    Though it is, in my view unreasonably deferential to the office of the president, the ruling makes it very clear Trump does not have immunity for things like falsifying the records of his private business and refusing to turn over classified documents when he wasn’t president.

      He doesn’t have immunity for the crimes but there is testimony about things he said to staff while in office and the Supreme Court has declared such conversations off-limits. They really went out of their way to cover for Trump, except for the part where Biden would probably have immunity for having him killed.

        They really went out of their way to cover for Trump, except for the part where Biden would probably have immunity for having him killed.

        Plot twist: This is all an elaborate plan by the deep state to have Trump killed, mafia style.

        Ever seen Goodfellas? Remember when they said Tommy was going to be a made man, but in reality he showed up and got the back of his head blown off? Same thing here. The Supreme Court rules for Presidential immunity. Trump thinks he’s just been crowned a king. Meanwhile, Biden is covertly ordering the Secret Service to instruct Trump’s bodyguards to take him out. Trump gets offed by his own security team, Biden is untouchable because they can’t even ask him if he called the Secret Service, let alone oredered the hit. Dark Brandon emerges, putting his sunglasses on CSI style, while a thundering YEAHHHHHHHHHH can be heard in the background. Later, rumors circulate that while Clarence Thomas and Joe Biden don’t see eye to eye on many things, they both agreed that Trump had to go.
