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

[-] alaphic@lemmy.world 47 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

Or someone from Butler with better aim

[-] DemBoSain@midwest.social 9 points 2 months ago

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 35 points 2 months ago

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

"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 11 points 2 months 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@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 months ago

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

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

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 39 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 months ago

they don't know this is happening

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

[-] tburkhol@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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 3 points 2 months ago

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

He's on the lookout for Nic Cage. Dude is a menace

[-] Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

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 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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 8 points 2 months ago

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

[-] rockettaco37@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Fanta Führer doesn't give a fuck about our Constitution...

My favorites are:

  • Tyrannical Tangerine

  • Mango Mussolini

  • Pumpkin Pol Pot

  • Crimes Oompa Loompa

  • Skidmark Stalin

[-] rockettaco37@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

This is awesome!

I'm totally stealing some of these if you don't mind

Thanks! I actually saw it on here a few days ago and decided that it was definitely a keeper.

[-] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

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 9 points 2 months ago

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

[-] pleasegoaway@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

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 2 months ago

He's the most sovereign citizen

[-] glitchdx@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months 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.)

[-] neclimdul@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

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

[-] prole 5 points 2 months ago

Oh shit, our Senators are TWEETING!!!!

Fuck you Raskin, do your fucking job.

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Can't he be impeached for breaking his oath?

[-] salvaria 7 points 2 months ago

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 2 months ago

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

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Hylactor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

And the answer is yes. But impeaching him has no hard consequences without Congress then giving him the boot, which they won't. He would stay in office, resources would be tied up, the proceeding would provide cover to do insidious things while the media is distracted by the impeachment shit, and at the end it would just feed his persecution complex.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

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

[-] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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

[-] jlow@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago

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

[-] LMurch@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 months ago

Seems pretty cut and dry....

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