Victor Davis Hanson: Please --- stop the coup porn
2021-12-24
[JEWISHWORLDREVIEW] In a recent Washington Post op-ed, three retired generals, Paul Eaton, Antonio Taguba, and Steven Anderson warn of a supposedly impending coup should Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
be elected in 2024.The column seemed strangely timed to coincide with a storm of recent Democratic talking points that a re-elected Trump, or even a Republican sweep of the 2022 midterms, would spell a virtual end of democracy.

Ironies abound.

#9  Once upon a time, a country's intelligence service was ranked by how many Polish spies they had. They were the best. Maybe the day will come where the US military is dominated by imported foreign generals who really know what's at stake when you lose.

#8  Snakes in the open. I had a friend that worked directly for BG Anderson. Anderson is a nobody. A nobody that got caught and fired for leaking information after he retired. Taguba is another nobody who it appears was fired by the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army (Gen Cody) for leaking information. Anderson and Taguba are clear failures trying to assuage their wounded pride.

Snakes that you don't see still exist. Have you ever noticed that the Army four star officer inventory historically...and currently...is predominantly composed of Officers north of the Mason/Dixon line? I was arrogantly informed by a senior staffer from the Senate Armed Services Committee that this was by design and a legacy policy dating to post Civil War concerns...and of course the Army four star selection process ensures this "policy" continues...the four stars gather and select the next four star nom for the President's approval. They are products of their liberal upbringing, enjoying the fruits of politics early with their political appointments to West Point. And guess what?...the result...many imagine themselves to be, um, political geniuses.

#5  A sterile lot. Failures all. Living off of others as adults sponging off of spouse, governments or parents. This crop of failures will eventually die off but as with any virus others become infected and the plague curse lives on. Good years, bad years but always there.

#2  Stupid. The Democrats are not the hard left. The actual hard left loathes the Democrats. See: http://hexbear.net for actual hard left discourse.

#1  I'm pretty certain that any real coup plotters ARE NOT talking to the internet about it. I think it's all FBI agents trying to sweep up people they can parade in front the cameras.
