WASHINGTON, D.C.—In what some are taking as an alarming sign, President Donald Trump was seen reading a book titled Military Coups for Dummies between rounds of golf. So far, Trump has refused to concede the election, and some are taking that book as a sign that Trump is planning something if the election isn’t certified in his favor.
The book Trump was reading is a helpful, step-by-step guide to gaining the favor of the military and using them to overthrow the current government, using illustrations and comics to emphasize a few key points in organizing a successful coup. It’s not one of the most successful books in the For Dummies series and sells much better overseas.
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany was quick to dismiss any concerns about it. “There is no need for Trump to organize a military coup,” McEnany told the press. “He won the election fair and square, and a count of all the legal votes will show that.”
Still, reporters pressed McEnany on why Trump would read such a book if he is not planning a coup. “He’s just a very curious person who reads a lot of different things, but it doesn’t mean he’s planning anything,” McEnany answered. “I mean, you saw him reading Harry Potter, but he didn’t try to become a wizard.” McEnany did admit that Trump had attempted afterward to make a Horcrux, though that “didn’t work out.”
Go here to read the rest. Well Bee throughout his Presidency there have been calls by members of the so-called Resistance to have the military step in and remove a duly elected President. The use of the military to remove Trump to resolve a Constitutional crisis has already been proposed by two retired Colonels. Go here to read their open letter. If the military should be foolish enough to get involved in this mess, it will not be Trump who calls them in to kill our Republic.

Asking for a friend.
Which is more dangerous to liberty, a military coup or massively fraudulent elections? Fair and free election WERE a cornerstone of the Republic. Very obviously/blatantly, no more..
Anyhow, there are means of resistance other than physical force. [From 1798 to present, Irish patriots deployed desultory physical force, which eventually wrested independence from the great Satan, England.]
I live in a very blue county in a very blue state. I should [family holds me] move to a red state. So, what to do? How does my oppressor obtain funds to pay the button men? It’s mainly sales taxes [real estate taxes pay for schools and village services]. So, I was planning to buy a new car – big sales tax bill. No more I’ll keep the old car and maintain. Bonus, my mechanic is a big time Trump man.
Put on your thinking caps.
