Let this sink in

The President of the United States of America told the world on foreign soil that he accepts Putin's word over the intelligence agencies in America.
If that is not treason, what exactly is treason?

LOCK HIM THE FUCK UP!

They are 29 and live their lives

It is amazing yes. I got 3 boys, 2 real twins and their twin. Often people think real twins think alike, are copy / paste in everything. It is far from reality. Younger, they were as cat and dog...different tastes, different area of interest, different friends, etc. their twin was (he still is) very calm watching at them until he felt the moment was right to calm them down before it goes too far...

I never got tired of watching them interacting. I have another son, my older who is 32 years old now.

I'm now waiting witch one will make me grandma first.

The boys are fraternal. As with yours, their personalities are totally different. They don't even particularly look alike except for the fact that the boys have always been pretty much the same height. And even though they all drive now and share a car. they still keep their parents very busy.

I started early

I was still student when I had my first son. It was my last year.

I'll be 53 on 30 this month

I suppose measured by nowdays standards, I'm not old. Not anymore young by the way

In addition, I don't really care. It is an endless joking subject at home : if I'm asked how old I'm I never remember. I have to calculate. So I find easier to give my date of birth

Putin feigns offense...probably laughs even harder at just how well they chose their target and what a gullible loser and dumbass he really is...

Trump is a traitor - a pathetic one at that...and his obsession with the election is really sad...he knows that the election was rigged and meddled with by the Russians. He cut a deal to get what he wanted...and his ego is obsessed with convincing people he won "fair and square"....

When the truth is revealed, it will show how sick and what a liar Trump is...and that he is indeed a Traitor....

Which is this:

We have evidence now that Trump was told that the Russians hacked the DNC and had HRC's emails.

There is no doubt that the Russians did it, and that Trump knows the Russians did it.

So this farce about who Trump believes more, the Russians or our own intelligence organs is just that - a farce.

The Russians did it, Trump knows they did it, and he is flat out lying to the American public.

You have to save something of yourself in acting. You can't completely immerse yourself in a role. If he goes 'full-tilt-Trump', his mind may never return to it's normal state.

<snip>
A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress — House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy — made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016, exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthy’s assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy.

He also said "by the way it was not 17 intelligence agencies that said russia interfered in the election it was only 4". So there is that. He's developed a mind map of what is going on and he's just reading off of it.

95. "adhering to its enemies"
Sun Nov 12, 2017, 09:50 AM
Nov 2017
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.


Depends on how you define "adhering to their Enemies, giving them aid and comfort." I see Trump as a traitor, who sold out his country for money and political advantage. And I define a traitor even more generally, as someone, who a) either wears the uniform of the enemy, or b) while wearing his country's uniform, works for the benefit of the enemy. So in my eyes, a traitor also would be someone posturing as a Christian, while being a pedophile. '

A traitor is lower than a pirate or theif, who honestly states that he is a pirate and will steal and do whatever he pleases.

Donald Trump's days are numbered. He and his merry band of traitors and pirates will do a lot of damage in the process. But I have to believe that this sewer that our country has fallen into is a wake-up call for millions of Americans about not minding the store. Not voting. We will get through this, and we will repair a lot of the damage. All things are impermanent.
