We're clearly under attack, which has been compared to Pear Harbor and 911... I totally agree with that comparison and the Traitor-in-Chief is the "pilot" of the whole treasonous operation.

This is the treason statute 18 USC, section 2381:

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States


Note especially the last clause of the statute. In a sense violation of this statute amounts to a self executing impeachment (and conviction) when applied to a president.

They are out in force (MSNBC, CNN, Faux (of course), even NPR on my drive in)...all saying the same rough thing..."Not treason and to claim so is really over the top hyperbole, etc."

FUCK THAT!

What the orange shit gibbon did was TREASONOUS - he provided material comfort and support to an actual adversary of the United States of America and he also cast doubt upon officers of the same. THAT is TREASON.

The penalty for treason is death by hanging.
I volunteer to administer justice to the accused after his trial and conviction, without a second's hesitation...

some of us aren't stupid and ignorant. We know what is going on. The media in this case is not helping.

This is something that should not swept under the rug. The repigs in Congress this is on them too. They took kickbacks and money, and I don't care if they were threatened if they were. Or will they be teaching the Russian language in schools now. Or instead of Spanish and English, Russian translations will be adopted too.
