So, the business about Esper...

[Chainfire]

Step one on a path to a Trump Coup? "I really won the race and military troops are going to insure my continuing in office?"

Or just as simple a, "You went against me and I am dumping you because I can?" Is anything really outside the ability of our crazy President to attempt? When you have nothing left to lose, you become very dangerous. At this point, Trump is dangerous.

It is time for the damn Republicans to either reign him in or share responsibility for his actions.

Earlier today there was a thread on forgiving and working with the Republicans. Hell no, if they continue to support him actively or passively, they should know they will be held responsible for any illegal actions he may attempt.

1. Granted, this is a coup d'ipshit

But you always win a prize when you pick the pettiest reason possible for Trump doing anything he does.

2. Love the "coup d'ipshit"! Keep 'em coming!

3. Esper all-but-telegraphed it in his exit interview

And why would a lame dick president (damn spellcheck) be firing his Defense Sec. with only 70 days to go in his administration?

He's got Big Plans.

4. Maybe Esper refused

to bomb Philadelphia.

5. You are absolutely correct

Trump is very dangerous. And it is Not time to make friends with his treasonous enablers.
