Yea so only an idiot at this point would think a coup did not occur. The whole point of a Coup is to not be apparent. I mean this is basic military science.

Your 'once feared' supremacy dint stop 9/11. It caused it.
And instead of a 'muslim brotherhood' infiltrating your government, you've let Putin take control. So much better.
Good luck 'Merica. You need luck more than bombs, that is for sure.
Once again, drunk, and I'm not worth listening to.

He fired a lot of strong, experienced officers then decimated the military personnel numbers and budget. I was an Army CPT (former Enlisted) during that time. Barely made my 20 years. I knew some that were forced out with 18 years, exceptional officers. Military is unique in that you either hit the 20 for the Army or no pension. Just brutal for someone so close who went on a couple deployments. The pensions are not even that good. Nothing like Congress or state pensions.
I would agree though, he purged the flag officers and inserted ones that would not question his actions and there was a lot to question. One can see the way Trump has been getting back stabbed for trying to change those policies and get out of these forever wars. Hard to believe we are still in Afghanistan. Senseless waste of lives and resources.

Wow, so a guy being sworn in on the Constitution is a coup. Amazing deduction.
And Barack Obama as president, replaced more than 6,000 members of the 8,000-member SES during his two terms, assembling what became a stay-behind army of political operatives…2
So how pervasive is the SES?
Here’s a list of the number of SES employees that were embedded in the following government agencies at the end of Obama’s 2nd term in 2016:
Department of Education – 86
Department of Housing & Urban Development – 115
Department of the Air Force – 182
Department of Labor – 200
Department of State – 204
Department of Transportation – 231
Department of Interior – 258
Department of the Army – 261
Department of the Navy – 326
Department of Veterans Affairs – 357
Department of Agriculture – 361
Department of Commerce – 425
Department of the Treasury – 458
Department of Health & Human Services – 468
Department of Defense – 478
Department of Energy – 490
Department of Homeland Security – 639
Department of Justice – 821
All Other Agencies (all non-Cabinet level agencies) – 1,796
And it wasn’t just a purge of patriots from governmental agencies…
Obama’s purge of the military was especially damaging to our national security, as he literally gutted the command structure of the U.S. military.
Not to mention the demoralization of the ranks due to his policies of radical political correctness.
In all, Obama’s patriot purge included 9 Senior Commanding Generals, 2 Nuclear Commanders, 197 high ranking Senior, General and Flag Officers, along with thousands of non-commissioned officers…
With perhaps the most glaring example being the firings of U.S. Army General Carter Ham and Rear Admiral Chuck Gaouette…

This is what's known as the genetic fallacy, or fallacy of origins. Basically, you don't have the intellectual capacity to actually address the subject matter, so you cry about the source.
Pete the Purple Unicorn is going to take over the government, I read it in a National Enquirer article, address that please.

Can you show an example of a coup that was not apparent? My understanding of the word in relation to government normally relates to violent overthrowing of a government. Which seems less than subtle.
Perhaps we are not using the same definition of 'coup'
coup d'état
The sudden overthrow of a government by a usually small group of persons in or previously in positions of authority.
The sudden overthrow of a government, differing from a revolution by being carried out by a small group of people who replace only the leading figures.
Mike Harris, Financial Editor for Veterans Today, rejoins the program to discuss the clear and present danger the very real planned military coup represents. We discuss what is behind this coup and why it is so dangerous to our republic. We also discuss the Continuity of Government plans that are in place and, if implemented, what that truly will mean to the United States. Lastly, he stresses the need to be ready and prepared with your family for anything that may come.

There's a lot more in the OP and the article linked within the OP than what you took issue with.
