Reagan Posted 16 hours ago Author Report Posted 16 hours ago 8 hours ago, baddog said: You are correct. It is called sedition. I will use my terms accordingly. "Article III, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution defines treason against the United States as either levying war against them or giving aid and comfort to their enemies. It also states that a person can only be convicted of treason based on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act or a confession in open court, and Congress has the power to declare the punishment for treason." This levying war, not only war but the courts have used rebellion also, could be with bullets are actions taken by individuals against the US (rebellion) through subterfuge. I would think that what obama and his cronies did to sabotage a Presidency and have attempted coup against a sitting President could possibly defined an act of war. I did a little research. Examples: Based on available records, treason convictions in the U.S. have almost always occurred during or in connection with recognized wars or rebellions that courts treated as equivalent to "levying war." For example: Whiskey Rebellion (1794): Two individuals, John Mitchell and Philip Weigel, were convicted of treason for their roles in an armed uprising against federal tax collection in Pennsylvania. This was not a war with a foreign enemy but an internal rebellion, interpreted as "levying war" against the United States. Both were pardoned by President George Washington. Aaron Burr’s Conspiracy (1807): Burr was tried for treason for allegedly plotting to seize territory and form a separate nation. The Supreme Court, under Chief Justice John Marshall, acquitted Burr, ruling that conspiracy alone did not constitute "levying war" unless there was an actual assemblage of armed forces. This case, though not resulting in a conviction, occurred outside a formal war and clarified that treason requires overt acts, not just planning. Shays’ Rebellion (1786-1787): John Bly and Charles Rose were convicted of treason and hanged for participating in an armed uprising in Massachusetts against state authorities. This was prosecuted under state law, not federal, and occurred before the U.S. Constitution was ratified, but it was considered "levying war" against the state. Thomas Dorr (1844): Dorr was convicted of treason against Rhode Island for leading an armed attempt to overthrow the state government during the Dorr Rebellion, a non-war context involving a dispute over suffrage. He was sentenced to life in prison. John Brown (1859): Brown was convicted of treason against Virginia for his raid on Harpers Ferry, an attempt to incite a slave rebellion. This was prosecuted under state law and occurred in a non-war context, though it was treated as "levying war" against the state. While state-level convictions like those of Dorr and Brown occurred in non-war contexts (rebellions treated as "levying war" against the state), federal treason convictions have consistently been tied to wartime or rebellion scenarios. So, yes, either treason or sedition can be used concerning obama and others. baddog 1 Quote

So, yes, either treason or sedition can be used concerning obama and others. SCOTUS has ruled that motives can’t be questioned for official acts of a POTUS. This was an official act by Obama. It wasn’t an attack on America itself. It was a political hit job. Very different. This doesn’t mean others are protected in the same fashion as the SCOTUS ruling only applies to POTUS. But, I still don’t see treason or sedition being applied. I could see some type of falsifying documents charge for those involved besides Obama. Only the far right fringe would say differently. Just another flashy object that continues to help erode the people’s trust in their government. Trump would do well to take away all their security clearances immediately which is in his authority. I believe he already has for Brennan. Not sure on others. I’d also make sure Obama (and Clinton/s) was not allowed any classified info. He’s a simple civilian now like the rest of us. Quote

OBBB, they're excited bout adding debt lol Midterms should be interesting. Hopefully gridlock As has been said by others, both sides spend too much. But, the Freedom Caucus—which aligns closest to a limited government/libertarian view—had to be promised more clawbacks to get their support for the OBBB. So, one side is fighting to maintain government control over almost every segment of our lives, and the other side is at least making an attempt to return to federalism. It’s not really a hard choice right now. Might not be ideal. But, a clear difference. Gridlock is typically good. But, it won’t help shrink the deficit—if that’s your concern. It would just maintain status quo. If OBBB hadn’t passed, our economy very likely would have gone into a recession because of the tax increases. Reagan 1 Quote

I respect your view and opinion... as you've stated on here multiple times u didn't vote. Same with me. You'd think if it was a no brainer one would go vote right? Gridlock is definitely good, no it wouldn't shrink deficit. Above it all it wouldn't add to the deficit which is obviously better than the alternative! Add debt to keep us out of recession... smart SMDH Quote

(very rare) Based on your above quote you should of voted for Trump in 2016. He was accused of not being a Republican. He stood up against the Republican party, and he certainly stands his ground. He is not afraid to call someone out. The country may be divided, which is really debatable considering he is the first Republican since Regan to win the popular vote.

Add debt to keep us out of recession... smart SMDH Some of the debt was ‘supposedly added’ because of parliamentarian rules not allowing some of the offsetting cuts. I say ‘supposedly’ because CBO uses static numbers & doesn’t calculate in possible growth due to cuts in regulation, onshoring, and other investments. It’s been proven throughout American history that lower taxes ALWAYS returns more money to the government’s coffers. thetragichippy 1 Quote
baddog Posted 3 hours ago Report Posted 3 hours ago I think it is pathetic that individuals who went after Trump with fabricated lies to undermine his presidency got away with it until now. I think it even more pathetic how many Americans were duped into believing it with the help of MSM. People will allow their hatred for one man to override their logical thinking and be a part of the division of this country. You believed these lies and have no remorse for being part of it, yet you will post on social media about your concerns for America. Only scoundrels can attempt such hypocrisy. I lived through Watergate and watched it consume my tv for months, including Nixon’s impeachment. I was young and didn’t realize how important it really was and the effect it had on my country. Looking back, Nixon should have been jailed, not simply allowed to step down. Obama, Hillary, and all involved in this hoax should get severe sentences. The truly sad part is that no democrats ever questioned anything. All were in lockstep to “GET TRUMP”and it has infected all of their followers. Smoke and mirrors is very effective for those weak minded enough not to question, and blinded by hate. Quote

It is hard to predict history, but here is what I think. There are true historians. I think 10-20 years down the line Trump will be studied more than most Presidents. He totally changed how politics is done. One thing that sticks out to me is his use of twitter. Initially, most, if not all politicians thought twitter was unprofessional. Trump received a lot of hate for using twitter, and especially how rude and direct he was. Well, 5-6 years later, all politicians use twitter and most of them are rude and direct. I think the studies will uncover the dishonesty of the Obama administration, along with the bad apples of the FBI and DOJ.....While Obama and Hillary will never see criminal charges, I believe their legacy will be about the scandal and Trump, and not about any of the "good" things they may have accomplished......and to me, that is Karma....... and the fact it has to do with Trump, that is like double karma......

I hope history will remember Trump more for resetting world trade. That would mean his tariff gambit worked, the U.S. remained the economic juggernaut with the standard for currency, and the American people were better off from a security, employment, and personal financial position.

Reagan Posted 1 hour ago Author Report Posted 1 hour ago Obama’s Real Legacy Comes into Focus. From the article: "Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard set off fireworks on Friday when she accused former president Barack Obama of organizing a coup d’état against his successor. Summarizing the damning evidence in her possession, Gabbard concluded, “These documents detail a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people.” Treason is a capital offense with no statute of limitations. So consider how explosive Gabbard’s allegations are. The senior official in charge of all American Intelligence is stating unequivocally that Obama and his loyal subordinates sabotaged the peaceful transfer of presidential power in 2016, betrayed the American people, and made war against the legitimate government of the United States. Gabbard just dropped the “Mother of All Bombs” on Obama’s White House syndicate, the Intelligence Community, and the globalist Deep State." This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Quote

All these people duped into thinking Trump stole the election, yet criticized Trump for saying Biden stole it. How pathetic. Quote
