May I also suggest one's a matter of decorum, the other drunk on autocractic power and intent on punish any dissent?

some of that might be helpful. 'tho Facebook, X and the sludge of right-wing morgues (where truth or thought goes to die)* show some have no pride, shame or gray-matter.
additionally, with all the unauthorized, spook behavior of Leon and ilk - maybe a liability.
would prefer some balance.
the fairness doctrine was put there to give people a different perspective. most people try to be fair. like any debate, no one person is going to win them all. and often efficiently culls the hacks EX: Rush Limbaugh tried a TV show but his audience ran him off the air {check out YouTube} ideas were challenged and died on the vine. Rush's vineyard went dry.
plus, believe people would love to hear something new. get the idea Fox audiences are s t a r v e d for some synaptic activity when the former Sec of Trans got a standing O because of it.
it felt good. and not so damn blah-blah-blah.
plus just getting the spectrum of people talking to each, trying to actually solve something, just might provide us the way back to some sense of sanity.

*yeah. no group has corner the market on bad brains - but the per capita is defiantly skewed toward the far right.

LOL!!!
😂 Republicans are now literally telling women over 50 that abortion isn’t an issue for them…they need to just shut the fuck up and let men make decisions for them. That’s going to go over GREAT! 😂

In total desperation Comer has started attacking Waltz’s minor children and setting up a congressional investigation into Waltz for blatantly purely political reasons.

“I fully support my black Nazi candidate and if I lose I will blame the Jews.” said the felon at multiple anti Semitism events…repeated it. 😂😂😂😂
Vance went out and claimed we aren’t in a democracy and are actually run by a secret tiny cabal of powerful people (the Jews) and you need to not care when the fascist takeover of government and daily life they have planned is called fascist because it’s designed to rip that power away from them and that’s what matters.
Tucker decided Hitler wasn’t the bad guy in WW2, he was just a nice fellow looking for solutions to the Jewish problem.

Sweet zombie Geebus, you guys have dropped the veil and gone full Nazi, right out in the open. Good luck with that.

And….

And…a lawfirm representing a Haitian coalition has filed charges in Ohio (where citizens can file charges) against the felon and Muttley for 1)disruption of public services (through incitement of multiple bomb threats) 2) making false alarms 3) telecommunications harassment 4) aggravated menacing in violation 5) run of the mill aggravated menacing and 6) violating the prohibition against complicity. More criminal charges!

Edit: now, after failing trying to ban registration and polling from VAs because they get more military to vote, the felon now threatened to jail anyone who votes by mail from outside the country, namely military members stationed internationally.

It is a very safe assumption, I’ll apologize to umption if it turns out to be wrong.

“From all appearances”?
That’s a big assumption, and doesn’t match what I’ve seen, at least some were sold to the public including children….and all were detonated in public which means the collateral victims are 100% random. Even if they were first sold only to Hezbollah, another assumption, many definitely made it into the secondary resale market, which was 100% guaranteed from the start.
How many random bombs mailed/sold around the country by another country are OK? 10? 100? 1000? There may have been tens of thousands of devices spread around the country.

I do not acknowledge this was targeted or selective, the methodology makes that impossible and the mere suggestion ridiculous. “Those in close proximity” to the randomly distributed bombs exploded in public, or in buildings that burned from the devices, or accidents with victims that were driving, etc…. are random innocent victims even if you assume (with no basis or rationality) that the devises were miraculously only in Hezbollah hands and decide that targeting them for terroristic bombings is somehow acceptable.

Israel has a long history of ignoring the massive collateral damage of tens of thousands of innocent victims, mainly children, they intentionally cause by targeting their “enemies” when they can do the most collateral damage consistently, despite having the technology and capacity to do surgical attacks with minimal risk, and are this genocidally barbarous when defending themselves from mostly rock throwing children and fireworks and an occasional gunshot on a damage/death scale <1% what Israel returns.

This act again makes the Israeli government a terrorist government, this was a massive terrorist bombing, no matter what the objective, and likely another war crime. We should in no way be supporting or defending a terrorist nation that is under legitimate criminal accusations of war crimes from international courts. It’s not difficult.

Closer to 2% are intersex, so over 160 million people, over 6 million Americans…and they have rights. You would deny their existence and rights and dehumanize them because they aren’t “the norm” (“they aren’t like me, so they’re scary and wrong!”) and it’s too difficult for you to comprehend that there might be more than a binary system, even as you admit it, and clearly you believe anyone not “the norm” doesn’t matter, shouldn’t have rights, and doesn’t actually exist.
Around 5% (under 30) are transgender or non-binary, that’s up to 400 million people, up to 15 million Americans. You would deny their existence and rights to dehumanize them too in your ignorant intolerance.

