The loop hole is to amend the constitution.to allow trump to stay. Olgles, a Tennessee congressman is pushing this attempt, to amend, and you can be assured trumps fall in lineJudiciary, and legislative branches, which have full control will go head first full speed to get there. And his Supreme Court will allow whatever he wants.
I dont wanna argue, but we are keeping our head in The sand and singing God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood if we think they can not shit on The constitution for power forever. Unlimited funding to get there.
How is that Well Regulated holding up.
Separation of Church and State and free speech for media,
And that insurrectionists not allowed to run for office, not just trump but the 150+ congress members voting to overturn an election back in Office.
I took the oath multiple times while serving and fully believed that we would always have those laws to keep our nation and democracy. I use to always remove my hat, stand, With hand over heart at every event our anthem played. Even after volunteering to go into military during Vietnam, (draft number 324), through the Nixon years and all that patriotic bull shit thrown at us. I still believed in us and Democracy. I now hate to hear it and most times see our flag as another MAGAT symbol, and trump humoing the flag, FFS.
I no longer feel that our constitution will save us.
Trump and this GQP wipe their asses with the pages and smirk and laugh out loud as they break the laws over and over.
I Hope one day I can feel protected by the words as you do. I use to, and vowed to protect it with my life.
Have a great weekend, guess we gotta hang on to hope. But losing my grip day after day.
