Can't he be impeached for breaking his oath?

Reminder that the supreme court ruled that mr president is above the law (or commits no crimes while in office, something like that). Expect the constitution to be deported next

Ah, but you see it specifically says to 'preserve, protect, and defend' which could be interpreted as perpetuate the existence of the constitution, not necessarily execute the laws enumerated by the constitution. To that point, the oath doesn't distinguish between the constitution: paper document and the constitution: the law. So really, legally, he's upholding his oath. Maliciously.

probably thinks that peaceful, respectful Declaration of Independence is the constitution

Every time a Republicant mumbles their oath of office, with the Bible scorching their palm, it's a perjury trap.

You think he cares about oaths?

I don’t see the problem. And since we got to this point it’s probably wise to stop calling him stupid. He’s just not our kind of cunning and intelligent, but he’s not stupid.

This is putting the problem front and centre, as if the 2nd amendment wasn’t showing it with the bazillions of school shootings over there: you can’t trust that some fallible political and legal writers of 200 years ago could have foreseen or provided a guiding document for a world with ad-sale-optimised social media algorithms, cruise control, semi automatic weapons, and currencies and crypto all disconnected from a gold standard.

He is upholding and protecting the constitution to the best of his ability. Either the people in that country really misjudged his ability or as I mentioned before, he’s a cheater, and he cheated.

Your country was broken when JFK was “couped”. It was broken when they got Reagan in. It broke more when they flew planes in their own buildings and lied about WMDs to start 20 years wars to only lose them. Your country is lost and fucked, not to mention run, controlled, brainwashed and bought by a genocidal zionist death cult, and it’s because nobody ever did anything about it, and they all thought that having a semi automatic in their garage meant no matter how bad it got, they would be able to defend themselves.

They tricked you into thinking that flag was your community, but sneakily you’ve each and every one become the most selfish and scared little persons in the world. Nobody is jealous about anything the US brings to this world.

You are reaping so fucking massively what you have sawn through generations of passivity and wanking to that flag as if its made out God’s own underwear.

You broke it. Fix it.

He’s merely the embodiment of your collective failure.

E: only 4 downvotes? Maybe there is hope
