Elected official wants to destroy the FBI. Is that not some sort of treason?
The thought behind why? Sure. The actual desire to? Not really. Elected officials talk about ending government programs all the time.
the tea party, the occupy movement, blm, sanders, trump. people forget how bad people like palin were in 2008. mccain chose her as vp pick. the gop was on track to be overrun by these nutty evangelical christian right types long before trump. trump was the best conduit for these people at that time but a symptom of the overall problem and not the cause. he obviously hasn't helped though. i don't individuate it in trump because i think the people who see themselves in him don't need him as much as others think. they'll switch to desantis or whoever signals that they'll do their bidding.
the bigger problem imo is the transatlantic and transpacific mirroring of this kind of politics. the us and uk are trying their utmost to synchronize their political "moods". it's highly intentional on part of politicians and has predictably increased since brexit.
The irony is that they're going on about rejecting or fighting against a tyrannical government, whilst supporting a tyrannical government leader.
The language and the context is a little bit different to “hur hur libertarian want small government“ though.
I didn’t dispute that, I’m reiterating the point that he’s attacking an institution for carrying out a function that is designed to protect the US.
Externally, Bush might be the worst (but Trump is close), but internally, no modern president comes close to Trump.
Yeah, but that doesn’t actually meet our definition of treason.
United States Constitution, Article III, Section 3, “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.”
yeah that's a fair argument.
black panther party approves this message.

Ok so the answer to my question was no.
You also said “the thought behind why, sure”, when actually the thought behind it doesn’t meet the definition of treason you posted either. It’s probably closer to Sedition.
Well I was agreeing with your initial reaction that it seemed treasonous, sorry for that.
Apology accepted thank you
Indeed. I’ll be more blunt in the future.
Great post
I’ll show you how to get things blunted
Cry harder…
Stand? I thought she did her best work on her knees?
That’s the other dipshit.
I can't wait for it to be revealed that the judge who signed the warrant was a Trump appointee.
That would be rich as would an Obama appointee.
“We are a nation of law and order”
“Erm, except when someone tries to apply the laws to us”
Pretty impressive, he never looked the healthiest.
Get to thinking you're the "good guys" and pretty soon you'll be justifying any dirty trick.
These Republicans know they're playing dirty, though. They don't offer solutions, they just shit on everything. Many things deserve to be shit on, but it's just a way to be popular for them. They've shown they're actually terrible governors, with no political talent.
He had classified documents he didn't return, so they went to get them, apparently.
Can’t wait til the right starts to blame packing too quickly when they left as the reason Trump had so much classified info at MAR.
That’s just what Brittney Griner got in trouble for.

Can the undead and souless actually ever truly die?
The black magic of his actions keep him alive, he can't die until the last torture victim of US actions in the Americas dies.
Are GOP MAGA politicians all grifters or do some of them actually believe this shit?
I think deep down they all know it’s mostly a sham, but they can act their way through it & grifting is a wonderful side hustle.
