Suddenly, the name seems to fit in place like a puzzle piece. It fits very snugly.
He never really cared for America. He cares only about himself and Russia. He only cares about Russia because they make possible his lifestyle.
He is a traitor because he has betrayed our country. He has betrayed everything we stand for as a country. He has made us less in the eyes of the world.
Does that mean he has committed treason? In my opinion, yes. Although we may not be in a shooting war with Russia, it was an act of war when they attacked our election system and our sacred right to vote. Bullets are not the only way to fight a war.

(21,363 posts)Trump certainly fits the dictionary definition of a traitor, and whether he can be convicted or not of that crime isn't the point.
Donald Trump is a traitor.

(9,426 posts)the gop should be ashamed, propping this pile of SHIT up, as though he was a legitimate president. He holds rallys, brags about the crowds, then leaves each city to pay the bills for his security and mess cleanup. The RNC should start paying the cities back, instead of leaving taxpayers holding the bag. Supposedly, he rakes in millions when he meets with the rich donors. There is not one single person in this administration that I hold any respect for. They are all complicit in this sham of a government. The gop acts like juvenile delinquents, out of control. I wonder why the republicans can not find intelligent adults to represent them?

(530 posts)It is no surprise that dumpster is still doing what he did then, unencumbered. The obedient GOP are still standing by him because they are gaining so much political power. Don-don the con uses the Constitution to wipe his ass every day. We got lucky winning the 2018 elections. We may not be so lucky this time around.Winning this election is going to take a massive mobilization effort. I hope we are all up for the challenge!

Got a year, which is very short if protecting the vote involves any anti-tampering software selection, design, implementation.

(4,341 posts)and not our intelligence agencies. When he held the private meeting with Putin then destroyed the transcripts, that should have been enough to impeach him, put him in jail and then treat his case for treason.
After Helsinki he has committed numerous crimes and misdemeanors, and these are all listed in the articles of impeachment, it is not that difficult to pinpoint and verify his actions to understand that he can be impeached. That the Ukrainian issue is more obvious? Fine, but he could have been impeached even before that.

The weapons are not bombs and bullets, but lies, misstatements, distractions and other online techniques to baffle and confuse the unwitting masses of voters trying to glean some information to enlighten themselves. The weapon on our side is in reality only one... truth...true facts.
They fight with a seemingly unending supply of ammunition, lies are easy to manufacture, while the truth must wait for the precise time to make maximum impact. Weathering the many blows that come our way we need to shake those off and maintain a steady lock on the targets and destroy them with truth.
Cyberwar must be recognized as real war...just as real as a shooting war.
Then prosecute them as traitors with the full extent of punishment due to a traitor.
