What Trump promised oil CEOs as he asked them to steer $1 billion to his campaign
Donald Trump has pledged to scrap President Biden’s policies on electric vehicles and wind energy, as well as other initiatives opposed by the fossil fuel industry.
On Thursday, the #scotus will be hearing arguments where lawyers for the criminal defendant are arguing that all former presidents are forever immune from criminal prosecution for any official acts done in office.
Failure to respect the election of a new President, is the ultimate crime against the people, who are the basis of government. The President, by constitutional design, should have no role- official or unofficial-in the determination of the people's
vote. Immunity for the crimes here alleged would be most abhorrent to the Framers, because immunity would upset the constitutional scheme and aid a President in overriding the people's power over him.
The Framers would also have been appalled that Trump, despite having left office, seeks permanent immunity. As a Federalist wrote for the Maryland ratifying convention:
It seems, however, that the president may possibly be continued for life. He may so, provided he deserve it.

If 45 gets immunity, that means 46 could issue orders to take out 45 as a NatSec risk, and replace the SCOTUS as a democracy and womens rights risk. Both coulda woulda shoulda scenarios falling under official duties then.

"Bottom-line" Capitalism. "Safety is waste, you just have to break the rules." #oceangate
"Interview shows Titanic expedition firm CEO say: 'Safety is waste'
He told CBS News: 'You know, there's a limit. At some point safety just is pure waste. | mean if you just want to be safe, don't get out of bed. ‘Don't get in your car. Don’t do anything. At some point, you're going to take some risk, and it really is a risk/reward question. I think I can do this just as safely by breaking the rules.'"
I'm very impressed by the "yes please beat me harder" types on social media.
