Giving them Aid and Comfort

Comrade Trump

In light of Robert Mueller's indictment of 13 Russian nationals for conspiracy against the United States, we now know that there is at least a chance that the President of the United States committed treason (as defined in Article Three of the U.S. Constitution).  We also know that he is being aided and abetted by the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, and the Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell.

From what I've read (and I freely admit to not being a Constitutional scholar), treason is exceedingly hard to prove in a court of law, but given that there's even a chance the President of the United States colluded with a a known foreign adversary, why is it that this is not being broadcast and parsed as far and wide as is every idiotic tweet that Comrade Trump foists upon the citizens of this country?

As the dust settles from the Mueller probe, do not forget for one minute that our media was asleep at the wheel in 2003 when we were given out and out false reasons for the invasion of Iraq, completely missed the boat when our economy collapsed in the fall of 2008, and were more than happy to gloss over the fact that in the Presidential election of 2016 the republican candidate was an unqualified, unstable, racist, misogynistic dupe of America's richest 1%.

And remember that our media has shown again and again since Comrade Trump's election that the voices of the 30% of Americans who support Trump, the GOP base that has no problem with a foreign power interfering in our elections as long as their white nationalist agenda is pushed forward, are given much more credence than the voices of the 70% of us who think the man is a danger and an embarrassment to everything our nation stands for.

Fuck Donald Trump,
