I'm afraid you are right. Even Dem House Speaker Jeffries said there is nothing we can do: They have the House, the Senate the Executive branch and the Supreme Court. All we can do now is send us into default on the debt by not agreeing to their bill to raise the debt ceiling. That will hurt not only the GOP but us as well. I hope the military isn't pro Trump.

We can rally, call our Dem Senators and House members, and protest at the Reps district offices and raise Holy Hell!

Exactly! GET LOUD! Get in their faces and DEMAND action!! February 17th is going to be a national day of protest, people are going to be confronting their congressional reps by phone, text and email, many are going to their LOCAL places of government to protest Trump ignoring the law, Musk's illegal and dangerous activity and more. EVERY ONE OF US has a duty to RESIST the coup and FIGHT BACK!!!

Yea? I don't have any R political reps. If I try to contact one, they ask for my zip code and if it's not in their district they hang up on me. Our Dem politicians are in the minority and the R's don't give a damn about the rule of law. We can NOT do this the old fashioned way. Civil war is the only way this is going to change.

Yes, Reps only deal directly with their constituents, so my comment was in part directed to people like myself who live in a Felon47 red state. I still make noise by clogging their phone lines to protest their actions, I will be at the state house on the 17th with a resist sign and my voice. You can also use your social media, post on their social media, write a letter to your paper to galvanize others, and pressure your Democrat reps to SHUT the GOVERNMENT DOWN until the coup attempt is stopped. Go to Sons of Liberty media sites on FB, IG, YouTube, or whatever social media you find comfortable. They have brilliant content, and have been actively organizing protests and providing information on how to get in the fight. But yes, if Felon47 and his handler Muskrat try to ingnore the courts and continue to perform illegal actions, then yes, WE THE PEOPLE are the last defense, and it will be necessary to rebel. I am ready, as a veteran, I swore an Oath to defend our Constitution against all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC. I intend to uphold my oath.

The military is like the rest of us; part republican, part democrat, and part apathetic. A lot of low income people go into the military to further their education and get a job with benefits. If they actually see that tRump is taking that away from them and trying to get us in a war, they might get wise to him.

ItтАЩs not the soldiers who decide which side to attack. What side are the leaders on? Will the lower level officers obey the generals? They have been very quiet. I donтАЩt know if that is ominous or it signals impotence, paralysis. I suspect weтАЩll find out within 10 days or so. Maybe within hours. Perhaps they are making a list and checking it twice, and theyтАЩre not Santa.

Soldiers DO have to decide whether to uphold their Oath and refuse to carry out illegal orders. I am a veteran and know how I will respond.

Some of those generals are hold-overs from Trump's 1st term and are very much with him. We can only hope the enlisted men and women will be willing to disobey any orders from their superiors that are in conflict with the oath they all took when signing up.

I do too. I donтАЩt see how they could be. Capt. Bone Spurs, Arlington, slurs, those alone should have pissed them off.
