They won't back down just because there used to be a star on someone's shoulder board.
And anyone who does back down shouldn't be in politics.

Kelly in charge of the White House is a bad sign to me. Is Trump getting ready for a power play?

But they may be the only ones trump will listen to. They may be the only ones who can contain him and the nuclear codes.

About a planned military coup of the United States. With a "christianized" military, it's not too crazy to ponder. Is anything too crazy to ponder now?

These generals understand the cost of war. I hold out hope that if Trump does try to start a serious war they would block him as they would understand what that war would really mean.

The generals seem to be the only adults to be seen in the White House.

So let me say, normally objectionable but given the types of people Trump has been putting in other positions, I am OK with this
