Thursday, 15 February 2018, WASHINGTON, D.C. - Apart from the long growing list of comparatively more mundane laws G.O.P. "Party of Bad Faith" President Trump and the corrupt administration he directs breaks daily while lying repeatedly to the American people, F.B.I. and Congress until caught out by the press, F.B.I. and/or Congress from unprecedented massive security clearance breaches, never before seen levels of cabinet travel cost abuses, repeated obvious perjury including by his unindicted Attorney General Sessions under oath before Congress, overt "Trump Organization" global collection of illegal emoluments "tributes" and related likely fraudulent unaccounted for handling of charitable inaugural and "re-election" slush funds ideal vehicles for bribes and improper payoffs, now graduating to Trump most seriously brazenly ignoring and flouting his administration's legal mandates under duly overwhelmingly enacted federal law to impose long overdue increased Russian sanctions, Trump and his now ever more evident Republican congressional likely criminal co-conspirator enablers in Trump's most significantly increasingly more likely proven crimes already justifying his removal from office ranging without limitation for example from obstruction of justice, to abuse of power, to aiding and abetting, to accessory before and after the fact, to conspiracy against the United States, to money laundering and a likely raft of other related mobster-type offenses, ultimately uncovering sedition and/or suborning and/or committing treason not to mention likely another fifty or more credible counts special counsel Mueller and his team might add should they wish without hesitation.
As the New York Times entire editorial board grimly concedes in its below linked editorial, "So why is Mr. Trump still ignoring such conclusions? Some have said he is giving Russia a green light to tamper with the 2018 elections. That would have once been an absurd suggestion. It can no longer be dismissed out of hand." The Ninth Amendment editorial board here goes further in asserting that at this late urgent time at which Trump still has taken no action to defend our nation against the Russian threat and even broken the law failing to impose more legally required Russia sanctions therefore allowing that threat to become even greater that most thoughtful Americans would agree that the matter of further pondering and investigating Trump's steadfast enduring allegiance to Russia above our own national security may have to run its due course of investigation, but in the meantime for the sake of the enduring integrity of our democratic government the immediate determination of Trump's ability or inclination to continue to undertake the duties and powers the Office of the President must be immediately assessed based on his own lack of action in light of his oath of office without undue regard for the reason which becomes by the day existentially less immediately less relevant compared to protecting the nation.
The United States Constitution in Article II, Section One, Clause 8 sets out the specific wording of the oath or affirmation of the office of the President that the President takes after assuming the office of the presidency but before carrying out any duties of the office. This is that oath that Donald J. Trump swore:
"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States,
and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United
States."
One might argue that President Trump has faithfully executed the Office of President of the United States, and to the best of his ability, preserved, protected and defended the Constitution of the United States, but they would be dead wrong whether advancing that argument simply by reason of being too stubborn or proud to admit mistake or merely a committed imbecile, ignoramus, liar, traitor and/or otherwise so impaired as to be constitutionally unable to recognize such an argument fails miserably in the face of the plain facts as to the entire continuous period of over one year that this Nation already has suffered for far too long Trump's ever more dangerous treasonable lacking execution of the duties of the Office of President following his ever more dubious appearing "election" to that Office in the first place along with all his administration as recognized in the New York Times entire editorial board editorial at the first link below.
The attestation of the heads of the nation's most important intelligence agencies mostly of Trump's own choosing that the President has done absolutely nothing to protect or even apparently mentioned protecting the United States (as opposed to Trump trying to protect himself) from what may be the greatest imminent existential threat the country ever has faced internally even provided sure information of the magnitude of the threat only cements the conclusion that President Trump by reason of abrogating his duties and in fact acting in his own interest against those duties of fidelity to this great Nation he ostensibly leads has lost any legitimate claim he ever has had to any of the prerogatives either the powers or protections of the Office of the President. Combined with the most shameful Republican Congress particularly the GOP majority House of Representatives perhaps the worst cowards in the history of this country which has not only demonstrated itself unwilling to carry out its sworn duties as to the impeachment of the President rather enabling him for partisan advantage now largely appears determined to descend even further into the black hole of conspiracy with Trump's malfeasance the timing could not be worse.
Given the President's manifest failures in his adherence to his oath of office to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and the manifestly evident failure of the Congress to fulfill its constitutional duty to intercede the Founding Fathers made clear since the drafting of the Declaration of Independence that that responsibility inevitably reverts to those with whom the source of all power and protection of governance resides those being the "inalienable rights of the People" which failing other constitutional remedies must include the removal from office of the President and his corrupt administration imminently endangering the future of the democratic institutions of the United States.

UPDATE 26 February 2018 Trump again hits a 35% approval rating matching his all-time low after his drop from a temporary 5 point "tax cut bump" presumably from those who did not realize that unless they are ultra-rich any temporary small benefit they have received was designed by the GOP to soon vanish after the 2018 polls while literally continuing to pay out trillions indefinitely to the very few richest individuals like their donors GOP office holders hope can keep them bought in office even as they destroy working Americans and rich corporations who are buying back their shares and not doing anything more than window-dressing hiring. Readers interested in more information including all details of the 20-23 February 2018 polling conducted for CNN by SSRS can go to the sixth link below.
