I said Traitor, dipshit. Not treason. Not surprised conservatives have ZERO reading comprehension.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

How about disagreeing with the President?
No. Treason is very specifically defined. Giving aid and comfort to an enemy or making war on the us. Russia isn't an enemy as defined by the Constitution, since we aren't at war with them.
What Trump did was question the CIA report on Russian hacking. Now he might be totally wrong about that, but the idea that you can question the CIA without it being treason is totally fucking bonkers and completely scary.

Traitor- one who commits treason.
What did you think traitor means? Also I'm not a conservative. I'm just a fact checker. If this board were full of conservative propaganda I'd be fact checking them

Those 17 Intelligence agency say that Russia attacked the US. Just because President Orange Blimpfuck doesn't want to hear it because it upsets his handlers in the Kremlin does not change the fact.

Tell that to your boyfriend, the Orange Fucktard. He seems to think that questioning him is treason. He's a fucktard. You.... I'm still wondering.

Indeed. The newfound trust Lefties have for the CIA is scary.

Is anyone else just...tired...of all of this? Can we skip to the last page, already? I’m really, really over it from all sides.

Checks on power are fine, what is not fine is carpet vilification of entire institutions. And President Shithole isn't singling out a specific person or charge, he is attacking the several agencies and not just agencies but also our free press.
On a smaller scale Serpico is a good example of whistle blowing and courts and MEDIA and government oversight putting a spotlight on corruption.
Nobody here is saying blindly trust, that is why we have separation of power. What we ARE saying is that the toxic rhetoric by one man aimed at entire groups of people and entire institutions is undermining the very check on power our system is based on.
It is treasonous to me to REPEATEDLY for years to vilify entire groups, entire institutions and the free press AS A SITTING PRESIDENT.
45 isn't questioning, he is vilifying to undermine any questioning to his power.

How about disagreeing with the President?
Hey RR! Off topic, but I just wanted to let you know that I did reply to your thoughtful post in the Atheism thread, only it’s showing that I quoted myself, so...I think I got the alert instead of you. 😂
