We are living in an age that respects nothing and expects everything without having to work for it

You are a diehard supporter of a guy who was a millionaire by the time he was 8 years old, and who inherited around $413 million from his father. You sure you want to talk about people having to work for things?

I really feel that there is a case to be made to remove congressmen who actively participated in sedition. The only caveat should be that the party of those folks should be able to replace them with their choice of candidates, either through primary or special appointment, and those elected/appointed must not have taken part in said sedition. AKA replace them with Republicans with integrity.

Those liberals resorted to winning the election. Deal with it.
I have no problem dealing with that, do you have any problems dealing with the way the Liberals have conducted themselves over the past 4 years. You should.

Trump is has not been just sitting around, he has some serious accomplishments for only having been in office for four years and having been harassed all of that time.

Well, secession is illegal... just sayin.
I imagine there's an exception in there if one truly believes it is what Donald would want them to do.

Or maybe just a sign that one needs to put down the kool aid and take a look at what they're being told to do.

Yep, I'm certainly enjoying his replacement for Obamacare.

With Donald, all things are permissible.

As a centrist, I take issue with both sides. But I have more trouble with what is left of the GOP that I once knew.

They should be but this country has a a horrible track record for punishing traitors as evidenced by the pardon of pretty much every person who committed armed treason against this country in the 1860s.

I don't think secession is treason.

Betraying one’s country is pretty much the textbook definition of treason. America’s Founding Fathers committed treason as well. They only got away with it because they won the American Revolutionary War. If they had lost, a lot of them would have had a date with the gallows.

treason requires support for a foreign enemy. sedition is an attempt to overthrow the government, and is more apt. ironically though, once they did actually secede it would also be treason, as they would make themselves a hostile foreign power.
