Liberal journalist Hendrik Hertzberg courted controversy Sunday by bashing President Trump and openly questioning in a tweet: “Time for a military coup?” After a request for comment, the left-wing New Yorker magazine reporter weakly attempted to defend himself in a tweet, claiming he was being “sarcastic.” Hertzberg, a longtime political commentator and staff writer at the New Yorker, was a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War and later served as then-President Jimmy Carter’s chief White House speechwriter.

Two words: Secret Service - it's time for them to start publicly engaging treasonous traitors and walking them before the public in handcuffs and orange jumpsuits - ought to do the same thing to Adam Schiff who blamed the President for 50,000 American deaths... it's time to start throwing these traitors into prison!

Communist is as Communist does. It's funny how these clowns openly wish for a society that would lock them away for doing what they do freely in our society.

No, not sarcasm. The "S" word you were looking for is sedition.

Sarcasm and irony is best kept to those that know you, and can discern your subtleties, rather than the general public that do not know you, and do not know if you mean what you say, or not.

#3- Another “S” word comes to mind and that is “seed.” “Seed” in the sense of planting a “seed” to “germinate” into producing an action, especially by people with like-minded perspectives and/or simply weak-minded people who are easily led, as in easily duped.

They even try and the bloodshed will be huge. The military people I know would refuse orders that run against the President and/or the Constitution.
But, I have no doubt that some would do treason -- look at our treasonous FBI,CIA and DoJ under Obama.
Great way to kick off a civil war.

Unlike democrats, the military has honor. It is a concept the dems cannot even fathom let alone adopt. If they didn't stage a coup over Clinton or Obama, they certainly wouldn't on Trump. The military I served with under Clinton were ashamed to serve such a creep, and while most complained privately, they would not have tried open rebellion. I'm sure the guys in during Obama were the same.
These communists really have to quit painting everyone else with their own dirty brush.

It's more like a media coup than a military coup. The media is working over time to try to destroy our country. Instead of political ads we're viewing virus propaganda ads 24/7.

Nope. Won't happen. The men and women of the U.S. Military take their oaths seriously. they are people of honor.

How many people had the same thoughts about a coup against Obama, but said nothing? You don’t say those things against a Democrat.

A word of caution. Obama systematically ( and all too successfully) culled OUT the senior leadership (flag officers and in some cases even O-6s) whose honor and loyalty was first to the Constitution. Those remaining (and subsequently promoted ) had to pass POLITICAL muster FIRST. Don't be too sure a portion of their troops ( junior and field grade officers) wouldn't follow any and all orders. You'll need to pray that Senior NCOs would stand in the gap. Entirely too many troops answered the question "would you fire on American citizens if ordered to do so?" In the affirmative.
