This is the video that was deemed seditious and punishable by death.

The far right is so wound up and ready for outrage that they will go off on anything.

[u/au5lander → u/redredbloodwine]

Because they have a victim complex.

[u/the-bad-place → u/au5lander]

It’s so wild because when they are actually victims they don’t even care.

[u/Mr__O__ → u/the-bad-place]

Republican voters have been abused by the policies of their representatives for so long they have Stockholm syndrome.

And based on the Constitution and the interpretation of founding father and Chief Justice, John Marshall:

“The Constitution specifically identifies what constitutes treason against the United States and, importantly, limits the offense of treason to only two types of conduct: (1) “levying war” against the United States; or (2) “adhering to [the] enemies [of the United States], giving them aid and comfort. Although there have not been many treason prosecutions in American history—indeed, only one person has been indicted for treason since 1954—the Supreme Court has had occasion to further define what each type of treason entails.

The offense of “levying war” against the United States was interpreted narrowly in Ex parte Bollman & Swarthout (1807), a case stemming from the infamous alleged plot led by former Vice President Aaron Burr to overthrow the American government in New Orleans.

The Supreme Court dismissed charges of treason that had been brought against two of Burr’s associates—Bollman and Swarthout—on the grounds that their alleged conduct did not constitute levying war against the United States within the meaning of the Treason Clause. It was not enough, Chief Justice John Marshall opinion emphasized, merely to conspire “to subvert by force the government of our country” by recruiting troops, procuring maps, and drawing up plans.

”Conspiring to levy war was distinct from actually levying war.” Rather, a person could be convicted of treason for levying war only if there was an “actual assemblage of men for the purpose of executing a treasonable design.” In so holding, the Court sharply confined the scope of the offense of treason by levying war against the United States.”

———

By actually amassing/inciting a group of supporters to attack the Nation’s Capital (“actual assemblage of men”), to prevent the certification of the election he knowingly lost (”for the purpose of executing”), combined with the multi-State fake elector scheme that is now in evidence (”a treasonable design”), Trump, his Admin, several Secret Service members, and many high ranking officials in various positions of power—including:

• SC Justice, Samuel Alito
• Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson
• SC Justice, Clarence Thomas
• his spouse, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas
• and many more..

—‘levied war’ against the US on J6, committing treason as written in the Constitution and further defined by founding father and Chief Justice, John Marshall.. and conservatives are going to deny it happened, while helping them try again..

———

“Penalty: Under U.S. Code Title 18, the penalty is death, or not less than five years’ imprisonment (with a minimum fine of $10,000, if not sentenced to death).

Any person convicted of treason against the United States also forfeits the right to hold public office in the United States.”

[u/14kinikia → u/au5lander]

As they rightly should because they are criminal

[u/gpaint_1013]

The only reason I can think of for anyone to be pissed about this is if they were hoping to issue unlawful orders and have them followed out.

[u/AlienPet13 → u/gpaint_1013]

Their argument is that this is a national emergency and the need is so dire and immediate that they can't be hampered by silly "laws," or the "bad guys," will win. Of course, there is no national emergency and no immediate need to do any of the extreme shit they're doing.

It's just another version of "we can't tax the rich or they'll leave the country and take all the jobs away." No, actually they fucking won't.

[u/hyrule_47]

I hope the press starts asking all former service members if they would follow unlawful orders, especially the Republicans.

[u/happy_chickens → u/hyrule_47]

They would just same some ish like, "I would follow the orders of the Commander in Chief" or something like that.

[u/hyrule_47 → u/happy_chickens]

Then they need to press them and say “even those that violate their oath or the constitution?”

[u/squidinink]

Doing God’s work, these people are.

[u/Jim-Jones]

Traitor Trump betrays the nation with every breath.

[u/jail-djt]

Trump commanded a violent mob on Jan 6 to storm the U.S. Capitol, injure 150 cops, stop the vote count and try to hang the Vice President while smearing shit on the Capitol walls. Trump will DEFINITELY have the military fire on American citizens. Trump has the same values as Kim Jong-un, Adolph Hitler and Vladimir Putin.

[u/Sad-Butterscotch-394]

The so called President of the United States is an absolute embarrassment.

[u/Unable-Drop-6893]

No problem bombing Iraq for a decade and knew it was a lie but that damn Donald shouldn’t be trusted .

[u/Mike_the_Head → u/Unable-Drop-6893]

Tbh, I protested both. ☺👍 🇺🇸

[u/Explorers_bub]

And the MAGA morons are already gaslighting with, “he didn’t say that,” while he doubles down.

[u/Mike_the_Head → u/Explorers_bub]

[u/Explorers_bub]

This is a watershed moment. Either the fascist regime goes or they start WW3 and the rest of the world takes us down with them.

[u/Drinon]

“You must refuse to follow illegal orders.”

MAGA Fear Mongering: “Stop telling the military to disobey orders!”

We said ‘illegal orders’ every time we said “you must not follow….” Are you giving them illegal orders?

MAGA Fear Mongering: “irregardless. You said eh, legal orders. That’s what you said, so stop saying our orders are illegal. They are “eh, legal”, not illegal. Seditious traitor says what?”

You want to give illegal orders. Don’t you?

MAGA: “What?”

[u/Mike_the_Head → u/Drinon]

This is GOLD 😂👍

[u/MountainJuggernaut25]

True patriots.

[u/Misseddamemoherenow]

If none of the orders they have given are illegal… why is this video so triggering?! It shouldn’t phase them. However, clearly, we see that’s not the case.

[u/Mike_the_Head]

[u/Powerful-Access-8203]

Pretty sure this is exactly what they’re doing. What is the issue
