I mean, he didn't just commit treason. The Mueller report was pretty clear he did that years ago.

You can commit treason more than once.

[-] Midnitte@beehaw.org 18 points 2 months ago

Oh sure, but you can never miss an opportunity to make a pedantic joke about language.

[-] Sanguine@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 months ago

I mean, you could.

"I used to commit treason. I still do, but I used to, too"

Yes* *Sadly, the US Supreme Court started last summer that anything the president does in an official capacity while president is legal.

The solution is an ambitious leftist with a spine winning the next election.

If the right person gets in, we could route the fascists and establish a socialist society.

Honest question: why would there even be a next election?

Question 2: if there is a next election... why would those in power right now, allow anyone not faithful to their ideology, to run in it?

  1. Probably not, which is why I'm currently building a reputation working abroad in multiple different countries so that I've got some history with different countries for later asylum claims or expatriation.

Did he just commit treason? No.

[-] SippyCup@feddit.nl 14 points 2 months ago

Did he commit treason again?

Yes

Did he commit treason, among other crimes?

Also yes.

Doesn’t really matter for today. We’re just making a list for historians to argue over long after the inevitable fall. The US is not a country of laws for the ruling class.

Christ, I'm sick of this. We know what the answer is.
