    Just listening to this nonsense is utterly disturbing 😡
  • I had a 1976 Plymouth duster when I was a kid that I bought from a friend for $100. I probably overpaid by $95. It ran better than the entire justice system.

    Sure he can,……. If he don’t mind being expire by the sitting president, “ trump’s OWN words “. “ 🙏 “
  • What he did had nothing to do with presidential functions so why would he overturn it

    CLARIFICATION: The President has always had this immunity and the Supreme Court simply reaffirmed it. The issue here is it's being interpreted as an "absolute" immunity absolving the President of all crimes regardless of the time and nature. The Supreme Court didn't grant absolute immunity, they simply stated what was previously known and accepted which was that a President has immunity for acts relating to his position. That excludes anything not related or tied to his duties as President and to acts committed before or after his term(s). The media, either purposely or stupidly, is actually voicing exactly what Trump himself wants voiced by promoting a false narrative of an "absolute immunity ruling. " The Court did not grant it but did give the Far Right a false sense of victory.
  • Why did the Manhattan district attorney leave a federal job to become a local prosecutor just for this purpose?
  • Ok, but the crimes were committed before the Supreme Court ruling. So does that ruling suddenly go all the way back to the beginning of our country or only apply going forward?
  • He should have to go through with it like the peasants do, by fighting your sentence from jail.
  • Sharks, electric batteries in water, or criminal sentencing? Which would Trump choose?

    urge is actually short for corruption in this situation
