Military Component of Trump Coup Attempt

[MountainRaven]

I love that the Trump-lovers have elevated roasting the President to treason.

Like... I would trust McRaven or Mattis with my life and the lives of my loved ones.

I wouldn't trust Trump with a moldy ham sandwich; First he'd eat it, then he'd deny having eaten it, then he'd say that it was a horrible sandwich and why would anyone eat it in the first place because it was obviously moldy and he'd never eat a moldy sandwich, then say that it was my fault for leaving it there without expressly telling him not to eat it, proclaim next that I was happy that he'd eaten it, agree to buy me a new sandwich (and never do so), and then he'd finally settle on it being part of a conspiracy to oust him from the White House - and besides, Obama/Biden/Clinton/Warren would have eaten that moldy sandwich, too. At least until it comes up again, when he'd make up some other shit about it.

But, hey, at least there hasn't been a dull moment since he was elected.

Maybe that should tell you how bad the president is when you have all sides hating him.

Mattis and McRaven are both retired military flag officers. There is only one side there, the endless war side.

Both know better than to undermine a President. It undermines the trust of the people that the military will stay out of politics and remain under civilian control. This is so much bigger than one President and sets a terrible example of insubordination all the way down the chain.

Mattis and McRaven are also part of the swamp. War is a huge money making industrial complex. Huge contracts with ridiculously inflated costs. The kurds are no different than the south Vietnamese or the montagnards. Political promises don't mean shit.

Well, one of President Trump’s campaign promises was to get us out the endless quagmire wars.

I have a question for the Trump basher's on the forum.

Do you consider socialism/communism a bad thing or not?

[Alex V]

These things really makes me feel uneasy. Just how far are they willing to go and how much are “We The People” willing to do in order to stop them?

I don't care if he is an Admiral or not. I don't care if he is a frickin Field Marshal. If he is a part of the coup, and he is, he is a TRAITOR. Traitors should be arrested, tried, and HUNG on the White House steps. And there are a lot of traitors to hang.

Lexington Steel is HUNG. Traitors hey HANGED. Just sayin’

So you think this guy.....



Would wanna keep the Forever War BS going?

I don’t. And unlike Mattis or McRaven he literally could have led an armed overthrow of the US.

Both Mattis and McRaven are retired guys no longer in the seat and so far are just talking mess.

Again, not at ALL on the Trump train, but whatever good these men may have done is being smeared by their partisanship.

The president says that he has the support of "the military, the police, and bikers" to perpetuate him in office.

Rich americans get all the socialism they want. Farmers, bankers, manufacturers, sports team owners, tech companies, defense contractors. Bailouts, contracts, subsidies, tax cuts, price supports. They just don't want the rest of us to have any socialism.

Marx for them, Adam Smith for us.

Using this country's immense intelligence apparatus and the nation's "premier" Federal law enforcement agency to spy on a political opponent is unheard of. It should also be 110% unacceptable to EVERYONE on here, whether you like Trump or not. "Soft coup" is probably a more accurate term than an actual coup, but those of you denying that this crap took place are being delusional (again, whether you actually like Trump or not).

I despised Obama. Like really really hated that mother****r. Same with Clinton (yes, I'm old enough to remember all that quite well). But I have to be honest: if there had been evidence of the internal spying taking place against them that we see/saw with Trump I'd reluctantly have to agree that it was completely un-American and shouldn't fly. That kind of BS makes us a First-World banana republic. How some of you can sit there and stick your heads in the sand and/or be blinded by sheer hatred of Trump and therefore deny it happened is beyond me.

You still don't have to like Trump, I don't give a damn. I *mostly* like him and will certainly vote for him next year, especially given the far-Lefty socialists running on the other side. That said, c'mon people......your denial doesn't mean it didn't happen. Before you spout off about how it was all made up and it's not what it appeared to be, you know deep inside that what took place was shady as hell and should NEVER occur here.




Having said all that, I'm all for getting dirty and f*****g over the next Dem POTUS at every turn, telling the 51% of the country that their vote doesn't count because I don't like it, lying like a rug, making shit up to get warrants, imprisoning their subordinates to milk dirt on them. Turnabout is fair play so I say get as un-American as possible the next time a Dem POS sits in the Oval Office. They have it coming. I support that COMPLETELY. However, I'll at least have a modicum of integrity and quietly admit it is shady and dirty, even un-American, but payback is a bitch.