Only 1% are in the top 1% platinum spoon trust fund babies like the felon…so if the exceptions to the norm don’t matter or exist, why care about him at all?

Pretty sure the village idiot is the one who made at least 4 grammatical errors in just two simple phrases, not the one who excelled in college level chemistry and English classes in middle school and advanced placement calculus in high school…the same idiot who would deny rights to hundreds of millions because they don’t fit your simplistic thought process. 😂

What dishonest racist insanity.
It is hilarious that the racist who redlined, tried to label all BLM as terrorists, and called for the death of the innocent Central Park 5 wants to bring up race and tell his biracial opponent she somehow isn’t an African/Indian-American, he doesn’t understand what that is…but you must know he’s not racist because his VP has Caucasian/Indian-American children and he’s black because of his many convictions and “3 baby mamas”. REALLY!?!
Not that it matters, but to set the record straight…

Her father is a Baptist, so is her mother, converted before marriage. She was raised and is a Baptist.

Donald Jasper Harris was born in Brown's Town, St. Ann Parish, Jamaica, the son of Oscar Joseph Harris and Beryl Christie Harris (née Finegan),who were Afro-Jamaicans. He has never identified as Caucasian, it would be laughable, he is clearly of African descent. As a child, Harris learned the catechism, was baptized and confirmed in the Anglican Church, and served as an acolyte. He has never been a Hindu.

Harris's paternal grandmother, born Christiana Brown, told Harris that she was descended from Irish-born plantation owner Hamilton Brown (1776-1843. 9 generations ago), as her father wrote in his autobiography, but this could not be proven nor disproven as it is well known Brown had many mixed race children. One possible Caucasian in his lineage does not a erase the rest of his African lineage.

😂
You moron.
You don’t know what I’m talking about?….then go on to ask questions about it?
The adult only SF pride event you posted a dishonest video about 2 days ago.

I like the freedom for consenting adults to do whatever they want to each other, no matter how disgusting I find it, including in public at adult only events where everyone knows what’s happening. I’m certain I would be MORE disgusted seeing you have sex, but I wouldn’t outlaw it. Hilarious you probably think you support freedom of speech…but only the exact kind of speech you don’t find objectionable, right?

Again…there no children at this adults only event.

You are hallucinating them because when you see sex you imagine children. That makes you a deplorable pederast who worships a well known child rapist who was partners with the most famous child mollester in America for decades and they “have a similar taste in women, and some of them are quite young.” - DJT

The real question is this…why do YOU not protest this degenerate behavior? Are you a deviant child rapist also? Do you like 13 year old girls? Do you like being rubbed down by naked 13 year old girls too? Do you also like children in “that way” like the felon made clear he does?

No matter your answers, you still support and defend and lie for the most prominently and often mentioned person in the Epstein files, flight logs, and call logs, and the person with the closest and longest friendship with him (and who who was accused by the same victims of the same sex crimes as him) and knowing him well for decades said clearly they have similar tastes in women…YOUNG (like 12 or 13 young)….that makes you a deplorable.

Aaaaahahahaha! What delusional twaddle.
😂 You care about nothing more than your constant consistent racism at every opportunity except your constant consistent denial of it! 😂

I only bring up race when dealing with racists like yourself, contradicting your blatant racism like deciding that a black woman, no matter how accomplished or successful in her career, is a dick sucking prostituting DEI hire because no woman or minority could possibly be competent. You say that, then deny your own blatant racism, only making yourself a racist liar, not at all believable.

Way to ignore the second point of the thread, the undeniable FACT that the MULTIPLE TIME JURY CONVICTED FELON and MULTIPLE TIME CONVICTED FRAUD is also in both a legal and factual sense A RAPIST, THAT WAS FOUND TO BE FACT IN A COURT OF LAW BASED ON THE EVIDENCE! whine and cry about it, he is a depraved disgusting dementia riddled RAPIST and nothing more. This is not a story, a claim, or an accusation, it is proven fact. In no way and at no time has he been proven “innocent” in any way shape or form, he was found to be guilty of the crime of rape by a judge in a court of law…not technically, not allegedly, he is a rapist.

Such an dishonest infant.
If these were Biden supporters, you would say Biden should be forced to drop out for faking black support, what a racist piece of shit liar he is, he’s so delusional he thinks this is really a black woman supporting him, etc.
If these were Biden voters, the campaign would IMMEDIATELY denounce them and call out the racism.
Of course, it never would be because Biden is not a consummate liar and lifelong racist like the felon rapist pedophile traitor is and never needed to fake support from black women (and never accepted an endorsement from the KKK).
Of course it would also never be with Kamala either, 1) because she’s not a racist liar and 2) because she actually has black women’s support, well over 50000 signed up as campaign workers in ONE DAY after she announced her candidacy!

