The only other hope is that everyone takes a day out of their lives packs a lunch with lots of drinks and votes.

Vote Vote Vote like your country depends on it.

That's a very good argument, but the fact that it is an argument at all means the likelihood of consensus is probably low.

"But technically, no, because there is no defined war or enemy to whom to give aid and comfort. In fact, Trump himself is the enemy."

I mostly agree which is why I posed the question if it had to be an established physical enemy. HOWEVER, if the U.S. Constitution is the definition of "The United States" in that section, I think it gets murky.

Either way, it would be divine if some of these top level planners and inciters did real stints, and most importantly their cultists get the hint.

I still wish the officers would have sprayed the crowd like they were looting TVs in New Orleans during Katrina.

Give them a wake up call.

This is nothing special for Dolly Parton. You could do "Chuck Norris" jokes about her level of kindness. She's a millionaire that could easily be a billionaire but instead constantly uses her money to make the world a better place.

Here's Dollyism in a nutshell when talking about the "Dixie Stampede:" "When they said 'Dixie' is an offensive word, I thought, 'Well, I don't wanna offend anybody. This is a business. We'll just call it The Stampede,'" Parton said of the name change. "And you just do stuff not realizing, but as soon as you realize that it is a problem, you should fix it. Don't be a dumbass."

I see that as nebulous, down to the level of what "is" is. What is the "United States" in this manner? If it's the constitution or governmental institutions I would say it is treason. If it means "the people" or the landmass itself, it appears to get murky. You could argue going against the vote is going against the "people" if popular vote determined the presidency, but I don't know about when the electoral college is included.

Which is probably why no one has been charged with it, and likely nobody, no matter how high up will be. It's too hard to argue.

Here's another, more important legal question IMO: I know "treason" has specific definition(s), but can you commit treason without aiding another independent country? Much like the pre-formation of the Confederacy, more specifically, is a coup attempt considered treason?

I couldn't imagine as a third party observer, who has no knowledge of the U.S. political history, look objectively at the facts and not believe that these people committed the highest possible crime against their nation.

I'm getting my patent leather grave dancing tap shoes polished.

At least in a Family Guy cutaway sort of manner.

I loved the jerky machine/food dehydrator. The only downside is it took too long. It was a good product worth the money and he was a hell of a marketer.

I'm confused, he sounds like a perfect Republican if he wasn't just so darn Black.

Let's be real here.

"But I'm not talking about trailer trash republicans who hang rebel flags and signs of "---- biden" signs in their yard either. Perhaps those are important differences in those groups." - Eberly

I wonder why your country club Republicans you constantly defend vote the same way as the people you just referenced?

Because they are ALL part of a Death Cult, some people like steak, some like burger, they all kill the cow.

Wake the eff up!

Well, where were you on August 12th 1688?

Just as I freaking thought!

Look, I have seen many times through the years where you attempt to equivocate and ask rhetorical questions to fairly obvious facts among other tactics, and I call you out on it rather often.

And no, the DR is not my primary outlet for supporting Anti-Trumpism. Aside from the ballot box, the biggest thing I do is not type on a blog, it's vote with my wallet. I have always done that. The second thing I do is call lawmakers and other civic correspondence, which I do occasionally. And then a little bit of Facebook and DR, but it's a minor piece.

That was a bad argument.

"Again, what are you doing that I'm not?"

Besides refusing to legitimize them, associate with them, or acknowledge any validity to their worldview? I treat them like the extremists they are, I don't care how many of them there are, they are as extreme as ISIS and the Nazis

The general gist of everyone's beef against you Eberly is that while you oppose Trumpism, you don't work to actively stop it. You try to find some nuance or caveat that prevents you from saying the truth: these people are awful and they are destroying American society.

I don't care if other factors, factions, or ideas have the potential for damage also. We get that, there's room for debate, but not while we have a malignant potentially fatal societal illness bringing us ever closer to failed state status.

We are 60 percent there right now IMO.

Link?

Wait, I'll go first.

Nice try bot

How soon can we get a third dose? That's my biggest question.

Have you heard any inside intel JPW?

Personally, I can't figure out MB's raison d'etre for constantly arguing on here about this stuff. It's not as if he is going to convince anyone one with a lick of sense to his point of view.

It's one of two things: Either he is trying to convince himself, or he is doing this for money.

I posted this on my Facebook page earlier today after making a comment that it would be considered "quitting" in any other era or endeavor, yet her greatness is at such a high level she can quit whenever she wants and walk away the GOAT. Combined it was very perplexing. Champions don't usually quit and the lack of quit is what often separates the superstars from the champions.

I completely backtracked today and apologized for my premature judgment. No medal on Earth is worth risking becoming a paraplegic or quadriplegic.

It sucks though and definitely a bad look.

Agreed, I don't care if there's 80 million of them, they are traitors.

You can not support Republicans and support America at the same time.

Republicans are clearly trying to destroy America before your very eyes.

How much more evidence do you need?

Seriously? The gasoline is blaming the match?

GFY

Again, it's just one less potential murderer.

By definition.

So called atheists seem to know the Bible better than most so-called Christians.

Maybe it's not God, it's them.

Keep the faith, lose the trash.

Oh Effette being Effette,

You are preaching to Darwin Award historians.

Dumb Dude DIED, shocking.

One less potential murderer the way I see it. Sorry for his family's loss.

Get out of here you stupid bot. Did you know golfer Jon Rahm just tested positive for the second time in two months?

---- off, seriously ---- off you anti-human misinformation spreading disease factory.

Seriously ---- off.

In fact I petition RCADE to remove this POS for misinformation spreading.

Also hailing from NE Ohio, I grew up with Chief Wahoo. I like the name Guardians and the fact that the visual looks probably as close to "Indians" as you could get and still make sense, it was a smart decision.

HOWEVER; I do think the Cleveland Foster Parents rolls of the tongue a little easier. Guardians is so wordy.
