    I remember when we used to hang traitors.

    There sure are fucking truck loads of them in that picture.

    I remember when the French helped us beat some tyranny away from our borders, and although I wouldn’t ask them to get their hands dirty when we start wrestling ourselves, I sure wish we could channel some of their energy into the people who “oppose” things like this… From their couch.

    I long to see French level of protesting here in the states.

      Quite a stretch to call cheering the President traitorous, person could almost say that’s the opposite of traitorous, cause, yknow, a non politician actually doing something about the president is one of the real definitions of traitor.

        Their allegiance is supposed to be to The Constitution of the United States of America, not to a tyrant who is ineligible to be president and wipes his ass with The US Constitution. The military is also supposed to be above politics.

        Cheering for a traitor is traitorous. The traitor in question being the president doesn’t mitigate that in the slightest - to the contrary, that’s the most damaging traitor we could be cursed with.
