Troops line up outside the fenced-in White House as protesters begin to arrive in D.C. for George Floyd march that is set to attract one million people
Daily Mail ^ | June 6, 2020 | Frances Mulraney and Andrew Court

The nation's capital braced itself with members of the National Guard guarding famous landmarks and patrolling a new pedestrian-only demonstration area as streets were closed off.

The White House remained a fortress, with black fences between seven and nine feet high erected around its perimeter cutting off protesters, as D.C.'s mayor formally renamed the street outside 'Black Lives Matter Plaza'.

Streets were shut in downtown from 6am as the first of the dozens of demonstrations organized for the day began and the city's metro system announced it was reopening cars closed due to coronavirus to boost rider capacity.

Donald Trump is not “commander in chief of America”

He is commander in chief of the Army and the Navy.

Trust this, the WH gets burned, the amount of mourning and gnashing of teeth in the hoods will be epic, Saxon style.

I bet most of them have very nice jobs working for the federal government, so relax.

Getting hit with a 40 mm rubber bullet wouldn’t be any fun.

You are correct, of course. The ultimate near-term prize is a coup. The ultimate long-term goal is the Soviet States of America.

They are doing everything they can to tear down the country including all institutions, forms of government, voting, monuments...everything. They want no vestige of the USA left.

The prize is a military coup, and my analysis is that if they attack the White House with sufficient force, they get it, win or lose.

Why does your analysis lead you to that conclusion?

The JCS has gone squishy.

Dead white kids at the fence = military coup.

Burned White House = military coup.

Either way they win.

We saw it all in St Louis since my dad was a truckdriver and my aunt and uncle worked in E St Louis; there were awful places and any time of day you could see white kids going into places they shouldn’t to buy drugs, and no shortage of urchins sent to steal from the trucks, but there were also a lot of good people there, like Sylvester who was a trucker, too, but who had a big family there. He was a member of the Young Republicans and said if Republicans just grew a set and asked personally for their vote that there were enough who would to make a difference in the two-county region. We knew railroad agents that were black and lived there. There are a lot of patriotic people in East St Louis [yes, Beirut-on-the-Mississippi] and a good way to meet them was during the 4th of July fireworks because the view from that side of the river was great, and the troublemakers were on the St Louis side sneaking peeks in cars over there, so everyone could have a good time picnicking, oohing and ahing the fireworks, talking baseball, and sharing mosquito repellent. A lot endured living there in order to send their kids to private and parochial schools.

“ The ultimate near-term prize is a coup. The ultimate long-term goal is the Soviet States of America.“

The thing is, they cannot achieve USSA. They CAN achieve a coup.

The most likely outcome of a coup is prolonged instability. It’s easier to destroy that to build.

On the other hand, I had friends from Africa while in college who were terrified of driving in East St Louis and knew enough to run the red lights.

Okay.

I would suggest that the media is spinning any discussion/disagreement that GEN Milley had with President Trump to their advantage. I would want corroboration of what they are reporting.

Of course, there is no provision anywhere in the U.S. Constitution for a military coup, which obviously you know.

If that occurred, the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights would cease to be functional. A military coup cannot turn them on and off like a faucet.

In essence, the end of the United States as a constitutional republic would occur.

Just as the Israelites told the Prophet Samuel in the Old Testament: Give us a King. We want a King so we can be as other people. The people of the United States of America have more that indicated by their submission to and compliance without question to the Draconian measures so suddenly imposed upon them during the virus scam that prefer to be ruled, not led or Governed. But ruled by a fist of iron. Their grand parents, going back no father than the 1980s would not accepted what they so docilely today without murmur.

Tell it, Kit Cat.

We have friends who were not able to hold a funeral service for their family member....nor, see them in the hospital BEFORE they died.

And, one of my closest friend’s father (a 96 yo veteran) is in a nursing home, without being able to see family.

It’s disgusting. Folks should storm the churches, hospitals and nursing homes.

You are quite correct. Pres Trump is the commander in chief of the American Army and the American Navy. Pretty comprehensive for purposes of protecting the US from rioters and insurrectionists.
