Who wants to tell him that we get that right whether he supports it or not?
I don’t know if I support him living much longer.
If that’s not one of the first questions Monday morning from the White House Press pool they should all be fired. What other Oaths does he not know if needs to uphold? What other parts of the Constitution which he took an oath to defend and uphold does he not believe in?
Well, as another example, he doesn’t know what rhe Declaration of Independence is about. See timestamp 3:18. https://youtu.be/GBwCUPttprw
It would be hilarious if instead of asking this, the reporter asked him to define “due process”
I noticed recently that the annotated constitution website suggests visitors to search “due process” in the search bar.
“Of course I know what due process is. A lot of my friends are due process experts, and they’re always telling me ‘Donald, you do so much process. Nobody does process as brilliantly as you.’”
This is coming from the same administration that thought transgenic mice were transgender mice. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he actually comes out with something like this.
That means no trial is necessary for him, naturally.
Someone should make sure he at least knows what those words mean first.
True. The concept is a bit too complex for his brain to handle.
Immediately disqualified from office. Whoever stops this menace is going to be considered a national hero, regardless of their methods.
Dear Canada and Europe, please save us from the Republicans.
Fuck that. I wanna know where all my sharpshooter vets are at. I’m a Navy Nuke. I don’t have the skills to pull it off, but I’ll give it the old college try if he comes to my neck of the woods. He is a clear and present domestic threat to The Constitution.
It’s not just him. It’s the infrastructure supporting the Nazi regime.
Do it yourself. Your people voted for it. Wether they voted for him or didnt vote. This is on your people.
Worst regards a german
We saved you from the Third Reich. This would be repayment?
Oooh there we go again the only thing you americans have, sweeping in in the last 2 years while making profit off of the war all the years before, and even being the reason for the nazis with willsons “be democratic somehow or we wont make peace”, the great depression, enormouse amout of debt basicly killing the young and very fragile democracy before it began and so much more
You didnt do that alone. You came at the end. The resistance in germany, france, britain and all other occupied terretories, gave more.
The “debt” germany paid off years ago. Afghanistan, the numerouse desert wars, money we spend on the USA and we had our country destroyed thanks to the nazis.
Ww2 is all you americans know hm? Shouldnt have voted him in, he made it way clearer what his goals were than Adolf ever did
Just wait till it affects him personally and he will.
It already did and he got off scot-free because of it.
In classic Conservative fashion he benefited from due process when he needed it and now he wants to remove it so others can’t benefit from it.
It’s Wilhoit’s Law in action:
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
George Washington saw this coming
“[…] cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”
Two would-be assassins tried to circumvent due process. Due process benefits all without regard for politics. Or it should.
And after the fall of the Roman Republic, when the emperors would speak to “rule of law” in theory, but relied almost entirely on “might makes right” in practice, assassination attempts became so commonplace that it simply became part of the job of being imperator.
Without due process, our civilization devolves into a mafia mob boss scenario - assassination and coup after assassination and coup - until eventually the empire fragments into fiefdoms. But now with rifles and drones.
No sane person should want this.
Yes, my immediate thought: he will when he’s tried for treason. Not that that will help him, if he and his Business Plot 2.0 co-conspirators are ever tried. So will W, Cheneys, Rices, and if we’re lucky, hrc.
Oh he wants to waive his due process rights, then?
So the social contract is null and void.
And force is the only thing backing up power now with only resistance stopping it.

I’m a foreigner, but the gun to attempt ratio surely doesn’t add up statistically, surely? Those are rookie numbers, y’all gotta’ pump those up!
There’s a bit of the bystander effect, and the fact that he’s in office now, and not just protected by secret service. Bush Jr. Saw the White House get fortified into a military facility. It has fucking anti-aircraft defenses. Obama saw the motorcade get overhauled into a series of what amount to tanks. Supposedly the glass and armor can withstand at least one RPG hit( the type with the shaped charged that cuts through steel) .
Whatever defenses Trump didn’t know he had in 2016, he knows about now and then some. A straight up assassination isn’t feasible - even if you could get ahold of his actual schedule, the type of equipment you’d need to reach him is way out of the hands of your normal citizen.
And then, even if you could get your hands on that equipment - you have to be able to use it. That drastically narrows the number of people who can pull it off to pretty much exclusively former military. And most of that kind of stuff isn’t “lone Wolf” stuff so now it’s further reduced.
Further anyone who goes around and admits they have the Intel, the training, the equipment, and the plan to do it in any capacity online will probably be outed before they can pull it off.
The only way the Regime goes down is by popular resistance. The only way we get to popular resistance is through protesting in person and seeing the numbers and communicating without leaving traces.
It’s happening, but it’s slow because the US is so unfathomably spread out. It takes time to move people places where we are used to instant communication. The Regime knows this. That’s why they send military convoys to arrest a guy posting flyers identifying HSI personnel. They can only delay at this point, but they’re either too stupid to realize that every thing they try now adds fuel to the fire, or they intend for it to all fall apart anyway.
I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek about it all, but I very much understand what you’re saying and I do agree. I know the odds are very much not in favour of anyone who would attempt to “Lone Wolf” it, and expecting that too happen and solve all of the current issues plaguing the US isn’t feasible.
I really do hope y’all can get through and past this, from one citizen of the world to another <3
No, not without Vance, Musk and Thiel.
Fun fact! Murder is “the unlawful killing of a human being with malice”. If it’s lawful, e.g. in self defense, it’s not murder.
Trump is just the highly visible part of a whole cancerous growth. All of the right wing, with its “outgroups to bind and in-groups to protect” worldview, needs to go.
Just need to lure him into enough American primary schools and it becomes statistically inevitable. Have him go on a campaign with a sharpie marking up all those big pull down maps and let him write gulf of America on them. He’d love that.

Fucking with them is a spectacularly bad idea, just ask the British.
I don’t support constitutional due process for him either
We treat him better than any criminal and he still cries about being treated unfairly… anyone else in America would be behind bars right now.
A jury of his peers literally found him guilty of several felonies.
Upon sentencing, the judge said, “Woopsie! I guess we can’t put you in prison because you’re a president now. Oh well.”
We even have a real life example of this with all of the January 6th convictions resulting in jail time whereas his Highness was protected by a fascist judge who stalled the court proceedings at every opportunity.
Judge Aileen Cannon needs to be removed from her position, never be allowed to hold any judicial or public office position, and charged with obstruction of justice.
Absolutely, and it also didn’t help that Merrick Garland (who, let me remind you, was only nominated for SCOTUS in the first place because Obama thought he was so conservative that not even McConnell could object to him) slow-walked the case for two years to begin with.
Presidents should do something, like some form of oath, to uphold this kind of things. And pass a test to ensure they understand all the complicated words.
