Yes you are. Party over country is your motto. If you have to collude with our enemies to accomplish your goals fine. God knows what you have promised them.How unreasonable of you to demand proof before convicting Trump of treason. You must also be a traitor.I see you can't explain what he lied about.We know you are and expect you to continue to be mystified. Now shut the fuck up and let the adults talk.
When I know I could show you a video of him lying and you would still argue, why bother with you?
All we keep asking for is proof, nobody has any. We can qualify that with the word "yet", but it's been a year.
If being a "traitor" means being entirely willing to shove leftwing stupidity right back up their asses I'm guilty.
This reminds me of Reagan Carter. Reagan/Bush got the Iranians to hold the hostages until after the election. Then years later they sold the Iranians a bunch of weapons. Coincidence? That's what Republicans said. And they got away with it like they're trying to get away with colluding with russia.
also referred to as Irangate,[1]Contragate[2] or the Iran–Contra scandal, was a political scandal in the United States that occurred during the second term of the Reagan Administration. Senior administration officials secretly facilitated the sale of arms to Iran, which was the subject of an arms embargo.[3] They hoped, thereby, to fund the Contras in Nicaragua while at the same time negotiating the release of several U.S. hostages. Under the Boland Amendment, further funding of the Contras by the government had been prohibited by Congress.
The scandal began as an operation to free seven American hostages being held in Lebanon by Hezbollah, a paramilitary group with Iranian ties connected to the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution. It was planned that Israel would ship weapons to Iran, and then the United States would resupply Israel and receive the Israeli payment. The Iranian recipients promised to do everything in their power to achieve the release of the hostages.[4][5] Large modifications to the plan were devised by Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North of the National Security Council in late 1985, in which a portion of the proceeds from the weapon sales was diverted to fund anti-Sandinista, or Contras, in Nicaragua.[4]
While President Ronald Reagan was a supporter of the Contra cause,[6] the evidence is disputed as to whether he authorized the diversion of the money raised by the Iranian arms sales to the Contras.
