Has anyone addressed whether an “official act” which precludes criminal liability for a President includes presidential acts disobeying Supreme Court orders?

As someone who grew up in evangelical churches, let me sum up the mindset: “Yeah, ok, maybe he deported a citizen toddler undergoing cancer treatment, but hypothetically if there happened to be a trans kid in our school, they wouldn’t be able to join the swim team.”

Mike Johnson saying “There’s a constitutional path” to Trump’s third term through “amending the constitution” is so pathetic. EVERYTHING HAS A CONSTITUTIONAL PATH IF YOU AMEND THE CONSTITUTION. They can’t bring themselves to say, “No, it would violate American law.”

in fairness to the market no one could have guessed that a nearly 80 year-old ex-President with a messianic self-certainty and the hyperfixation of a toddler would enact a policy he spent each and every day of a two-year campaign promising to enact!

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

With the game this lopsided and the Chiefs shut out you have to think Harrison Butker would’ve found more satisfaction and purpose and happiness if he’d just stayed home and raised his kids and done domestic chores

I firmly believe that the best response to the never-ending barrage of bullshit is pick one (ONE!) thing to go nuclear over. And hammer that 24-7 from all angles. Everything else, just mock him relentlessly for it then pivot back to the one thing.

Given that this isn’t true, but Trump believes it is, some Northern California mayor should install a giant valve wheel in the desert near one of these pipes and invite Trump to the funniest photo op of all time.

I’ve always wanted to invent a conspiracy theory, just for funsies: The drones are foreign and are here because we have a mutual agreement with a foreign hostile power to monitor each others’ ICBM launch sites. Some idiot American Sheriff will shoot one down ultimately leading to nuclear war.

If Biden was considering preemptive pardons for Cheney, Fauci, Schiff, why didn’t he just wait to lump Hunter into that group? That would have been at least halfway palatable. Instead, all of the legit pardons are an afterthought: “Let me take care of my child first, then I’ll look into the rest.”
