The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Originally posted by JimL View PostYou voted for him CP, own it. This cop out that you are all employing now about the lesser of two evils is nonsense. If anything Hillary was the lesser of two evils. Trump is an immoral, racist, corrupt, anti-democratic, autocratic, con man and that was evident to all during the campaign and you voted for him anyway“He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.

Originally posted by JimL View PostThat's your opinion, and in my opinion it is you who do not understand what is meant by either war, or treason.
Even if Trump did everything you think he did, colluded with the Russians to win the election, it would not be Treason.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostCan't say I'm surprised.
But, of course, Mueller is labeled a "RINO" because he is not toeing the party line and is doing what he has a reputation for doing: honest investigation without letting the political machinations get in his way. I am prepared to accept his findings on the basis of the evidence and the strength of his character: whether it exonerates or implicates Trump. What I see is the right working very hard to make sure that, if the latter happens, Mueller is discredited as much as possible.
No surprise. Happened with Nixon. Happened with Clinton.

Originally posted by JimL View PostI didn't say there is proof that Trump commited treason, that's part of the ongoing investigation. It is my opinion that either he, i.e. Trump, or individuals related to his administration have. Aiding and abetting a foreign adversary to subvert the democratic process, which as far as I'm concerned is an act of war, is treasonous, and I think there is a lot evidence supporting that contention. It is also very obvious, to me at least, that Trump absolutely refuses to retaliate, to even admit to, or to work to protect the country from these attacks in the future.
Trump is also working to undermine democratic institutions, such as the CIA, The FBI, The DOJ, The Attorney General, not to mention the 4th estate, the free press. He, like Putin, has also filled the swamp with his corporate theiving oligarch buddies rather than draining it.
As to your final point, just because the U.S. attacks an adversary of ours, whether it be militarily, or by other means, such as conspiracy, for whatever reason, is no reason not to defend ourselves when we are attacked by our adversaries. To claim it to be hypocritical and therefore it's okay and we needn't defend ourselves from it, is just silly.
As to the latter - I did not suggest we should not defend ourselves. My point was mostly that perhaps we should get out of the business if sticking our noses into the business of other countries - and then whining about it when the same is done to us. As a country, we don't really have a moral leg to stand on, IMO.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
