And that wouldn't happen if Presidents could commit crimes with impunity? Why not cheat, I am President and and do what I want. Don't want that to end.
Nation of 325M people is basically held hostage to the whims of someone with the maturity of a 7 year old.
The fact this is discussed at the fucking Supreme Court will be used as a symbolic watershed moment of this country's fall to ruin. WTF is this country thinking
Howard text to relative: 'If he wins I will be pardoned for electoral fraud' Adam Reiss and Adam Edelman Steinglass, reading some of the texts between Howard and Howard’s unnamed relative, revealed that the former National Enquirer editor-in-chief seemed to have understood the criminal nature of the company’s payment scheme on Election Night 2016. “He’s just been named President-elect,” Howard wrote. “At least if he wins I will be pardoned for electoral fraud,” Howard wrote. Steinglass read the texts because Merchan ruled that Pecker should not read them.
Joe Biden ordering the arrest of trump because he’s a danger to democracy is bad but trump having his brain dead followers try to overthrow an election and shit all over the capital floor is under Presidential immunity. Real cool country.
In a developed country, this case shouldn’t even need oral arguments. I cannot wait for someone smarter than me to read and digest the conservative opinion if this isn’t a unanimous ruling. It could be quite entertaining.
This could be a wild idea but hear me out. There are three equal branches of government. What if the judicial branch does their job, and holds the president accountable for BOTH crimes after leaving office and illegally trying to stay in power. Alito seems to be saying we get one or the other.
Hypothetically, the SC accepts the arguments of Trumps lawyers. Biden has got a few months to put those arguments to the test. Just sayin’ ..
"Pecker is a rhino folks. Not a real republican. What happens when you take an important man like him and remove the R? He's not important anymore - just an impotent Pecker, folks."
Conservative SC justices are complete ghouls, but I also think the liberal justices are entirely capable of crawling right up their own asses with esoteric legal garbage. I feel I have no idea how this is gonna go.
A single black president ruined the psyche is every conservative in America and having a minority group of people decide what’s best for the majority is how fascisms happen. This is what white people have always done when their authority is perceived to have been challenged, make the dumbest decisions to make sure the majority knows they aren’t in power. The idea of white people were created by land owners who realized that if poor whites and slaves banded together it would be over, so they created “white people” to give poor whites a few more rights than slaves. Then part of the country wanted to end slavery so other minority started a war. Stupid shit is what this country does.
I'd legit have a seal team on stand by to (redacted) Trump's entire fucking bloodline. Put an end to this nonsense once and for all
Agreed. Not just that Obama was black, but more educated than them, younger than them, and with a Muslim name. He was like an AI generated boogeyman that provided nitro to their zealous religious and racial fears. It's still hard to fathom for me how it got to them giving someone as incapable intellectually like Trump god rights.
Trump and his gold toilets and miss America contests is the ideal rich man of every white trash person in America. Combine that with “he says what I feel” and you’ve got a stew
When the revolution comes -- (cause that's the only fucking way we're getting out of what's coming in by this time next year) -- hopefully all the dumbfuck dems who argue(d) against expanding the court are put to the [redacted] too
I won't be able to contain my insane laughter when at the end of all of this, Donald Trump, the 45th and 47th POTUS, has to pay a $1000 fine for contempt of court. And that is all. I look forward to all of the explanations from legal scholars about why that makes sense
Joe could go zero dark Brandon and then threaten the senate to acquit him or else and then get away with any crimes he chooses.
I hope they pass it. Maybe it would actually light a fire under this bum Party’s ass. If they face real consequences from an unabashed Trump maybe they’ll get in gear. If there’s no consequences, Biden and Dems need to rig every election in Dem controlled swing states. They will be accused of it anyways. Need to win this cycle at any cost and run the clock out on Trump and his Boomers. If Trump gets back in, he’s never leaving.
the right has spent the better part of four decades demonizing the “administrative state” (term used loosely as a slur) as a bunch of unelected fascist goons undermining the popular will of the country to push their hidden agenda. So yes, in the context of talking about Congressional action, the expressed sentiment very much does matter.
Ostensibly going to be used against SJP, but, of course, it's going to be used to do shit like crush NGOs calling for a ceasefire. Particularly, once Trump is back in office.
Shit in Texas we have to swear allegiance to Israel if we’re receiving government funding, including public education.
bill is either superfluous (material support to a terrorist organization is already criminal) or a pretty clear First Amendment violation
I guess the SCOTUS case will be kicked back down to the lower court, putting other cases in flux? We can't have nice things, so I assume this will happen.
still doesn’t feel real that the most obvious corrupt conman seems to have everything go his way ..it is like all the institutions are terrified of him
A lot of religious ppl are posting an edited version of this clip that cuts out any reference to Trump.
