National Review confirms "startling" report on Trumps grasp of reality.

LOL... Let us know when you understand the difference in controls on battlefield versus stateside.. good lord...
LOL. Goal post shifting noted. Get back to us when you can explain how Mohammed Alshamrani got past the supposedly impervious safeguards that exist only in your imagination.
 
If Jan 6 is any indication, it’s a safe bet should a coup occur.


If the redneck raiders of January 6th are the A or B team then it would appear all we need to do is post their pictures on facebook and their neighbors, friends, and even family will rat them out in a heartbeat. That is followed by the tearful arrest video as their ass is dragged out of their home headed to federal custody...

Where did he get the firearms? From the armory?

That’s assuming that a Federal government as you know it survives the coup. Congress could have been wiped out on the 6th if it were a real coup. The only thing standing in the way were some chonky officers who were either easily overpowered, fled their duty, or stood aside in minutes. Come to think of it, it almost does look like a test run to see what kind of resistance would be encountered at the Capitol in the event of a coup.

Let's assume this fantasy happened tomorrow... Then what? Trump goes on TV and declares he is the new president while Biden is deploying US law enforcement to eliminate the coup participants?

You also had a president who it seems wouldn't let the the national guard be called out. Doubt that would happen this time.
 
The issue isn't whether Trump is delusional. The issue is whether the reports about him are factual or not.

Nobody knows.
So what do you think about a man who thinks he won an election that was completely not what actually happened? And now almost 6 months later still believes that?

He was able to smuggle a glock 45 through your imaginary safeguards. So did Nidal Hasan. So did G. Romero - who used his service weapon. Etc.

You sure? Because Lt. Gen. Charles Flynn’s position hasn’t changed. The weak willed won’t do anything about him or his brother for that matter.
 
I think that's a big mistake. It's like saying you don't support Hitler because he began having delusions about winning the war. As if without the delusions, the agenda was ok. Republicans have a terrible agenda for plutocracy in the US basically forever, and especially since Reagan.
I much prefer Ike and Roosevelt over Reagan.

Trump enjoys broad support among law enforcement. I wouldn’t count on Barney Fife to save the Republic. Especially after you’ve defunded them. :)

Did he get a pardon? And which position didn't change - the one where he said a coup should happen here, or the one where he said a coup shouldn't happen here?
 
SO, Trump will be speaking at an event Saturday night. No dought he will be expected to address this issue. I doubt if he avoids it like Biden and Harris avoid issues that they cannot handle.

LOL... Those are not safeguards I am speaking of... All that military hardware in your imaginary coup is very, very tightly controlled...

Lt Gen. Charles Flynn is the brother of Lt Gen. Michael Flynn and the man responsible for delaying the national guard response.
 
Lieutenant General is out in the world openly calling for a coup.
He swears he wasn't. And if you call a hayseed Q conference "the world," okay. But actually, it was to THE WORLD that he denounced a coup up and down.

think about the fact that his brother is the man responsible for delaying national guard response on January 6.
I entered the room after the call began and departed prior to the call ending, as I believed a decision was imminent from (then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy) and I needed to be in my office to assist in executing the decision," Flynn said in a statement released to CNN. There was no clear answer about how long Flynn was on the call or whether he contributed to the conversation....
There is no indication that Charles Flynn agrees with his brother, who was a vocal adherent of disputing President Joe Biden's victory on behalf of the former president....
Charles Flynn, a three-star general who has already been approved by Congress for a fourth star. Flynn is responsible for operations, plans and training, but he is not part of the chain of command of the DC National Guard, and he does not have the authority to deploy troops.




Biden was so concerned that Trump loyalists within the government and its agencies were such a threat to his personal safety that his secret service detail had to be reshuffled to reassign anyone perceived to be a Trump supporter.
Considering bullshit some T**** supporters are spewing, does it surprise you? Probably those agents that were reassigned were insulted that he thought their political lean would interfere with protecting the POTUS with their lives, but in fact, Biden asked for agents he knew and trusted from his days as Vice President. There is nothing unusual in new Presidents asking for some reassignments, either. To say he was afraid for his life is more fantasizing the importance and power of your merry band.

Federal law enforcement is the law enforcement the president would be using...

Not really and you can’t count on such a thing in a coup.
 
Thats traditionally what political parties have done over the years, keep the real whackjobs away from power. Obviously, the GOP has failed.
And how!

I don't think your side has guys on the inside any longer who will have the National Guard stand down, which is why "they" only faced "chonky" officers.

Sorry - missed the Charles. I'm sure he's being observed and would be stopped if he tried to interfere.
