Yes, OP is a great meme.

22. Excellent and most distressing quotation you've got there.

4. McConnell and Trump are guilty of treason.

1) McConnell was told that we had to increase security around our elections because of Russian actions and he blocked it.

Secret CIA assessment says Russia was trying to help Trump win White House

Though U.S. intelligence agencies were skeptical that hackers would be able to manipulate the election results in a systematic way, the White House feared that Russia would attempt to do so, sowing doubt about the fundamental mechanisms of democracy and potentially forcing a more dangerous confrontation between Washington and Moscow.

In a secure room in the Capitol used for briefings involving classified information, administration officials broadly laid out the evidence U.S. spy agencies had collected, showing Russia’s role in cyber-intrusions in at least two states and in hacking the emails of the Democratic organizations and individuals.

The Democratic leaders in the room unanimously agreed on the need to take the threat seriously. Republicans, however, were divided, with at least two GOP lawmakers reluctant to accede to the White House requests.

According to several officials, McConnell raised doubts about the underlying intelligence and made clear to the administration that he would consider any effort by the White House to challenge the Russians publicly an act of partisan politics.

2) Trump publicly called for Russia to hack the DNC and HRC’s campaign.

Donald Trump Calls on Russia to Find Hillary Clinton’s Missing Emails


DORAL, Fla. — Donald J. Trump said on Wednesday that he hoped Russian intelligence services had successfully hacked Hillary Clinton’s email, and encouraged them to publish whatever they may have stolen, essentially urging a foreign adversary to conduct cyberespionage against a former secretary of state.

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Mr. Trump said during a news conference here in an apparent reference to Mrs. Clinton’s deleted emails. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

3) McConnnel knows that the elections have been rigged for sometime now. In Nov. 2015 the democratic Sec. of State in KY was 5 or 6 points up going into the race for governor ….. he lost by 9 or 10 points which is a 14 to 16 point swing. C

5. Don't forget how McConnell has rigged SCOTUS.

By refusing to allow any of Obama's picks through. And yet he says we must take the constitution literally. Fuck off with that constitutional literalism bullshit!

[Botany]

7. And why was McConnell so sure that the next President was going to pick a ...

..... person for SCOTUS that he would like?

McConnnell knew about the rigging of the election (cross check) and Russia's
actions too.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

23. I know, right.

Too bad none of this will ever get investigated. The coup is days from being complete.

[Dustlawyer]

16. We need to stay on our Representatives to take steps

to protect future elections, as well as bombard Republicans with the same. We need to end their voter purges and Cross Check.

Most of all we need to show the rest of the country that the Republicans are traitors and not let up. Trump is an illegitimate President and the election of this corrupt pumpkin is the Republican's fault! Every corrupt, screwed up thing he and his Plutocratic administration do needs to be rubbed in their noses.

Lastly, crucify the MSM for their corrupt coverage, or lack thereof! Call for busting up the 6 major media companies and the Big Banks, and real campaign finance reform. We need publicly funded elections, no campaign contributions, Super PACS, dark money, lobbyists, and ending the revolving door!!!

[Bettie]

6. Chances are

they'll find some pretext to lock up or execute some Democrats on charges of treason.

Projection is their greatest skill.

[turbinetree]

8. And lets not forget the restaurant were they conspired to take down a president

in 2008, so there modis operandi hasn't changed since they came into the republic, making lots off money off the taxpayers, they have been traitors since day one, not day two , but day one, and to add further insult to there there treason they signed a letter on Iran

There allegiance is to the following:

9. America

It was fun while it lasted

[Fast Walker 52]

10. it's so outrageous it's almost unreal... how aren't people in the streets about this???

[niyad]

11. because most people are clueless, or shaking their heads in complete disbelief that this

could actually be happening.

[Hortensis]

18. Well, because most people are too spread out? Can you imagine

a few people stepping out of their subdivision homes to wave and yell in solitude for a few minutes? Their neighbors are at work, also widely dispersed, and their employers don't give breaks for this stuff.

Seriously, a nation of suburban communities needs a different vision and different forms of citizen action. We can't depend on a handy mob forming to get us up and acting.

But go ahead and remember those several days of marches by people who do live in various cities after the election. They were an unprecedented indicator.

[Fast Walker 52]

20. yes, of course, I agree

[raccoon]

24. Good post. nt

12. Yes! T.R.E.A.S.O.N.

[bighartredux]

13. I contacted my congress persons and

essentially told them this exact thing.
Investigate. YOU took an oath of office to protect and defend the constitution and the situation demands that you honor that oath.

[blue neen]

15. That's what we all need to be doing!

Welcome to DU!

[bighartredux]

17. Thanks

This needs to be investigated thoroughly starting NOW!!!!

[yuiyoshida]

14. The thing about treason is that you need

someone to persecute it, and when your Senate, House and Supreme court are all on the same side as the Traitor, the question becomes who would dare try?
