because he's trying to pin the label elsewhere

This is a cut line from Orwell's 1984, right?

I won't be watching, so I'll find out later myself. I can't tell from the text.

Anyway, the phrase "you want to know the truth" can be thought of as a parenthetical phrase, as:

If you want to know the truth, it's almost treasonous {the way the networks do so and so}.

or

It’s almost treasonous {that} you want to know the truth.

Which is far more serious.

We'll diagram that sentence when we get to it.

And no matter how you read it, it's pretty damn chilling.

I'm sure (heavy eye-roll) he meant it with the word "if" which is common city-talk and sometimes left out when speaking off the cuff. I think an actual transcript of what he meant would put a comma to set it off.

"It's almost treasonous, you wanna know the truth."
A reversal of "You want to know the truth: it's almost treasonous."

But isn't it a Freudian thing when people say what they actually mean instead of what they intend to say?

I know this is pedantic and nit-picking, but I love words. Plus it's revealing that his sentence can be parsed that he thinks it's treasonous when {anyone} wants to know the truth when it involves anything he does.

No, Champ. What's treasonous is colluding with a foreign country to subvert the will of the American voters, then repaying that country by advancing its agenda to destroy the alliances, institutions, and world standing of the United States.

Or do you still get off on infants?

Those camps they're building aren't going to fill themselves.

This sewer rat will go on REAL fake news (Fux, TBN) while avoiding actual news shows who won't kiss his orange ass. Can you imagine him going on "This Week" even and facing tough questions about the mass child kidnapping he's committed? No? That's because it'll never happen!

just say he was, "Not aware" of any steps taken by North Korea towards denuclearization since the Summit?

Next year whichever lawyer you have left is going to be arguing that it requires betrayal to a country that we have made a declaration of war against.

when the time comes... tick tock it’s almost Mueller time.

Your mere presence with that butcher was treason.

He is the laziest, most useless piece of shit who has ever held public office.

it happened on May 10, 2017, and did you tell the American public that this happened.............nope.................why?

And then there is the meeting in your building, and then there was the contact that your current and former cabinet members had with a spies, at the "republican" convention and in your building without contacting the FBI


Treason....................

Is 'Definitely Impeachable'

In the same way that narrowly missing a car crash gets you "almost killed."

The US gave up everything and the North Koreans have done nothing.

"Say what? You are hungry and thirsty?? I can import trum steaks and trum bottled water to you through S Korea and Russia now. Are you buying? I'm selling."
Another fast buck for the big f---. Americans pay for the corporate logistics of his deal.

with the projection. He is the treasonous one.

All everyone has is your word, which by now everyone knows is worthless.

I think it's hilarious to watch you sign papers and stuff w/ that ignorant giant size signature of yours.

Makes me think of those who seem to overcompensate for, let us say, size issues.

I get from this and other stories like it, is dt's desire and process for redefining treason in other images that don't relate to what he and his family have done.
