I kinda feel like now that the Supreme Court has declared it legal for a president to straight-up murder people they don't like, it's probably even more important to not elect people who seem extremely inclined to murder people they don't like

"Former President Donald J. Trump over the weekend escalated his vows to prosecute his political opponents, circulating posts on his social media website invoking “televised military tribunals."

Trump Amplifies Calls to Jail Top Elected Officials, Invokes Military Tribunalswww.nytimes.com A post that Mr. Trump circulated on Sunday called for Liz Cheney to be prosecuted by a military court reserved for enemy combatants and war criminals.

"Presidents can murder, rape, steal, and pretty much do whatever they want, so long as they argue that murdering, raping, or stealing is part of the official job of the president of the United States. There is no crime that pierces the veil of absolute immunity."

The President Can Now Assassinate You, Officiallywww.thenation.com Under this new standard, a president can go on a four-to-eight-year crime spree and then retire from public life, never to be held accountable.

Nixon did this (for scummy reasons of course) but it led to the composition of the court changing.

Well look on the bright side. The Biden campaign officials can use today's Supreme Court's decision to scare people into voting for them. It may actually be a winning political strategy 😂

"In this backhanded manner, Trump’s justices acknowledge that he poses a unique threat to constitutional government, one they just happen to support because he is their guy. These are not justices; these are Trump cronies. This is not legal reasoning; this is vandalism."

The Supreme Court’s ruling putting presidents above the law must be understood not simply as a grant of immunity for past crimes, but an enthusiastic endorsement of those he will commit if given the chance. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The Supreme Court Gives Its Blessing to Trump’s Criminalitywww.theatlantic.com And gives him permission for a despotic second term.

Folks this is a left leaning social media site....a safe space of sorts. Sometimes I just need to vent. I don't want my posts to be construed as legal exegesis or formal political strategies 😂

He forgot Christian fundamentalists.

"The new FLiRT subvariants, officially known as KP.3, KP.2 and KP.1.1, are believed to be roughly 20% more transmissible than their parent, JN.1, the winter’s dominant subvariant, Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious-disease expert at UC San Francisco, has said."

COVID cases keep rising in L.A. County due to FLiRT; Mayor Karen Bass tests positivewww.latimes.com The latest daily tally of new coronavirus cases is the highest since February, when the winter peak was falling. And it's an undercount.

My first read: If a president commits crimes unrelated to him being the most powerful person in the world, he can be prosecuted. But if explicitly uses his powers to commit crimes, he is at least presumptively, and probably absolutely immune from prosecution. I mean, holy shit.

Christian Europe from the 3rd century to the 16th century was the worst period for humanity in every way possible. Half of Europe died in the 5th century and 13th century. Racism scholar, George M. Fredrickson, traced modern day racism to that period. And yet crazies want more of that 🤷🏽‍♂️

“This is an ongoing project by Christian nationalists to turn this country to a theocratic state,” says Anthea Butler. Their goal, she says, is to “ make everyone else live under their kind of moral codes which they don't live under themselves.” #Velshi www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...
