For most of the last three years, Donald Trump's critics have scoffed at supposed "conspiracy theories" that claimed a "deep state" of bureaucrats were aborting the Trump presidency. We have been told the word "coup" is hyperbole that reveals the paranoid minds of Trump supporters.
Yet oddly, many people brag that they are proud members of a deep state and occasionally boast about the idea of a coup.
Recently, former acting CIA chief John McLaughlin proclaimed in a public forum, "Thank God for the deep state." Former CIA director John Brennan agreed and praised the "deep state people" for their opposition to Trump.
Far from denying the danger of an unelected careerist bureaucracy that seeks to overturn presidential policies, New York Times columnists have praised its efforts to nullify the Trump agenda.
On the first day of the impeachment inquiry, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff called his initial two witnesses, career State Department diplomats William Taylor Jr. and George Kent. Far from providing damning evidence of criminal presidential behavior, Taylor and Kent mostly confined themselves to three topics: their own sterling resumes, their lack of any firsthand knowledge of incriminating Trump action, and their poorly hidden disgust with the manner and substance of Trump's foreign policy.

They think we are all stupid because we allowed them to install an ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia for eight years in violation of the Constitution.
Anyone born with more than ONE nationality is NOT NATURALLY an American.
The Constitutional Republic was over on Usurpation Day January 20, 2009 when BOTH parties abrogated the Constitution by swearing in a man who was NOT a natural born citizen.
By definition (if language is still important in this country), it isn't a coup. Look up the meaning in any dictionary. Words and phrases have meanings. A coup has a very specific set of criteria and this just isn't it because it's not sudden and it isn't violent (which is required by most definitions).
What we really have here are sedition and treason.
As Rush and others have pointed out: what we have here is an impeachment of our votes for Trump in 2016. The Uniparty is trying to invalidated our election of POTUS by any means possible. It’s that simple.
What we have is clear sedition and treason, not a coup. The fact that it hasn't happened in a matter of days but over a period of years is what separates the two.
Valkyrie was a coup (attempt). This is treason and sedition on a wide scale.
Victor David has taken the place of all my former writer/journalists/thinkers.
At one time I actually liked reading George Will, Ann Coulter, and certainly almost everything, the late Charles K. wrote.
Yes, even Peggy Noonan had things to say about our country that were poignant and insightful.
When Victor David Hanson comes on TV or if an article is posted here, I pause, just like all the Kansas City Royals team mates would pause to watch Bo Jackson come to the plate.
Second part fits like a glove, except the word 'small'. This coup is huge.

How can there be a “boardroom coup” then if violence is a required component?
Coup (def) - a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics especially: the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group
Sedition: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority
Treason: the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign's family
Now go back to thinking RBG is still dead.
Because that is slang and not a real definition. Good grief.
What we really have here is a failure to communicate.
Too many boiled eggs I think
It is a deep state coup and meets the definition of the word(s) coup d’etat. Pinheads like you are ridiculous...
Yeah - I don't need your advice on the dictionary when you can't even grasp reality. Thanks.
They are failing at it miserably. The economy is growing, national security is improving, the President is actually doing the things he said he'd do, the President's popularity and his party's political fundraising are rising...
About now, as we see the 'rat candidates thrashing around in disarray, it has to be sinking in among the power players that even with massive, unprecedented election fraud they are almost certainly going to lose, again, in 2020.
I believe the impeachment BS is in fact an indication that they have put their alternative plans in motion, acknowledging their coming loss in 2020. They don't really expect to be successful in impeaching the President on trumped up and fabricated charges. They are laying the groundwork, the public justification, for removing the President - one way or another.
I wish I could say it is far-fetched. Maybe it is. But I believe there is a plan somewhere that after the sudden, illegal, and violent removal of the President their plan is to say "We're sorry, but for the good of the Country we felt we had to take action to remove this corrupt...blah blah blah." That is why there are all these outlandish charges and characterizations being floated publicly. That is why Muller ground along for years collecting BS, why the "inquiry" (aka inquisition) is accepting 2nd and even 4th hand "testimony." It is all to put a publicly (if not legally) justified face on their next actions.
Hopefully I'm wrong, I probably am. But we've seen the Clintons, obamas, Holders et. al. demonstrate they are above the law and consider themselves above the law. They and their ilk probably think they could pull it off. We'll see. If we make it 6 months into President Trump's 2nd term without an actual coup attempt I'll believe I'm wrong. Until then...
No Coup,,,
Okay,
Great,
Glad we cleared
That Up.
Thanks.
Such a blatant power play may be hard to get 2/3 of the Senate to go along with. More likely, I think, is that they would coerce Pence into nominating someone they like (since he or she would have to get a majority vote in the House as well as in the Senate to be confirmed)--maybe some NeverTrumper ex-senator or ex-governor like Chuck Hagel, someone who would be easy to beat in 2020 after they remove Pence.
Great post with Punchable Clown Face in there. BUMP!
Many criminals never stop unless incarcerated or eliminated. Witness history. Witness current event. Criminal State ALERT!
