Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Treason is punishable by death we need to set some examples

I mean, his entire family are foreign agents. Shit the stuff they were trying to get Hunter Biden on in Ukraine actually is happening with Saudi Arabia and Jared kushner

This is also your daily reminder that Donald j Trump current president of the United States and best friends with Jeffrey r Epstein raped children.

And it looks like Epstein had significant interaction and bank rolling with Israel and Russian intelligence assets. Shit runs deep.

“The NSA does not monitor individuals without a reason.”

Ya know, I'm glad the NSA intercepted this particular call, as I want to see Trump go down by any means plausible.

But I got this nagging feeling that they should need more than vibes to intercept phone calls. Something that starts with a W? A weevil? A watch? A wagon? A walrus?

Eh, I'm sure it's not important. I'm sure it'll be another example of how the system allows this type of shit to happen while simultaneously making it difficult to fix within the system....because the system isn't broken, it's doing exactly what it's supposed to. At this point it cannot self-heal. It cannot be fixed from within. It needs to be put down like the rabid dog that it is.

We need to accept that, and prepare for difficult times ahead.

Let it trickle, and by the time it's all out, no one gives a shit that their feet are wet.

See: Epstein Files.

Yes, anyone with a brain, and I realize that's not enough people, knows that the United States has been infiltrated and is being dismantled by foreign actors.

We don't need any more news, we need consequences. Everyone who knows knows, everyone who doesn't care will never care, and worst of all our enemies laugh while they watch from afar.

Obligatory fuck Tulsi Gabbard. Traitorous cunt.

Cool cool, what's the constitutional penalty for Treason again?

[–] Dragomus@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

There were various suspicious foreign phone calls in/leading up to his first presidency ... in the end it was all ignored, I'd be surprised if this got treated differently now.

No, when he said you 'weren't wanted' he didn't mean it legally.

What is the opposite of Surprised Pikachu? Nonplussed Numel?

Unfortunately, that could be so very many people - professional relationships, personal relationships, and even family :/

To a foreign intelligence agent, though?
