It’s almost like “fighting government waste”, was just some bullshit excuse to get away with cheating customers. Who could have seen this coming?

What they said, was that a president can’t be prosecuted for “official acts” as president. Not that everything they do is legal.

It’s not a “loophole”. It’s just straight up illegal.

He’s what happens when you give a moron power.

I don’t understand why he doesn’t just produce the mountains of evidence that he’s been holding onto since 2020. I mean, that would completely exonerate him…and it might even result in Smartmatic having to pay him a huge settlement, just because of all the hardships he’s faced being the only one who knows the truth about all that election fraud.

Why is he so determined to go down in flames like this, when all he has to do to vindicate himself and Trump, is just to put that suitcase full of evidence in front of this very judge? Now’s his chance. Why does he hesitate?

You could even say, that was the plan all along.

A clear violation of the 14th amendment.

This is the way.

Of course he does. That’s how it works. You show him that you’re weak, and he’ll keep taking advantage of you.

So, they’re shutting down actual research in order to rehash this bullshit for the hundredth time?

Can we not just use the original definition, instead? It worked fine for decades, until right-wingers decided to reinvent it in order to push their propaganda.

Oh, I didn’t mean to imply that they should “always” be prosecuted for their crimes…only that the Supreme Court should have closed that loophole. There are many ways they could have drawn a distinction between justified actions and those that should be prosecuted.

Instead, they ruled that all “official acts” should be exempt from repercussions. That didn’t just leave the loophole open…it guaranteed it could be abused, without consequence.

Good lad.

So, all those research papers were written by AI? Huh.

So, in other words…he’s delusional and thinks this is a TV show and he’s the main character?

Another assault on due process.

From the way it was framed in the ruling itself, it seems like they were trying to legitimize the actions of past presidents, as well as insulate Trump from prosecution.

Every president in recent history, and many more beyond that, were guilty of crimes committed in the name of the office. Whether it be human rights violations, war crimes, or simply playing fast and loose with their Constitutional authority. Every single one of the living presidents should have been charged with all kinds of shit, due to their official actions. Bush for Iraq. Obama for his drone program. Trump for his handling of Covid. All of them are responsible for the deaths of tens or even hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians both in the US and around the world.

By all legal accounts, they should all be rotting in prison for what they did as president. But they aren’t. It’s always been a matter of unnoficial precedent that once they leave office, the slate is wiped clean. That seems to be what they were clarifying with the Trump ruling. All is forgiven, as long as it was an “official act”, in the service of the country.

The problem is, rather than close that loophole in the system, they chose to legitimize it. And now we have someone who has no problem abusing that privilege, in power again.

Unfortunately, this may be exactly why they aren’t trying to get him back. The entire reason he was in the US, was because he was being threatened by a gang in El Salvador.

So, is your account just restricted in Turkey? Or everywhere, based on local Turkish law?

It’s truly bizarre that the accusation of being a gang member was upheld by the judge, due to him “failing to present evidence” that he was not a gang member. How the fuck is he supposed to provide evidence of something that doesn’t exist?
