Wait, so Trump asked Kid fucking Rock for advice on how to deal with North Korea?
I can't
I can't fucking even begin to describe what I'm feeling or thinking right now
How else do you propose countering Dennis Rodman?
Little known fact, one of the reasons Kim finds his friendship with Rodman so helpful is that when NK missiles fail and start to crash Rodman counts the rotations and tells them where they’ll be able to pick it up.

The FBI is investigating an "unprecedented" number of threats against bureau personnel and property in the wake of the search of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, including some against agents listed in court records as being involved in the recent search, a law enforcement source tells CNN.
Leopard, meet face.
Maybe don't carry water for the fascist asshole next time you jerks.
Imagine being educated long enough to be a lawyer and still being stupid enough to sign a sworn statement saying your boss has turned over the shit he def hasn’t
This person is not having a good time right now

Not in the legal, "Congress has declared war" sense, which is what's required for treason to be a thing.

if you think that's a silly legal technicality, it sure is!
Ahhh, I see. Yeah, that's definitely a silly technicality!
Still, it fuckin sucks how much we've been fighting other people. Can we just give it a break for a few hundred years and spend the time, money, and effort on fixing our own stuff instead? I sure would like to see all that go towards homelessness, making sure people are fed, improving schools, improving healthcare, etc. Oh well, I guess being the country known for killing and imprisoning people is what I'll have to settle for
Not that I think treason charges (or really any consequences for his actions) are likely, but isn't the 2001 AUMF still in effect? I guess that wouldn't count either?

Nope, has to be an actual declaration ratified by Congress and President both. IIRC June of 1942 is the last time one was issued that could instantiate the ability to use the treason statute, and that was just us declaring war on Hungary. Bulgaria, and Romania so all of the European Axis nations were fair game.

Joe Biden will pardon Trump hoping it will get him some of those Republican votes he's been working so hard to earn, forgetting entirely that there's more votes to be had with leftist policies he's been ignoring his entire life.

At this point, I don't think I care what happens to Trump, so long as he doesn't run in 2024.
For clarity, it's not that I don't think he deserves punishment, I just don't think he'll receive any.
I...don't know if I want that or not. Right now the Republican nomination is going to either Trump or DeSantis, guaranteed, and the latter is so much more dangerous than Trump ever was capable of. He is the competent fascist that people feared would arise after Trump proved the lack of consequences. Right now Trump and DeSantis are at odds with each other because they're both narcissistic, power-hungry, dictator wannabes who can both command the alt-right base and they will infight relentlessly until that nomination is secured whereupon the loser will try to sabotage the winner out of spite. This may be the best way to blunt the effectiveness of the Republican party come 2024, if November of this year doesn't just sink everything.
On a moral viewpoint, I absolutely want Trump to be punished because he's evaded karma his entire goddamn life. On a pragmatic viewpoint, I wonder if him remaining free is the better choice so that he can keep the Republican party in chaos going into the presidential elections, essentially "lose the battle to win the war" kind of thing.

Just to clarify some terms. Espionage Act does not necessarily mean espionage, it also covers willful mishandling which also sounds like Trump
Who is responsible for making something with Espionage in the name, a word that explicitly means collecting information via spying methods, that doesn't cover actual espionage? I have a wedgie to give them utilizing the nearest flagpole.

Congress has never been good at writing laws
Well I can only give one wedgie at a time. And there just aren't enough flagpoles in close enough proximity.

Wait until you hear about what's in the Patriot Act.
if you think that's a silly legal technicality, it sure is!
Well, it's not a real requirement, or at least as far as I know no one has ever tried to use that theory in court in defense of a treason charge.
The Whiskey Rebellion leaders and John Fries all got treason charges, (and all pardoned rather than overturned through the courts) and they basically organized armed tax strikes.
There needs to be a war going on in order for a person to commit treason, but it can be a "war" they started themselves with like a hundred guys in dumb outfits. (lookin' at you, Merrick)
It is very silly overall in the context of the 21st century, just not in this specific way.

to be entirely fair it wasn't entirely without cause
turns out my dad, who was a truck driver, had gotten mixed up with Mexican drug cartels* to run a ludicrous amount of marijuana
my sister and I were put into foster care for several months until my dad agreed to become an informant
I didn't know about some of this until like 18 years later
*I always hesitate to say this because "mexican drug cartels" is such a racist dogwhistle but like in this case it's literally true

also I've had kind of a weird life

This sounds like exaggeration. Are you sure you're not being...

That's our secret though.
We're always at war.
Yeah, hasn't the US been at war more often than it hasn't?

There's a limit to how much a lawyer is willing to put up with, especially from clients who have a habit of not paying.

well the Espionage Act is from 1917
