Why Trump flippantly accusing Democrats of ‘treason’ is not a laughing matter (for Obama!)
WaPo ^ | February 6, 2018 | JAMES HOHMANN

President Trump said Monday that it was “un-American” and “treasonous” when some congressional Democrats did not applaud during last week's State of the Union address as he touted the low rates of black and Hispanic unemployment.

-- Obama used the word “treason” only twice during his eight years in office. Not coincidentally, he was discussing the rise of Trump both times. As the Republican primaries raged on in March 2016 and the establishment tried to block Trump from securing the nomination, Obama said during a fundraiser in Austin that their party wouldn’t be in that position if elected Republicans had not looked the other way for years while Trump falsely accused him of being from Kenya.

“As long as it was directed at me, they were fine with it. … Now, suddenly, we're shocked that there's gambling going on in this establishment,” Obama said. “What's happening in this primary is just a distillation of what's been happening inside their party for more than a decade. The reason that many of their voters are responding is because this is what's been fed through the messages they've been sending for a long time: that you just make flat assertions that don't comport with the facts; … that compromise is a betrayal; that the other side isn't simply wrong … but the other side is destroying the country or treasonous.

I’m almost afraid to click on it. I got stuck on a site I’d never been to just this morning and was trapped for a while..couldn’t get out.

I remember Tucker Carlson and Andrew Breitbart went to dinner at Ayers’ house. Breitbart was dead not long after that.

The Deep State controls the news media from the national level to our local levels. At all levels the Deep State mediots cover and protect their criminal rats and spew out Fake News. Their current attempts to derail the reality of FISA Gate is incredible.

The Deep State, also, controls our DOJ/FBI, most of Congress, all of their elected Democrats at every level and liberal judges across America. This is done by controlling the election funding at all levels, and the funding of the Fake News over real news at all levels, again, which controls the media at every level.

POTUS is sowing the seeds for the public discussion our country will be having in the next few months regarding ACTUAL treason. The treason of Obama, Clinton, and many others is about to be exposed. By broaching the subject of treason in a joking way, Trump has put the term out there for the public to discuss and start thinking about. Trump is trolling the media as usual. He’s getting them to serve his purpose without their realizing it.

I suppose that's true. Most people haven't listened to the actual interview, but have instead heard the repeated claim that Obama's grandmother said he was born in Kenya.

The interview was very much a deliberate effort to get her to say something of the sort with highly leading and unclear questions.

The site is "zombietime", and it's been around for years. I've read that particular article many many times, and cited it to others many many times.

"Zombie" is an under cover conservative in extreme Liberal San Fransisco. Zombie documents a lot of the insanity that goes on in that city, and also does research on matters of political interest like Obama's past.

That particular article is well researched and if you want to know about the nefarious doings of Obama before he became popular, that article is a must read.

Now it is up to the Democrats to prove that they are NOT treasonous!
