There used to be a time when this kind of shit led to a swift execution. Now we can’t even get the fuckface in jail.

Dude, that’s absolutely not true. After the Civil Fucking War numerous rebel generals went right back home and ran for high office. Others got jobs as professors or retired to lavish estates that were never broken up. Still others founded the KKK. The Feds let it happen then.
Also, let’s not forget Reagan feeding the Iranians intel during hostage negotiations. Or Bush evacuating Saudi officials after 9/11. Or any number of intelligence leaks from Congressman Nunes, Michael Flynn, Tom DeLay, the list goes on.
The only people we execute in this country are scapegoats, civil rights activists, and the poor. Actual traitors get to walk damned near every time.
Look further back in time in the history of the entire world, dude.
Oh no, the poor CIA agents. Anyways
Man. What a traitor. Anyway, is anyone down to start America 2.0 somewhere else with me if he wins?? We’ll call it “no billionaires or Republicans allowed world” or something and our president will be the cutest femboy judged by votes obviously
Fine but I’m not going out like that bitch Aaron Burr
Will human/animal hybrid research be legal?
No.
Okay, but just hear me out.
We need the former to reach the latter, tho.
Thats very nice but does someone have a link that does not contain butchered fonts?
Yes! Reposting here.
We’re they losing their shit over some emails?
But only over Clinton’s emails, not W’s emails.
Yeah I’m sure it all could be a coincidence but this is trump.
Trump is an enemy spy and a traitor. You be the judge of what should happen to him
Non Trump supporters are aware of this and already aren’t voting for him. It’s his supporters that will ignore this because they don’t care. They will vote for him regardless. Lots of them are voting against their own best interests.
Fuck Trump, Fuck Russia, Fuck the CIA.
Its wild how a very rational anger and fear and concern about a Trump presidency becomes a very irrational support for many corrupt and downright evil organizations responsible for millions of deaths in the name of imperialism and profit.
Correlation does not indicate causation.
Though in this case, I think it does. It really does.
You mean post hoc ergo propter hoc.
And the argument here isn’t logical, it’s heuristic.
Please explain what this means? The rhetoric concepts I mean, not the subject matter
Post hoc ergo propter hoc means “after this therefore because of this”. The name of the fallacy is the claim the arguer is making, that because one event happened soon after another event, it was caused by the earlier event. A common example is that deciduous trees lose their leaves after it gets cold, so they lose their leaves because it gets cold. The actual reason is complex and has little to do with temperature. It’s partly that day lengths get shorter and the leaves no longer can absord enough energy to match their costs.
It is similar to correlation doesn’t equal causation, but is more specific that it has to do with two events that happen at similar times, which is specifically called out in the tweet.
That the argument is heuristic and not logical is that logic has a pretty limited use - where you can reasonably agree on premises to make a specific type of argument that relies on how that argument is constructed. Heuristics rely on probability, what’s the most likely outcome given a set of preceding causes, or what are the most likely causes given a following event. For example most problems in my line of work are from loose connections, so it’s the first thing I look for when something is going wrong. You can’t say “because I see this event it is logically this cause” but you can say “When I’ve seen this event before 80% of the time it was cause A, 15% of the time it was cause B, and 5% of the time it was cause C. So I’ll check them in order of likelihood”
So the tweet isn’t making a logical claim. They’re saying it’s unlikely that Trump talked to Putin about informants, requested the list of informants, had a list of informants in an unsecured place, but somehow wasn’t related to those informants being compromised.
EDIT: Also Wikipedia has a better explanation of pheph: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_hoc_ergo_propter_hoc
Many thanks!
Makes me wonder how far gone our intelligence community is. These are some of their own and they’ve done nothing to slow the spread of authoritarian bullshit. Ten bucks says they want an autocracy because there is some power they think they can weild that they think will give them complete control.
takes off tin foil hat
Wtf how did this get here? Damn aplphabets.
Lol, maybe the guys at the top. But the career people were unofficially pretty vocal about not liking him.
