April 25, 20242 yr Trump will lose the broad case but gain the timing delay he desperately desires as it is sent back to the lower courts to workout the specific details. That’s how I see it shaping up based on todays proceedings.

That's how. 3 hours ago, we_gotta_believe said: Because we share this country with mentally ill and incredibly stupid idiots who voted for and support Donald Trump. After Obama was elected, twice, they lost their gd minds!

April 26, 20242 yr Claiming POTUS has absolute immunity may be the least conservative thing I've ever heard. When I say Trumplikins are not conservatives, this is what I mean.

Alito may as well but don't be too sure about that.
April 26, 20242 yr Here's some food for thought. Truman dropped two atomic bombs on Japan. Should he have been charged as a war criminal for genocide or be immune. Obama ordered a hit on Bin Laden and civilians were killed. Should he have been charged with murder or be immune. Seems to me the above examples are of Official Acts that a President should not be charged with a crime. Clearly, trying to retain power, stage a coup and overturn an election is not an official act, nor would ordering seal team 6 to kill your political rivals. Nor would receiving a bag of cash for an appointment for an Ambassadorship or a bag of cash for a Pardon. While those functions are official, Bribery is a crime. Seems to me, any crime should revoke any possible immunity claim. It's so easy a monkey could figure this out.
April 26, 20242 yr it just seems obvious that trump is admitting to the world, that he cannot perform the duties of POTUS without breaking the law.
April 26, 20242 yr Trump may be indicted in Arizona and Michigan for his election crimes. Also, Trump is being investigated for campaign finance illegalities. Everything he does is a crime. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/25/us/politics/trump-campaign-finance-complaint.html A campaign watchdog group filed a formal complaint to the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday accusing Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign and related political committees of concealing payments of $7.2 million in legal fees by paying them through an unrelated shell company in violation of campaign finance law. At the center of the complaint, from the Campaign Legal Center, is the company that received the payments, Red Curve. The company is run by Bradley Crate, who is also the treasurer for the Trump campaign and four related political committees listed in the complaint, as well as for 200 other candidates and committees. In its complaint, the Campaign Legal Center said that the Trump political committees had used Red Curve, which did not appear to offer legal services, "as a conduit to conceal payments for legal services.” The group filed its complaint hours after The Daily Beast published an article about the payments to Red Curve. Neither Red Curve nor representatives of the Trump campaign responded to a request for comment. "This apparent payment scheme, however, violates the reporting requirements of the Federal Election Campaign Act,” the complaint said, "which requires that committees provide detailed information about who they are paying for services, and how much they are paying for those services.”
