Kimberly Wehle: In Trump v. United States, the Supreme Court's far-right majority showed Americans once again that "textualism" and "originalism" are a ruse. ... There's nothing whatsoever in the Constitution about immunity for presidents, unlike for members of Congress under the Speech and Debate Clause. In other words, the Framers knew how to afford immunity to federal officials when they wanted to. They didn't give it to presidents.
"From this day forward, Presidents of tomorrow will be free to exercise the Commander-in-Chief powers, the foreign-affairs powers, and all the vast law enforcement powers enshrined in Article II however they please -- including in ways that Congress has deemed criminal and that have potentially grave consequences for the rights and liberties of Americans."
This is the country we thought we lived in, but we were being played by Republicans for years [video at link]:

Not since the early 2000s.
Got a link to some current data?

First of all, practically nobody gets AIDS anymore since the advent of antiretrovirals about 25 years ago.
HIV incidence:
70% MSM (Men who have Sex with Men)
22% Heterosexual contact
8% Drug users
Where's all this MSM sex happening?
"In 2021, the South accounted for more than half (52%) of the 32,100 estimated new HIV infections."
