Right-wing legal talking heads are focusing on arguing that it is RIDICULOUS to say that a second-term Trump will be empowered by immunity to do horrific things, while carefully preparing to argue in seven months that it is RIGHT that Trump do horrific things which aren’t actually horrific anyway.

Republicans are fearful of Sotomayor’s dissent. Trump has already threatened to execute Cheney. Democratic turnout will be off the hook. The fear is extreme. Biden’s speech? Pushed by gaslighting Republican media hoping to deflect. Biden’s poll numbers are stable. @chrislhayes.bsky.social

The whole course of the R party for the past few decades has been the emergence of trollocracy. Winning office by out-trolling the opponent, then distracting the media and public with non-stop trolling to allow them to govern in the interest of big donors.

"And in fact if he actually does them then it's perfectly fine and nothing to see here because 2/3 of the Supreme Court said so in a ruling I never read but heard about from Charlie Kirk."

Trump is currently stating that the Supreme Court ruling allows him to cook the books and make illegal hush money payments.

The argument also seems overly focused only on the election crimes trump will commit. Amongst other criminal activities, trump will be selling pardons on day 1 of a second term.

I’ve avoided running for office because I don’t want a target on my back in my deep red state, but it’s getting harder to sit back while all this happens. The gop took the states first. We can’t forget to go all the way down to grass roots.

It's so weird because with Trump we don't even have to resort to hypotheticals! He ALREADY did horrific things last time and we know for a fact he wanted to do even more horrific things and was barely held back with threats of legal repercussions!

There is no depth to which Jonathan Turley will not sink. He’ll say that Trump will never do the outrageous things Trump threatens to do, and that there are laws in place to prevent it, then when Trump does them he will say the laws don’t apply and that Trump was forced to do the things by woke.

NYT lying: "The Court ruled that presidents are presumed to be shielded from prosecution for official acts. That includes policy changes, military decisions and discussions with other administration officials. It doesn't include, for example, private acts taken exclusively as a political candidate."

I just remember the lists of “What Trump has accomplished so far!” that went around the social media in 2018/2019. Line after line of things that were either immoral, done incompetently, or simply out of left field. Things that were abhorrent to me.

Would it be about accurate to say that the immunity decision still allows Prez actions to be struck down as illegal/unconstitutional, but OTOH POTUS could just have those judges killed?