What’s wrong with always being a total liar about everything, a racist and misogynistic liar so dishonest he pretends to be in the groups he in fact loves to attack and scapegoat, and pretends to love the racist misogynistic felon as a black woman? Honestly, Bob…why do you post stuff just to make yourself and your party look so incredibly racist, dishonest, and completely unbelievably dumb and clueless?
If he had black support, he wouldn’t have to fake it, but he does, constantly. I can’t be sure if you are too dumb to see it or just too dishonest to admit it…but either one makes you a totally worthless lying piece of shit so it doesn’t really matter.

Yet another idiotic post by the utter moronic liar, bob, again supporting telling blatant lies, supporting racism, supporting sexism, and supporting committing identity theft if it’s in service of dumb Donald. Not surprising in the least, he also supports lying under oath if it helps the felon…he has said exactly that.
Is anyone surprised the felon’s black support is 100% fake, mostly old white men pretending to be black women and a few paid actors?

Hey fool….do you think this tactic is going to help him against Harris? 😂
You just might be that dumb…so tell us.

Um….yeah..ok.
I lost over 40 lbs in the last 14 months just by walking and biking my dogs more. It was simple. I did not curtail my other activities like he thinks people do, or change my diet much (maybe a bit less candy, but still candy).
I always ate fairly well without a thought to calories, that hasn’t changed.
According to him, I shouldn’t have lost any weight…but I sure have.
Let’s hear the explanation Kurzgesagt!

I say what works for you works. Don’t listen to people saying it doesn't. I’m back to or below my high school weight, and have never dieted.
For me the thing is consistency. I already did lots of yard, tree, farming work, near daily…and still do, but that’s inconsistent as exercise. Dogs need a (long) walk daily, no matter what, so I get more exercise every day without fail, burning fat every day, and 420 days later there’s little fat left.

THANKS AGAIN FOR BRINGING MORE TRAFFIC TO THE VIDEO OF TRUMP’S DEFORMED TINY PENIS…AGAIN!

Didn’t watch this stupid little propaganda video because we all know Trump never threatened the Taliban so it’s clearly a lie, he kneeled down to them like a sniveling coward and released their entire army from prison then agreed to just leave Afghanistan in a matter of months with absolutely zero conditions (just don’t shoot us on the way out…and they still did) but made absolutely zero actions to facilitate that withdrawal, leading to the disaster in 21 that he set up and a resurgence of the Taliban that had been all but crushed, and the end of democracy in Afghanistan, because he handed over the country over to the Taliban as a whole.

Did you know that for 18 months American soldiers sat back and watched the Taliban destroy the coalition government and its military, murder our allies and interpreters, and watched as they took the entire country back because we did absolutely nothing, ran away from conflicts, stood and watched our allies be murdered in the streets, and first we actually released the Taliban from prison where they were no threat.

What utter nonsense sold to morons with no memory. Those of us who can recall what was happening 3-4 years ago know better.

Just like Trump and Afghanistan, Ted Cruz and Greg Abbot have abandoned Texas, again, after it was hit by a hurricane. The Biden administration has spent days trying to get Abbot to officially request federal assistance which he must do for Texas to receive it, but he’s MIA so Texans can just suffer more while he vacations in Asia. Certainly they don’t expect him to cut a vacation short for his constituents health and safety, would you?

WRONG.
The invalid and corrupt SCOTUS changed the law to make “official acts” by one person, the president, above the law, can’t even be scrutinized…which has NEVER been the case, indeed our government was designed to avoid exactly that. NO MAN IS ABOVE THE LAW has been the American motto since its inception. That creed has now been invalidated by this unfathomable decision which adds the asterisk “*except the president when acting officially” while intentionally leaving open the question of what is an official act and what isn’t, allowing for uneven, unequal, inconsistent application based on politics or payoffs, not law or facts.

They did say acts by the POTUS in or outside their authority can be prostituted…legalizing bribery so long as the policy change comes before the final check. A Freudian slip you got correct. That was another change this extremist court just made.

Once again since you cannot read or comprehend what you’ve been told repeatedly, the position was not fear mongering about hypotheticals, it was pointing out the specific anti democratic crimes already committed and those promised by one candidate in their campaign of retribution against the non cultists…the exact examples brought up during arguement that were just determined to be legal, like the assassination of a political rival by the military. That is not hypothetical now, they ruled on it precisely.

