    Presidents should do something, like some form of oath, to uphold this kind of things. And pass a test to ensure they understand all the complicated words.

    We treat him better than any criminal and he still cries about being treated unfairly… anyone else in America would be behind bars right now.

      A jury of his peers literally found him guilty of several felonies.

      Upon sentencing, the judge said, “Woopsie! I guess we can’t put you in prison because you’re a president now. Oh well.”

      We even have a real life example of this with all of the January 6th convictions resulting in jail time whereas his Highness was protected by a fascist judge who stalled the court proceedings at every opportunity.

      Judge Aileen Cannon needs to be removed from her position, never be allowed to hold any judicial or public office position, and charged with obstruction of justice.

        Absolutely, and it also didn’t help that Merrick Garland (who, let me remind you, was only nominated for SCOTUS in the first place because Obama thought he was so conservative that not even McConnell could object to him) slow-walked the case for two years to begin with.

      This isn’t facebook, no one cares if he follows esoteric religious traditions.

      The problem is that he won’t follow legal requirements that protect us normal people.

    Asked in the interview whether U.S. citizens and noncitizens alike deserve due process as laid out in the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, Trump was noncommittal.

    “I don’t know. I’m not, I’m not a lawyer. I don’t know,” Trump said when pressed by Welker.

    Do you need to be a lawyer to be aware of the Bill of Rights? He’s been President for more than 4 total years, head of the executive branch charged with executing the law for the entire country, has a whole staff of lawyers advising him, and has, himself, pled the 5th (!) and he’s still not even familiar with the 5th amendment?

      And he’s sworn to uphold the Constitution (though a serial liar like him is about as trustworthy as a fox watching the chicken house)

        Fuck that. I wanna know where all my sharpshooter vets are at. I’m a Navy Nuke. I don’t have the skills to pull it off, but I’ll give it the old college try if he comes to my neck of the woods. He is a clear and present domestic threat to The Constitution.

            Oooh there we go again the only thing you americans have, sweeping in in the last 2 years while making profit off of the war all the years before, and even being the reason for the nazis with willsons “be democratic somehow or we wont make peace”, the great depression, enormouse amout of debt basicly killing the young and very fragile democracy before it began and so much more

            You didnt do that alone. You came at the end. The resistance in germany, france, britain and all other occupied terretories, gave more.

            The “debt” germany paid off years ago. Afghanistan, the numerouse desert wars, money we spend on the USA and we had our country destroyed thanks to the nazis.

            Ww2 is all you americans know hm? Shouldnt have voted him in, he made it way clearer what his goals were than Adolf ever did

    If that’s not one of the first questions Monday morning from the White House Press pool they should all be fired. What other Oaths does he not know if needs to uphold? What other parts of the Constitution which he took an oath to defend and uphold does he not believe in?

    So the social contract is null and void.

    And force is the only thing backing up power now with only resistance stopping it.
