Former President Donald Trump ramped up his threats to prosecute President Joe Biden if he wins another term in the White House.An appeals court rejected Trump's claims of immunity in the federal election subversion case in the District of Columbia, although he intends to press the same argument in ...
Just this whole attitude towards the thing shows how crooked he is. As far as I can tell, Biden has tried to remain hands-off from the Justice Dept and just let them do their own thing to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. And I believe that’s more or less been how most Presidents have tried to behave since maybe Nixon EXCEPT for Trump, who seems to view it as his own personal legal hit-squad, to be used for just litigating people he doesn’t like, instead of… y’know, administering justice. He completely misunderstands the purpose of government and really should not be allowed anywhere near the position. He should be rotting in prison now, he’s a complete shitstain on history.
“If a President does not have Immunity, the Opposing Party, during his/her term in Office, can extort and blackmail the President by saying that, ‘if you don’t give us everything we want, we will Indict you for things you did while in Office,’ even if everything done was totally Legal and Appropriate,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Leave it to Donnie to misrepresent what the ruling means. Presidents still enjoy lots of immunity, especially where it pertains to their “color of office” duties. They just don’t have total immunity from anything and everything, especially where it doesn’t pertain to their duties. We do not have monarchs or dictators.
So no, you can’t just shoot someone on Fifth Ave and declare Presidential Immunity to avoid justice, and you can’t just steal government secrets to use as business leverage, and you can’t make phone calls to heads of states to “find votes,” and you can’t incite an insurrection and claim plausible deniability.
Eat shit. I hope you get no sleep because of these rulings.
Yeah but what if the person on fifth Avenue was literally holding the original constitution and threatening to tear it in half? Would presidential immunity apply then?
Realize this, fatty donnie, you have a cap of voters. A cap which, you can't even guarantee that you'll meet by the general election should your ass somehow squeak by being on the ballot in every state. You're going to lose because you're a loser in denial, in life, in election and as a human being.
Oh and I bet Donnie has shit through several diapers too throughout this trial. Yeah, imagine that, electing a diaper-shitting president. Good on ya, republitards.
I wish I shared your optimism, but I’ve read way too many YouTube comments. There is no shortage of knuckle-dragging soldiers waiting to do Trump’s bidding. It is beyond scary how many of them there are, and I don’t see the problem just magically disappearing if/when old Adolf Shitler finally sees some consequences. Now that there is a permanent strategic unification between Evangelicals, Fascists, and Capitalists they will continue to use their uneducated, quickly reproducing, white-trash, zombie army to do their collective bidding.
At this point yes, but it is a relatively modern development for there to be so much organized mobilization of these factional groups. The most dangerous thing that Trump accomplished was getting them all to identify as one big in-group, so there really is no functional difference anymore.
They are about 3 minutes from eating their own. They are just barely holding their party together and I really don’t think Donny can bring them together this time, what with being so busy trying not to go broke and go to jail.
They’ll turn on each other the moment they can. Just look at the Minnesota GOP. They literally cannot resist dividing because they’re beliefs are so fucking specific and niche and everyone who doesn’t fall in line with them is a ‘rino’
Keep the requests coming, I want to learn more popcorn secrets. I’m a butter and salt person. I grind my salt in my coffee grinder to a fine powder though and use that, I get better coverage.
While nicely frugal, I just buy a small shaker of popcorn salt for $2. A shaker lasts roughly one human lifetime if not accidentally spilled all over the counter.
The best popcorn is the popcorn you add weird toppings to.
Garlic and onion is my favorite, but you can use basically any seasoning shaker. I use a spray bottle of distilled water, spray on, add flavor shaker, done.
Super low calorie option that still tastes great. You can use oil if you want but it really doesn’t add much when you have actual flavors.
You can do the same thing with sweet flavors if you want, cinnamon sugar or drink powder mixed with sugar make for great sweet popcorns.
I bet that protectees ordering each others assassinations or getting in a physical fight with each other wasn’t something the Secret Service thought about before, but definitely thinks about now
Maybe they can kill two birds with one stone - visit him about this threat to the president, and quickly check in the hidden room that they missed during the mar a lardo search warrant.
I think they politely enquired as to whether there was anything they ought to see in the hidden room. When Trump confirmed that there was not, they accepted that claim at face value, because trump would never lie… right ?
Member how the entirety of the DCI’s TLDs did sweet fuckall about Trump while he was in office? Even after Mueller found there was significant cause to charge him? Well, that’s not because they’re incompetent necessarily.
Maybe. But he’s not outright threatening assassins in the night. (They’re too incompetent for that. They’ll show up in the day and ask the secret service for directions to his office.)
I feel like the absolute harshest punishment I can reasonably see him ever facing is nothing more than a ban from holding public office.
That’s it.
Maaaaaybe a few months of house arrest at Mar a Lago. Maybe punitive fines.
No prison time. Nothing that will affect his wealth. Nothing that will deplatform him as the grotesque figurehead of American conservatism until he dies.
I’m confident he will play kingmaker for that half of the American political landscape until he’s dead.
Nah, the feds know where those missing top-secret files ended up at by now. The DoJ doesn't spend this amount of time, money & manpower to hand out a slap on the wrist.
Nothing that will affect his wealth.
New York is quite literally about to make Trump insolvent.
Yes, literally. It would have been last week, but Judge Engorgon decided he needed to tack on more zeros since he discovered Trump's financial controller committed perjury in his court room.
I love his “I’m bored” stupid faces hes forced to make when in court 😭🤣 not even in his wildest dreams he imagined himself in that position and the DC jan 6 criminal onel seems to be primed for this summer 🤩🍿
Are there any kind of standards on sources here? Raw Story is garbage, and this article basically boils down to a clickbait headline about a Truth Social post.
He’s been floating this shit for months and just yesterday his lap dogs in the house tried to impeach Mayorkas cause they had nothing on Biden, he’s said “I’m your retribution”. This whole “presidents need immunity cause they would be subject to harassment when leaving office” is thinly veiled code for I’m gonna do it. The crucial part is that if you’re not a declared criminal that gets difficult to accomplish when indictments are handed down by a jury
Difference between most Democrats and Republicans is that if a Democrat committed a crime another Democrat would want them prosecuted, same if a Republican committed a crime. Whereas if a Republican committed a crime other Republicans want the charges dropped and if a Democrat committed a crime they’d be calling for the death penalty.
Crimes are bad, mmm-kay. Doesn’t matter what side you’re on, mmm-kay. So, let’s not be bad, mmm-kay.
People give my “deep blue” state crap for corruption because so many of our politicians have been sent to prison for it.
… Ignoring that they’re in prison because we actually investigate and charge our politicians for corruption, unlike their corrupt as hell states where those people are protected.
Out of the courtroom? Joe Biden could Terminator march into the courtroom and cap everyone! Who could stop him? Any judge ruling Trump’s way would simply put a hand over the gushing wound in their heart and say “God bless America” as everyone is summarily executed by order of the President. I can only assume it would be illegal to stop him at that point.
