    Tell me you don't understand the Presidential Immunity opinion without telling me you don't understand the Presidential Immunity opinion.

    All rules are null and void now. It's only sarcasm until it happens.

    legality aside what bothers me is that while it would surely be a minority, there would be a nonzero (and probably still alarming) percent of people who would say stuff like "the punishment for treason is death" and/or other bullshit justifications for how it was a good thing actually.

    He could just say it was an official act. What grounds would you even have to argue against that? It doesn't matter what you think, he's the one in charge

    During lunch, the wife of the couple seemed upset, so my wife asked what was wrong. She explained that she had been set to start a new job at the IRS but got a call the night before saying the offer had been rescinded.

    I swear, I didn’t mean to laugh, but a chuckle slipped out. She glared at me and asked why I thought it was funny.

    Me: “You both voted for Trump, right?”
    Them: “Yes.”
    Me: “You know he made it crystal clear that he planned to cut government jobs and that he and his billionaire friends despise the IRS, right?”
    Her: “Yes, I thought he’d cut the waste—the people who’ve been there forever.”
    Me: “So you voted for someone who openly said he’d gut jobs and funding at the organization you were about to work for... because you assumed it wouldn’t touch you?”
    Her: Death glare intensifies.
    Me: “You voted for this.”

    At that point, my wife smacked my arm and told me to let it go.
    lol

    i commend your ability to go that far in a lunch where you presumably were going to not walk out on, despite the tension

    we're completely cooked. honestly i completely expected something world-shifting (again) over the next few years. but now i think it's just gonna happen a lot more quickly than i'd hoped for.

    Could be worse, any time I bring this up in my family I get you I just don't understand politics and need to look at both sides.

    It's infuriating.

    He has to actually prove it was an official act and even if he finds a judge and SCOTUS to agree with him he only has immunity until he is impeached.

    The last impeachment definitely had a huge impact on him and prevented him from-

    Yes I'm sure he'll find a judge or get the SCOTUS to be down with consequence free open season on them and their colleagues.

    i mean they say this but it's my understanding that the majority of military, police, firefighters, etc. are trumpers.

    so i mean, you voted for this

    btw what at first missed in this how they equated what biden did as equal to trump. imagine being so delusional that you can't perceive this kind of scale.
