Trump is a Russian asset, a mob money launderer installed by his mob whoremasters to sow chaos and weaken the US & our allies.
EVERY SINGLE THING HES DONE since taking office is to achieve those purposesthat and to enrich himself personally.

1/ His entire family is part of this. Melania is a fucking crook. Ivanka is a fucking crook. Junior and Gums are fucking crooks. They will all die in prison, except for Kushner, who, if he really *did* trade US intel for money, should be executed for espionage.

2/ Why do you think Trump installs uniquely corrupt & awful people to Cabinet positions? Pruitt, Zinke, Betsy, Rex/Pompeo, Wilbur "Melting Nazi Face" Ross. They are not there to serve us. They are not there to drain the swamp. They are there to BURN THE REPUBLIC DOWN.

3/ Trump steals. He takes taxpayer moneyyour money and mineand lines his pockets with it. He exploits his office to make himself richer. This is all he cares about. Why are Republican citizens, you fiscal conservatives, not more angry about this? Riddle me THAT, #MAGA.

4/ Matt Whitaker, the human dildo and acting AG, was illegally installed to throw a monkey wrench in the Mueller investigation. Thats why they wont release his financials. Hes fucking bought and sold. Hes going to prison for obstruction.

5/ Kavanaugh was rammed through for similar purposes. Hes compromised, there to rubber-stamp Trumps autocratic BS, and he should be impeached and removed as soon as Nadler gets the gavel.
We never did find out where he got all his money:

6/ Sessions met with Russians multiple times in his role as Trump surrogate and lied about it under oath. Fuck that racist Keebler elf, too.
Also Pence. Fuck Mike Pence. Jesus doesn't love you, Mike. He draws the line at you.

7/ We enjoy mocking Roger Stone, but he is the godfather of ratfuckery. He was careless this time & it will cost him. Hes getting indicted any day now, & he will go to prison w/ his ex-partner Manafort, & hes old, so hell fucking die there. Stone in jail is good for America.

8/ TRUMP AND KUSHNER ALLOWED THEIR SAUDI BENEFACTOR TO BRUTALLY ASSASSINATE A US RESIDENT WHO WROTE FOR THE WASHINGTON POST. Not because of oil. Not because of US policy. Because MbS gave them money.

You think Im being hyperbolic? You think Im using strong words I dont really mean? Bullshit. The Trumps, all of them, are traitors. They are ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE. And to paraphrase Robert Plant, their time is gonna come. SOON.
WE SHALL PREVAIL.

Melania needs to have her citizenship revoked (it was fraudulently obtained) and shipped back to Slovenia to live off whatever a past-their-expiry date glamour model's take is these days.
Ivanka needs life in a SuperMax, along with the other spawn and Orange Daddy.

(10,749 posts)But after two years in office it is very clear that the trump election and presidency was and is an attack on the U.S. It is no less an attack than if bombs had been dropped and an invasion force landed. Entire government agencies are being decimated and policies imposed that undo decades and decades of laws, rules, and regulations intended for the most part to make this a better nation.
This twitter thread spells it out. Leave out the expletives and a little more detail and it should be an op-Ed in The Times. We need to stop dancing around this. Yes, hes an appalling person and an idiot. But look st the damage caused. Its what a foreign power would do to undermine a nation. Its what our own people are doing.

(67,819 posts)Lots of recs. The rant is righteous. Recs are cheers.
Contrast that to when some of us call it treason and all the legal pedantics come by and explain, so calm and rationally, that it's not. Treason requires a state of war. Yadas followed by more yadas.
Here is where most people I know are right now, perfectly well summed up in the thread:
malaise
(269,187 posts)Lock them all up!
Hermit-The-Prog
(33,447 posts)The U.S. Constitution, the supreme law of the land, defines treason:
Article III
Section 3.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/articleiii#section3
Note that "or" in the first sentence.
The confusion seems to spring from that 2nd paragraph. Congress has declared the punishment for treason, but in so doing, restricted it to acts that take place during hostilities that are under the rules of war. The Constitutional definition of treason is broader than the one encompassed by U.S. Code so far.
There is no U.S. Code that declares punishment for treason committed without such hostilities. It is up to Congress to define punishment for treason that occurs outside 'war'.
Good luck getting that punishment defined by Congress, upheld in SCOTUS, and finding someone willing to try to charge and prosecute it. Easier to pursue criminal charges with well established precedents.

...eyes--in real time. Absolutley frkn unbeleivable! The writers of the consititution did not foresee the level of corruption, criminality that odious traitor has wrought on this country and they certainly never considered that members congress [gop] would sit on their laurels--they are complicit..why? Perhaps kompromat has caused them to be complacent.
The first two paragraphs of post says it all. For over two years DUers have pretty much echoed same. Every day brings another revelation of podrida hombre [rotten man] occupying our WH --he IS a threat to our national security.
