It's been a VERY busy 24 hours for Trump as he packs the DOD with loyalists.

In the last 24 hours, the Secretary of Defense (SecDef), the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy (USD-P), and the Under Secretary of Defense for Intell (OUSD-I) have been sacked. Trump loyalist now sit in the 1, 3, and 4 slots at DOD. Kash Patel is DOD Chief of Staff. Why?

to put down riots with invocation of the insurrection act.

now over a dozen loyalists to trump installed at the DOD according to Nicole Wallace.

I think Trump and the republicans are going to try a coup. Arrest Joe Biden on some charge or other... declare the election results invalid. Act as if Trump was "elected".

Does he have any idea how many people will not accept that at all?

We democrats are not pushovers and we won't cower to an authoritarian bully.

We have over 76-million people who voted for Biden/Harris and that will not sit well at all.

Maybe he wants to cause a ruckus. If so, then bring it on. We are going to make the transition whether he likes it or not. There are going to be a lot of pissed off people from all walks of life and we won't be accepting a coup. There are many scenarios one can consider as a response.
