So, who DID sign a loyalty pledge to Drumpf? McTurtle?Ryan?jasoninthehouse?Nunes?Pence?Beauregard?

Is this why they throw wrenches in the works all the time? Is this why they won't go for a special prosecutor? Is this why they don't pay heed to their own recusals? Is this why some have said they won't run again?

Just askin', 'cause they take a pledge to uphold the constitution, even though GWB called it a Gdamned piece of paper. That should be the only oath, pledge they take. Not to Grover Norquist, and not to the Drumpfenfuhrer.

Actually, it makes me sick as hell. It is completely anti-American.

Signing a loyalty oath is a voluntary physical act designed to reinforce the psychological commitment, of the signer, to a philosophy or set of beliefs...
a 'Profession of Faith' basically.

Yet, in his self-centered interpretation of its purpose, he sees it as tangible proof of one's Unconditional 99 year contractual obligation to do anything he requests...

Kindof a twisted conflation of the
BDSM world's
relationship between a Master & his/her Submissive /Slave/Pet

the religious world's relationship between a follower and his/her diety

And the business world's relationship between parties in a contract....
