It's worse than how the media is spinning it. Could you imagine any other president saying that? It would be news for days but with this dumpster fire it was probably covered for a couple hours last night and now on to the next disaster.HughFreakingDillon said:

“Can we call that treason?” Trump said, referring to Democrats who did not clap for him during his State of the Union address last week. “Why not? I mean, they certainly didn’t seem to love our country very much.”
Can we call that treason? Well, no, actually.

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway has taken control of the opioids agenda, quietly freezing out drug policy professionals and relying instead on political staff to address a lethal crisis claiming about 175 lives a day. The main response so far has been to call for a border wall and to promise a "just say no” campaign.
Trump is expected to propose massive cuts this month to the “drug czar” office, just as he attempted in last year’s budget before backing off. He hasn’t named a permanent director for the office, and the chief of staff was sacked in December. For months, the office’s top political appointee was a 24-year-old Trump campaign staffer with no relevant qualifications. Its senior leadership consists of a skeleton crew of three political appointees, down from nine a year agoIt's a hopeless situation...0 -
That's a great point that I don't hear many people making. This situation with tRump is off the charts. Every day is further off the chart.dignin said:

I know what you are saying, but unfortunately, I'm not giving him a pass, but context is everything. if any other president were to say it, you are right, it would be shocking. But in light of everything else he has said, you have to take that into consideration. this is the new fucking normal, for at least 3 more years, whether we like it or not.dignin said:

"Just say no" worked great in the Reagan era. And a huge chunk of the opiods are coming in from China, which incidentally already has its own wall.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -

people keep asking the wrong questions when something like this happens. all I see is "how would the right have reacted if Obama/Hillary said this?". who gives a fuck? why not ask yourself this before you over react: "how would I have reacted if (the guy I liked) said this?".

Yes, I watched the video. The fact that he can "playfully" call people who disagree with him treasonous and some eat it up is astounding, and yes, you're giving him a pass. "Can we call it treason?
