Evan McMullin on Trump: "I've always been fascinated by traitors..."

[highplainsdem]

This was McMullin's response yesterday to Trump's inane lie that he's been FAR tougher on Russia than Obama and Clinton:

I’ve always been fascinated by traitors. They consider themselves highly intelligent, yet fail to understand how likely they are to be caught. When they are, they become men without a home, having betrayed their countrymen and been used by an enemy. So it will be with this one.

1. make it easy for McMullin to study traitors ...

Put traitor Trump, McConnell, Ryan, McCarthy, and others in cages for years of study.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. All listed are aides and abettors in Trump's crimes.......

They should be shamed in public and in the halls of Congress.

6. Don't forget Pence

[Hermit-The-Prog]

7. make Pence happy

Put him in a dungeon with an iron maiden and give him a cat o nine tails.

20. No! He needs to be punished. Put him in a cell with his wife. nt

2. I'm struck by how Cohen, Manafort, and trump seem

to assume they are so [brashly] smart - and how dumb they apparently are, especially to think they can 'buffalo' the Mueller team.

[Scarsdale]

4. Don't forget

Graham, Don Jr., Ghoulianni and also Mulvaney.

10. Wanna play the game of the 'dozens'?

8. It was no accident of timing we learned of the counterintelligence FBI investigation of Donald Trump

Or that conclusions are open ended. This was the last gasp of the American Republic.

[Fuzzpope]

16. Totally agree

Yesterday felt like a coordinated assault by the media upon Trump.

Maybe it will be regarded as the msm's first step towards atonement for breathing life into this nightmare.

5. And they are always liars.

9. Politically-dead man walking? Maybe so. nt

[Pepsidog]

13. Hey Honeycomb quick question, what does "nt" mean after a post ?

[maddiemom]

14. That's all, folks! No Text.

[Pepsidog]

15. Thank you!

[Honeycombe8]

23. "no text".....

It means don't bother opening the post. I didn't write any text in the body. Just the subject line.

[SWBTATTReg]

11. We all have been accusing rump and some of his cronies traitors. Now we have others ...

outside of DU and the democratic party that also think this, and they are experts in this field, and highly intelligent, the FBI (and probably lots of others too).

And people are still going to believe what the orange baboon tells them in his stupid tweets? I've been the most toughest on the Russians, blah blah blah.

Time to encircle this piece of scum, pass legislation overwhelming to ignore and / or unseat this illegally elected president, take away the nuclear football, and ensure that the so called president is constantly under 24 hour guard/watch so he won't try any crap, such as hand over secrets (which he's probably already done).

He needs to be thrown in jail until he reveals what's he has done and/or provided the Russians so we can repair the damage. Take away everything he has, everything. Do all of this before he's either impeached/25th amendment/thrown out of office immediately.

[calimary]

18. THAT is what's remarkable now. And what's a cause for hope.

I was just marveling at how talk of impeachment and even treason - that talk is spreading everywhere! Beyond just Dem or liberal/progressive circles where you’d automatically expect it. It’s no longer the Voldemort of political subject matter (The Term That Must Not Be Named).

[Pepsidog]

12. True. Benedict Arnold was shunned by the English after betraying USA.

Nobody like traitors, even those who benefit from the traitors actions. Traitors are first and foremost cowards.

19. I'd be willing to bet

that Vlad would be most willing to throw IQ45 under the bus right now if he found him to be of no more use to him (and I'm also thinking that that time is quickly approaching).

[Phoenix61]

17. One might use a traitor but one will never,

ever trust a traitor. It's actually a fitting end for a Narcisist, scorned by everyone.

[duforsure]

21. trumps denials

And misleading claims from his own history of his serial lying makes it a lot more likely putins giving him his orders now. When he's exposed he and his family , and everyone else involved will e singing a completely different tune for what they've done.

[mastermind]

22. I've always been fascinated with cold war spying, spy tech

Michael Caine stared in some of my fave spy movies of the era, The Fourth Protocol being the best imho.

24. He has been "caught". I am still waiting for him to be punished. nt
