@_cjt_@dilanesper No. That is not correct. Please try to prove yourself wrong (ask AI yourself, if that’s what will help you). There are many resources available if you continue to be confused. This should be GOOD news to you if you don’t like the idea of unchecked executive power btw.
@_cjt_@dilanesper As long as what? The act is within their official capacity. What happens if the act was not within their official capacity, for example, acted before they took office? No immunity. That’s what you’re continuing to misapprehend.
@_cjt_@dilanesper I’m telling you to take SCOTUS’s word for it but you don’t have the intellectual firepower to understand why you’ve misunderstood the law despite identifying the correct authority.
@_cjt_@dilanesper I said immunity applies to official acts. If an executive, judge, or legislator committed fraud in the context of applying for immigration prior to taking office, that isn’t an official act. That’s why separation of powers is not relevant.
@_cjt_@dilanesper Can you read entire sentences bc the clause after “absolute immunity” will help you understand the distinction and why my confessional staffing analogy was relevant
@NomDeFlume Also, crucially, they are literally talking about prostitutes, and they seem confused about that. Surely they are not trying to date prostitutes, so what is there to bemoan?
@olivertraldi Overall the Cornell situation seems like a very weird situation of a girl looking to join a throuple (based on the subsequent texting) so naturally we will all wildly overextrapolate based on one extreme edge case; in its inexplicably it lets us project whatever we want onto it
@olivertraldi We have a problem with terminology. “Dating” is over-broad in that it includes everything from trying to get laid this week to trying to get married this year. When men say they are struggling with “dating” they (often) mean struggling to getting laid. Women don’t mean that.
@olivertraldi No, it was slowly eroded at. We used to ban test drives altogether. Then we all agreed, well don’t BOTH parties need more information before commitment? But that only works if both sides are doing due diligence. It fails when men are scamming for free rides.
