3. y'all do remember Benghazi in September 2012 which was designed to get Romney elected

Trump has a campaign office in Israel that opened a couple of weeks ago, and casino owner Adelson is their biggest supporter and donor. These attacks are designed to generate the m,aximum amount of fear to elect NAZI Trump. And the very first thing he's gonna do is suspend the Constitution to he can you know" fight terrorism" Pay attention

Trump's First Month

Friday Jan. 27, 2017 An army group says it has taken over the country, with soldiers at strategic points and jets flying low in the capital. Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are reportedly blocked amid talk of an attempted coup. Coup is easily put down within hours.

Saturday Jan. 28, 2017 Authorities are denying movements on to and off of all Air Bases. The power has also been cut. Arrest warrants for 140 Federal Court judges and 48 members of Congress. Authorities also relieved 2,745 judges and 3530 prosecutors of duty.

Tuesday Jan. 31, 2017 Courts ordered 85 generals and admirals jailed pending trial over their roles in a failed coup attempt. Dozens of others were still being questioned.

Wednesday Feb. 1, 2017 Banned academics from work trips abroad and urged those overseas to quickly return home. Purge to root out supporters of XYZ, whom Trump accuses of orchestrating the attempted coup. Tens of thousands of teachers were fired and all the country’s university deans were told they faced suspension. The licenses of 21,000 staff working in private schools were revoked, more than 15,000 employees at the Department of Education were sacked, and the Department of Education demanded the resignation of 1,577 university deans.

Thursday Feb. 2, 2017 Suspended the Convention on Human Rights as he implements a three-month State of Emergency

Saturday Feb. 4, 2017 Closure of thousands of private schools, charities and other institutions. The first decree signed by Trump authorizes the closure of 1,043 private schools, 1,229 charities and foundations, 19 trade unions, 15 universities and 35 medical institutions over suspected links to the XYZ movement. Extended to a maximum of 30 days from four days the period in which some suspects can be detained.

Friday Feb. 24, 2017 Began freeing 238,000 prisoners to make space for tens of thousands of suspects rounded up over last month's attempted coup. Also ordered the dismissal of 12,360 more police officers and more than 2100 military personnel.

7. That's waaaay too paranoid, Stardust Mirror

[Stardust Mirror]

13. please don't write me off as troublemaker I am willing to have my tin hat adjusted

DU is one of my favorite news sources. I never bothered signing up to comment cause somebody would always say what I was thinking in the comments. I agree with so much of what I read here and am not here to find disagreements or start arguments.

I did read in the DU TOS that conspiracy stuff wasn't welcome here; I wasn't saying Trump was cooking up a plan like that, I was just trying a thought experiment to see what ideas people may have about it.

Underthematrix suggested that the first thing Trumpanzee would do if elected was suspend the constitution. I tried imagining the steps. Granted I've no practice (or apparently, ability) as a fiction writer. Used what actually happened in Turkey two months ago as a framework.

Thanks for understanding.

12. paranoid OK but that's what just happened in Turkey2 months ago

Turkey July 2016 most of the verbiage in my post was copied verbatim from DU news articles about the coup (boosted a few of the numbers).

It probably is too paranoid in that Trumpelthinskin isn't capable of doing anything but tweeting and there are too many in the military and the citizenry that wouldn't let it get off the ground.

He does have a history of vindicativey going after those who criticize him.

10. Suspends the Constitution....?

11. Trump only knows lizard brains because that's what he has.

[baldguy]

14. Trump says the bombing shows America is weak. He's right.

The fear, hatred and bigotry, the the continuous harassment Muslims have been subjected to resulting from it - and which are the centerpiece of Trumps presidential campaign - is nothing but weakness.

[Shoalbiz]

15. It's worse than weakness,

it plays right into the terrorists' narrative that it's "us against the West."

[Rocknrule]

17. All it takes

is someone like Trump or Bush saying "BROWN PEOPLE BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA" and Republicans turn their drawers into a fudge factory
