(30,763 posts)They took an oath and are serious about it. Yet they know they are dealing with a madman who does not honor his own oath of office. They must be very conflicted about their duties. Not their loyalties, their duties.
I don't see how they can "not stand" for this bullshit. I just don't see it.
