Presidential immunity granted by the Supreme Court. Where is this country headed, when POTUS can do virtually ANYTHING and not be held accountable?
This "privilege" was never granted to the 44 previous presidents, but was deemed necessary for the guy who screamed for it.
Unbelievable.
Just because prior Presidents were not prosecuted for killing American Citizens with drones, and doing other things, while President ... doesn't mean they aren't going to benefit. Frankly, the fact that we need the SCOTUS to
'step in' and deal with the
'endless lawsuits' says more about our willingness to prosecute over everything now, instead of the big things. It's really an inditement of our society, and how
'tribal' we've become that we've had to stop the non-sense, and yes, some is non-sense.
I mean, even John Edwards had a hung jury, and he did far worse. And most of the realities of that recent case with Trump were well beyond the statue of limitations, and the federal charges argue by the state used weren't even prosecuted by the feds for lack of evidence. From a legal standpoint, I'm still dumbfounded. I cared far more about Trump's fraudulent voting claims (although some voting fraud is reality, and encouraged ... Congress may finally pass a law that puts the onus on states to stop letting undocumented residents get ballots with both local/state seats -- yes, it really happens, and often -- most of the claims by Trump were BS), and resulting lawsuits that the states were bringing to bear on him, which were more ... well ...
'real' to me. I mean, this whole Stormy - criminal, string 3 things together to get a felony - was kinda a joke, especially with the state's
'primary witness' literally getting
'shredded' on the stand, and being wholly discredited. But in the end, it didn't matter.
In any case,
just like with Clinton with Lewinski -- which actually distracted from Broadwick (an actual, claimed sexual assault and battery by Clinton, among others) --
Trump's conviction made him
more popular, not less. And Trump even hinted of this back in 2016 with the
'shoot someone on 5th Avenue' statement. It's not about what he does or says. It's about what the US Media and Democrats say he does or says, many of which kinds goes into the land of fiction.
Just enough, even if a lot is true, that even I -- someone objective who has never voted Trump, and not liked him since the USFL, considering him a
'confidence man' of
'little business sense' -- have to point out that without the arrogance and insolence of the modern, American Progressive, there would be no Trump. Hillary, the DNC, and the Swamp created Trump.
More people actually
'relate' to the felon. Because ... all of us could be found guilty as a felon today. Me? I'll never vote for that gasbag. But if the left things I'm going to vote for the man who
'isn't there' and literally just
'doing the bidding of lobbyists' just because he's
'not Trump,' sorry, but ... no.
'Democracy being at stake' is
not just Trump's fault, but Biden's too, just like Clinton's as well.
No, I think the only, actual
'business' Presidents I ever voted for that I believed were Ross Perot and, even more so, Gary Johnson. I wasn't sure Perot would get Congress to work for the people, but I know Johnson would have ... just like he did in New Mexico. He'd veto everything until the pork was utterly at a standstill, and force things to change, just like he did in New Mexico, where everyone in Congress hated him, and he became the most beloved Republican in a Democratic state.
The GOP feared that in 2012, and told CNN to leave him out ... despite polling better then, than Trump at the same point in 2016.
And we deserve the non-sense we get. Just like the lawsuits. Monica seems tame now.
