So, by his own account - Trump is guilty of treason. The current president of the United States of America has admitted to/provided evidence showing he has committed treason in order to become your commander-in-cheif.
How does that make you feel America? Are you actually going to do something about it now?
[To be clear, this is addressed to ALL of americas citizens - Including military and police personnel. Ofc average citizens would be afraid to do much more than protest when these people are protected by law enforcement, but will law enforcement continue to protect these people now, is the real question.]
Yes
this has been another episode of "straightforward answers to simple questions."
Law enforcement's history was union busting and slave hunting. It has never served the good of the common man but the manipulative whims of the wealthy.
By his own account, and many many others. Too bad you can only execute a motherfucker once.
No reason not to try more than once though.
You can get close a whole bunch of times first though. That would be unpleasant.
Obligatory "if any other president did this..."
Don't forget that he was elected as a convicted felon, and those felonies were largely committed in the process of cheating in the 2016 election.
This is yet another page, or maybe a new chapter at most, in the same old story.
At this point, I am almost hoping for a civil war. We seriously need to clean house and overhaul everything to prevent this bullshit for the next couple of centuries.
"...to do much more than protest..."
It'd be great if they would protest the orange child rapist.
Yeah, sure, when their Gestapo kill people there are a few small protests. However the protests about the demented wobbling bag of syphilis are severely lacking.
