It's a shame that he doesn't know what treason is. It's even more of a shame that the vast majority of people don't know what it is.

SGT (Join to see) - He also has a tendency to go into ad hominem attack-mode when he doesn't have a response to an objection to his position. And the kicker is when the attacked person responds in kind, he gets kind of butt-hurt about it.

Capt Gregory Prickett - see attached, Graham’s hierarchy of dialogue/disagreement. I’ve probably posted this 30 times on RP; usually, to folks who argue in the manner of the good Colonel. It’s pretty self explanatory. Additionally, folks usually don’t respond well to seeing a visual representation of how awful their argument/style is. The list of of rallypointers that have blocked me, essentially for being on the wrong end of a discussion, is distinguished.

I hold some democratic views as well as conservative and liberal views. Whoever makes an attempt on my life will have their hands full.

He is a liar, egomaniac, who will resort to saying the dumbest things to win an argument.

So exactly why did Brennan state Trump had committed treasonous acts? https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/08/19/brennan_on_sunday_i_stand_by_accusing_president_trump_of_treason.html I guess the ex director of the CIA is stupid!

Capt Gregory Prickett - "but only one of them has the ability to order the prosecution of people for offenses, to use the power of government to suppress his political opponents."

The Opposite of Rhetoric is Rhetoric
The reputation of “rhetoric” as a term suffers from the tendency of many to use it as a synonym for hot air, bulls**t, or empty language…

Maj John Bell - I'm glad that you agree that what Trump is doing is rhetoric, hot air, bulls**t, or empty language.

Capt Gregory Prickett - There is absolutely no doubt in my mind. If there is a carnival barker gene, President Trump has it in spades. I imagine
In America, even this guy can get elected President. (If he hadn't been born in Israel.)
