Our Republic Is Under Attack From the President

To save some breath to our right-wing regulars, this is just some worthless opinion from another Deep State traitor.

If you are behind a paywall, you can also read about it here.

They [military branches, intelligence agencies, and public-service organizations] have seen our leaders stand beside despots and strongmen, preferring their government narrative to our own ... They have seen us abandon our allies and have heard the shouts of betrayal from the battlefield. As I stood on the parade field at Fort Bragg, one retired four-star general, grabbed my arm, shook me and shouted, 'I don't like the Democrats, but Trump is destroying the Republic!'
...
If our promises are meaningless, how will our allies ever trust us? If we can't have faith in our nation's principles, why would the men and women of this nation join the military ... And if they don't join, who will protect us? If we are not the champions of the good and the right, then who will follow us? And if no one follows us — where will the world end up?

I bet you're right, some lunatic-fringe rightard will call a retired Admiral "deep state". Hell, Trump is liable to call him a traitor.

He is a traitor. It is traitorous to question Trump. This man is an obvious extreme left wing socialist traitor.

That's right. Only Trump can restore the nation to it's former rightful glory. Only Trump can defend the nation from the enemies within.
Trump IS America

It's no use, you are casting pearls before swine.

I wonder why I'm even on this forum, there are so many dumb ass brain dead right wingers it's a complete waste of time, I must be a masochist (not all of them but there are enough of them)

IKR! The Liberals are staying away from this one because it sounds like McRaven is calling for a coup to overthrow the government.
 
This thread has set a new record for sarcasm :lamo

Having said that I'd just like to point out that (according to Donald Jr.) Slavister is Hillary Clinton's brother-in-law's dog-sitters ex boyfriend. So obviously he's deep state. He would have already received the Seth Rich treatment but the operatives in charge of 'accidents' are currently trying to spring all Giuliani's friends from prison.

Thanks, but the 'liberal media' is all over it. Denouncing trump is not an attempted 'coup'. The crickets are the trumplets who can't denounce a warrior and a patriot without sounding like hypocrites.

Trump is not America and his people are about to find that out.

What a stupid thing to say.
 
As I've said previously, we've screwed the Kurds before, but I think this will probably be the last time.

McRaven is calling for a coup when he said Trump should be "removed". Any member of the service that would make the comment he made, after swearing an oath to support and defend The Constitution, is a piece of ****.

"COUP"

You keep using that word. But I do not think it means what you think it means

Are you even able to define the word?

Well then obviously Mike Pence needs to be arrested. He'd be the one who benefited from a coup. Or do you think Trump would be replaced by a Democrat?
Damn, some of you guys just looove to pretend the USA is a hopelessly corrupt ****hole country, dontcha. Stockpile ammunition, that day you've promised yourself was coming is right around the corner.

What a bizarre, dystopian fantasy life you guys lead.

It seems McRaven is advocating the use of the Constitutional remedies.

Using the law is the exact opposite of a coup. (fwiw&fyi)

Are you willing to share the evidence you have seen that McRaven is advocating something sudden, violent and illegal?
 
I encourage every member of this forum to call their Congressperson and demand the impeachment of Trump! Get it done, so the Senate can begin his trial.

Where did he say "impeach", or voted out?

Is that the extent of your evidence that McRaven is calling for something sudden, violent, and illegal?

Or do you have more?

WTF? If abraham lincoln came back to life and said trump is jeopardizing america you folks on the right would call him a hater too.

Sounds to me like the right will try its best to make up any excuse to dismiss reality. Any excuse.

You have no argument because nowhere did he say he wants Trump forcibly removed.

Nor did he mention impeachmentn or the ballot box. You have no argument to defend him with. There are troops in uniform, some are deployed. It's bad for morale for former general officers to make public comments like this. McRaven knows better. He's a piece of **** for doing so.
