Suggesting that a war should be waged against the democratically-elected government of the United States seems... Well, it seems kinda treason-y to me. Just a smidge.
Hey now, treason is very specifically defined in the constitution. Oh and yeah, that’s the constitutional definition. This is treason.
To be fair, we have been very lenient with traitors lately. To the surprise of no one, treason becomes increasingly popular.
This is why we should have met treason aggressively and swiftly from the beginning.
SCOTUS allows treason if it's an official act peculiar only to Trump.
Republicans can have a little treason. As a treat.
You've heard of first treason, but what about second treason?
What’s treasons, precious?
Americans have been giving these folks too much rope. When will they start using the rope?
Perhaps Biden's "official" act is rope-a-dope.
Should have done it his first month in office.
Trials for the January 6th crew? Should have been immediate, not taking 4+ years.
We've been very lenient with traitors since 1865.
Obligatory FUCK ANDREW JOHNSON.
Lately? We have been lenient since the last civil war!
Hey treason is when Democrats do anything I don't like which means anything
Its only real treason if it comes from the Treasony region of France. Otherwise its just called being a rebel.
The Champagne virus is elusive.
bubbling rebel
I miss when that mattered....
Isn’t this sedition, not treason?
Technically yes, but it's really just semantics and treason sounds sexier.
Yeah this kinda does seem like it might cross the line and be actionable
Doing the definition of treason is AT LEAST treason-adjacent!
But you need either that person or two witnesses to admit to it in a court in order to convict.
