...and I am not a particular radical. I tend to be small-c conservative when it comes to our institutions. But enough is enough. These people are consciously trying to destroy our country. Our democracy. Anything worthwhile about our republic. In doing so, they have given aid and comfort to a foreign despot who is deliberately trying to kill our soldiers. And protection and cover, to the traitor in the White House who is that despot's puppet. I, personally, would be willing to see--much to my surprise--something that might almost be regarded as revolutionary justice dished out to certain individuals. I hardly have to name names. Again--this will never happen, certainly not under Biden. But if *I* feel this way, I know similar feelings must be widespread...

And churches that engage in activities supporting a political party need to have their tax exemptions yanked!

(15,601 posts)Nothing the GOP senators have done meets the definition of the crime of treason, which is the only crime defined in the Constitution. Treason cannot have been committed because the US has not declared war on any nation at the present time.
They are heinous, evil, bastards, but to misuse the word treason waters down its meaning.

Seriously, WHY ???
We have a Traitor in the WH and racist idiots trying to support him - and your post rants and rails and says Biden is Weak.
Why?

(4,858 posts)...to do anything that radical. I wish it was otherwise, but you aren't going to get Joe Biden to prosecute the GOP for treason. I was giving vent to my feelings, knowing that I was asking for something that our current polity simply is incapable of. This might change, when Joe is in the White House and something approaching the real history of our times is honestly told. I suspect it is *so* shocking that calls for action that, today, would be unthinkable--becomes very thinkable...

That way I know they cannot get away with more harm.
I hope Biden does a Nuremberg on them for all our sake.

(7,538 posts)Reagan's rogue end run around Congress showed us that the GOP cannot be trusted with authority. The Neocons used the Tea Party to monkey wrench our government and reshape the world for profit. Our failure to take the GOP to task is what led us down this road to Trump.

Donald Trump can take all his empty words about respecting our service and shove them.
