Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason
18 USC §2381
You missed the next part "unless it's election season, or they held office at the time, because then it might be official treason, and that's okay."
Unless they are a Republican and hold office.
Those laws only apply to poor people who whistleblow about the oligarchies crimes.
No, this law was last used to prosecute Cold War spies.
Snowden was prosecuted for leaking national secrets, not treason. To be fair, he is technically guilty, but it would be a travesty of justice for him to be punished for it. I'm glad the Justice Department decided to let him off.
And all of his supporters too.
Yes but irrelevant here
He’s just making fun of Biden
I find it weird how he supports our biggest adversary like this.
You do? This is pretty much expected if you've been paying attention to him. Putin's cock is deep in his mouth.
Well yeah, I mean.. since when isn't it expected for Trump to be weird?
I don't think it's his or anyones specific surprise by this behavior. For me, it's surprising that people seem to just let him do it and seem like it's normal, which only normalizes it further.
I bet putin has sex tapes of donnie the connie commie.
They've got video of the time Trump paid sex workers to urinate on pictures of the Obamas in a hotel room they once stayed in.
I don’t think releasing that would even hurt him that much. His supporters would either call it fake news or celebrate it as „owning the libs“. Or both.
So weird
Oh lordy, I hope there's tapes.
For people who didn't read the article, it's sarcastic because they think attacking Biden will weaken Harris.
That's not what sarcastic means
Trump is the Alanis of sarcasm
The article name is inappropriately deceptive.
Idk, my first reading on the title’s quote was as being a backhanded compliment directed at Biden, but that might just be because I always expect Trump to be a spiteful fuck
Jesus fucking Christ. I can’t believe this is the best the Republican Party has to offer.
Nobody loves communism more than Trump.
He loves the hexbearian/.ml flavor, where its still an authoritarian imperialist shit-hole run by a despot.
But the flags say we're unified or whatevs
Not much of a flavor change if communism is vanilla, socialism is chocolate and state capitalism is cyanide
Russia hasn't been communist since I was a small child.
I'm old.
Can't tell if you're joking or ate the anti-communism-propaganda a donald trump would feed you with
/s?
Nobody loves an authoritarian dictatorship more than trump.
Nobody’s done actual communism, even the USSR’s lip service to it was mostly just running a dictatorship.
What a fucking little quisling.
