When will they call him out as Traitor?

[kennetha]

Time to stop mincing words. Trump is committing treason against the United States.

Also, when I are we going to see that plan for disentangling himself from his businesses?

Impeachment proceedings need to commence from the first hour of his swearing in.

I know, I know ... Pence. But Pence is an ordinary Republican monster. Trump is an extraordinary monster.

1. Soon I hope. nm

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. You are forgetting something very important.

It's
Okay
If
You
Are
Republican

[Wellstone ruled]

3. Don't expect our so called Media to say

a damn thing. It is all about the Eye Balls and Ad sales. And the further we get beyond the Election,the more we see and find out how the Media help with Trumps Election by protecting him from any discovery.

[malaise]

15. They are trying really hard to invent a positive story around Groper Don the Con

to sell inauguration coverage - it's failing big time - it makes shouts of fake news hard to take.

[Hugin]

18. Their horse race blew up in their faces.

Now they don't want to own up to creating an atmosphere where things like a profoundly unpopular person is sworn into office.

[tecelote]

4. That's one of the bright points to look forward to in 2017.

Trump tweeting from jail.

6. I used to think that crooks would be tried and punished

Well, so much for that

[tecelote]

8. Yeah, I would agree normally since our party seems to like to get along rather than fight, but...

Lindsey Graham and John McCain are in on the fight. Just maybe...

Oh, never mind, you're right. He'll slide by.

WTF.

[BigDemVoter]

13. Isn't it disheartening?

It's this simple fact that has gotten me into such a deep depression. Obviously he had "external" help in getting to where he is, and not only will he never be held accountable (in my humble opinion), but he will be rewarded for all the lies, obfuscations and dog whistles he's responsible for.

Excuse my language, as I have gotten so much coarser in what I write, but this person is a slimy piece of SHIT. . . . I am going to have to find the energy to get back up and push back, but it has been just soul crushing.

[rbrnmw]

19. yes

I am going to have to find the energy to get back up and push back, but it has been just soul crushing.

I am with you I have been so demoralized and crushed, I can't watch the MSM anymore it's just too much, I am terrified for my children and what future America has in store for them. To quote Joseph P Kennedy when he said he had 9 hostages to fortune, I have 5 hostages to fortune and I won't let this go without a fight, but it feels daunting and hopeless right now.

[smirkymonkey]

20. I hear you.

I feel exactly as you do. Soul crushing is such the right word for it.

[ailsagirl]

5. And nothing is being done-- it's not too late

Is our country really just sitting by passively????????

[Fast Walker 52]

7. Trump is running the highest stakes game and con job possible

Trump is so deep in debt with Russia and he's pulling everyone along on this incredibly fucked up gamble to cover his debts.

It could come crashing down so easily if we pull the right threads, and the GOP would be fucking ruined.

We NEED TO SEE HIS TAXES.

[volstork]

9. Which are the right threads?

N/T

[Fast Walker 52]

10. I would say his federal income taxes

[Kablooie]

11. On what grounds? Being Putin's lapdog?

He has done nothing yet except blather empty words.
Until he has the power and starts to use it against the US there are no grounds to do anything.

[kennetha]

12. Collaborating with the hack

Would be an act of treason

[.99center]

14. Soon and Trump won't be the only republican labled as a traitor.

If Trump and/or members of the GOP had knowledge of the collaboration going on between Trump's staff and Putin, we'll rid our country of all these swamp creatures.

16. I think Trump will have an embarrassing public meltdown

And will have to be removed from office. I give him 6 months to a year. Then President-in-waiting Pence will tidy up the mess, have Pompeo at CIA and Sessions at Justice destroy evidence of treason, and go on to preside over the most right-wing administrations in US history.

17. When the Constitutional definition of treason is amended?

21. McCain "When you attack a country, it's an act of war,"

The tools used to orchestrate cyber warfare against the U.S. equates to arms. Putin became an "enemy" of the state, when he launched cyber warfare against our democracy. If Trump had knowledge of his staff coordinating and aiding the enemy, impeachment will be the least of his worries.

[onenote]

22. Uhh. No.

McCain can say what he wants. But he can't unilaterally change the law. Countries that have diplomatic relations with each other are not at war.
