They knew Trump's attempted coup was underway.


A chilling revelation from the wise and informed Fiona Hill, Trump’s former Russia advisor. Now we know exactly why all the living former Secretaries of Defense suddenly called on the military to refrain from political involvement. They knew Trump’s attempted coup was underway...

Thank God for the former Secretaries of Defense & everyone who made sure this didn’t occur. This is a good reminder that, for Donald Trump & anyone who assisted in an attempt to overthrow the United States Government - i.e.
@HawleyMO
&
@tedcruz
- there needs to be repercussions.

the Beer Hall Putsch, failed, too. There’s a cheerful thought.

This isn’t over. The more serious and committed crazies will be driven ‘underground’, become more sophisticated in their planning and will try again. If they can’t actually instigate a coup, they’ll turn more and more to assassination, bombings and other terrorism.

People like Rupert Murdoch, Rush Limbaugh, Koch brothers, et al have radicalized a sizable portion of Americans that the rest of America will have to deal with for decades. (If we don’t end up with a fascist dictatorship, that is. & )
