Oh really? Obama’s one negative was being on board with overuse of drone strikes that killed civillians…
Someone get Obama on the phone!

King Former President!
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell,
Lol, the angry orange wants to punish the turtle man who covered for him. You pick the best allies there turtle boy!
The ruling explicitly states that those things on the record are not admissible if they were not through some public form of communication. So his phone call to the Georgia governor would be inadmissible even though it is currently public knowledge since it was originally a private call he claims was official business.
His public tweets would be admissible.
“I’m not Russian!” - angry orange
Prior presidents have done all kinds of shady shit without worrying about prosecution. Even the angry orange didn’t get charged until he tried to overthrow an election.
There was zero reason to even decide this case except to give immunity to someone who blatantly abuses their authority.
The SCOTUS majority just decided that nothing the president does is illegal, at least in a way that can ever be prosecuted.
Yeah, but that law requires intent and all that evidence you mentioned can be thrown out.
Citizens United was the first step to make it blatantly legal by being able to hide donations in a way that makes make it easy to give money directly to candidates from any source, foreign and domestic.
Then that “it was a gratuity, not a bribe” ruling last week means anyone can just buy off politicians in the open.
So as of this morning it is legal for a foreign country to bribe the president to have someone assassinated.
But he won’t, and neither will any Dem presidents, which is what the right wing SCOTUS is counting on.
Biden won’t abuse this power because he isn’t a complete trash person and SCOTUS knows it. They know that the only party that will abuse this power is the Republican party.
So until this trash opinion is undone, every single election is an imminent threat to democracy.
They gave the president powers that only an immoral person would abuse.
You know, a Republican.
“We can go lower.”
-SCOTUS
If Biden does the exact same thing as the orange turd, the packed courts will rule that Biden’s actions were not official but the angry orange’s were.
The decision is entirely a power grab that will be abused by conservatives and not by anyone with morals. That is what these fascists are counting on.
The shitty evolution of both sides by blaming the losing side for participating in the system.
So I should vet the single Democrat on the primary ballot for anything other than US president
This is true for EVERY ELECTION. Unless I personally run for office this will continue to be true, and I am too honest to be in politics.
So I should vet the single Democrat on the primary ballot for anything other than US president in a state that hasn’t given an electoral college vote to a Democrat since the 1964 election?
That seems worth my time since I’m going to vote for them anyway!
Like going to prison is going to shut him up.
At best we might get less of his bullshit for a while.
Nazis have the right to say nazi shit here.
Nobody has the right to call for genocide.
Delay, delay, delay.
Yeah he was convicted, but when it comes to actual punishment it is just more delays.
