    as i said people are clueless. pay attention to how people are actually behaving. most frontline individuals are either dutifully following orders or quitting. the idea that the military will refuse trump is absolutely not couched in reality.

      If your point is that this mechanism won’t work, then I’m assuming your point is that nothing can stop Trump.

      Doesn’t mean my answer was wrong or clueless, only that the means to stop him has failed.

      If you think something else is stopping him, I’d be very curious what that might be.

        You have a mioptic view of the universe of options. Expecting the established systems that have literally failed at every opportunity to somehow put a check on trump is fool hardy.

        If you want him stopped you will have to stop him.

          Well, let’s see.

          It won’t be his moral fiber.

          It won’t be China or Russia the only two military powers that have a chance to have any influence on CONUS affairs.

          Maybe his desperate desire for public approval as I suspect major ordinance dropped on a US population center isn’t going to poll well, but I’d hate to count on that.

          Me? Stop the president from doing literally anything? You vastly over estimate my powers.
