I guess MAGA is celebrating this as a win for them because they expect Trump to be President for the rest of his life?  Will Don Jr, Eric, Ivanka or Barron then succeed him? Will they change from MAGA to MAAM (Make America A Monarchy)? So many questions, and I hope MAGA has the answers.

 

The good news is if MAGA gets Trump installed for life, he won't need his people to work with foreign governments to help win an election, so that's nice.

Want to bet that there is no Trump effort to stay in office after 4 years, assuming that he wins?  The next thing you know, you'll tell us again how snappy Joe is.

There couldn't be any such effort, dolt, because he couldn't serve a third term. It's forbidden by this little ol' thingy called the Constitution. Ever heard of it?

 

Though I'm sure he's fantasizing about some way to circumvent all that and remain king until he croaks.

If I understand this correctly, Trump and all presidents have immunity from presidential executive decisions.  A president can't be sued for going to war, for example.  Presidents do not have unlimited immunity, however.  They can't murder someone and be off the hook.  That's a good and reasonable thing.

 

To be clear, past and current presidents are liable for actions taken before, during, and after their years in office.  For example, using 17 shell companies to launder money accumulated via a president and a son's illegals efforts to successfully sell goverment favors.

 

You guys will say that this is old news, but you said the same thing about Hunter Biden.  17 shell companies ain't there for nothing.

The beautiful part of the ruling is that judges get to decide what constitutes and "act of state" vs "an act of personal benefit".

 

 

Which one of those buckets is it when:

-Trump calls up a governor and asks him to find votes.

 

-Trump coordinates with states to send fake electors to the Capital

-Trump orders his VP to decertify the election

-Trump tweets out the address of election workers to his army of thugs

 

ANSWER:  it depends on what judge gets to decide. ANd I have a pretty good idea how Ginny Thomas' husband is going to weigh in..

DDM should be very upset.  Where is your link to your information?  What about the $2 billion that Jared Kushner got from the Saudis?  It wasn't because of his outstanding investment experience.  It was a reward from Mohammed bin Salmon for his influence in making sure that Trump did nothing but state Saudi propaganda about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.  Numerous investors who were approched by his Affinity Group were not impressed by their pitch and were shocked at "how cavalierly it seemed to suggest influence peddling."   We all know who Jared has a direct line to because of Ivanka.  I supply my link.    https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/04/jared-kushner-affinity-partners-saudi-arabia-pitch-deck