The question is hasn’t anyone in the CIA have the “need” to make Trump stop breathing? They don’t need much to “remove from the equation” other presidents from other countries.
I think its most likely that these orgs have factions competing for power and personal advantage,some people are going to think Trump is going to further their interests, others not so much. Some real ghouls probably recognize that Trump only wants power for himself which is a threat to their power.
I’m not an expert though, I just had a very interesting conversation with a civilian Air Force consultant, who said that his org wasn’t very factional, but was very hierarchical. He was worried about very regressive figures coming to power because it affected the whole org, saying that the military had to stay cutting edge or we would face defeat, and hardcore conservative ideologues, or people like Trump who only care about their own wealth and status, tend to resist advancements and new methods.
Probably why tankies LOVE diaper don so much.

You don’t understand, he’s not a traitor to everyone, he’s standing up for ‘Real America’ against the real enemies, the libruls, the immigrants and the queers.
If you can’t understand that then you must not be A Real American.
But aren’t CIA also real americans?
Obviously not. Well, only if they’re on the right side at the time.
Here’s a good picture of a Real American:
Just look at all that patriotism.
This guy probably just received a few months in jail, if even that. Even standing there with a flag identifying himself as a Confederate soldier, AKA enemy combatant. That is the Battle Flag of the Confederate Army and Navy, they should not be given any more leniency than we would give soldiers of other countries threatening our officials and taking over the Capitol building.
In 4+ years of war, 600k union troops died to prevent that flag from flying in those halls.
That is THE ultimate disgrace on their sacrifice.
And the south just walks it off.
That flag is an abomination, and they fly it just to show the rest of the country, and black people everywhere that they still have 0 remorse for their crimes against humanity.
I’m not surprised that Trump has obviously committed high treason. That has been blindingly obvious since that Helsinki meet.
I’m surprised that he did it in a way that didn’t leave a trail of evidence leading him to being executed.
The treason here would be in the moral sense, not the legal sense. He was President at the time he handed over the lists, and the secrecy of these lists derive from the power of the executive in the first place. He could hand out whatever classified documents he wanted to anyone, and it’s 100% legal. Even without the Supreme Court recently expanding the “official acts” coverage, this would be easily covered.
Congress could have impeached him for it, but we all know how that would go. Voters rejecting him is the only real remedy.
He did not have the right to keep those docs at Mar-a-lago, however.
The media should be giving this far more attention than they ever gave to Hillary’s emails.
I’m not quite sure that President is above the law until impeached, and that’s what I see in your message
Then you read it wrong. This is a place where it really isn’t illegal when the President does it, because the President is allowed to simply choose what is classified in the first place.
Shouldn’t the president first choose to declassify then? Or is it ok for the president to choose ad-hoc to declassify for someone specifically without even informing anyone else?
Should? Perhaps. An awful lot of powers of the President should be scaled back.
I’m not sure this one can without big changes to the system.
When the raid that killed Bin Laden was announced, Obama simply decided to do that. The operation was classified right up to the moment Obama sent that message.
There are multiple trails of evidence to multiple treasons. Unfortunately the country is ridden with Repubs shielding him from justice. Repubs hate America since it is not yet a Christofascist dictatorship.
It’s like the Republicans saw the efforts made by scientology and were like: Wait a minute?
I don’t think its so much that he didn’t leave a trail as it is that he cronyized the institutions meant to hold him accountable.
Again stop accusing Trump of good things. Killing or having killed CIA agents and American spies is a net good.
Not if it’s because Russia is killing em. Trump deserves the worst punishment the army has ever dished out for committing the worst and most acts of treason in history. His crimes against humanity, the US and the west are uncountable, quite literally. Saying he committed treason is an insult to treason. The fact that he isn’t detained or shot on sight demonstrates America’s weakness and why the west must stop relying on it and stand on its own 2 feet.
True, Trump in return should ask for a list of russian spies worldwide so we can get rid of them as well.
True them he should do the same for all american allies and enemies so he all spies are eliminated.
And then everyone will live happily ever after and nothing bad will ever happen.
