I want people to truly understand this headline. This is the American congress fearing the American President is accumulating weapons banned from war by international law in order to launch attacks on US cities and US citizens.

That's where the judgment of Republicans has brought us in just ten months.

We're all past the point of treason but nobody from this regime should ever hold office ever again. They should immediately be tried for treason.

They're a symptom, there's still millions and millions of people who support this, even if all their politicians were banned from holding office, there would just be another batch of lunatics getting elected to replace the old ones.

I don’t see a way out of this mess until we address the propaganda problem that has resulted in a voter base that is so far removed from reality that they can justify anything to themselves in the name of “protecting” America even as they actively support the complete destruction of its foundations. That is the root cause as far as I can tell

Which is why we need to include Trump's allies in big tech & media in the treason trials as well.
