[RandySF]

He has just called on a foreign state to commit further espionage.

[MoonRiver]

1. +1000

[SticksnStones]

2. Is there a Whitehouse.gov petition

To prevent him from getting the daily briefings?

This man is dangerous to national security

[auntpurl]

4. Start one and I'll sign it!

[Panich52]

8. Me, too

[lark]

30. Me 3

and I'd bet most of the people on this board will also join in.

[musicblind]

53. Me 3.

Just give us the link!

[auntpurl]

54. Someone did!

Sign and share and kick the thread!

[SticksnStones]

57. Saw it! Signed it! Rec'd it! And posted on Reddit

And emailed a link to a bunch of friends and family!

Thanks for the heads up!

[workinclasszero]

55. WhiteHouse.gov petition to deny Donald Trump national security briefings

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512311162

[auntpurl]

3. I'm pretty sure that is actually treason.

[MoonRiver]

5. One of many acts of treason the fool has clearly committed.

[uponit7771]

10. +1

[groundloop]

17. Treason didn't stop Reagan (or Cheney)

You can get away with that shit if you're a GOPer.

[nolabear]

6. I'm absolutely gobsmacked. He can't be allowed to get away with this.

[meow2u3]

7. K&R for the pursuit of justice

[RonniePudding]

9. "But but if nobody wrote the emails it wouldn't have happend1!11!"

Some people here are so laughably naive it makes my stomach churn.

[randome]

11. He is not going to survive this. Beautiful, isn't it? We live in interesting times.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Stop looking for heroes. BE one.[/center][/font][hr]

[oswaldactedalone]

13. Said many people many times

and his popularity among morans has only risen. Inexplicable what a clusterf*ck America has become with the takeover of the media by the fascist wing of the Thug Party.

[RonniePudding]

14. The AWM demo isn't enough to win presidential elections anymore.

[randome]

18. This is different. He's showing even more erratic behavior than before.

His press conference sounded...interesting.

[tandem5]

12. We have our nickname: Traitor Trump

[caballojm]

15. Sad but brilliant!

I'll only refer to him as "Traitor Trump" from now on.

[dbackjon]

21. That works. As well as Vladimir Trump, or Russian Serf Trump

[BLACK4EVER]

25. Traitor tRump

is so ignorant that he talks and doesn't hear what's coming out of his mouth. To suggest a cyber search by the Russians for missing government emails is treasonous to the nth degree. T.T. (Traitor tRump) is always looking for that 10-second sound bite. To borrow the chant from his campaign with a slight change "Lock him up" . Added Post script: thirty minutes later T.T. said he was "just joking". WTF ????

[Nictuku]

58. "Comrade Trump"

[L. Coyote]

31. TP = Trump Potëmkin

[Ilsa]

38. I'll have to switch from "Deadbeat Donald" to that. nt

[Gary 50]

44. I think Hillary should take a page out of Trump's playbook and give him a nickname.

I'd go with Caligula.

[Ilsa]

49. Sadly, there are too many low

information voters out there. I doubt traitor trump knows what it means.

[First Speaker]

47. I rather like Moscow Don...

[uponit7771]

59. +1

[workinclasszero]

16. They are working for Trump already

He should have told them to stop, but he is a traitor so...

[L. Coyote]

19. Or, is he diverting attention from who really did the hack?

[center]I've ruled out only one suspect:



Even though I don't believe a word he says.

[cstanleytech]

42. Well yes he couldnt have done it but off the top of my head I know of one

who has the money to do it and a company he owns was already caught tapping peoples phones and that person is Rupert Murdoch.

[TeamPooka]

20. Lock Him Up!!! nt

[liberalnarb]

22. He's treasonous. nt

[Liberal In Red State]

23. I am completely dumbfounded . . . awestruck . . . How did the knuckle dragging tea party crazies

get to the point where they would support and encourage another country to help them win an election! Just like the 1950s we had more to fear from the right within our country than soviet spies . . . Now the right is inviting the Russians to rig our elections! Heaven help us!

[63splitwindow]

27. The RW smeared Bernie as a "commie" but OK for their Messiah to team up with "commies" WTF

[MoonRiver]

29. Cause.....fetuses!

[Laser102]

24. We called our local FBI. She indicated they were aware of what he said. We will see if this is free

speech.

[sarae]

28. Hah! NICE

I salute you.

[Ilsa]

39. Thank you. nt

[madamesilverspurs]

26. crickets

If Hillary Clinton (or any other Democrat) had issued a public invitation to the Russians to commit cyberwar on the US, Republicans would be universally screaming for her arrest.

