Who can forget this classic bit?

Obama telling Medvedev after the election he'll have more flexibility. Impeachable offense under these rules they've now set up.

Shame that I had to make a new topic to say this. This is how the left seems to be the majority online. You don't allow conversations. Call it trolling, ban everyone that speaks up. Pathetic.

So where in that clip did he refuse to send $500 million of military aid to a nation and then say he would release it if they dug up dirt on Mitt Romney's son?

No one is mad Trump talked to Ukraine dude, they're mad he commited treason.

He never committed treason. Get real, dude. Trump's thing the whole time has been if we're giving a foreign country aid, they should be doing something to benefit us. That's how he negotiates. It's not private corruption and it's certainly not treason. It's laughable to call it treason. The things he does are to help the country, not hurt it. The economy is doing gangbusters because of his policies.

Well, I dunno.

Did Obama hold up some military aid and ask Medvedev for a favor to investigate Romney?

Yes he did


Get real, dude. Trump's thing the whole time has been if we're giving a foreign country aid, they should be doing something to benefit us. That's how he negotiates.

  1. That money had already been approved. It's not up to Trump to "negotiate" a thing.
  2. Reopening bullshit investigations to smear political opponents during elections doesn't benefit "us" it benefits Trump. That's why it's treason. It's personal gain not the interest of the nation.


It's not private corruption and it's certainly not treason. It's laughable to call it treason.

Just saying "Its not" over and over doesn't make it true. It's absolutely treason to conspire with other governments for personal gain against the interests of your nation.

Trump had no right to block that aid (Something neither him nor his defenders can find an explanation that justifies doing it) to begin with and absolutely no right to try to use it blackmail other leaders into smearing his rivals


The things he does are to help the country, not hurt it. The economy is doing gangbusters because of his policies.


How good the economy is doing is utterly irrelevant to his treason

But Trump said he did nothing illegal and never wanted quid pro quo. Now it's his way of working and great for the country?
Are you a Trump staffer with this doublethink?

It's not treason, it's personal corruption and abuse of power.

And in this specific context the personal corruption and power abuse was treasonous.

Funneling US taxes into your own businsesses is an abuse of power.
Withholding senate approved foreign aid to make other world leaders dig up dirt on your rivals to try and tarnish them to make it easier to be elected is treason.

<quote>Hyperbolic use of the word treason just makes you look unserious and then people not inclined already to agree with you will not lend you any credibility.
</quote>

Not my fault if you choose to ignore reality.

"WE won't agree with you unless you lie" isn't a stance I want to adopt. Trump commited treason. Defending him is pretty crazy and it makes me sad that people claiming to be conservatives do so. They should be the outraged ones.

Wrong. People like me get on you conservative, right-wing trolls because people like you love to troll by instigating/antagonizing posters by saying a lot of ignorant, dumb bullshit.

As long as you folks keep doing that, you will continue to get called out, modded & will continue to get suspended or even banned.

Ok, please explain how Trump "levied War against the United States, or adhered to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort".
I'm not talking about the criminal definition of Article 3.

I'm talking about the 101 daily conversation definition of taing actions directly and intentionally harmful to your nation. Betraying the nation:

In law, treason is criminal disloyalty, typically to the state. It is a crime that covers some of the more extreme acts against one's nation or sovereign

You accuse others of being hyperbolic and then play that card?

Sure, I'll bite. Trump's actions against his nation for personal gain involving Ukraine don't violate Article 3, which is why the Impeacment isn't going under the crime of Treason. But that's not what anyone means (Including Trump himself) when they say that.

Although if you want to go down that pedantic route because you have no actual argument (A strange reoccuring factor of the guys poo pooing those opposed to the impeachment) Trump's support of Russia, North Korea (I wish Icould say Saudi Arabia but they are technically allies) and requests for them to hack America fits Article 3. So still applies. That's just not what he is being impeached for.

Unless you're going to say "No because we're not at war, therefore nothing he can ever do is Treason." which would be the eptiome of hyperliteral usage of words and not a defense of any of Trump's actions.

Right now the White House, Trump's White House is trying to stop bipartisan sanctions from the Senate against Russia for election meddling. Trump is a Russian asset one way or the other. I can't even say he's just a useful idiot anymore because nobody can be this dumb. He's owned by Putin.

Gohmert said it best responding to Nadler claiming he's a Russian agent.

Strange I don't see Obama asking or offering anything there.

Additionally I want to point out that quid pro quos are actually legal so long as both the quid and quo are objects of national interest and not, say, election interference and extortion.

He did it for personal political gain, and he used his personal attorney to conduct questionable politics and business dealings in Ukraine.

Also he and Giuliani have been peddling literally Russian-originated conspiracy theories about Ukraine this whole time.

"The economy is doing gangbusters because of [him]"
