  1. One thing that just occurred to me. The judgment says something like we are looking at this as someone indicted after they leave the executive, as though that was important to saying no immunity. But we’ve already had that, right? Spiro Agnew was indicted while he was VP for tax fraud, right?
  2. I think y’all just use this board for different reasons than other people do. I like to read it as a source of news, not because I feel some need to advocate for one side of the other. I know who I’m going to vote for. Biden. Of course. It’s just as clear this time as it was last time as it was the time before that who the better candidate is. But that doesn’t keep me from discussing the news aspect of this. And the news aspect of this is that the 81-year-old, who will be 85 at the end of the next term sure is acting like somebody that 81 right now. Y’all just want to qualifier with every post that says “but of course he is still better than Trump.“
  3. i think you literally described the case.
  4. different things. they can already do this. this is about mom going to jail for bad kids.
  5. that's not what the polls say. they seem to pretty consistently say haley outperforms trump. i think that is a result of for every MAGAt that disappears, wayward suburbanite backfills the gap.
  6. sounds like a win win. trump lives, biden wins. trump dies, well, trump dies.
  7. It is careful to say that it isn't sure its reasoning applies to criminal prosecution during his term (he might not have been able to be indicted Jan 7) and that it might not apply to state crimes (Alabama can't pass a law that makes it illegal to eat ice cream while wearing aviators and lie in wait to spring it on him). So he's got that immunity. But for federal criminal statutes, it says go for it. With respect to the implicit assumption that everyone seems to worry about ("They'll use this as a political excuse to grab every ex-president!"), the opinion just says If that's the case, why are we looking at this for the first time after 250 years of having presidents?
  8. sad world. parents are so shitty at being parents that we debate whether it is criminal. if she had a single "i tried this thing, it just didn't work" there never would have been an indictment in the first place. instead, it's just a lady that basically didn't care about signs of criminal future.
  9. 330,000,000 people in this country and we're somehow stuck with 'my retard is better than your retard.'
  10. i don't think it would be physically possible to draw two people that look less like swift and trump edit: nevermind, that dude isn't supposed to be trump, just wearing a trump shirt. i don't think it would be physically possible to draw someone that looks less like swift.
  11. some language on that in the opinion, which is a nice exposition on the history of our laws. Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist 69 (nice): "The President of the US would be liable to be impeached, tried and, upon conviction of treason, bribery or other high crimes or misdemeanors, removed from office; and would afterwards be liable to prosecution and punishment in the ordinary course of law." The court looked at that language and rejected Trump's argument that the 'afterwards' requires a prior conviction with impeachment. ". . . Hamilton stress that the President must be unlike the 'king of Great Britain,' who was 'sacred and inviolable.' It strains credulity that Hamilton would have endorsed a reading of the Impeachment Judgment Clause that shields Presidents from all criminal accountability unless they are first impeached and convicted by the Congress."
  12. fn 8: "We do not address policy considerations implicated in the prosecution of a sitting President or in a state prosecution of a President, sitting or former."
  13. yeah, i expect an entirely new brand of psychological effect from killing people in a way indistinguishable from an XBox.
  14. I watched BI a year or two ago. Surprised how shitty of a movie it was. Nudity really took the focus off the quality of the story.
  15. He’s the best president since FDR, so it should be very easy to say why he’s the right choice.
