I don't want to start a new thread, so here it sits...

Who's going to tell him the Pledge of Allegience is not even remotely closse to being a founding document.

Prior to being elected governor, wasn't he like a business man or something? Who says that qualifies him to be president? Oh, wait...

If he also a failed bilionaire

Who's going to tell him the Pledge of Allegience is not even remotely closse to being a founding document.

Also, too, it isn't even uniquely American. The initial version was written for citizens of all countries to use, the USA specific business wasn't even added until thirty years later in the 1920s.

And "under God" was not added until 1954.

Hounded by baseless voter fraud allegations, an entire county's election staff quits in Virginia

BUCKINGHAM, Va. — Lindsey Taylor loved running elections here.

The previous registrar had spent nearly three decades in the job, and Taylor, 37, hoped to do the same when she was hired in 2019. She loved her staff and the volunteer poll workers, and she took pride in the detail-oriented work. She implemented dozens of new laws in 2020, ran elections through the pandemic and impressed many in the rural, conservative, tight-knit community of Buckingham County.

But then the voter fraud claims started.

In January, the GOP assumed control of the Buckingham County Electoral Board that oversees her office, and local Republicans began advancing baseless voter fraud claims that baffled her. The electoral board made it clear it wanted her out of the job.

“There were people saying that they had heard all these rumors — that the attorney general was going to indict me,” Taylor said, days after leaving the office for the last time. “Mentally, I just — I couldn’t take it anymore.”

Three weeks ago, frustrated and heartbroken, Taylor, along with two part-time staffers, quit. Their resignations followed a deputy registrar who left in February, citing the same conflict.

The four departures left residents without a functioning registrar’s office; there was no way to register to vote or certify candidate paperwork, at least temporarily.

A state elections worker arrived in town a week later to try to pick up the pieces, looking through drawers and opening the mail, as the two remaining members of the electoral board — both Republicans, because the one Democrat had also recently quit — began the difficult process of restaffing a completely barren department.

“It’s just sad that the big lie has come to Buckingham,” said Margaret Thomas, who worked as the general registrar in Buckingham County for more than 28 years before retiring. “And before it was never here.”
