Bolton: Trump asked Xi for Chinas help in 2020 reelection.
He also has asked for Russias help, along with extorted Ukraines help and probably a whole lot more help.

(6,928 posts)But the word "traitor" applies to someone who sides with the enemy in a declared war, foreign or domestic.
He's a betrayer (a person who is not loyal to the country or to another person, often doing something harmful such as giving information to an enemy: betrayers of the nation's interests) to the Constitution, an unindicted criminal in a plot to defraud the federal election-funding statute (caught on tape with Michael Cohen who serves a 3-year sentence in prison), and so many other cases (obstruction of Justice in the Mueller Report Tome 2).
Probably also hiding crimes in his tax returns in both federal & state declarations (NY)
A alleged felon "elected" to the highest office of the land since 3.5 years!
The system is broken.
Lock him up.

(14,896 posts)Who ever heard of strengthening the United States by dismantling our strategic alliances? The rush to dismantle NATO comes immediately to mind. Demented Donnie unilaterally withdrew the military from Syria. He has weakened our relationships with South Korea, Japan and other allies.
How about his response to COVID-19? He ignored the experts and their warnings, dismantled the pandemic response team, and did all he could to deny hospitals needed equipment. To this day, there is still no coordinated federal response nor strategy to stop the pandemic.
And what does he talk about with Putin? That guys KGB Old School.

(14,896 posts)She revealed Barrs mendacity when asked if the White House had requested DoJ investigate political opponents. Sen. Harris will get my vote and if Joe Biden asks her to serve as his veep, Ill do all that I can to get them elected.
The senator knows the Demented Deer in the Headlights demeanor when facing pandemic, New Depression and who knows what all to help Putin makes sense when considered as enemy action.

(7,733 posts)Trump tried to convince Americans to let go of decency and goodness and join him in the pit of vile corruption. Some weak minded fools couldnt fight his con and gave in to the evil. Trump will turn his back to them as he melts into infamy.

Heres the lesson I try to keep during these trying years, from a man who resisted fascism the fascist Falange of Franco that overthrew democracy in Spain:
Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again.
And what do we teach our children?
We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France.
When will we also teach them what they are?
We should say to each of them:
Do you know what you are?
You are a marvel.
You are unique.
In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you.
Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move.
You may become a Shakespeare, a Michaelangelo, a Beethoven.
You have the capacity for anything.
Yes, you are a marvel.
And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel?
You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children.
― Pablo Casals
