So, how all this fits in with executive orders, I guess they could be challenged in the supreme court, the same way Trump's was when he banned many people from Muslim majority populated nations from entering the US.

So, congress could pass a law that the Pres is not immune, but then it could be argued in the Supreme Court that law was unconstitutional, and be overturned in favour of the Pres being immune again.

All those things could be challenged in the supreme court because it would need congress to make them laws. He wasn't granted powers to make any laws, but if he wanted to remove people he could officially remove, he could argue sending seal team six to assassinate them was just removing them.

One of the most head-spinning but largely unchallenged fossil industry lies in Australia is a monthly "warning" issued that there's a "gas shortage" which requires a million new gas fields to be opened up.
More gas is burned *just to process gas exports* than is used domestically in manufacturing.

The thing that pops into my memory here is that during the first few days / weeks of the Yassmin Abdel-Magied outrage, a huge swathe of white centre-left "progressives" either quietly condemned her or said nothing at all.
