        The person being sworn in as President by the Chief Justice that day was ineligible for office according to the 14th Amendment section 3. And he could only do that because Congress neglected its Constitutional duty to enforce that provision.

        That is all three branches of the government colluding to break the Constitution to put an ineligible man into the highest office.

    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?

    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.

      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.

    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.

    So the social contract is null and void.

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

      Trump is just the highly visible part of a whole cancerous growth. All of the right wing, with its “outgroups to bind and in-groups to protect” worldview, needs to go.

      Just need to lure him into enough American primary schools and it becomes statistically inevitable. Have him go on a campaign with a sharpie marking up all those big pull down maps and let him write gulf of America on them. He’d love that.

      I’m a foreigner, but the gun to attempt ratio surely doesn’t add up statistically, surely? Those are rookie numbers, y’all gotta’ pump those up!

        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.

      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.

        In classic Conservative fashion he benefited from due process when he needed it and now he wants to remove it so others can’t benefit from it.

          It’s Wilhoit’s Law in action:

          Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
