To be fair, many of the fired people still have a lot of contacts in the military, as well as soldiers more loyal to them than Trump. It would be unconstitutional at this point for them to reach out and form a force capable of accomplishing this, but the constitution doesn’t seem to matter now…
Lol. This is truly pathetic and brined I your own solipsism. Those soldiers aren’t smart. They’re bound to follow their binkies. Stop overestimating the citizenry.
Exactly what I've hoped for weeks! I'd like the military to arrest all the Insurrectionists in the White House and hold new elections, watched over by both military and civilian citizens to insure accuracy! Yeah; never thought I'd dream of a military coup in America! But, here I am!
Alas it’s not that simple. If we use the military to remove him we will still have lost our democracy in favor of a military junta. Governments controlled by the military aren’t generally better. We NEED to arrange for impeachment. The best the military can do is REFUSE to obey illegal commands.
Well, no. The military doesn't set itself up as the governing body. It merely carries out the orders to remove the offender(s). The problem is then setting up a provisional democratic government to restore the rule of law. The tricky part is who.
I think that assertion is historically far too naive. Can you give me examples where a country’s modern military acted unilaterally to remove the civilian leadership and NOT descend into a junta?
February 2011, Egyptian Forces seized power from Hosni Mubarak. It was a democratic coup. Earlier, Turkey 1960 and Portugal 1974. The goal was to return power to democratic leaders. It could happen swiftly in the U.S. because the authoritarian regime is not fully entrenched.
Trump has not followed through on any order given. Ans when Marshalls have been involed, such as in the numerous times DOGE has been refused access, Bondi tells them to not comply.
AMEN!
Abuse of power and illegal overreach of Article II powers should qualify as enough of a misdemeanor, but there's also his failure under Article II to "take care that the laws are followed," so dereliction of duty.
Is there NO spine left ANYWHERE in Congress to HONOR THEIR OATH?
We will have to wait until someone is given an unlawful order.
If Trump declares a national emergency or attempts to declare martial law, we will see whose side the military is on.
Start with him. I'm sure the prisons in the USA could stand to release anyone who's there because they couldn't afford to pay a parking fine so that Trump and his ilk could fit inside.
White collar criminals are the worst, because they're the ones who don't recognise human beings as people.

Unfortunately, everyone that would do it has been fired, so I'm not going to hold my breath 😕 😑
Oath
This only ends two ways.
I am going to copy this and send to all the republican and democrat leaders.

Do you have examples contrary?
Maybe the one stopping the recent deportation. But probably not since it came after planes left us.
(mumble, mumble) there are no examples (mumble, mumble)
