The right isn't the right anymore. It moved diagonally into fascism.

It's hilarious that Trump is still going on about being prosecuted by Biden when the SC decision basically said it was legal, even if Biden was directing it.

It's weird to me seeing the trend of deer with wolf mouths and teeth going around right now. I literally wrote a scene of a man being stalked by such a creature for a wip last year.

They THINK they want violence, because they think the system will be enough to hold us back. They're just praying we don't remember that we outnumber them, and our people are in the system too.

I really want a time traveler to show up right now and assure me everything will work out in the end.

As someone who has actually watched myself get left behind for doing what's right while others blatantly cheat in every way This is a very bad take.

But, maybe we shouldn't be looking at Trump. He is 78, obese, addicted to McDonald's, and rapidly descending into dementia. He's as likely to keel over before his next term ends as Biden is. We should probably keep an eye on who Trump's VP ends up being.

If RBG had stepped down, these rulings would just be 5-4 instead of 6-3. Likewise, if Sotomayor stepped down now, the GOP would block every attempt at filling her seat, just like they blocked Garland for a year and a half.

The article is trying to make the claim this decision was made after much soul searching and analysis of legal precedent by the 6 who voted for it. Like this wasn't the plan since McConnell stonewalled Garland's appointment for a year and a half...

It's worth pointing out that due to the SC rulings, Trump's claims about Biden weaponizing the DOJ against him would be perfectly legal now if they were true.

To be fair, the charges that brought this case to the supreme court do involve an attempted coup... But, every claim Trump has made about Biden using the DOJ against him (even if proven false) are now legitimately legal if they were true.

The most this really means right now is that Trump's court cases won't happen before the election. The SC sent it back down for further clarification in addition to their ruling. They'll rule, another appeal will bring it back up. Min. 6 months to another year before this is actually decided.

The funny thing to me about this part is that it means if Biden WAS targeting him with the DOJ like Trump says, it would be completely within Biden's power and legal.

This Supreme Court decision is bad, but there's also a lot of reasons it doesn't actually mean anything yet. 1. They tossed it back to lower courts to determine what is an "official act". 2. The President has no official involvement in holding or certifying elections.

Which, we know will simply get challenged by Trump's lawyers again, trying to push the questions of what are official acts BACK to the SC as needed for time.

Before we get to despair, today's ruling likely only means Trump's other court cases won't see anything else before the election. They dropped it back to lower courts to decide what acts are official. Courts that already said these charges could be brought.
