Trump is a liar and a fraud. But that loyalty oath is just as bad, from the days people saw reds under beds everywhere. I had to sign it in the 60s to take a position on the student newspaper of the University of Kansas.

Take a drink every time coverage of election/ court news this year us a variation of "groundbreaking" or "historical" or "that's just the way Trump rolls to his own, personal percussion line"

It does seem a little weird, as Trump lies all the time, and I'm sure the oath is just a formality anyway.

I mean, does anyone believe that Ron DeSantis or Vivek Ramaswamy or even Chris Christie would honor this oath, if they somehow made it to the White House? Would the Bush Administration have been improved if Boy George had pinky promised not to do an Abu Gharab or COINTELPRO on antiwar protesters?

I had to sign this to run for school board, so it seems fitting that someone running for president would be required to sign it as well.

Refusing to sign that should result in the immediate removal of their name on the ballot. No second chance.

It's a genuinely peculiar form of narcissism that won't even let him lie about agreeing to abide by rules he doesn't control. Signing such a pledge would make him feel weak, so he can't do it, even dishonestly.

Does section 3 of the 14th Amendment count if Trump crossed his fingers during his inauguration? In this essay I will examine the double dog dare doctrine as it is applied to 1/654

It says something that he doesn’t even find in necessary to pay lip service to this ideal anymore. It’s not like this pledge would stop him!

The funny thing is, if he's gonna try to overthrow the government, I don't think breaking this oath would be the biggest part of it, y'know?