Gander . . . Goose . . . Crickets . . .

[HeartoftheMidwest]

32. Pffft, silly you.

IOKIYAR.

[relayerbob]

33. Hell, he probably paid for the first round

[geretogo]

34. Treason is part of the Rethuglicon platform and has been for many years .

[workinclasszero]

63. Thats a fact

The bastards.

The last honorable republican was probably Eisenhower or Ford maybe.

[Liberal In Red State]

35. Have you seem the headlines "PUTIN TRUMP MAKING RUSSIA GREAT AGAIN"

[C Moon]

36. I'm beginning to think Pence is going to be the GOP candidate.

Crazy times, indeed!

[Stonepounder]

37. OK, so what happens if Trump drops out of the race (or is arrested)?

I don't think there is anything in the rules covering the situation. I don't think that necessarily the guy who was basically appointed to the veep slot automatically becomes the nominee, since he never ran for the office.

Could be interesting.

[cheyanne]

51. Any way they could repudiate Trump and make Pence candidate?

[Angry Dragon]

40. LOCK HIM UP

[cstanleytech]

41. Wont happen since the government isnt in the habit of arresting people for making

crackpot statements because if it was then there would be alot more nutjob truthers in jail.

[MoonRiver]

48. But only one of them is running for president.

That warrants an investigation. Period.

[cstanleytech]

52. Not really, not unless something would emerge that

is an actual link to Trump being directly involved with the Russian government over the hack.

[MoonRiver]

60. Exactly!

[cstanleytech]

61. Except so far there is no evidence of such a link other than the convenience of it

happening now and if any investigation were to be launched against Trump purely based on that it would look like a political witch hunt.

[MoonRiver]

62. I don't care what it looks like.

If he committed treason, he should suffer the consequences. Let the investigation begin.

[cstanleytech]

66. Unless the legal definition of treason for the US has changed what he has said is not treason.

Was he an asshole for saying it? Absolutely but he did not break any law for saying it.

[MoonRiver]

68. We don't know what the story is until the FBI investigates.

Hoping that process starts before the election.

[cstanleytech]

69. I think you are going to be waiting a long time then for that investigation to start then.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

65. Exactly n/t

[B Calm]

43. I can't wait to hear the speeches tonight! I hope Obama rips him to shreds.

[Fast Walker 52]

45. it's un-fucking-real

I honestly cannot understand how the GOP can support him after this.... except that they are the fucking GOP

[Liberal In Red State]

46. And now he is saying the Geneva Convention is outdated!!! Whether it is or is not . . . You don't

just bail on these negotiated positions . . . How would you like to be in the US military today when we no longer have any international standards of agreed treatment for prisoners of war??? This dude is beyond scarey!!!!! He is the devil come to earth . . . and should be the one feared by the far right. My only fear is that he is doing and spewing this kind of talk 4+ months before the election . . . what can we expect as an October Surprise??????

[Fast Walker 52]

70. you're right-- he is the devil

and of course the GOP can't see it at all-- so blinded by hate!

Scary as hell!

[sofa king]

50. I've been thinking about this

I don't think there is much doubt among us that Trump is a national security liability and that he is apparently under the sway of a foreign nuclear power.

But he's also a vapid, insincere, narcissistic fool who is easily manipulated. The danger that he now represents to the United States largely disappears the moment he steps out of the race (though we will have to contend with the awful legacy he has created for decades to come).

The way to lead him out of this is just like the way that Bush*s handlers led him around by the nose, by presenting him with a couple of clear, pre-arranged choices which lead to the same ultimate decision. No, I do not yet know what those choices are, how to present them, or who would do it.

But I can guess what the ultimate decision needs to be: Trump can remain an obnoxious public figure by deciding himself that all of this is too much trouble and he's over it. The public interest is served without evoking a Constitutional crisis, and Trump continues to do the Lords work for us by destroying the Republican Party from the outside, rather than destroying America from within the White House.

How do we work toward that objective?

[musicblind]

56. Why are people supporting this man?

What America am I living in?

I have never demonized a political opponent before, but this man is a truly bad, awful, horrible man.

[workinclasszero]

64. Because..greed...money...hate.

The three legs that hold up the republican horror party.

[cstanleytech]

67. Because they think he will make america great again!!!

Yes, they are delusional for buying his BS but there isnt really anything you can say to sway people who think racism and bigotry are something to idolize.
