Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The answer is clearly "no." He's been doing unconstitutional shit since day 1, and nobody has stopped him.

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

This is the oath he had to make when he took office.

The best of his ability is what's being dealt here

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Right, but was he lying when he said it? He's not sure.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago (16 children)

He had his fingers crossed...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

And he said …NOT, under his breath

Pressed whether his administration is following the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, which says no person "shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law," Trump said he wasn't sure.

"I don't know. It seems – it might say that, but if you're talking about that, then we'd have to have a million or 2 million or 3 million trials," he said. "We have thousands of people that are some murderers and some drug dealers and some of the worst people on Earth."

It might say that? Might? This isn't something that is debatable you hippopotamic dung heap. That's what it fucking says.

"Well yeah it says that but it'd be pretty inconvenient, so..."

Thank you for the new word!

They don't care. All they care about is their in-group is strong and the out-group is punished. They're shitty people.

I saw a guy today with two bumper stickers. One said "Trump" the other said "I love the constitution". I wonder what he would say about this?

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nonsense. He would say nonsense. Because they don't care. They care as much about sounding serious as they do about other people.

I'm sure he'd be very upset if he could read.

"don't know" ?? isn't that like the first thing in his job description?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes. In fact, you couldn't be more correct about the matter.

I would describe his response to the question as fully preposterous.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I would describe it as a dereliction of duty.

He doesn't know what the Declaration of Independence is — something that's taught all through grade and middle school in the U.S. The odds are he has no idea what that pesky Constitution says, nor does he care.

It’s ok, he learned his lesson

If this comment doesn't make the case for impeachment idk what does

Upholding the constitution is the most basic part of the job.

If he "doesn't know" if he can do that he is unfit for the position and should be removed immediately. Not even counting all the other violations of the constitution his administration has committed in just the first 100 days alone

Traitor cunt.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

He does not. He's above any and all laws. I don't know why, but he his. The Constitution is meaningless to a king.

"I don't know" the defense of criminals and toddlers.

I’ve got it! Let’s wring our hands about this while we continue to do nothing. Wait until it’s too late, and THEN start to fight back. That’ll show ‘em!
