1. In the oath of office it says "protect and defend the constitution"... "from all enemies foreign and domestic"

So it meant to protect our system, even from those who are within, who seek to destroy it. Pretty simple, but I guess you can't expect much from a country where many people from top to bottom can't understand something as simple as the 2nd amendment.

For those who do have more than a 4th grade reading comprehension and who are in office who swore this oath, are you going to pretend that you:

1. Don't understand what is written?
2. Don't understand what is happening?

It is time for a majority of high ranking officers and officials to take a stand or at least resign.

2. I've thought of that myself countless times. How could TFG take the oath when he already violated it so many times?

And we know he doesn't read, is not having read it his excuse? Or not placing his hand on the Bible this time around an escape clause? When we all know the truth, he'll do whatever it takes, lie, cheat or steal, to get what he wants. And it's all been proven by his past behavior.

The fact that he's a convicted felon and an adjudicated rapist should have disqualified him based on public opinion. But the fact that he attempted to overthrow the government should have prevented him from ever holding public office again according to the Constitution. And then there was his theft of classified documents should have led to another conviction. Reality Winner stole one classified document and served four years in prison, TFG stole boxes full of them.

And now that he's inexplicably in office again, he's attempting to destroy almost 250 years of democracy. It boggles the mind that this is actually going on in this country. And those who should know better are going along with it.

3. Spot on. Had his fingers crossed? Not touching the Bible. That was veeery strange. He is deranged, minimally.
