- Pedophile Joe Biden

Still lying... like Trump like sonny boy, one supposes.

There's no direct evidence of Biden ever molesting anyone anywhere.

Your Cult Leader, however, is a very different story:

- droned a US citizen without cause.

More lies, same stupid Trumper.

"This chapter analyzes the constitutionality of the targeted killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen whom the executive branch believed to be a senior planner for AQAP (a regional branch of al-Qaeda), concluding that the Obama administration's claim that the killing was lawful is correct..."

- a total mistake

Self-description is always appreciated on these pages.

- out reason Supreme Court justices

A bright 8th grader could take down a couple of these Trump stooges.

Mitch McConnell said he didn't vote to Impeach Trump because there were Laws that would take care of Trump's criminal actions.

Well, those Laws were just thrown in the trash by this Court.

Kudos to AOC for doing the right thing now.

- all because Traitor Trump the Big Lie J6 Criminal is running for president.

One of the funny/sad thing about Trumpers is that so many claim to be anti-corporate, anti-globalist radicals... when they let some waddling billionaire globalist corporatist con artist convince them he is, 'for the little guy!'.

It's hilarious, really. They are truly blinded by their hate.

- Both of your parties are ridiculous.

True, but only one of them has a Mafia Don as leader.

- That excludes you.

Demanding whom?

There's not another candidate that matches up as well.

And the news of his demise is very much premature.

Indies don't actually love criminals.

McConnell's lame excuse for not convicting Trump in the Impeachment was that there were other laws that could be used to hold him accountable.

An argument that can't be used after this Rwing SC Coup of Justice.

Are you saying that if vaginas had ammo, we'd still have Row?

Interesting....

less likely

- We'll be fine regardless of the outcome between the fraud and the fossil.

No we won't... the criminal just got a Get Out of Jail FREE card from the Supreme Court.

Of course, smart voters may realize this and vote for the fossil instead.

Here's the best short talk you'll hear on why there is now only ONE Campaign Issue....

Let's talk about politics, SCOTUS, and immunity....

Traitors for Trump... they stick together.

And, ironically enough, the Republic experiment will have failed because of, "Republicans".

Not even close...

"There is no way to change that outcome in the short term.

In the long term, the only way to undo the authoritarianism the court has just ushered in is to expand the Supreme Court.

Democrats would have to win the upcoming presidential election and the House and the Senate. Then Congress would have to pass a law expanding the number of justices on the Supreme Court; then the Senate would have to pass that law as well, which, at a minimum, would likely have to include getting rid of the filibuster.

Then the president would have to sign such a bill, and appoint additional Supreme Court justices who do not think that presidents should be kings, then those justices would have to be confirmed.

And all of that would have to happen before the current Supreme Court hears whatever Trump appeal from his January 6 charges comes up next, because if court expansion happens after the current Supreme Court dismisses the charges against him, double jeopardy will attach and Trump can never be prosecuted again under a less-fascist court.

So, since that's not going to happen, Trump won. He won completely.

He tried to overthrow the government, and he got away with it. I cannot even imagine what he'll try if he is actually given power again, knowing full well that he will never be held accountable for literal crimes."

The article explains why....

"Take the now classic example of a president ordering Seal Team Six to assassinate a political rival.

According to the logic of the Republicans on the Supreme Court, that would likely be an official act.

According to their logic, there is also no way to prove it's "unofficial," because any conversation the president has with their military advisers (where, for instance, the president tells them why they want a particular person assassinated) is official and cannot be used against them.

.

There will doubtless be people still wondering if Trump can somehow be prosecuted: The answer is "no."

Special counsel Jack Smith will surely argue that presenting fake electors in connection with his cadre of campaign sycophants was not an "official act."

Lower court judges may well agree. But when that appeal gets back to the Supreme Court next year, the same justices who just ruled that Trump is entitled to absolute immunity will surely rule that submitting fake electors was also part of Trump's "official" responsibilities."

.

You really need to read the rest at the link article... about how there's nothing the Dems can do about this, even if they were to manage to create a more liberal court... and how that won't happen anyway.

But I'll leave you with this:

"If you ever wondered what you'd have done in ancient Rome, when the Roman Republic was shuttered and Augustus Caesar declared himself the "first" citizen of Rome, the answer is:

whatever you're doing right now.

It's what you would have done during the Restoration of King Charles II in England, and what you would have done when Napoleon declared himself emperor of France.

This, right here, is how republics die."

"Essentially, all he has to do is claim that everything he did to plot a coup was part of his "official" duties, and the Supreme Court provided no clear method or evidentiary standard that can be used to challenge that presumption.

Legally, there are two critical things to understand about the totality of the court's ruling here:

The immunity is absolute
There is no legislative way to get rid of what the court has given

On the first point, the immunity granted to Trump in this case far exceeds the immunity granted to, say, police officers or other government officials, when they act in their official capacities.

Those officials are granted "qualified" immunity from civil penalties. (it can be taken away)

Not so with Trump.

Presidents are now entitled to "absolute" immunity, which means that no matter what they do, the immunity cannot be lost. They are always and forever immune, no matter what evidence is brought to bear.

.

Moreover, unlike other officials, presidents are now entitled to absolute immunity from criminal charges.

Even a cop can be charged with, say, murder, even if they argue that killing people is part of their jobs. But not presidents. Presidents can murder, rape, steal, and pretty much do whatever they want, so long as they argue that murdering, raping, or stealing is part of the official job of the president of the United States.

There is no crime that pierces the veil of absolute immunity.

.

There will be Republicans and legal academics and whatever the hell job Jonathan Turley has who will go into overdrive arguing that the decision isn't as bad as all that.

These bad-faith actors will be quoted or even published in The Washington Post and The New York Times. They will argue that presidents can still be prosecuted for "unofficial acts," and so they will say that everything is fine.

,

But they will be wrong, because while the Supreme Court says "unofficial" acts are still prosecutable, the court has left nearly no sphere in which the president can be said to be acting "unofficially."

And more importantly, the court has left virtually no vector of evidence that can be deployed against a president to prove that their acts were "unofficial."

If trying to overthrow the government is "official," then what isn't?

And if we can't use the evidence of what the president says or does, because communications with their advisers, other government officials, and the public is "official," then how can we ever show that an act was taken "unofficially"?

.

A Wall Street Journal Opinion Piece?

That's where I go when I want Fair and Balanced New.... ROFL!

"Let's talk about Trump, SCOTUS, and the immunity decision....

"There are no kings in America. Each, each of us is equal before the law. No one, no one is above the law, not even the president of the United States," Biden said in a speech from the White House.

"(With) today's Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed. For all practical purposes, there are virtually no limits on what the president can do.

It's a fundamentally new principle and it's a dangerous precedent because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law even including the supreme court of the United States."

Biden repeatedly warned that the limits of the president's power now solely rest with the choices made by the holder of the office. He said Trump would be a danger in that role.

- because it's Trump.

SO... the DOJ can't go after the Fake Ballots Conspiracy, in which his own DOJ Trumpers threatened to resign en masse, but they MAY be able to go after the Plan B Fake Electors scheme, which almost werked.

Interestingly, the Ruling basically admits that Trump DID, as his own DOJ Leadership say he did, illegally try to get them to send a Letter to States changing the Ballot votes in his favor.

"it's Trump" because he broke the Law numerous times trying to overturn the Election.

His Cult obviously couldn't care less about that.
