Eddie Murphy pulled up to Saturday Night Live after over thirty years & absolutely fucking crushed it. This episode became an instant classic the second it aired in December ‘19. Murphy’s humor is effortless. He makes it look so easy. The man’s been doing it for four decades.

Justice JACKSON standing up for voting rights. 🔥

Louisiana: Plaintiffs said 'we want another majority-black district.'

Jackson: No. They said 'we aren't receiving equal electoral opportunity because our votes are being diluted.'

Louisiana: Same thing.

Jackson: No, it’s not.

BREAKING: Trump just broke multiple FEDERAL laws and went against Article II of the US Constitution with this post:

Election Interference

- 18 U.S.C. § 595: bars federal officials from using “official authority” to interfere with or affect the nomination or election of candidates.

Bribery / Extortion-like statutes

- 18 U.S.C. § 201 (bribery of public officials) or § 872 (extortion under color of official right) could be argued if funds were used as leverage to coerce political outcomes.

Civil Rights Violations

- Retaliating against voters or cities for election choices could violate 18 U.S.C. § 241 (conspiracy against rights) or § 242 (deprivation of rights under color of law).

Constitutional Violations

- Violates Appropriations Clause, Take Care Clause, and First Amendment protections. Even if prosecutors declined charges, it would clearly be grounds for impeachment/abuse of power.
