At five foot six and 270 pounds, the bank robber was impossible to miss. On April 19, 1995, he hit two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight. Security cameras picked up good images of his face — he wore no mask — and showed him holding a gun to the teller. Police made sure the footage was broadcast on the local eleven o’clock news. A tip came in within minutes, and just after midnight, the police were knocking on the suspect’s door in McKeesport. Identified as McArthur Wheeler, he was incredulous. “But I wore the juice,” he said.

Wheeler told police he rubbed lemon juice on his face to make it invisible to security cameras. Detectives concluded he was not delusional, not on drugs — just incredibly mistaken.

Apparently rubbing lemon juice on your face doesn't make it invisible to cameras.... whoda thunk?

Minor error - you're supposed to rub the lemon juice in the observers' eyes. That definitely works.

Yes. He should have had expected the bank would have lemon juice penetration technology fancy cameras. They are a bank, not just some convenience store with normal cameras.

Bank robber demanded so much cash that it wasn't available. In fear of things going sour and in a spur of the moment geasture, the manager of the bank standing near the teller asked the gun toting robber if he'd take an official certified check for the remainder. To the astonishment of all there, the apparently drug riddled guy said yes.

Guess who came back to the same bank two weeks later without gun or mask looking to cash the check!

Say what you will, at least their guy won. I see your Trumpists and raise you Women Marchers supporting conservative Islam for no other reason than that Trump dislikes it.

Trump voters aren't stupid because their guy was smart enough to collude with the Russians and get elected?

Wow! Much genius! Brane level = 100!

No, he actually didn’t. He lost by millions of votes. What happened was an outdated failsafe—meant specifically to prevent people exactly like Trump from becoming President—ironically failed.

That and he cheated and committed treasonous acts. And still lost.

But worst of all is that, the only thing that could be attributable to him being President is an appeal to latent racism in a handful of non-college educated white boys in the rust belt.

So no matter how you slice it, the people that supported Trump are despicable morons.

I said “treasonous” acts (i.e., acts related to the betrayal of one’s country), but even if we take the more formal charge of Treason that would be (from the U.S. Code of Law):

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States...adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason...

The U.S. Constitution spells it out similarly in Article 3, Section 3:

Treason against the United States, shall consist...in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

Contrary to what others have argued, it is NOT necessarily only during a time of war, but even if it were, the fact that Russia attacked us (regardless of it having been a “cyber” attack) is arguably a defacto state of war. Indeed, there are some, like Dick Cheney and John McCain, that have argued the attack was an act of war, and Russian military doctrine expert Alexander Velez-Green, who points out that Moscow thinks we are already at war with Russia.

Similarly, the fact that we had levied sanctions against their actions in the Ukraine argues for the fact that we had been in an adversarialy posture, which in turn escalated with their cyber attack; a move most likely triggered in retaliation for and in order to get the sanctions removed by an asset of Russia’s making.

And then there’s this piece: Four ways Donald Trump could be guilty of treason, law expert reveals, and this piece: Trump Raises Specter of Treason.

So, yes, Treason with a big T is possible. Unlikely, but still possible.

More importantly, however, and back to my point is that he most definitely has committed treasonous acts; i.e., that he is guilty of the crime of betraying one's country and his moronic supporters are too ignorant—or just plain stupid—to understand that’s what’s going on.

It’s Dunning-Kruger on acid with the majority of his core supporters who will gleefully thank him as he fucks their asses with broken bottles. So, yeah, “real men of genius” applies to each and every one of his inbred nazi core.

But then you could argue that the manager of the bank was the real genius here.

So, it's hard to decide whether the manager was only a little less stupid than the robber or the robber a little less of a genius than the manager.

You know, I can't decide.

And the story does say that the robber was on drugs. Good, that's one fact. Yet, it doesn't say whether the bank manager wasn't on drugs, too.

And the really stupid thing to do for the robber was to come in to cash the cheque. And then, we don't know whether he was still on drugs then.

And I'm really not sure whether an Einstein on drugs would have performed any better. You know, I can't decide.
