Not super ambiguous...

This!

Biden's age and poor debate showing is obviously a legit story, but what we've seen over the last week is a hysterical feeding frenzy aimed at some combination of self-vindication, settling old scores, claiming a scalp, and the desire of some in the media to have Trump back in power. (1/2)

"The decision makes talking to the VP a magic shield, as POTUS is presumed to have immunity for any discussion relating to official responsibilities. So, Trump pressuring Pence to not certify the election becomes official conduct because certifying the election falls within the VP's duties."

Nobody’s mentioned this, so I guess I will: Thomas wrote a separate concurrence just to note Jack Smith was illegally appointed, a question nobody asked.

If #Dems get a trifecta this November (take back the House and expand seats in the Senate), the VERY first pieces of legislation need to be an amendment to the Constitution that excludes convicted felons from running for president and to abolish the EC. (1/3)

BREAKING: The Galactic Court has declared that former Emperor Palpatine is immune from prosecution for any and all "official" acts during his time as Supreme Chancellor. It is unclear whether the case against him for Order 66 will proceed.

This. Because #SCOTUS is literally running pages of this playbook. We must not let the convicted felon back into the White House or they will actually turn this country into Gilead.

Looking for work absolutely sucks. I am generally okay with rejection, having done some acting and also having been a designer for an age. We get a lot of rejection. But to be told no repeatedly when I KNOW I’m more than qualified, honestly hurts, and I’d like for it to stop, please.

Trump is demanding immunity for his 1/6 crimes, arguing they were official acts undertaken in office. If courts agree, he'd be totally unshackled in a second term. I asked former WH lawyers what he'd be free to do. Their answers were unnerving. 1/ newrepublic.com/article/1779...
