This is insane that it’s even being considered. If they rule presidents have absolute immunity then Joe Biden could just throw Trump in jail and not have to answer for it, which I would not want any president to have the power to do
There is so much wrong with the US government. I don’t even know what a good solution is but I don’t think Trump is it. We probably need a hard progressive like Bernie or Butigeg
Honestly? If they rule Trump has absolute immunity, Biden should just order seal team six to take him out on the spot, since it would be entirely legal. But he most definitely won’t.
uUuUu wE Don’T wANt to Be thE oNes tO CReaTe a baD pReCEdeNt you stupid political fucks he is a racist psychopathic narcissist rapist mobster who doesn’t give a fuck about anything but himself. Dude has openly fucking promised to enact extreme, politically motivated retaliatory prosecution - including flagrant misuse of the DoJ and exploitation of their ongoing corruption of the judicial branch - on anyone who’s wronged him, just to start. And then there’s his plans for education. And immigration. And international policy. And so on.
When someone repeatedly and consistently tells you exactly who they fucking are in horrifying detail, you really should believe them.
Well said. I agree Biden would probably do nothing in that case. I also agree with everything you said. Unfortunately the people we want to rule, who stick to the rule of law and are focused on the betterment of citizens, always lose to the people who step outside the law and try to cling to power. I don’t think those people can be dealt within the confines of the law generally. Unless you mess up so bad you have 91 indictments. Even then it’s not guaranteed
Between this and the even more nonsensical 14^th^ Amendment ruling a few days ago, the Supreme Court has absolutely jettisoned every last single shred of credibility it might have still had. It is now 10000% crystal fucking clear that it is firmly in Trump’s pocket, and will do everything in its power to install him as dictator. Game over, we lose.
History is going to record McConnell denying Obama his rightful Supreme Court appointment as the tipping point at which American democracy’s downfall was assured.
All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy’s? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given.
“It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States.”
That’s not an endorsement. That’s just an acknowledgement of reality.
Using AI to deprive people of the means to live well isn’t just stupidity, it’s capitalism. Some of the harms are caused by stupidity but others are caused by malign ideology.
same thought. AI will accelerate stupidity and lazyness if done wrong, and a lot of advancement seems to be used explicitly to get it as wrong as possible for profit.
Stupid people are the easiest to manage/rule because they don’t have the tools to figure anything out. Fear and anger works very well on them - ask Putin or the Republican party leaders.
“The attempt here is to deprive them of the deal,” said Christopher Clark, a lawyer for UAV.
“It’s not like they went out and bought a lottery ticket,” Clark said of the co-founders. “They actually went out and did the work, they created Truth Social, and now the beneficiary of that, Donald Trump, doesn’t want to pay.”
“Not a unique story, unfortunately,” Clark said, referring to Trump’s infamous practice of contesting bills from contractors and lawyers.
