness a palace coup in The White House, the Left’s dream of reducing this nation to a third-world banana republic will be complete.
Great point. The Left, at all levels, has been consistently exhibiting “barking moonbat” levels of lunacy since November 8.
Ah! Associated with George Soros!
I don’t know the context, but you are right that it’s Jennifer Lawrence.

We’ve got NO major beef with Russia right now.
He assassinates reporters and internal enemies. I dont give a ####.
The Clintons killed more probably.
If he tries and grabs an Eastern European NATO country, that’ different.
Reagan gave everything to free those people so I dont agree as much as others around here that it’s not our business.
But I think Putin has his access to the Black Sea in Crimea and he won’t go any further.
If he does, then we revisit the situation.
Muslims are a threat to us all. As are liberals.
Not this shit again!
It's worse than that.
ALL of the top Officers in the Pentagon, and many at the next level down are Obama LGBTQWETYXYZ pervert appointees. Why Trump has not already demanded their resignations is a total mystery to me.
That ticking time bomb to the security of the Republic should be excised ASAP.