UPDATE 4 March 2018 Trump dark rages into ominous "Pure Madness" shocks and alarms 22 White House officials, advisers, allies and friends of warning of worsening unpredictable dangers as Trump obsesses on a tightening convergence of intense personal-official intertwined pressures. Readers interested in more information can go to fifth link below.
UPDATE 6 March 2018 Recent reporting and publicly broadcast statements confirm that it was GOP Mitch McTraitor who subverted proper constitutional process throughout 2016 denying rightful Senate consideration of Obama nominee Merrick Garland for seating on the Supreme Court instead conspiring in violation of GOP McTraitor's oath to the implicit good faith upholding of the Constitution later to perpetrate the selling by his corrupt GOP RICO conspiracy of the illegitimately held back seat to the bogus choice of the highly partisan bogus 501(c)(3) Judicial Watch the purchase financed by Anschutz and the Koch Brothers with the stolen Garland seat being bought for confirmation by the lowest Senate approval vote in history for Trump nominee Neil "Golly Gitmo" Gorsuch contrary to a valid reading of the Constitution.
The case being that because of this Mitch McTraitor constitutional perversion "Golly Gitmo" Gorsuch never has been a bona fide authentic Supreme Court justice meaning his purported votes on the Court have not and never will be valid and he should remove himself from or be removed from the Court's chambers, it therefore is unsurprising that Mitch McTraitor also was this sole congressional leader who subverted and violated his oath to the Constitution by insisting that voters intentionally be deprived of meaningful material known information of the Trump-Russia warfare existence and intentions against the United States well before the 2016 election such that McTraitor once again sabotaged the democratic will of the People solely here to facilitate the success of that hostile foreign state's warfare in achieving the illegitimate "President" Trump's "election" which in fact thereby accomplished the opposite unequivocal voiding of the election results given Mitch McTraitor's characteristic corrupt ill intent and bad faith exercised against all American voters as a means of wrongfully achieving GOP presidential power in the 2016 election in furtherance of warfare perpetrated by a conspiring foreign hostile power. Readers interested in more information on this can go to the second link below.
Rex Tillerson certainly has performed beyond what even could have been Trump's Russian handlers wildest expectations in once placed as directed by them at the State Department systematically destroying the legendary U.S. State Department and disgusting into retirement its irreplaceable talent and institutional expertise literally generations in the making the crown jewel of world diplomacy spreading United States ideals of democratic and liberty as a beacon of hope throughout the world. As Trump's Russian owners ordered that Trump choose "Hex" Rex Tillerson to take over the State Department the so-called "President" (who everyone including himself most of all knows never legitimately won any election) jumped to it as Tillerson lost no time shredding that august institution to a skeleton of its former self in perhaps one of the greatest acts of internal sabotage of the United States in the country's entire history and remarkably largely in just over a year (by his clear design) even as Tillerson the worst Secretary of State that ever has befouled this nation which surely abhors him more than he ever could abhor it reportedly fails to spend a single cent of the $120 million the State Department was allotted to fight Russian election meddling.
The Russian-picked Tillerson declares resistance against the Russians futile before even trying and what the hell let the Russians meddle into Congress most likely some more GOPs in 2018 to help out their Siberian candidate Trump as Tillerson remains too disdainful of his homeland even to fill in the State Department's organizational chart just as his once and (he thinks) future company Exxon had been too disdainful of its nation to have even bothered to have someone other than known notorious drunk Hazelwood captain the Exxon Valdez directly into its pristine Alaska Coast oil spill disaster. (Hey Rex did you all ever pay that $1 billion punitive damages jury award or was Rex and is Exxon still fighting it generations later taking it up to the Supreme Court again for about the twelfth time now with Mitch McTraitor's GOP man "Golly Gitmo" Gorsuch casting corporate criminal favorable fake votes while lecturing the Brethren trying to pretend but certainly not acting as if he had earned a real person's spot on the bench?")
Like Trump and his cadre befouling the White House one quite reasonably may ask if Tillerson also is an agent of the Russian state infecting the highest levels of the U.S. government. The question then remains whether Trump and Tillerson one day may be found out to be enemies of the State in every worst legal sense of the word and be determined to merit the same fate as befell the Rosenbergs sixty-five years ago as Trump and Tillerson could quite rightly might be found to have taken every opportunity to cause the nation far more harm than ever even alleged that that couple could. Readers interested in more information on Trump the Siberian Candidate and Hex "Exxon" Tillerson the destroyer of the State Department can go to the third and fourth links below. Whatever horrorshow may await every serving (themself) member of this Trumptime end times GOP every last one can rest easy knowing that whatever specifics of their treachery will in due course scatter to the winds in a thousand directions gone like a handful of dust their only enduring history to be one of timeless disgrace to the nation they swore to protect but instead sought to destroy for their own benefit and future generations be damned.
