He's losing his shit. Says he beat the witchhunt (Mueller Report), fully exonerated and now they're going to go to the beginning to see how it started because it involved treason. Claimed it was an attempted coup. Was very forceful.

(13,903 posts)Unfortunately folks both sides of the aisle have been throwing around treason a little too freely.
Some of his ultra radical supporters will eventually be pushed to the point where they feel 100% justified and empowered to try and inflict the death penalty themselves on whoever they see as 'traitors' (ie. whoever Trump labels as such). Trump is priming the pump of a potential bloodbath more and more each week.

(24,368 posts)From what I have read on the subject, legal opinion differs based on the "Or" following the words "against them".
Does that mean that treason can include acts outside of wartime? Or not?
Either way, it's clear that Trump and many others really, REALLY like using the word to describe acts that are little more than people being mean to them.

(42,770 posts)question today. You know he is all over this. Don't the news bureaus realize this and surely they would supply them with better mics? And WH says no? Can't believe this isn't all over the news. Yet, I never hear the news criticize his unavailability in a quiet room.

How will those who otherwise conduct our Constitution in practice respond? Will they respond? Will they salvage our Constitution?
