America's highest court finds ex-presidents have significant protection from criminal prosecution — a historic ruling that could have major ramifications for the charges against Donald Trump.
No, it’s presidential actions, not personal ones. It’s being reported horribly because of the whole thing where everyone thinks that anyone not on their team is terrifying, so it justifies saying absolutely anything to try to win people over to their side.
That’s so laughably easy to spin it’s not a distinction worth even noting. “Oh so-and-so is a clear and present danger to the country, so in my official capacity as protector of the Constitution of the United States I have ordered his termination”. Bam, it’s now an official act.
Ah, yes, the ironclad and inviolate distinction between the person and the presidency. How very reassuring that no one in history has ever let their personal interests unduly bias their obligations of office. Whew.
I assure you that attempting to overturn a court and Congress certified vote of the people in order to retain power is a personal action, and not a presidential action. The president is to preserve democracy, not destroy it.
so biden has now the permit to kill trump? did i read that correctly?
Yes. He can do whatever the fuck he wants.
