Treason is definitely a capital offense

Sky Blue's avatar

I've just got this gut feeling that trump WILL do what he ALWAYS does in the end.

What DECADES of HISTORY have shown us ALL....

trump has NO LOYALTY to ANYONE ELSE EVER so eventually EVERYTHING trump TOUCHES DIES!!

NEVER EVER TRUST A BULLY because they are so insecure narcissistic and paranoid that sooner than later EVERYONE becomes one of their TARGETS!!

My gut tells me that trump, himself, with his OWN words and actions WILL take down not only himself but EVERY SINGLE person surrounding him.

It's gonna be more painful for ALL Americans getting through the trump-epstein Files and Wars...

But WE ARE AMERICANS!! We've lived through lots of bad times and WE ARE STILL HERE!!

WE WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED!!!!

WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER!!

REAL COURAGE is about being afraid of something but doing it anyway. Bravery.

WE ALL need REAL COURAGE NOW MORE THAN EVER BEFORE and so do our politicians!!

SHOW UP for America and Americans!! March 28. NO KINGS!!!!

I married since 1973 to an insecure narcissist who is as two-faced as they come. We both came from troubled backgrounds with educated parents.

Over the years l became embittered and angry. More recently I suffered difficulty breathing and weightloss. My husband could care less. He claimed to be the victim of my anger.

After 50+ years, l collapsed and was finally diagnosed and treated with medication. I spent 4 months in a local nursing facility in treatment and regaining weightloss.

I seldom had time to get sick because of all my responsibilities.

It’s taken some getting used to but my children have been loving and supportive. And l have an aide (an African princess), at home in Queens who is lovely.

Fortunately l found an alternative solution 32 years ago and left my teaching job (he controlled my paycheck) and started my own business with my own bank account.

Success is the best revenge. Too many years with marriage counseling, but l do have my independence. And four grown children, two of whom live abroad!

Thankfully.

We stand beside you, Babette!

You ARE brave, courageous and appreciated! Good for you!

(((xoxoxo)))

I neglected to mention that I’m still married, but l think he is beginning to get the message.

Today l suggested that he treats me like the tires on our two cars: fills me with air and kicks the sides for good measure!

Sky Blue's avatar

It's sorrowful to hear but you say you've got a plan, so good for you.

ARREST HIM ALREADY!!!!!

Tracey Queripel's avatar

Didn’t he also lift sanctions on Russia after they gave Iran information on where our facilities and ships were?

Patty Mooney's avatar

The entire Republican Congress - the whole kit 'n kaboodle - are complicit and therefore traitors committing treason since the day he was "elected."

I Resist's avatar

Right on Patty! They are all sycophants and when I see his boot licking cabinet fawning and praising him I want to puke. It’s like assuaging the fifth grade bully on the playground so he doesn’t come after you. Well, guess what. If he decides he doesn’t like you he will definitely come after you. Just ask Barbie Baby Bully!

S.R. R.'s avatar

Cults by their very nature are complicit in their leader's crimes.

Patty Mooney's avatar

It definitely appears to be a mental contagion.....

James Rankin's avatar

No more so than the 6 Republican members of SCOTUS. Add some billionaires to the mix. In fact, all of the Epstein class.

David Maceira's avatar

They certainly are! And by proxy so is Mitch McConnell and the Robert's SCOTUS. They are all guilty of enabling, protecting and emboldening this monster.

MLR's avatar

....and guess what?!!...

Treason is outside of presidential duties...

This federal crime breeches the immunity gifted to him by the #DirtyJohn6...

The filthy felon committed treason twice in Mar2026:

Russia and Iran.

Don 2.0's avatar

And January 6, 2021. That was also treason. Those "butter knife Democrats" should've thrown him in prison when they had the Orange Gargoyle in their clutches. Now look where we are. Is this what is meant by the term "witch hunt"? Well, as it turns out, what do witch hunts find occasionally? Witches. And when God damn Donald Trump finally, at long last, dies, I will play on a jukebox the Streisand duet with the late Harold Arlen, "Ding Dong the Wicked Witch is Dead!"

Debra Ernst's avatar

Brilliant, Mary! Although he’s done so many other things that should be considered treasonous, this one seems fairly easy to prove. Even the GOP might get it!

S.R. R.'s avatar

"Might" is doing some heavy lifting in that sentence.

Debra Ernst's avatar

True… soo fracking true..😡

💙.'s avatar

DIDN’T THEY USED TO HANG THOSE WHO COMMITTED TREASON?

MLR's avatar

🎯🎯execution is still on the fed books for committing treason in a time of war🎯🎯

I'm no lawyer, but shit pants - #34XFELON has already ticked off the qualifiers for capital punishment to satisfy the amendment.

E.H's avatar

just raping young girls

MLR's avatar

....trafficking, abusing or raping children should be qualifiers all on their own..

