Wow… The land of the free is really starting to fell like 1933 Germany now…
Presidents have immunity? Cool. Biden, time to order a hit on Trump.
He won’t and they factored that in the decision. If you apply Pascal’s Wager to state institutions, fascists always win if they manage to weaken the democratic safe guards, exactly because no one will go after them, but the minute they get the power they will go after everyone else.
Make sure to use official White House stationary for it, that way it’s official presidential business.
I’d be sending Seal Team Six around to visit Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh as well.
Time to order an official act on the billionaires.
Can’t wait for Americans becoming refugees on other countries en masse and getting a taste of the bitter medicine that was the way they treated foreign migrants for decades.
Hey so most of us are against this nonsense, republicans haven’t won the popular vote in well over a decade. We don’t really have a say in the matter, and haven’t in a pretty long time.
The people abandoning the US are the same people who fought tooth and nail against fascism. The fascist party is the one that’s full of people who salivate at the idea of mowing down people at the border with an M249
And you know we’ll bitch and moan the whole way “Don’t you know what I am? I’m a goddamn American! I have rights!” a la Randy Marsh.

The right-wing pundits who promoted the Federalist Society were always a little vague on what their version of “originalism” really entailed, which led to widespread suspicions that it just meant whatever was politically beneficial to conservatives.
The ruling on presidential immunity is just the latest piece of evidence that shows that originalism was just a confidence game by the right to gain power.
The court’s conservative majority has revealed itself to be a corrupt political machine with both short- and long-term goals.
The court’s immunity ruling is nearly a blank check for Trump, a brazen attempt to protect him from his ongoing criminal cases and to grant him virtually unlimited power if he gets back into the White House.
It is not hard to imagine how differently the justices would have ruled if the question of presidential immunity had come before them in a case involving a Democratic president.
In quick succession, they have gone after voting rights, affirmative action, gun control, environmental regulations, while sending out the word that now is a good time for conservative lawyers to bring their most extreme lawsuits to the court in order to create more right-wing precedents.
