Mueller’s Guilty Until Proven Innocent Standard ‘Not The Standard We Use’ At DOJ

The left doesn't want due process. Due process, like the 2nd amendment, gets in the way of their agenda and they know it.

Spying Is Spying

And these treasonous fools needs to be flushed out, tried and if convicted need to be executed as per the law. To not do this sets a precedent that will hasten the spiral of revenge politics.

Use of Spy Tools Against Political Campaigns a ‘Serious Red Line’

But using them against citizens is okay??? Wow, double standard much? Anti-Constitution much?

Russia Collusion Conspiracy Theory Was ‘Bogus’

But we all knew that all along. If it was about collusion, Mueller wouldn't have been given such a wide range of authority to investigate literally anything.

Resistance Is ‘Shredding Our Institutions’

Accelerationism so I'm fine with it, for now. I don't like it, it's wrong but I'm sick and tired of the festering rot in Washington.

As for your comments, you made me look up accelerationism onlilne. Damn, that gives me a lot to think about.

IKR? The current system has been played and cornered to the point that it cannot function the way it was intended and no amount of reshuffling of politicians, parties, or policies will fix it. To that end, we need a kind of an "ultimate gamechanger." This is why I support Trump and what he does. I hate a lot of it but I recognize that these things need to change and if we do what we've always done, we'll get what we've always gotten. The only way forward is to do things that are contrary to established practices.

Unsurprisingly, democrats tend to be wholly against this, largely because "they were winning" that journey. And, as Jordan Peterson so eloquently put it, the Church of Blue is falling. That is a reference to how democrats gain immense power through civil rights movements, having championed it despite being the party against said civil rights.

They know that this represents a fundamental shift which will completely shatter the party and the way things are done and they will fight to the point of violence to preserve it. To wit, how many MAGA hat wearers have been assaulted in the last 2 years? The pendulum will swing back and the next time democrats take control, they will not be prepared for the amount of violence that will be pointed at them courtesy of their own examples now. But if you point this out, you are one linked to one of those six words the democrats like to use (Nazi, Klan, Racist, Russian, Rape, Child) in a denegrative manner with a neat little kafkatrap package. They just double down.

Hence the need for accelerationism.

I find myself leaning this way more and more.

Hence the need for accelerationism.

This way, too...

Sortition is an interesting approach. There was a shooter some time back who did it to advocate for the cause, but it honestly doesn't sound any worse than what we have right now.

Seditious or treasonous? Personally I think it's more likely to be seditious not treasonous. If it's truly treason then what foreign government are they assisting? I don't think either side is acting on behalf of a foreign government which is why I think it's sedition.

Russian bots, who else? I mean if it works for them, why not everyone else?

So if the CIA or NSA are running a counterintelligence operation under the guise of "Russian bots" then that should be sedition, right?

I think treason is the right word.

treason
n. The betrayal of allegiance toward one's own country, especially by committing hostile acts against it or aiding its enemies in committing such acts.
n. The betrayal of someone's trust or confidence.
n. A betraying; treachery; breach of faith.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

That's the definition of treason according to the Constitution, which is why I'm saying it's sedition. Either way both are dependent on which area of the political spectrum you are on. I'm sure the founding fathers could be hooked up to harvest electricity as much as they are rolling in their graves.

I think this one mighth might be my favorite:

Words Don’t Need to Be Retired Because Trump Uses Them

“[S]ome former intelligence chiefs have said that the president has made that word somewhat pejorative, that there is spying, this is a witch hunt, this is a hoax, and so your use of that word makes it seem that you are being a loyalist,” Crawford said. Barr responded, “You know, it’s part of the craziness of the modern day that if a president uses a word, then all of a sudden it becomes off bounds. It’s a perfectly good English word, I will continue to use it.”

Edit: I can't spell.