LIAR.

No President has ever needed immunity for official acts before Trump because none ever tried to commit felonies then hide behind their authority as president (Nixon tried, but like Trump his crimes were definitely unofficial acts not official no matter how he tried to make them official, not presidential orders but campaign activities just like the coup, but he had the moral fortitude to step down and go away, Trump would rather burn it all down.)

Explain why Trump needs immunity if he didn’t commit crimes.

From his Supreme Court hearing-
“No one is above the law, that’s a foundational principal I’ve talked about coming from Federalist 69, coming from the structure of the constitution. We are all equal under the law in the United States Of America.
The foundation of our constitution was, as Hamilton explained in Federalist 69, “the Presidency would not be a monarchy” and it specified all the ways under the constitution the president is not above the law, no one is above the law in the United States of America.”
“The president is subject to the law, no one is above the law in the United States of America including the president of the United States and that’s something that is made clear in Federalist 69.
Even in a national security context where the constitution gives the commander in chief power to the president, the president remains subject to the law. The president is not above the law with respect to the criminal process.”
“No one is above the law in our constitutional system. Federalist 69, Hamilton, makes clear all the ways that the executive branch as designed by the framers of the constitution was different from the monarchy.” - Kavenaugh

Now that he’s hearing the case- “The president is not subject to the law, and is not only above the law both criminal and civil when performing official duties, but any actions claimed to have been performed as official duties may not be used as evidence or even investigated, even in cases where they broke the law unofficially outside any possible official duty, no matter how exculpatory or illegal those official actions were (like murdering a witness (Epstein)), and if the president so chooses they may convert to a monarchy at their whim, so long as they claim it’s official.”

This is a complete 180 from what he said at his confirmation, just like Barrett claiming at her confirmation Supreme Court precedent was settled law not to be revisited then revisiting and reversing dozens of decades old precedents.

SCOTUS is invalid so long as those on it believe they are above the law and allowed to sell judgements to the highest bidder, something every single right wing justice but no Left wing justice has been PROVEN to have done, some to the tune of tens of millions….and lied on sworn statements about it for decades too.

Lied to? How so….be specific.

😂 Reiterate the oblivious 😂….um…yes. The oblivious felon did make this claim first, the oblivious “justices” did reiterate.

So why is Trump celebrating like he just got a get out of jail free card?


This is not how it’s always been, before this ruling official acts still had to be lawful…not anymore. As long as they’re official acts, they are legal (as far as penalties are concerned) no matter what the law says. That’s what they ruled.
Edit: They did not give the disgraced ex president his claimed total immunity however…if the courts decide fomenting a coup was not an official presidential act, or falsifying documents for fake electors is not an official president’s act, or secretly pressuring a governor to “find” 11000+ votes is not an official presidential act, or taking and withholding classified state secrets and lying about having them to the FBI and actively hiding them from warranted searches after he was no longer president are not official presidential acts, then he still has some serious legal trouble to add to whatever happens next week at his sentencing.

As long as the President is using official powers, what he uses them for cannot be questioned. Biden could assassinate Trump like he claims Biden tried to do 100% legally now, and Thomas, and Alito, and the other corrupt “justices” that invalidated a long cherished institution for money, and anyone he thinks threatens America…100% immune because protecting the nation is a Presidential duty.
Fortunately Trump tried to hide most of his crimes by using unofficial orders to non governmental agents through unofficial channels, so he’s got an uphill climb to argue they are official acts.
The issues listed in the dissent are not extreme or hypothetical, they are in fact campaign promises by the convicted felon and terrorist leader and specific examples argued by the Trump lawyers as things that are (now) legal…like assassination of a political rival.
The court just couldn’t help but try to minimize its extremist ruling that upends 248 years of the rule of law and puts the president above the law when using presidential powers (like assassinations, or cancelling elections, jailing political rivals, disbanding the border patrol, etc.) by calling threats made by those who have followed through on those exact same threats before “fear mongering of extreme hypotheticals"
The president refusing to accept the election results and trying to seize or hold onto power illegally was one example…not extreme or hypothetical or fear mongering, it fucking happened, and this ruling means it may be legal (if considered official).

Biden damn well better make use of this immunity to save democracy or maybe he deserves to lose, he now has carte Blanche to pull anything, absolutely anything as long as he says it’s for America, everything is allowed, nothing is forbidden. I’m worried he has morals and won’t use these new unlimited assassination and coup powers…very worried. I know for an absolute certainty that the other guy doesn’t.
