In a morning tweet IQ45 said that our intel people need to go back to school. The reality is that it seems that HE is the one that has been skipping classes - and now the professors are handing out study notes for the finals - and he has no clue.
"U.S. intelligence chiefs de facto message to allies around the world: Youre right; Trump is wrong."

He continues to try to prove that he knows more than any of our intel people. Yeah, the one who has led how many businesses into bankruptcy and failures. And its not only our own intel that don't know anything - its all of our allies (well, at least they were allies until IQ45 took over).
He is violating his oath of office - "to protect and serve" - and Congress is violating theirs by allowing this to happen.

Well, to be fair, it does say "to the best of my ability." He has no ability, so I suppose he is protecting and defending the Constitution as best he can.
BTW, nothing about protecting and serving.
All joking and nitpicking aside, you are right. He is not preserving, protecting or defending the Constitution of the United States.
And all of that said, I maintain that the impetus for removing him from office must come from the Republicans. In the absence of that impetus, we have to hope that Mueller indicts him, and Pence, for more than process crimes, and that he does not wait until January 2021. In the current climate, impeachment would be extremely dangerous, domestically and internationally.

(16,955 posts)Er, actually, as you quoted, it does say "protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
So, to paraphrase Meatloaf, "one out of two ain't bad!"
