Angus_Don Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 (edited) Is this immunity stuff mentioned in the Constitution somewhere because I thought these conservative originalists were all about what the constitution says about a matter. Abortion not mentioned overturn Roe states decide, Presidential immunity not mentioned lets make a set of rules with no legislative backing for them. Seems a bit hypocritical no?

Granny Danger Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I’d like to think that this latest ruling will cause undecided thinking people to consider the possible impact on a second Trump term. Then again there’s ‘thick as shit voters’ and ‘thick as shit US voters’. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a lot of open mutterings about how the constitution has failed them, so it needs to be rewritten. Essentially, we'll do what we want, which is very much the overriding theme now. What a fucking laugh it would be if this somehow ended in a communist revolution, using all of the tricks and tools that the fascists are trying. Obviously not, but an amusing thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Every time you think the United States can't f**k itself up any more, you get shit like this. As a resident of the neighbouring country it's really starting to get concerning. For the longest time I've satisfied myself with the fact that they have always been a bit fucked down there, but now they are really fucked 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Straight off the back of Biden doing an involuntarily impersonating of Lurch from the Adamms Family they find out they can't tie Trump up in lawsuits before the election. A bad week for the Dems. If they had a decent Presidential candidate, or policies that helped the working class they would have trounced Trump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Presidents have immunity. Americans love a gun. Can't Biden just officially fatally shoot the Donald in the face at their next debate? Obviously there are questions about his ability to point a gun the right way etc, but the strategists need to think outside the box here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agnostic polling of policies returns favorable ratings of Democratic policies averaging 20%+ more favorable than Trump’s. When they don’t identify the party, most respondents like Democratic polices significantly more…it’s just that people vote party over policy, many can’t even identify their party’s policies correctly. Thank goodness that Democrats and Republicans are mired at about 30-35% and 35-40% of the electorate, and the independents effectively make the decision. At least they sometimes look at policy.

Well, not FDR - the polio and all - but the rest of them will be thinking about what they could have done if they'd known this at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 (edited) Trump wants the hush money conviction overturned in light of the SCOTUS immunity ruling. Aye man baby, falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to a porn star definitely falls within the scope of an official Presidential act.

The identified issue is the use of statements (tweets, or truths, or whatever) that might now be inadmissible in both the Hush Money and Fraud cases.

Salt n Vinegar Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 With Biden's apparent slide into senility and the Supreme Court deciding that what America really needs is a monarchy, I've given up any hope of the Duck being kept out of the White House. There's nobody who seems willing to replace Biden, so that, as they say, is that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see how that would even potentially happen, but some strange s**t is going down. Now also rumours RFK Jr is facing sexual assault charges… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
