So, since this is a clear and flagrant violation of law, at least one prosecutor somewhere is going to sign an arrest warrant.
Right???
Trump already has the laws word that he is above the law
I don’t know how people keep forgetting this. Man could literally rape a child in the street or - as he put it - gun down someone on the streets of NYC and nobody can do a thing about it. Literally the only thing that could get him out of office right now is death. It can’t be explained any easier than that.
Good luck impeaching the bastard as well. People hoping for Democrats to get enough asses on seats are living in a fantasy world. We’ve already seen that they’re willing to cancel democratic elections to keep themselves in power. The only way he leaves office is in a coffin.
By all means come back to this in December 2028 and tell me I was wrong. I’d love to have this settled in a democratic manner, but that’s not going to happen. We’ve had little over 6 months of his dictatorship. We still have 7/8ths of his term left to go.
Well… the thing is, its not only him. All future Presidents have the same power and there will be a lot more corrupt politicians who will try to get this kind of power (especially for criminals).
The whole thing needs to be changed because it has been broken beyond repair
We have to start by voting in a more ethical government before we have any chance of persuading them to get this under control.
We’re asking them to curtail their own powers which will never happen with a narcissistic, corrupt authoritarian.
Actually it’s worse: this presumption of being above the law was enshrined by a sycophant Supreme Court. We’ll need a court of interested in upholding human rights, the constitution and checks and balances. Well probably also need an ethical Congress to pass laws curtailing the power of a colorist President, for an ethical court to rule on
I understand that bit. At the moment there’s nothing we can do about that, it’s not like the current administration is going to do anything at all to reverse that ruling.
I can see, however, that this is going to be an extremely difficult power to wrestle out of the hands of any future presidents as well. Nobody is going to want to give up that sort of power, and it would take huge pressure from the public for them to even consider it.
The irony is that I’m sure if the Democrats do get in, the same MAGA types who love this ruling for Trump will suddenly find it very troubling in someone else’s hands. “One rule for thee” and whatnot.
Any power or freedom that politicians give themselves is very difficult to take back
I live in a very socialistic country where we don’t mind paying s lot of tax, but politicians get special treatment when it comes to social welfare and especially pensions.
They have all campaigned to limit this bun none have done anything when they finally got into power. And this is in a fairly legit country where things seem to be pretty democratic
Laws are for pleebs now shut up and get back to work.
Add it to the pile.
Pile? That shit needs an entire warehouse.
No plausible deniability, either. There’s no way he could even argue that he thought it was true, but of course that doesn’t really matter at this point. His base is so fucking cooked if they believe this happened at all but especially without anyone else reporting on it.
Must be an “official act,” or he’d be in big trouble, right?
“It’s not illegal when a Republican does it.”
- Then Republican President Richard Nixon, paraphrased
Seems like some people have already forgotten recent Supreme Court precedent.
It’s not illegal when he does it.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
Sounds like someone needs to be sued. Again. Lmao tRumps a moron
If it’s an “official act”, it’s not illegal, or so SCOTUS says.
it’s only illegal if people deepfake trump and friends. everyone else, especially Democrats are fair game
Is it illegal?
unlawful for any person, in interstate or foreign commerce
What’s that bit mean in this case?
Trump is a rapist, convicted felon, and most likely a pedophile… does any one really care he broke this law?
I was asking about this particular case, well aware of his other crimes.
Not sure what that clause means. Anyone?
lol y’all misunderstanding the intention here. It’s to clearly state that this law does not bind them.
