Three observations:

Generals have spent their whole life following orders.

I think the generals will despise our current group of politicians of both parties more than they will Trump.

Generals don’t always agree.

[ptsal]

Hopefully, President Trump has assembled a team that can contemplate and defend against this treat to the office of president.

Time for the Democrats, RINOS, and Deep Staters to get over it. Donald Trump is President.

[Always A Marine]

Seven Days in May is playing out in front of us, but in today's real life it's the generals who must defend the Constitution and our duly elected president from Deep State's seditious and treasonous plotters.

[thoughtomator]

The generals indicate that Trump understands a war is on.

[chris37]

Yes, and Trump has more troops than he may currently realize.

[reasonisfaith]

The greatest power Trump has is military power.

With it he can defeat all enemies, foreign and domestic.

[grey_whiskers]

Trump is securing his political flanks and rear areas before going on a sh!tstorm offensive.

[batterycommander]

Trump needs to put a general in the State department and maybe a couple of companies of Marines, to change the atmosphere over there. Maybe the Libs will defenestrate the building.

[MrEdd]

At this point both a peaceful coup and a coup with the fighting combined to a few thousand people are both off the table.

[LS]

Another reason I don’t think McMaster will be going anywhere.

He was the bete noir of the Pentagon political generals.

[madprof98]

Are the generals in Obama’s social-justice PC military really trustworthy?

[JohnnyP]

Trump is preparing to fianchetto his bishop!?

Isn't this the tranny ex SEAL?

[Cementjungle]

I follow Assange on Twitter, and my assessment is that he's pretty out of the loop these days on some things. Clearly he hates Hillary, and has lots of material he likes to remind the world about. When it comes to things related to Trump or inner working of the Trump presidency, he's pretty much relying on guesswork and reading things on the Internet.

Assange seems to be spending more and more of his time just trying to stay "relevant" and keep his name out there.

[Nifster]

Maybe true

Either way Trump needs to fire McMaster as if yesterday

[Red Steel]

Yeah Trump is starting to put together a war battle staff.

[silverleaf]

why in God’s name is anyone talking a “coup” in the United States of America?

3.5 years to go and we hold another election

[CivilWarBrewing]

I trust Gen. Kelly and Mattis 100%, but smarmy deep state hack McMaster has got to go. I'm not sure about Dunford.

BTW, Hillary managed to get the rape charge against Assange dropped in exchange for him not spilling the beans about Seth Rich's murder so I don't think he's the least bit neutral anymore.

A coup is already well in progress. Congress has delivered a veto-proof bill to the President that requires him to get congressional authorization to alter or remove any terms of the sanctions against Russia, Iran and North Korea. We now have Congress in charge of our foreign policy. That’s subordinating powers of the Executive branch to the Legislative branch.

Linda Graham is working on bipartisan legislation that will make it illegal for the President to fire a special counsel without judicial oversight. I expect it will pass. That’s subordinating powers of the Executive branch to the Judicial branch.

Trying to build a firewall against a coup may be like closing the barn door after the horses have escaped. We’ll see.
