The New York Slimes ^ | October 2, 2019 | Katie Rogers

But experts see a civic danger in the president frequently and falsely calling out what he labels treasonous behavior. Carlton F.W. Larson, a professor at the University of California at Davis School of Law and an expert on treason, said the president had cheapened the word through overuse.

"It is a complete debasement of political discourse where ordinary political disagreements are elevated to a level of capital crime,” Mr. Larson said. “If Trump ever did uncover an instance of true treason, no one would believe him because he has so debased the meaning of that word.”

IF anyone knows about the debasement of the meaning of words, it’d be a communist lib. IE: “racist”, “professor” “fair share”, etc.

How dare he fight back. He is expected to hide in the broom closet outside the oval office and keep his mouth shut. However, Maxine Waters, Pencil neck Shiff, Nadler, and all the rest of the Democrats can spew venom and lies with no repercussions.

How does one get to be an “expert” on treason? Does he have that printed on his business cards?

Sedition and treason is what The Coup Cabal are involved in

Trump as usual is correct

Dear NY Slimes,

Impeachment is NOT moving forward. This is a media driven freak show. I can’t wait for your tears November 2020.

Yours,
Skooz

Democrats worried impeachment is being lost on the American people. They can’t explain it in a soundbite.

Its all President Trump’s fault he’s fighting back against the risible nonsense they’ve concocted.

Return of the term “dark”.
The word was the most persuasive against Trump last election.

Defending yourself against baseless charges now falls under the heading of "obstruction of justice".

This Will Totally Destroy Trump! (Volume MCXXXVII)
townhall.com ^ | 9/23/2019 | Kurt Schlichter
Posted on 9/23/2019, 9:59:43 AM by rktman

“Well, ________________ is going to totally be the thing that lets us crucify Trump! Yeah, Russia flopped and his alleged Nazi-ness failed and that weasel ex-lawyer/convict of his struck out, but we promise – this time, ___________ is going to bring him down!”

So saith CNN, the Times, the gang at LonelyNeckbeardedLeftistLoser.com and the rest of the cabinboy media, along with the carb-curious Fredocon dorks and the surviving furries, pseudo-Cherokees and other assorted Democrat weirdos currently wandering about in Iowa pestering farmers to join them for selfies. There’s always a new _____________, except the “bring him down” part just never seems to happen.

No coffee for the liberal establishment, because coffee is for closers (NSFW language, sissies). These geebos have been trying to close the deal since 2015, but all they have to do it with are the Rio Rancho leads – they never get the Glengarry leads that will put a stake through the heart of the Bad Orange Man.

A recent DOJ statement contains the following morsel:

“A DOJ team led by US Atty John Durham is separately exploring the extent to which a number of countries, including Ukraine, played a role in the counterintelligence investigation directed at the 2016 Trump campaign. While the AG has yet to contact Ukraine in connection with this investigation, certain Ukrainians who are not members of the government have volunteered information to Mr. Durham...”

UT, OH-———and this.

NOTE
<><> Andrii Telizhenko, was then a political officer at Ukraine’s embassy ... dont know what he does now.
<><> Chalupa was a contractor hired by the DNC during the 2016 election.

Over lunch at a Washington restaurant, Chalupa told Telizhenko in stark terms what she hoped the Ukrainians could provide the DNC and the Clinton campaign......... according to his account.

“Chalupa said the DNC wanted to collect evidence that Trump, his organization and Manafort were (A) Russian assets, (B) working to hurt the U.S. and (C) working with [Russian President Vladimir] Putin against the U.S. interests.

“Chalupa indicated if we could find the evidence they would introduce it in Congress in September and try to build a case that Trump should be removed from the ballot, from the election,” he recalled.

FEC records show Chalupa’s firm, Chalupa & Associates, was paid $71,918 by the DNC during the 2016 election cycle.

>>> “It is a complete debasement of political discourse...”<<<

When James Clapper and others on CNN, NYT, and other democrat media outlets said PDJT was a traitor, Nazi, terrorist, racist, and fascist?
