The official "let's impeach Trump" thread

It's weird that JazzyFresh and the rest of the Trump gang are refraining from commenting on today's developments.

I guess the talking points haven't come through yet
 
You know, I don’t believe your pretense. Traitor has been inexorably linked to treason since Benedict Arnold. That’s the common usage.

dude please be serious. You can be a traitor to your church, a traitor to your cause, a traitor to your team, a traitor to your family, a traitor to your friends, a traitor to your spouse, a traitor to your school, a traitor to your company. The list goes on and on. I bet there is more usage of “traitor” to professional sports teams than traitors to countries (treason).

“Inexorably linked” — come on. The notion that traitor is commonly just treason to your country is patently untrue. Trump is a mutidimensional traitor: his family, his spouse, humanity, his colleagues who he throws under the bus, his party, and yes, his country.
 
I wasn’t comparing everyone who calls someone a traitor to Trump. I was comparing you, and your usage in this thread, to Trump. Not only do you use the word in the same manner as Trump, as a deliberately false rhetorical bludgeon.

It is very curious that you don’t believe that I think trump is a traitor. Let me assure you that I do.

I'll own my own words, but I do think you were overanalyzing my original response to @silesian, where I called his short comment "succinct" and I laughed. Obviously, your objection was to me basically giving a thumbs up to a comment that included the observation that Trump supporters were traitors.

But, in actuality, at the time, I bout near fell out of my chair laughing at "this is the WTF age in American history". I just found that, in particular, spot on, in its own way. So, there was a misunderstanding here, but I'll acknowledge I compounded that by continuing to use the term "traitor". It really wasn't worth all the back and forth that resulted, but in my comment prior to this one, I stated my position, hopefully in clearer terms.

@JazzyFresh is that closet trump supporter that has a closet, but says he doesn't have one. He can see everyone, everyone can see him, and there's not a door... but the second he gets pinned down, it's very clear there's only one egress available. And it's not the one he imagined going in.
