Former President Donald Trump ramped up his threats to prosecute President Joe Biden if he wins another term in the White House.An appeals court rejected Trump’s claims of immunity in the federal election subversion case in the District of Columbia, although he intends to press the same argument in …
“If a President does not have Immunity, the Opposing Party, during his/her term in Office, can extort and blackmail the President by saying that, ‘if you don’t give us everything we want, we will Indict you for things you did while in Office,’ even if everything done was totally Legal and Appropriate,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Leave it to Donnie to misrepresent what the ruling means. Presidents still enjoy lots of immunity, especially where it pertains to their “color of office” duties. They just don’t have total immunity from anything and everything, especially where it doesn’t pertain to their duties. We do not have monarchs or dictators.
So no, you can’t just shoot someone on Fifth Ave and declare Presidential Immunity to avoid justice, and you can’t just steal government secrets to use as business leverage, and you can’t make phone calls to heads of states to “find votes,” and you can’t incite an insurrection and claim plausible deniability.
Eat shit. I hope you get no sleep because of these rulings.
Yeah but what if the person on fifth Avenue was literally holding the original constitution and threatening to tear it in half? Would presidential immunity apply then?
Hear me out: what if the person had a pussy and you wanted to grab it?
In that case they let you do it because you’re famous
Fortunately OR unfortunately
Just this whole attitude towards the thing shows how crooked he is. As far as I can tell, Biden has tried to remain hands-off from the Justice Dept and just let them do their own thing to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. And I believe that’s more or less been how most Presidents have tried to behave since maybe Nixon EXCEPT for Trump, who seems to view it as his own personal legal hit-squad, to be used for just litigating people he doesn’t like, instead of… y’know, administering justice. He completely misunderstands the purpose of government and really should not be allowed anywhere near the position. He should be rotting in prison now, he’s a complete shitstain on history.
Can we just, lock him up already?
Please? Or at the very least break his jaw so he has to shut the fuck up while it heals?
We all know he’s guilty. We all know he’s a treasonous insurrectionist. We all know he belongs in prison.
We all know that any normal person would have been hanged by now.
Obama, Bush, and soon, Crooked Joe Biden, would all be in PRISON.
Promise?
and I’ll be there TOO to make sure they get what they DESERVE.
Headline is technically true but this is a non story.
Trump is mad about the appeals court ruling that he isn’t immune from prosecution and is lashing out.Everything about this turd is a non story except for the fact that he incited an insurrection on the US capital for which he has not been committed to prison or executed for. Now that’s a story.
Not just the attack, but he actively tried to secretly replace electors in states as well. We literally know he tried to cheat and are like, “it’s fine”.
No. I’d say his willful mishandling of a pandemic outbreak, for which he’ll never be punished, is a pretty fucking horrific story. Way worse than his little temper tantrum at the Capitol.
