Don't recall commenting on the debate. I too though it a disaster. There again trump has made absolutely stupid comments which are overlooked or deflected by MAGA world.

Snipped for brevity. Reporters are required to report, not to make their own personal judgement of the news, that's for opinion / editorials.. In addition there are now a number of fact check organisations, including within media companies to also address lies and misinformation; unfortunately they are often ridiculed by MAGA world.

One would think the Oath to support & defend Constitution is far more important than an oath of loyalty, which to be open really does sound pathetic Dear Leader stuff

Never said that. I support Biden concerning unwarranted and unpleasant MAGA attacks

Nope, towards the end Biden was obviously starting to struggle. Should have passed on the role for re-election much earlier.

Following URL talks to his background, including overseas military experience. Reading the entire review sounds like an ideal, for trump , appointee. No experience of the complexities of running a very large organisation, but loves trump. Bet the command structure at DOD will be very unhappy.

Personally I find it extraordinarily weird for people and elements of the media to support trump world and it's constant lies, misinformation and outright disinformation. But you're correct many members on this forum are of the same mould from MAGA world.

Many confuse opinion pieces with news

I'm UK / NZ and Oz citizen. I care as US policy decision (sometimes based on falsehoods) by trump and Co often directly impact other countries economies, including where I now live, as it did last time trump was in power.

Dude - lol What's acceptable credible media for MAGA world? The OP quotes facts as well as opinion related to the facts. If you disagree provide a credible source supporting your argument rather than whining a la trump.

Donald Trump has convinced many Americans that the economy is terrible, but a new analysis shows that's just as false as his election fraud claims that fueled the Jan. 6 insurrection. Trump's 'huge lie' shows 'he’s taking everyone for an idiot': analysis

No. You & others will only defect / flame

Did you read the link? So many right of centre people are unable to comprehend the manipulation of the word "socialist" for political purposes, more than likely deliberately. Here's another example; Democratic Republic of Korea or are you going to claim North Korea is in fact democratic?

For Official acts, not personal driven decisions / actions. However, given it looks like trump will have the majority in the Senate and the House, even if the Supreme Court had not given him immunity he would be untouchable. Currently, under trump, the US political system is just about equivalent to a third world country . MAGA - what a laugh!

“Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law,” Senator Warren wrote. “I would know because I wrote the law. Incoming presidents are required to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement. This is what illegal corruption looks like.” 'What illegal corruption looks like': Why experts are blasting Trump for 'already breaking the law'

Republicans also voted against impeachment

True, but do you really believe it is OK to give your loyalty to a President, if the President is acting contrary to the Constitution?

Never was a real chance to impeach trump when the Republicans refused to fulfil their Oath to the Constitution. The refusals should also have been charged, but obviously the Constitution needs to be amended, but again will not happen to lack of foresight by the Founding Fathers.

Haiti is still enduring extreme violence from gangs. It would be a human rights crime crime to deport them whilst the violence in ongoing.

No,. He was a member of German Socialist Party which was far right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Socialist_Party

Right now we don't know how the "Loyalty Oath" will be sworn / actioned. One would think that swearing the OATH to Defend and Protect the Constitution would be sufficient, rather than also demanding a sworn Oath to an individual. Reminds me when trump was in power the Cabinet members were belittled by trump quite nauseating.

No. They swear an Oath to support the Constitution, not to support unlawful actions contrary to the Constitution by a President

Previously Schedule F: On Wednesday, the president signed an executive order creating a new category of federal employees. Top officials could classify positions as having “a confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating character.” Then they could sweep employees holding those positions into a new “Schedule F,” where employees would lose all protections, including those against discrimination, forced reassignments and relocations, and any rights to organize or appeal personnel decisions, for example. Most important, employees could be dismissed for any reason whatsoever. https://www.govexec.com/management/2020/10/trumps-order-sets-stage-loyalty-tests-thousands-feds/169492/ Now - transition cochair... https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-white-house-loyalty-b2625363.html Republicans prepare the trump Loyalty Oath National Republican Senatorial Committee chair Steve Daines has been “aggressively lobbying” senators to make their Trump endorsement now, before the blacklisting begins. House members and G.O.P. operatives aren’t far behind.

Yes I'm aware of change of personnel, but not the criteria of declaring loyalty to an individual as is the declared intent of trump world which I assume is contrary to Constitutional ethics. I note trump has yet to sign the required ethics agreements for transition of government processes. https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/latest/trump-transition-planning-ethics-agreements-biden-rcna179452

Considering trump is going to replace fed govt employee with "loyalists' one can expect such actions in the future. However, under trump they would not be fired as is the case with the subject employees.
