The Supremes ruled that a POTUS has immunity for actions directly related to his office, but not personal actions (without defining what those are) so Trump is trying to erase his felony convictions by claiming that paying porn stars hush money for sex is “official POTUS business,” as expected

Today's historic pic: Coupled 1929-built H-type trams 376+377 before running a Glenelg peak express trip from Victoria Square, Adelaide, SA, Jan 19, 2004. Just a couple of these express trips ran each weekday. H types last ran in 2006. This terminus was bypassed when the line was extended in 2007

Hey fellow late Gen X/Early Millennial Aussies, If you're between 45-50, follow the link to get a free bowel cancer screening kit. The incidence of bowel cancer in younger people is increasing, so it's worth checking for peace of mind. Treatments and outcomes are better if caught early.

How is getting sick over and over better than NOT getting sick? Fitted K/N95 masks work. Masks are inconvenient? So is chronic illness & disability

It is good to keep in mind that imposing full authoritarian control across the gigantic and highly populated US, especially in extremely uncooperative blue states and cities, is going to be a gigantic operational and logistics challenge for a theoretical Trumpian reign of terror.

Reporters *could* shout questions at John Roberts et al when he shows his head outside his workplace or home, as they sometimes do with other significant political figures. They just choose not to because they like to help preserve the Court's "we aren't politicians" charade.

Living under authoritarian regimes is both relatively boring and normal AND incredibly corrosive to the human soul. These things can absolutely co-exist. This is why everyone needs to resist authoritarians, even people who privately assume they’ll be just fine.

As opposition to AUKUS mounts, stand by for the government line that it’s a technology sharing agreement, not a military alliance.

This is, of course, bullshit.

Remember who had did all of that agenda- and parameter-setting around terms like "activist judges" and "politicizing the courts?" They were telling you what they were going to do. When they accuse, they are always telling you what they are going to do.

reflecting on the immunity decision a bit, what the Court seems to be saying is that every element of the executive branch is at the President’s disposal, no matter what he wants to use it for. his motives don’t matter. the office is a weapon to be wielded however he sees fit.

I spent a summer in Beijing a couple of years after Tiananmen. Most of the people I interacted with seemed fairly happy. Also, they held a mass execution in a soccer stadium and who the hell knows if they were guilty or just pissed off the wrong people.
