    It seems you might be right. I really don’t want that dude around any longer. I think we can beat the libbies without him. He’s too old, too brash and lacks discipline. I like the counter punch and then sit back and wait.
    Trump doesn’t understand the wait part.

    This is so stupid. I don't understand your obstinance or desire to waste everyone's time.

    Every time someone says 'treason' in a non-legal context you whip out this childish query. Do you think you're being clever or this is some sort of gotcha? I've answered your question in the past with a 'no'. I have no idea what you think that proves. Treason is not the best charge to make against j6'rs.

    For the love of all that is holy, what is your point?

    In my mind, I read words to their literal meaning.

    Using emotional driven labels while making inaccurate claims isn't going to do anything to "mend" any fences.

    Desantis is a mini me of trump.

    Took away Reedy Creek from Disney because they spoke out about his overreach. Now will the residents of Orange and Osceola counties have to pay for Disney to have decent roads, police and fire stations?

    CRT is not taught in our public schools, yet he passed a vague law about not hurting little white kids feelings with what little history we teach

    Stop woke act - Again, a law where there is no there there. Plus he included businesses from having sensitivity training.

    He has allocated more money to privately owned "Schools" for vouchers. These school's teachers are for the most part not even educated. They aren't held accountable for what they teach the kids. You can't find a single top quality private school on the list of "schools" that accept vouchers.
    Meanwhile we have teachers leaving the profession and Florida.

    Suspended a duly elected official because he said he wouldn't prosecute a woman who gets an abortion after 15 weeks

    Don't' say gay - this is a doozy. He banned free speech from teachers. Again another vague law that only causes confusion in the classroom. I bet those private schools getting my tax money can say whatever they want. Sex ed isn't taught until middle school, no one has ever tried to "indoctrinate" a child, it's just a fact based course that parents can opt their kid out of.

    Book bans - need I say more

    Survey that went out to everyone running for school boards to see if they agree with him.

    He uses millions of our tax dollars to fight our own voted and passed amendments in court.

    He has taken money from a fund to provide families with disabled children to fund his own agenda while the families wait years and years on a list. Some of the children die waiting. Then he refused expanded medicaid from the federal government which would have helped.

    Chastised a student at one of his speeches for wearing a mask. Less than transparent during the pandemic on Florida's numbers of infections and deaths.

    He's a petulant child, just like trump, just in a better package.

    The old part gets me. The right likes to harp on Biden being old and losing it. Trump would be 78 in 2024. I don't know a single 78 year old I want running our country. Let alone Trump

    My point is when an individual claims that Trump, his family, supporters and enablers are guilty of treason they should understand what they're actually saying.

    Do you have a problem with people understanding what they're saying?

    She was a subject of a vigorous investigation, was she not? So why is it outrageous for the DOJ to investigate trump as well?

    what is it with so many trump followers wanting to get guns and shoot people, or become violent (jan 6th) if an election doesn’t go their way or trump incites them? They keep talking about ‘civil war’ against….someone.

    The libbie agenda is a slippery slope. We already see gay stuff in almost every kid movie, show and Disney animated pictures. Everything is going the libbie way and very fast. It’s hard for libbies to see any other way, and they don’t seem to mind that it’s being flaunted and taught to our innocent children. I care about this deeply and Descantis gets it. He is getting out in front of the libbie avalanche. It’s not hard to understand.

    Ok, so as the mother of a gay son I couldn't disagree more. People are born gay, we can't teach them to be gay anymore than we can teach them to be straight.I have three sons, he is the middle one. He is the one that will work on his own car, watch college football, (Clempson) and beat the crap out of you. I raised them all the same. As a child, he knew he was gay. Gays need to see themselves on tv and represented in government, just like people of color and all people for that matter.

    So while you say "innocent children", in that group are gay children as well and you're harming them more than I think you realize when you want to eliminate them from sight.

    So when will the GOP get around to amending our laws to ensure that any defendant they admire gets a free pass since someone else in an unrelated matter was not punished to their satisfaction?

    Poetic Justice:

    Do you know when mishandling of classified material became a felony?

    In 2018, when Donald Trump signed off making it so.

    As the father of a 2.5 year old, all I get to watch on TV before 8 oclock is kids shows. Not once have I seen anything gay. I'm aware it's out there, but I think to say it's in everything is extreme.

    I have receipts!

    Here are the statements that precipitated your silly "charged with treason" challenges.

    ---

    "Quick question, have any of the protesters on January 6th been charged with treason?" -- You

    ---

    "Over zealous protest of perceived injustice versus treasonous violent attempt to overthrow Democracy led by an exiting loser president that has led to the brink of Democracy in America into question." -- @AndyGator

    "Quick question, have any of the protesters on January 6th been charged with treason?" -- You

    ---

    Did anyone above say "guilty of treason" as you lament? No.

    'treasonous' is often used as a synonym for betrayal.

    upload_2022-8-10_10-9-22.png

    You appear to be arguing how you think 'treasonous' should be used (prescriptivism) while ignoring how it's commonly used (descriptivism). Bad actor.

    On a side note, your gotcha that a crime was not committed because no one was charged is a non sequitur.

    In your mind it seems you had no answer to the question. Continue with your "grammar police" type gotcha as you wish with the sedition/treason , but noticeably you failed to answer the question.

    Reminds me of the hair splitting some like to trot out when the word democracy is used. Anyone who has ever taken a civics class gets it: we are a constitutional republic that is often referred to in a colloquial sense as a "democracy". Spare us the lecture.

    I'm arguing that the word treason should be used by it's definition and not by some slang or loose "commonly used" definition.

    There is a difference and you know it.
