Stewart Rhodes was found guilty of not keepin his oath

He is a domestic enemy of our constitution and self proclaimed leader of same.

He faces a possible 20 year sentence. Why not death? He and his kind provided the gallows. You plot to overturn the results of a free and fair election. You commit treason. And you are going to jail? If 20 years is supposed to send a message, then send the message with a megaphone and sentence him to die for trying to murder our country. That may keep future dumbasses from dabbling with the Virus of Trumpism.

Treason and sedition are different things.

Sedition is attempting to unlawfully overthrow the government.

Treason is aiding an enemy.

Rhodes was aiding him.

I spent 30 yrs supporting and defending. I kept my oath. Rhodes is guilty of treason.

Section 3.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.



18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

I was born in Phillie, 1954. Lived 6 blocks from Connie Mack. Baptized at st Columba, church of a different name now. My Grandma said I was a Phillie and Eagle fan before I was born. Grandma was right. She left us before the Flyers were born or she would have added them to her list.

What a fine patriot ole Stewart was. I heard a talking head say that this verdict should give a degree of peace to his wife. Many viewers might not know why. Abuse your spouse, abuse your country, lie, be sucked in by a conman. But God Bless America (said the atheist) the good guys are winning.

Thanks for the reminder underpants. Hopefully his wife and son can find a degree of serenity. Holy crap who would object to serenity in the land of the free? Answer that question Kevin McCarthy.
