@AllenTaryn68974@pinkgiantjay He's condemning and rejecting it, willfully, in the face of knowing better, or at minimum having been presented with demonstrable fact. That's feigning contrary, non-existant knowledge. Textbook willful ignorance. Don't look now, but a trend appears to be developing.
@AllenTaryn68974@pinkgiantjay Refusing to acknowledge that the term "boy" is a term of endearment and not to be taken literally among inhabitants of this community is a particularly serious form of willful ignorance. But, then, you don't think THAT's weird.
@Grandkidsrfunny@allenanalysis Wrong again MAGAtts. Your crackpot exploit, overreaching perversions of the United States are quickly coming to an end. These irresponsible, whitewashing attempts to deny reality for your own feelings and politically motivated gain are unsustainable.
@JJeffrey100@MikeNellis Nice try. Actually, there is not now, has, nor shall ever be even scant indication, much less actual evidence, linking those residents to any association at all w/Tren de Aragua. Roger Ailes "some say" gossip sown seeds of suspicion. No probable cause whatsoever. Just excuses.
@RG3424@MalcolmNance In a parliamentary election on March 11th, the Demokratit party led by Jens-Fredarik Nielsen received 30%, less than one-third of the vote to form a ruling government. They campaigned on a gradual approach toward independence dependent strengthened economy. It's not a mandate.
@KaczurThomas@EllenBarkin@ClaudetteGGibs1 Not one single accusation nor your "trillions" hyperbole are factual. Yours is the actual TDS. You'll no longer be able to harbor your own facts soon as Trumptymania crumbles under the sheer weight of MAGA delusional overreach.
@freedomcenterlu Despotism, authoritarian rule shutting out the will of the people under rule is the defining factor, the aspect breaking the public trust, destroying the validity of that despotic control.
@AwokeKnowing@alfranken Courts do not hear cases where there's no there there no matter how many times you repeat your Neverneverland is an actual place. It's the difference between real and make believe. You were talking about narrative? Grow TFU
@floridanow1@elonmusk How is anything about Project 2025 moral, much less superior? How is lying about everything to gain the upper hand to put 2025 to place? The intolerance is about the right's unchecked, unmitigated hypocrisy. The reaction is over the many layers of avarice and subterfuge.
@Mock43754040@Logically_JC Because abortion is rarely, if ever,a moral issue. It is, however, specifically a manufactured, manipulative, Jerry Fallwell/so-called and cynically mis-nomered "Moral Majority" wedge issue made to gin up emotional, non-thinking hysteria.
@RealVinnieJames @harris_wins Political parties first began selecting candidates by primary ballot in 1910. Prior to that candidates were mostly selected by party bosses in "smoke filled back rooms" that then informed party conventions to make the designation official by delegates' (rubber stamp) vote.
Today’s Supreme Court decision on Donald Trump’s immunity claim is far worse than anything I imagined...
Effectively giving a president immunity for any crimes committed while in office as long as that president can plausibly claim the action was taken in some form of official capacity.
It must now be presumed that the president, as king, is immune from accountability.
The rule of law applies to everyone except the most powerful person on Earth.
It would be difficult to overstate how much this opinion shifts the balance of power away from Congress and towards the presidency, and how unshackled a corrupt president will now be. The Court gives the president absolute power, and it will corrupt him, absolutely.
As Justice Sotomayor says so powerfully, this new immunity ‘now lies about like a loaded weapon’ for any President that wishes to place his own interests, his own political survival, or his own financial gain, above the interests of the Nation.’
The Court holds that when a president acts within his ‘core’ authority, he is fully immune.
And when he acts outside his core authority, but in an official capacity, the presumption of immunity is so strong as to be nearly absolute.
Even if he acts in a purely personal capacity, and the Court majority gives no indication of when that would be, his statements while acting officially may not be used as evidence, and his motives may not be questioned.
Having taken up a case they never should have, having waited until the last day to issue the opinion, having known it was the defendant’s strategy to deny justice by delaying it, the Court now remands the case for further proceedings of indeterminate length, ensuring there will be no accountability for Trump’s insurrectionist crimes before the election.
During his abortive coup attempt, Trump told his acting attorney general and other top Justice Department officials to ‘just say that the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen.’
Now the Supreme Court says he is immune from ordering his Justice Department to lie, and the evidence of his malice, his very words, may not be used as evidence against him.
Under this ruling, a president can order the assassination or jailing of their political rival, and be immune. They can take a bribe in exchange for an official act, and still be immune. They can organize a military coup to hold onto power, and still be immune. If that sounds mad, that’s because it is.
This is a day that will live in legal infamy.
When justices on the Court that bears Roberts’ name, paid back their appointment by a corrupt president with an opinion that provides immunity to all corrupt presidents, and weakened our democracy and the rule of law for the ages.
Our only remedy is the ballot box, a new congress, and a new Court — that has more reverence for the Constitution than the lust for power.
