Trial balloon for a coup
This is making the rounds...

"That is to say, the administration is testing the extent to which the DHS (and other executive agencies) can act and ignore orders from the other branches of government. This is as serious as it can possibly get: all of the arguments about whether order X or Y is unconstitutional mean nothing if elements of the government are executing them and the courts are being ignored."

Re: Trial balloon for a coup
WAS JUST COMING TO POST THIS.
This. Is. Terrifying. Hard stop.
And anyone trying to defend this ridiculousness needs to read this. Even DHS objected to the ban! COME THE **** ON PEOPLE.

Trial balloon for a coup
I saw this this morning too on FB.
I am beside myself. He's making us powerless to stop this. I didn't know the definition of a kleptocracy until 3 minutes ago.
This is scarier than I ever imagined.

Re: Trial balloon for a coup
I saw it on Twitter and was going to share too. Am tempted to tweet it to my rep and senators. Terrifying.

I literally feel sick. I can't believe how people do not see this. It's clear as day.

Re: Trial balloon for a coup
Does GOP already have a plan to dump trump?
Doesn't sound super appealing but I'll take it over the complete coup described.

Re: Trial balloon for a coup
The source looks a bit dodgy, but I'd like to think the GOP are being quiet for a reason. I can only hope that they have a plan in the works.
Something. Anything.

I never realized that this could happen- from the inside. Why didn't I?? 
I said this on day 6 or 7, that a military coup is the only way to get rid of this mess. The rights of the people shall not be infringed.
What's ironic? Sad? Funny? Tragic? : Most of the people who have guns and will take up arms against Tyranny are........... you guessed it: Conservatives. Digest that for a moment.

This is the part that makes me laugh the most about all these so-called "patriots". Remember when they were convinced Obama would instill marshall law and come after all the guns? How did that work out for them? Good thing they have all the guns, they're going to need them.
