GOP Electors who vote for Putin's Puppy Are Traitors

[Hypoxia]

Just saying.

 

[Ms_Ann]

I didn't vote.

 

[Christobal]

Well OP post is incredible vague. I like seafood.

 

[fertile_babygirl]

Can I just say I love your username OP. Much love.

 

[Ms_Ann]

Wouldn't be the first time the CIA meddled in the governmental affairs of "a country".

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

It's the will of the people.


Are we now bargaining? Or is it still anger and denial?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Maybe that's it...





If you voted for the Orange Don, you are a TRAITOR!!!

Because they themselves would be voting in accordance with the actual votes as cast in their respective states and presumably in adherence to the laws and regulations governing their appointment and service as electors?

Yeah, I want to hear you make the case for "traitorous" behavior under the law.

.....

IN THE first century BC, the Roman historian Sallust wrote that the republic had descended into internal strife because of the destruction of its enemy, Carthage, in the Third Punic War.

Fear of the enemy, or metus hostilis, produced domestic cohesion.

Without an adversary, Romans turned their knives inward: “when the minds of the people were relieved of that dread [of Carthage], wantonness and arrogance naturally arose.”

No they aren't. That's silly.

Could be based on the fact the the candidate who did get those votes encouraged Russia to commit acts of espionage against his opponent, which it seems the did. And in committing said espionage the Russian government influenced the election that he won. Some people MIGHT consider that a treasonist act, and thus said winner was guilty of treason, and shouldn't be allowed to take the oath of President of the United States.

Or it could be for his other international blunders before even taking office.

He's not guilty of treason tho. If he were then the argument would be valid but since he hasn't even been charged then no treason by the electors has taken place and it's highly doubtful their role in it would be treason anyway since they're just doing what the law says they should do.

Trump did not "encourage" Russia to commit espionage. He merely joking expressed interest in looking at Clinton's emails if they had committed espionage.

Beyond that nobody gets convicted for treason on the basis of what "some people MIGHT consider." Treason is a specific crime with a specific definition. "Some people" should learn what the fuck it means before throwing it around.

I'm just making a devil's advocate argument.

He's gonna be the worst president in history. The EC and the people are going to think back and wonder why they allowed such a person to be elected. Putin is going to sit back an laugh.

Can you imagine if some electors had arrived at the conclusion that they could not in good conscience support putting a junior Senator with absolutely no executive experience running anything in charge of the world's largest economy right at the end of a recession?

I'm sure a good number of people, at the time, wished the EC would have done that.

Of course, you have no problem with foreign powers manipulating American elections, as long as America continues to manipulate foreign elections.
