Left-wing insurrectionists are brazenly calling for a military coup to oust Donald Trump.
From Breitbart:
In a blog post for Foreign Policy magazine, Rosa Brooks, a former Obama administration official, outlined four ways to "get rid" of President Trump, including declaring him mentally unfit for command or carrying out a military coup. Brooks is a Schwartz senior fellow at the New America Foundation, which is funded by billionaire George Soros's Open Society Foundations. She served from 2009-2011 as Counselor to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and served as a senior adviser at Obama's State Department.Brooks' name showed up in Podesta's emails. An email from 2015 shows she was having dinner with John Podesta and George Soros and was sending Podesta propaganda articles she wrote praising Hillary Clinton.
Her posting is titled "3 Ways to Get Rid of President Trump Before 2020," although the piece actually outlines four ways.
In what seems to be a deliberate tactic, Brooks repeatedly questions Trump's mental stability, claiming that the president's first week in office "has made it all too clear: Yes, he is as crazy as everyone feared."
Brooks, who is not a mental health professional, offered no evidence for her armchair psychological evaluation other than citing policies that she doesn't like.
Remember those optimistic pre-inauguration fantasies? I cherished them, too. You know: "Once he's president, I'm sure he'll realize it doesn't really make sense to withdraw from all those treaties." "Once he's president, surely he'll understand that he needs to stop tweeting out those random insults." "Once he's president, he'll have to put aside that ridiculous campaign braggadocio about building a wall along the Mexican border." And so on.
Nope. In his first week in office, Trump has made it eminently clear that he meant every loopy, appalling word -- and then some.
Brooks listed four ways to get rid of a "crummy" president.
Regarding her suggested military coup, a creative Brooks proposes preposterous scenarios that she fears Trump might try to play out:
- Elect him out of office after his four-year term. "But after such a catastrophic first week, four years seems like a long time to wait," she wrote.
- Impeachment. However, she lamented, "impeachments take time: months, if not longer -- even with an enthusiastic Congress. And when you have a lunatic controlling the nuclear codes, even a few months seems like a perilously long time to wait."
- Utilizing a claim of mental instability to invoke the 25th Amendment of the Constitution, which sets the path for the commander-in-chief's removal if the "president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office."
- A military coup. She writes: "The fourth 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."
What would top U.S. military leaders do if given an order that struck them as not merely ill-advised, but dangerously unhinged? An order that wasn't along the lines of "Prepare a plan to invade Iraq if Congress authorizes it based on questionable intelligence," but "Prepare to invade Mexico tomorrow!" or "Start rounding up Muslim Americans and sending them to Guantánamo!" or "I'm going to teach China a lesson -- with nukes!"
Obama’s fools.
Ten to one We The People are doing just that :-)

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.
I personally think she should be arrested and prosecuted for insurrection. What she is doing is beyond the legal boundaries for protest and free speech. She is clearly fomenting violence.
Nice contribution to the thread.
Unless fagbois are majority... won’t happen ;^)
Yep, when they call Trump mental, they have three fingers pointed back at themselves. You can always tell what the accuser is, by what they accuse you of, its usually their problem.
He is giving money to 501C4 organizations. Payback is a bitch, maybe the IRS should review some of those applications and audit a few of the approved organizations to see if they are complying with the 40% social work mandate.
“Soros-Connected Ex-Obama Official Floats ‘Military Coup’
The traitorous whore will get a military coup alright - against the fascist federal bureaucracy.
Sarah Silverman could do all of the propaganda ads..?
so true.
They love to play the victim.
Now you can see why they wanted to fill the military with homosexuals and transgenders and the infantry with women to do their bidding.
A RICO prosecution for conspiracy to plan and begin an insurrection against the government by a militar coup would egage Soros as well and would end a lot of this crap.
“........why didn’t we think of these ideas when Obama was President?”......
Because we are civilized, intelligent people who want Trump to make America great again and we agree to give him time to succeed. The left to the contrary, will do what ever it takes short of murder to eliminate Trump and, I wouldn’t put murder past them either. The are sick people who need an attitude adjustment.
