    No, but Trump just recalled all the generals to make them watch a rambling speech where he said he’s gonna deploy them to do whatever to protestors, bring back battleships, and use the military against “enemies within America”

        Here’s to hoping they’re not agreeing with him. Our true blessing is that he flew them around the world in a dog and pony show and had his chief alcoholic insult most of them a few times before he got on stage, so even if they agree with the idea, they won’t like his actions.

          We’re not going to see a liberal coup in America.

          I dunno. They can write some pretty angry letters.

          No, but theres now a nonzero chance there’s a Military coup against Trump,

          the vast majority of the people in that Quantico gathering, are probably keenly aware that America is already more or less locked into a state of conflict with Russia and China, the war is already on and its just getting more kinetic as the months pass.

          and then this coked out fuckwit brings them all together just to tell them he wants them to take their eyes off Americas actual enemies, the Russian Mafia State, the CCP, Iran, North Korea, etc. and to divide their attention to help stomp on what is essentially culture war enemies of the conservatives.

          when you’re already in the opening stages of WW3, Your enemies arent liberals or conservatives, educated and intelligent people especially those who are senior officers in the military dont think along those lines. this is just a radical civilian government asking the warfighting people to point their guns trained on the Russians and Chinese, and turn them around and point them at political opponents.

          Trump’s gang is essentially trying to do what Putin did in the 90s, and I dont think anyone in the command of the military is keen to actually put a Molotov to the country, unlike the Sycophants who all they do is talk to cameras and shitpost on twitter all day.

      Every other military in the world would celebrate if the US decided to burn hundreds of billions of defence dollars on battleships in 2025.
