Donald Trump is unfit for office by reasons of moral turpitude and corrupt character. It's up to us regular citizens to stop him. Check your voter registration and show up on November 5th. That's really all there is to say about the immunity decision.

It upsets tankies to ask how much quicker the allies would’ve defeated Germany if they didn’t give 400,000 vehicles, 14,000 aeroplanes and 13,000 tanks to USSR. But facts are imperialist.