Sky Blue's avatar

North Korea hangs PEDOPHILES!

Maybe we should do that, too!

RRiveter's avatar

George Washington or Abe Lincoln would have, in a heartbeat, but the current crew? Hell no. They'll make excuses or join him.

LT's avatar

Mary you are so good. Your work is clarifying, reasonable, common sense and somehow so comforting in the face of bat-shit-crazy.

I'm such an admirer.

Thank you for doing what you do.

ps: as an underpaid FL public school teacher...I wish I could upgrade $ to support your work. Perhaps in time.

Meanwhile, keep us informed with your perspective and knowledge.

And treason: arrest the scourge already

Bob De Thomas's avatar

Your uncle hasn't a clue and he proves it every time he babbles, saying a lot or words with no substance. It's easy to see why he's the laughingstock of the world, an utter buffoon so out of touch with reality.

Sara Edelman's avatar

And this is who has his finger on the nukes button....

NANCY BARDOS's avatar

Egad, I think of this every day……maybe multiple times every day. Somebody needs to “get the hook” and get him out of there. (I never wish anybody dead…..tho gee, Trump sure is happy about Mueller……and he’s already survived 2 assassination attempts.). Why, oh why, isn’t there any relief on the horizon? The psychiatrists knew he wasn’t fit YEARS ago……..and yet……

James Rankin's avatar

Staged assassination attempts, at least the one in Butler.

RRiveter's avatar

You bet. And that's why that young man was killed, so he wouldn't spill the beans. Assassination attempt my ass. Just a ploy to get votes.

Nick's avatar

Everyone in his cabinet, especially the Secty of the Treasury, is saying this lifting of the sanctions on oil is brilliant. They’re all espousing traitorous actions, defending the TiC. What an historical mess, by a sociopath.

Sky Blue's avatar

Make no mistake, Nick, they are ALL complicit ... every single one of the GOP maga.

ALL EUNUCHS in the White House NOW.

America and Americans are begging for leadership...but it looks like we are all on our own as usual...WTF??

We must RESIST and VOTE! VOTE!! VOTE!!!

WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER!

Norm's avatar

Just when we think we’ve seen it all, Mary, your addlebrained, treasonous, moron uncle shows himself to be a bottomless pit of stupidity and criminality. Thanks MAGAs, and a big thanks to the 90 million eligible voters who could not be bothered to save our democracy.

Bill Jones's avatar

Good to hear, I feel I have been preaching to the choir on this usbject. If he can be impeached on Treason, the entire administration is removed automatically.

I Resist's avatar

Senate won’t impeach him so, arrest, try, convict, imprison where he should be already!

Skitealwedrop's avatar

So whose job is it to take care of these details? AG Blanche? There’s a reason the FELON has kept his criminal defense lawyer so close.

PlasticFish's avatar

That is untrue, and is based on a misreading of the Constitution. I've even seen the relevant portion misquoted in support of this fallacy. The reality is that each official can be impeached, but this must be done for each one individually.

Bill Jones's avatar

I stand corrected. But let's impeach Putz anyway.

Skitealwedrop's avatar

Sounds perfect, PlasticFish. Start at the top and work down the list.

Julia Stewart's avatar

Wow. Treason has a narrow definition, but this may just fit. Only the orange Humpty Dumpty could start a war and then give aid to the enemy. Mind f***kingly believeable.

PlasticFish's avatar

Only it's not actually a war because Congress has made no declaration of it.

Terra Crews's avatar

Mary why do WE all see and understand the insanity that he demonstrates and no one else in government does or chooses to be silent!! Am I living in a different universe?

I Resist's avatar

Because they are hand picked loyal sycophants and MAGA Congress sold their souls to keep kissing his ring! Clear, no?

Charlotte Thompson's avatar

They see it Terra, but they don't care. All of them are corrupt like him.

Sandra A. Jones's avatar

We have a tRump government full of psychopaths and sociopaths. They all crave money and power and could care less how they achieve them. They all pretend to look after our best interest, while scheming to enrich themselves, hoping no one will notice. Always handy with a rationale, hoping for a gullible public. Emboldened by The illegal Venezuelan coup and control over their oil, this felon tRump fascist regime thought it could work with Iran. If they would have just consulted a map, they might have noticed the country's protective mountains surrounding them and that the Strait of Hormuz was a death trap. Trying to take this Strait and get control of their oil is a near impossibility, as any grade schooler can see. This whole area can be mined, including the islands, waiting for the US invasion. Martyrdom of their Supreme leader and his family has united the country. Psychopath/felon tRump and sociopathic company has underestimated the Iranians and have lost. US is now in its demise and a new world order is on the horizon.

I’m so against treason being permitted in the United States. Law, punishment, responsibility, etc. That’s what I believe in.
