And it's unanimously #SCOTUS-approved! https://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/supreme-court-overturns-bob-mcdonnells-corruption-convictions-224833

Reposted from Eric Lipton NYT

Was quite a moment, a sense we reached some kind of inflection point in U.S. history. You can now personally pay a U.S. president to gain an audience.

The last pic. Those Wall Street dude bros.

You just know what a conversation with them is like.

Punchable.

All Trump has to do is convince the conservative majority of SCOTUS that his selling influence is a “core presidential duty” and they are satisfied that he will have his immunity. They opened a huge can of worms with that ruling last year and we are all paying for it now.

The linked article (read entire article) is from 2016 when there were 8 justices the case regarding Bob McConnell VA. Not about current events. The images attached appear to be from another completely different event. The merits can/should go to courts for illegal activities conducted by King Idiot

Imagine being one of these trump/crypto assholes and thinking to yourself, “Yeah, I finally made it! I hit the big time.” Imagine being that fucking deluded! Kinda gives you instant perspective and gratitude for who you are as a human being on earth.

Just hand him $40M, and if he then decides to do you a favor, it's just a favor he decides to do for you. Nothing to see here! Someday historians will wonder why the SCOTUS started dousing the republic with gasoline, when they knew there was an arsonist in the White House

Exactly. It’s the grotesquely corrupt outcome, if John Roberts Citizens United (misnomer) & Presidential immunity decisions in their pure essence. Roberts is the worst chief judge in our recent history. He’s no advocate of ‘we the people’ but the friend of monied oligarchy.

SCOTUS has for decades made judgements like this and imploring Congress to make laws that regulate and restrict politicians. Congress has said over and over, "Nope."
