Full Headline:
There should be a way to muzzle Trump to stop him from being a national security 'hazard': Alexander Vindman
?id=24820081&width=1000&height=537
Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman (US Army, retired) voiced his frustration on Friday that former President Donald Trump is undermining national security by publicly asking Vladimir Putin to interfere in America's politics to harm the Democratic Party.
On Tuesday, Trump begged Putin to release dirt on President Joe Biden.
MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace asked Vindman about a tweet he sent in response where he referred to the former president as a "traitor."

I think he should be out in Florence, Colorado and put in a cell where the sun doesn't shine and never heard from him again........

(32,658 posts)Chump was kicked off of Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and probably other social media that I'm not aware of. He's not welcome and not allowed to post messages. BUT the American news media have no such ban. In fact they're courting him and giving him almost as much free time as he wants.
Chump never pays for advertising to get his craziness out to the American people. Oh heck no, why should he pay for it? They give it to him FREE. And then it becomes news, so the media have to cover all the reactions to whatever cockamamie things he said. And then they have to cover whatever HIS response was to the reactions, until the next crazy thing starts it off again.
The US media will not stop this train wreck until we all turn off our TVs and refuse to pay attention. Their ratings will go down and suddenly they can't charge as much for their ad-time. Oh no! Maybe we gave too much free time to Chump!

I think american oligarchies need to be exposed ,have their money traced ,frozen too just as much as the russian oligarchs need it.We can see who's funding the right wing machine and assholes like Hawley ,Desantis etc. If the oligarchs are exposed they could be the biggest traitors against America by far.

They have under 18,000 viewers in primetime, all platforms. They're hemorrhaging money, and it won't be worth digging into those deep pockets in a little while.

(205,552 posts)That's what Nixon did - which we didn't learn about for 50 years - when he negotiated with the North Vietnamese to thwart LBJ's peace talks and secure a Republican presidential win - which prolonged the Vietnam War for another 7 years resulting in thousands more deaths on both sides.

(94,614 posts)A private citizen negotiating ON BEHALF OF THE US with a foreign power is a violation of The Logan Act. Trump isn't doing this.

I have given up hoping. I am afraid the fix is in and Trump will be allowed to just keep on stirring up chaos.
You know. If someone like Trump lived a regular day to day life his actions would have pushed him out of regular society. Most organizations won't put up with people who lie and cheat and steal.
Unfortunately Republicans seem to all be pretty like him so they don't even find it strange.

(61,695 posts)something will happen to remove his evil mug, voice, and comments from the public domain. I just hope he never acquires martyr status.
