Joe Biden When He Saw The Intelligence: If this is true, Its treason.

If it’s good enough for a remarkable Vice President of the United States to use the word “treason” to describe this Russian/Republican attack on our democracy, I think it’s good enough for me. Mueller is taking care of the legal fight that we desperately need, and the rest of us need to take the political fight to the rest of the country. The uninformed public will be moved far more by the word “treason” than the word “conspiracy”. We need to get people to wake up to the existential threat our country faces from a hostile nation and the Republicans helping an attack on our democracy. If Biden says it’s treason, I’m not going to argue with him.

RESIST!

Nov.6 isn’t just election day, it’s judgment day!

might be the most important election in our history.
If the Dems don’t take the House and hold their own, at least, in the Senate, we are so totally screwed. Russia 🇷🇺 thru their Manchurian candidate Trump will have taken us down.

Get people registered to vote now.
Then go volunteer or contribute from now until November.

I don't think that part of the United States Code has been changed since it was written. Weren't the Rosenbergs hanged?

With tinkering on the edges of voter roles in 4 states they stole the election for drumpf last time. This next time many will be so much more motivated to vote D based on the treachery, lies, fraud, grifting, racism, gun humping, and hatred against women and brown people they se daily from congress and the WH. Russia will have to be much more active for them to win and orange assface is doing everything possible to ensure nothing at all is done to stop it. Can a blue wave overpower Russia's vote stealing apparatus? I am really concerned about this. I am hoping and praying that Mueller can bring out some indictments to people closer to the WH for conspiracy against our country and cooperation with a hostile foreign country to effect an election and stormy wins and publishes some really ugly pictures. We are in an existential fight and need every edge possible to fight this deep corruption of the Russian Repug oligarchs.

He acts more presidential than anyone currently in the White House. Why? He was around a *real* president for eight years and knows how one conducts themself.

that word has little legal meaning. Conspiracy is a term readily understood. Treason is even better.

We must be sure that the vote is counted accurately and is not manipulated or flipped. We can get a virtual army of people out to vote but if their vote isn’t counted or gets reversed in a midnight flip, how will that get the ball back in our court? It won’t. So the moral of that story is we must monitor and examine the voting system to insure fairness and accuracy. And keep out the nepharious characters who will cheat, manipulate and do whatever they can to “win”.
