Wondering why so many of those who most stringently claim Jesus in their lives too often exhibit no Jesus-like behavior....

@ABC Why do the hosts keep letting Trump rant about any little thing??!! And then let him have the last word over & over again??!!

You might be hearing that a president still could be prosecuted even for official acts if the presumption of immunity is rebutted. But that ignores three more granular features of the opinion that are akin to prosecutorial roadblocks. 1/

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

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.

@MeidasTouch Omg… so classic. The ultimate years-long brainwashing op that is FOX “News” throwing falsehoods elsewhere…. 🤦

[FedUpWithGOP @sengelsUS]

@Angry_Staffer So….. they’ve got angry, dried up has-been white guys…. Yep, I like our odds as well!

[FedUpWithGOP @sengelsUS]

@ChrisHoroshak @RonFilipkowski @AlinaHabba “New York Post” — Doesn’t that say it all? Barely a notch above The Enquirer.

[FedUpWithGOP @sengelsUS]

@patriottakes Wtf??? Who’s gonna tell him…. 🤣😂

[FedUpWithGOP @sengelsUS]

@SarahisCensored @dewey_cheatham And… you’d turn down help from an organization which specifically speaks to protect civil rights just because you don’t agree with them fighting to protect someone ELSE’S civil rights… You have determined their rights are less worthy than your own. Uh huh.

[FedUpWithGOP @sengelsUS]

@SarahisCensored @dewey_cheatham The “mutualization” of children? Your lack of “journalist” credentials is showing….

[FedUpWithGOP @sengelsUS]

@SarahisCensored Does such a thing exist? Texas is as corrupt a state as ever existed….

[FedUpWithGOP @sengelsUS]

@EdKrassen No, I don’t feel bad at all. He made his bed and he alone is now responsible for laying in it. He could have listened to more reasonable minds along the way, but he chose not to. As the MAGA “Christian” crowd likes to point out, he now reaps what he has sown.

[FedUpWithGOP @sengelsUS]

@JE_Investments @powa2dapipo @EdKrassen Rarely???? We’ve seen nothing but sh*t from the whole MAGA crowd since 2016, non-stop. TFG made it okay for his zombies to release their inner sh*tiness. The GOP has now become nothing but a party of a**holes and conspiracy theorists who can’t govern their way out of a paper bag.

[FedUpWithGOP @sengelsUS]

@JE_Investments @EdKrassen False equivalence. But you know that. And if you don’t, you don’t have the reasoning to handle anyone’s money.

[FedUpWithGOP @sengelsUS]

@joncoopertweets Nah… Nope. That’ll be just the right push to grow alternate sites.

[FedUpWithGOP @sengelsUS]

@MathewCitM @JoJoFromJerz Are you hearing yourself? You’re commenting on a thread whereby MAGAs are literally torching books, the very manifestation of “forcible suppression of opposition.”
Don’t get me started on “centralized autocracy” (Trump), and militarism as a GOP theme.

[FedUpWithGOP @sengelsUS]

@CalltoActivism It’s “and” not “or.”

[FedUpWithGOP @sengelsUS]

@OleManPatriot @CheeqeeRises @laurenboebert Of course Trump didn’t let Putin do shit. Trump did it all for him! 🤣

[FedUpWithGOP @sengelsUS]

@reality_wit @InsideWithPsaki @jrpsaki Except they’re not at all the same. You may have personal issues with both sides, and that’s reasonable, but the pro-life side is really only pro-birth at all costs, while the pro-choice side advocates letting women & their doctors make the best decision in given circumstances.

[FedUpWithGOP @sengelsUS]

@InsideWithPsaki @jrpsaki “Pro-baby” until that baby is born, when the “Pro” ends.

Dems would do well to hammer on all the ways the GOP fails those babies after birth, highlighting the lack of medical access and social services, lack of gun control, lack of meaningful child care choices, etc., etc…..

[FedUpWithGOP @sengelsUS]

@MarinaMedvin @yashar Not difficult to find unless one chooses to live under their own rock.
