    I was kinda hoping that they would have done that coup today and put those two on trial for being enemies of the constitution. The military swears an oath to the constitution and those two knuckleheads were directing the generals to do unconstitutional shit. I’m pretty sure this coup scenario would be better than what is going on currently

      It’s much to early to talk about a coup. But when Trump really wants the US military to act against US citizens, I don’t think that’s an order the military can possibly obey. I think that will be coup time.

      I can’t believe we’re seriously talking about this.

        I agree with your assessment. They all had a chance to speak with each other at this meeting, and I’ll bet at least some of them started to talk about worst-case scenarios.

        They won’t act spontaneously, it will be in response to a seriously illegal demand.

      There are 300 million of us lmao you just gotta convince people to remove their representation and replace it with someone competent. Im sure the generals probably believe its not their duty or place and also fear to consequences of turning the USA into a military rule for even a second. It’s time to stop praying to a higher power for a miracle and start removing your congress people from office. They can’t hide from their voters for ever.

          I mean voting is good: we just need to remove the rot and start voting again with a clean slate. We don’t have fair access to voting anymore.
