In reply to the discussion: Alexander Vindman answers Elmo in epic Bluesky thread [View all]genxlib
(5,715 posts)26. Someone should explain to these clowns
That treason has a very particular meaning in the Constitution
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
The only way that anyone should consider support of Ukraine treasonous would be if they were an enemy, Or in other words, if you were so far up Putin's ass that you considered the US to be allied with Russia and Ukraine the enemy.
But I don't really expect seriousness from him. The dude is clearly smart but he is entirely lacking in Emotional Intelligence. He is so immature that everything is game. Life is like one big dude-bro competition in middle school bullying. Now that he feels that he has been granted the power of the US government he is just upping his "game" to use more official language in his idiotic taunting.
It is the primary reason that I find him to be so unsuited for the DOGE role. Effectiveness, knowledge and conflicts of interests aside, he is simply too emotionally immature to be handed that kind of power.

I'm pissed it didn't hurt trump a bit. In fact, trump wears it as a badge of honor. Still pisses me off.
