Should there be a military response against the Trump administration?

[milestogo]

By the US military, I mean.

1. He should be paraded out of office, down Penn. Avenue. Isn't that what he's wanted?!

[leftieNanner]

2. Ooh Yeah!

In one of those wooden carts drawn by an ass.

[triron]

5. Sounds good.

[soothsayer]

6. I guess he can pull his own cart, then!

[leftieNanner]

8. LOL

An ass in the front and an ass in the back.

I'm picturing a Marie Antoinette kinda parade...............

With an appropriate (ahem) ending.

[soothsayer]

13. Ha! I'll picture Escher

3. My first thought was no

But after some thought, I think Fuck No is a better answer.

[pdxflyboy]

4. Definitely NO military coup, please. n/t

[Caliman73]

7. Not if we want to keep our democracy.

If we go down the road of the military getting involved in political issues it isn't something that can be undone. Once you go there one time, what is to stop it from happening over and over.

We need to settle this through the political process.

9. No. Unless you like military coups.

and you want to mimic:

Afghanistan, Chile, Brazil, Cambocia, China, Iraq, Iran, etc.

Using the military to topple a leader is just as dangerous as Trump using the military to quiet protesters. It is not appropriate to use the military to address any domestic dispute.

11. Sometimes it seems like we're already living under a coup.

10. Tanks on the White House lawn?

I remember wondering if that might be the only way to stop the impending invasion of Iraq. Hindsight anyone?

I suppose much would depend on how much you trust the military to give up power and return to normal once the crisis has passed.

Generally not recommended.

12. Let's stay grounded in the real world, shall we?

That’s the kind of talk one hears from the Qanon cult...

[SiliconValley_Dem]

14. ludicrous post

[Baked Potato]

15. Yes, they should vote the MFer out. No need to get soiled by him.

[mercuryblues]

16. No I prefer the military

to stay out of politics.

The retired military is speaking up just fine.
