I don’t doubt your sincerity. However, has it occurred to you that you’re as emotional (and irrational) about this issue as the morons who imbibe FoxNews are, albeit at the opposite end of the political spectrum? Trump is doing no more damage to this country than the preceding presidents who have advanced the power of the executive branch at the expense of the legislature. I could be wrong of course, but the sky isn’t falling yet. Also, very dubious that he’s a traitor. He isn’t really soft on Russia militarily or economically. I just don’t see it

I've enjoyed your posts in the past so I won't give this quite the treatment it deserves. Here's the oath I swore when I became a third generation member of the United States Army:
"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
First line, defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. I'm no longer in the Army but I never unswore that oath. And if the greatest threat to the Constitution is actually the sitting president, it puts our country in a tough position. What to do? Would such a course of action be arrived at through emotion?
If you say I'm irrational, demonstrate my irrationality. You're incapable of doing so because you are a guy who posts on a 20-year-old elf sim forum and doesn't have any actual impact on American political life. I was mentored by a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and am currently associated with another journalist who has direct sources in the USIC. You say you just don't see it. The intelligence community is unanimous in its conclusion that Russia attacked our Democracy. It's not my conclusion you're questioning, it's theirs. So tell us, what do you know that the IC doesn't?
