Trump talked about NOT preserving, protecting, and defending the Constitution. IOW he's planning on violating his Oath of Office.
President Donald Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.”
“A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call with NBC News, referring to his allies. “But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.”
“I’m focused on the current,” Trump added, in some of his most extensive comments to date about serving a third term.
Imagine former President Obama, or ANY POTUS, saying anything like this! The sailors on the Mother Ship; every FAUX NOOZ talker and viewer; and the entire MAGA universe would have their hair on fire. But here we have Trump threatening to break the law and become a dictator: *crickets*
Question to the Who's Your Daddy lurkers and to skudrunner, -FJ, Joe Conservative, and Thersites who often visit here:
What do you have to say about Trump's threat to violate his Oath of Office? Also, are you okay with this kind of treasonous threat from Trump -- to ignore a law and break a solemn vow in order to stay in power? Would you be okay with this if it were coming from a Democrat?
You, skudrunner, -FJ, Joe Conservative, Thersites, and Lisa of WYD are Americans, just like my P.E. readers and me. Is this how an American president should behave? Threaten to upend the Constitution and commit a high crime and misdemeanor to retain power? Does this bother you the way it bothers me, a fellow American?
I would like to know your reaction to this unprecedented threat from an American president.
"Under the law, it may be considered treason or a high crime to betray a sworn oath of office. In many cases, the oath is performed using an oath book, typically religious scripture such as the Bible. The word 'oath' and the phrase 'I swear' refer to a solemn vow."

THIS IS HEARTBREAKING.
Max Dashu, Founder and Director at Suppressed Histories Archives:
"Canada just walked away from the United States. We ended our economic and security ties with Trump’s America, but it was historically stunning nonetheless. Not in some passive, “we’re disappointed” way. Not a strongly-worded letter. Not a polite diplomatic eye-roll. No — Prime Minister Mark Carney gave a full break-up speech on live TV.
“The era of deep economic, security, and military ties between Canada and the United States is over.”
And just like that, 150+ years of the world’s most peaceful, "mutually beneficial, boring-but-beautiful border relationship... done - dismantled by one orange blowhard/rapis/felon cosplaying as a capable President when he’s just a Russian asset in a fucking diaper.
"This comes after Trump allegedly tried to set up a phone call with Carney, to which Carney said “nah.”
"Donald Trump — in what might be the most unhinged foreign policy week since “buy Greenland” — slapped a 25% tariff on Canadian auto imports, called Canada a “national security threat,” and floated the idea of annexing us as the 51st state.
"Yes. Annexing. Like Putin-lite. Except fatter and with worse grammar.
"Then, when Canada pushed back by deepening economic ties with the European Union, Trump jumped on Truth Social and typed this out with his whole chest:
“CANADA IS TRYING TO UNDERMINE AMERICA. IF THEY THINK THEY CAN PARTNER WITH THE EU AGAINST US — THERE WILL BE HARSHER SANCTIONS. CANADA AND EUROPE BE WARNED.”
"Carney called that bluff today most soberly and seriously. Canada isn’t taking a break for it’s economic and security alliance - we’re torching it and betting on ourselves with a few other deomcratic superpowers not led by a fucking dotard Putin Puppet.
"Today, Mark Carney made the most consequential announcement of any Canadian Prime Minister in modern history. Visibly pissed but composed, he said enough was enough:
“We have to look out for ourselves. And we will do that.”
“He [Trump] wants to break us so America can own us. And it will never ever happen.”
“We will defend our workers. We will defend our companies. We will defend our country.”
"It felt less like a press conference and more like Churchill with better lighting. That wasn’t a press conference. That was world history in the making. A moment that will come to define us as the world’s biggest energy superpower, and it will be done in an unimaginably short period of time because it has to be. Canada will do things not thought possible. And we’re here, so it has to get done.
"Trump did this. Not Canada. Not Mark Carney. HOWEVER, maybe we should think about sending him a gift basket because the butterfly effect of having the dumbest fascist alive be the 47th president of the United States
"The Global Fallout. This wasn’t just a press hit — it was a geopolitical earthquake. Here’s what’s happened in just 12 hours:
The Canadian dollar surged as markets responded to Carney’s leadership and a pivot toward Europe.
The Dow dropped 700 points after U.S. automakers panicked over retaliatory tariffs and global realignment.
EU leaders released a joint statement backing Canada and fast-tracking trade + defense integration.
American allies from Germany to Japan are quietly freaking out — not because Canada left, but because it finally did what they’ve all been thinking.
“Canada is now the first country on Earth to formally sever close ties with Trump’s America.”
Musk, like his co-president, Trump, breaks laws.
MORE ELECTION-BY-BRIBERY BY THE NAZI-SALUTING CO-PRESIDENT:
This is illegal: "Musk announced in an overnight post on X that he’ll hand out million-dollar checks at a Sunday night event in Wisconsin—but only to those who voted in the state’s Supreme Court election.
Why is Elon so invested in this race? Tesla is facing legal challenges in Wisconsin."
MADISON (WKOW) -- Attorney General Josh Kaul (D-WI) filed a lawsuit on Friday against Elon Musk and his political action committee America PAC, claiming the billionaire tried to buy votes in Wisconsin's Supreme Court election.
I'm just putting this here...
as an example of the utter madness that has gripped this country.
Guess whose children will be subjected to this Dickensian-age regression in child labor laws.
HINT: It won't be DeSantis's kids, nor the children of other rich people.

ORANGE YOU GLAD IT'S FRIDAY?
The most dishonest, felon-saturated regime in American history.
Trump pardoned Trevor Milton, the founder of bankrupt electric and hydrogen-powered truck maker Nikola, who was convicted of fraud after a jury found him guilty of lying to investors about the company's technology.
"Retail investors lost millions from the fraud perpetrated by Trevor Milton, according to prosecutors in court documents from just two weeks ago.
Milton late Thursday said he was pardoned by President Donald Trump, an assertion the White House has yet to confirm.
Milton in 2023 was convicted for lying about the technological breakthroughs Nikola made when he was chief executive. Most infamously, a prototype electric truck was rolled down a hill, a fact first identified by the short-selling research firm Hindenburg Research.
Matthew Podolsky, the acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, submitted a filing earlier this month asking the court to order Milton to pay $661 million in restitution to retail investors."
