Lawmakers and others are ‘secretly’ plotting a military mutiny if Trump is elected
American Thinker ^ | 14 Jan, 2024 | Andrea Widburg

Right now, it’s hypothetical but it’s pretty clear that they tend to overthrow the military in the event Trump returns as Commander-in-Chief.

Mutiny is on the menu should Trump win again. That’s according to an allegedly “secret” plan, that’s being widely trumpeted on NBC News, for the military to refuse to follow orders from Trump. Part of this is pre-election posturing, but part of this is entirely consistent with the post-Obama military, up to and including the execrable Mark “White Rage” Milley.

Section 2, Article II of the United States Constitution is extremely clear that the President calls the shots when it comes to the military:

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

There are no workarounds for this. There is no ambiguity. However, that isn’t stopping a cabal of lawmakers and others from trying to figure out how to stage a military coup should Trump be reelected:

…[B]racing for Trump’s potential return, a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers is quietly devising plans to try to foil any efforts to expand presidential power, which could include pressuring the military to cater to his political needs.

Those taking part in the effort told NBC News they are studying Trump’s past actions and 2024 policy positions

The problem is that the Taliban in Afghanistan are hopelessly out-gunned. The disparity in firepower is simply overwhelming.

I agree.
There is ZERO chance of any military mutiny in America.

It’s mostly coming from the O-6 level and above. If any of those mf’ers step out of line, then throw every single one of them in the brig. Strip them of their rank and give them a dishonorable discharge.

The military. And its going to happen soon.

You said that in 2021.

And 2022.

And 2023.

Now 2024.

President Trump is not a tyrant. For years you have attributed to him that he is one. President Trump will not participate in a military overthrow of the U.S.

The real insurrections and conspiracies are ignored. The fake ones, the media never misses a chance to bring up.

It should be obvious to anyone paying attention what is going on.

We are headed for the times that try the souls of men. Better get prayed up and close to the Lord for what’s coming in America. Things don’t look good.

The “real military” who remain will discover the joys of weaponized incompetence and malicious compliance.

First thing Trump should do is fire all the 4 star generals.
