I doubt that you do.

Treason is defined at Article 3, Section 3 of the US Constitution:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.


Now, can you explain to me where/how Trump is guilty of committing Treason?
You underlined "only", and left out the "or".

Adhere : abide by, stick to, hold to, comply with, act in accordance with, conform to, submit to, hew to; etc

The investigators will decide what he is guilty of, be it 'collude', 'conspire', 'treason', or whatever, or nothing.

The guy is simply a ****ing legend on another level. Literally everything about this bizzaro world we're currently living in is too funny for words. Honestly, the Orange cheeto is actually doing a pretty damn good job. He's been way more effective than I thought he would be despite what our media tries to say.

Who's with me on this. How many other centrists feel like this? You don't really agree with Republicans, but you ****ing hate bleeding heart liberals and all their BS.......LOL
Thank God, I really am not losing my mind.

I wish just one liberal anti/never Trumper would come in here and say, "Gee, the msm really have lost their marbles, the DNC, Obama administration, Clinton Campaign, academia, Hollywood, etc. are going out of their way to be hypocrites every day, I wonder how Trump manages to do anything."

His appointees have been slow-walked seven times more than that of any other President ever.

So whom does this hurt? Trump? Not even close. The White House? Not even close. Trumpettes and the O.P.? No. Evidently not. We're fine. The Democratic Party and all their snowflakes? Bingo.

They suffer from chronic resentments, mostly fancied ones, aka resentments going off in their heads which are mostly made-up or spoon-fed to them by their own media.

At the end of the day, the far right is far more tolerant when it comes to actions. They just sorta believe in their nonsense, and leave me alone unless I ask them for their opinions. The far left is that annoying squeaky wheel on a grocery cart that ruins my shopping experience.

I am absolutely a centrist, but people that are partisan tend to think that if you disagree with them on anything then you're obviously "one of them." I'm 100% socially liberal. I'm not religious and give no ****s about any sort of morality nonsense related to organized religion. I pretty much don't care what anyone does as long as I don't have to pay for it, but I can't get on board with the whole libertarian thing because I do believe in some safety nets particularly when it comes to the environment people that ACTUALLY need help.

I find things I agree and disagree with in both parties; however, the members of one party despite the fact that I agree with them on a whole lot, drive me up the wall with their perpetual annoying whiny BS.
Wonderfully said.

BULL, you are no centrist in any way shape or form.

One can google your posts here and see with ease a litany of attacks on the left and wild support for trump.

you have a post where you delight in the idea of grinding up drug addicts into dog food, and a whole bunch of nasty dehumanizing comments about low income americans.

in the quote below you fully expose what you are. your pretense at being centrist is nonsense and clearly untrue.

Trump is already a legend. The balls on this guy wouldn't fit in a dump truck. These are glorious times we're living in.......lol

The left has gone bonkers. I actually identify with liberal based politics more than conservative based politics, but the last 6 months have been ****ing golden. Everyday is like a special little treat.

No. The investigators will not decide on guilt.

Our system does not work that way.

In any event, the Treason Clause of the Constitution applies ONLY to disloyal acts committed during times of war.

Wanna try again?

I always hear conservatives say leave it up to the states. So what exactly do you want the federal government to do for you. The red states use Obamacare the most so I guess you want Trump to take it away from them? The Republicans control it all....yet they can't get anything done so don't even bring the Dems into this.

Tell that to the GOP controlled Congress, they aren't passing his stuff and aren't getting in line.

Not every GOP controlled state wants to see medicaid reduction and/or import tariffs.

You're not a "centrist." Quit with the act.

The MSM is revealing important facts about how everyone in his camp meets with Russians. That's what MSM should be doing. I guess evidence like that makes you wince.

Yeh, wait until you need health insurance and there isn't any. The Republicans can't figure out how to repair Obamacare so they're just going to repeal it. REPEAL. REPEAL. They love that word. It must feel really good to say it. REPEAL! It could be fixed but that would take bipartisan work and sadly, this country isn't capable of that sort of thing anymore. I'm in the middle, slightly left of center and I don't want kids and disabled, poor, losing health care. Everyone needs to have health care in place because you never know when you'll need it.
