    ‘Military coup’ wins poll of troops in a landslide

    ‘Military coup’ wins poll of troops in a landslide

    Tis the season for polls, and this one is encouraging. Thank the gods for those who serve in the Armed Forces.

    A poll of active duty and recently retired members of the armed services suggests that an overwhelming majority would prefer an armed overthrow of the government rather than see the election of either major party candidate. The poll was conducted by Quinnipiac University in the days following the Democratic convention.

    When asked whom they would vote for during the 2016 campaign, 78% of servicemembers picked “other.” Nearly all then chose “military coup” from a list of options that also included Joe Biden, Ted Cruz, Jill Stein and “a massive earthquake that wipes out life in North America.”


    When retired Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis was included on the list, he was the most popular write in. However most of those who selected him also called for him to lead the armed rebellion against the United States government.


    Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson came in a distant 3rd, but still far ahead of Republican candidate Donald Trump or Democrat Hillary Clinton, or any other option that didn’t involve the possibility of civil war.

    So a handful of conservative cry babies are going to start a lil' revolution.

    Who else saw the same kind of thing in 2008? They just need a burping and new diapers -- and maybe a lesson that we can't always get a trophy when we lose.

    What's the difference between a violent revolution to get what you want and protests to get what you want. I'd hate to think it's about race.

    People who think a movie about plastic dolls is trying to turn their kids gay or trans are now officially known as

    Barbie Q’s
