To be fair, there’s only one way to hold him accountable and the people that can won’t.

[–] alaphic@lemmy.world 47 points 1 month ago (2 children)

We need another Luigi, is that what I'm hearing?

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

Or someone from Butler with better aim

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

One Luigi won't cut at this point. That would make things worse.

Oh there's more than one way. But only one real legal method sure.

"to the best of my ability."

Well, I'd almost argue he's following to the letter.

[–] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Founders when they realize they left out the part where the president understands what the constitution is.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 20 points 1 month ago

"It's ok, only land owners can vote and if you have money that means you're A Smart Person™©® and will not vote for some absolute joke of a person who's so obviously corrupt it hurts to even think about. Yup that about nails it. Slap on some signatures and call this baby a government, done and done!"

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Don't give him the village idiot pass. Stupidity implies some of the damage he's done is without intent; he's just accidentally raping the constitution.

Whether or not he is an idiot (and I mean... he is) we should treat him as though every single thing he's done is calculated and intentional. He is an enemy to the United States.

...and on the topic of oaths, every single person in the military swore an oath to defend the constitution from domestic enemies like Trump, so if anyone in the armed forces is reading this, could y'all get off your ass and do your job, please?

[–] sdfric88 2 points 1 month ago

Especially since he's an absolute dipshit, the best of his ability is extremely poor.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago (6 children)

To Americans in the audience, what do all the clowns that voted for this say right now?

They still gargling his mushroom?

[–] SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE@lemm.ee 42 points 1 month ago

I'm guessing that Fox News isn't covering this so they probably don't even know he said it.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 month ago

they don't know this is happening

Just like with laws, oaths mean absolutely nothing if they're not enforced.

[–] CMLVI@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He gets to claim he's too stupid to understand what those words mean in that order

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Oath clearly refers to the physical document. Doesn't say a thing about the words scribbled on it. That's why he's got it framed in the oval office: so he can keep close eye on it and make sure no one crumples it up.

[–] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My copy of the constitution is on the wall. Look, I'm upholding it!

The incorrect assumption is that he has taken a vow or oath in good faith or with intention to follow through.

[–] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Less than ideal, but as luck would have it the French have already crafted a marvelous invention to solve these kinds of problems.

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is where you go to learn about the constitution, Mr. President. Just place your head in the learning hole.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

If I ever open a school I will definitely be calling it the learning hole.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He took the oath, as did every member of Congress, and every member of our military.

I suspect we're going to find out how much the oath is worth.

If you can't name all fifty states, you shouldn't be president...

But why go with that when IF YOU ARE A FUCKING FELON YOU SHOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT.

[–] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 10 points 1 month ago

No, like, he literally doesn't know what that means.

[–] pleasegoaway@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Didn’t trump legally argue during his first term that he doesn’t have to “uphold” the constitution because the specific word “uphold” was not in the oath?

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

He's the most sovereign citizen

[–] neclimdul@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I know I said it and all that. I just don't know if I have to do it

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

"To the best of my ability"

so technically not a lie.

(to clairify, because people on the internet tend to be bad at subtlety: I'm calling trump an incompetent moron with the above text. Actively and intentionally destroying the US IS defending it to the best of his ability, because he's an incompetent moron. Remember, this is a guy who bankrupted a casino more than once.)

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago

Oh shit, our Senators are TWEETING!!!!

Fuck you Raskin, do your fucking job.

[–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

You won't believe this 1 crazy trick to do whatever you want while the US president.

[–] jlow@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago

Ooof, I somehow glossed over the words "Office of" at first and that sentence gets a whole other meaning 😳

[–] LMurch@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 month ago

Seems pretty cut and dry....

https://youtu.be/VIvhmRjzeYk

[–] wischi@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

Maybe the "Office of" part should be dropped 🤣

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can't he be impeached for breaking his oath?

[–] salvaria@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He's already been impeached twice last go-around... It takes congress actually voting him out and nearly none of the GOP will do that

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah, I know. The question was more, is it grounds for impeachment. I mean he's breaking an oath

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I don't think a GOP led House would even bring it up for a vote. The corruption is built in.

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

[–] DCErik@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

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