What about the Supreme Courts immunity decision they just delivered?

Oh this is unbelievably bad

bro got out of a time machine from 2007 and made this comment.

american racism is not the result of stupid people making bad decisions; that is the smug liberal bullshit answer yes but its not the real one. the united states was created through a slaveowners revolt, that is the actual foundation of the country. where do non-white people fit into that schematic?

Man f*** this country

They gonna say nothing he did is "official" conduct right after he wins the election lol

I disagree, you are describing the mask of the GOP, the whole point is to make Trump, Bobert, MTG the face of the GOP so you ignore the weasels that got 3 new justices into to SCOTUS, who all at best were disingenuous in their confirmation and now have proven they were. Long standing precedents have been overturned that are pushing this country back decades…we are still a young country, remember that.

The spoils of WW2 not being fought on our soil(yea yea Pearl Harbor stfu) have been spent and pocketed. We are not far ahead anymore.

Malcolm X: "the US should have its own Mau Mau"

Again, its not tied enough directly to Trump to frame it as a leading cause to rally support against him. I understand the fear, but strategically its not working to base everything around this initiative.

Things like Trump being likely to solidify the 6-3 Supreme Court hold with 2 more appointments, continuing his historic run of federal appointments, executive orders, cabinet members appointments, etc.. are all more immediately relevant and easier to communicate than a massive plan made by other people than Trump. Plans of that size have quite literally never been implemented in the way people are trying to argue

My main issue is the framing trap people keep falling into. Democrats have lacked an actual Trump strategy for 9 years and just pray people rally around the same "well if Trump is elected ____" lines. It's not working anymore evidently

having (at least lightly) read the decision i'd only really be scared of this if it implied the immunity refers to Trump specifically rather than the wider executive branch of government

the application of the law is iffy to an extent but i understand the argument being made by the SC majority. that said, it feels like the dissent is talking about something completely different than what the majority is discussing in the decision document though. notably, the majority concedes that there IS an apparatus for repealing the default immunity applied to presidents - it does not state that immunity is absolute; it's only "absolute" insofar as the pre-existing apparatus of arbitrating executive power can't be counter-balanced by civil law but rather needs to go through the same process that systematic balances are based on

in other words, more simply, rather than the decision declaring absolute immunity, it's saying that the system of balancing executive power rests on the acknowledgement of the executive office as legitimate. rather than saying the president has absolute power, it's saying that the power of the president (and thus immunity) is recognized by the status of the remainder of legal entities to hold it as legitimate. If it is not legitimate, then it is the job of congress (or secondary, the states) to revoke the office's immunity through impeachment or convention. the courts can't strip presidents of immunity in the same way they can't grant immunity because it's outside the court's jurisdiction

they were actively trying to pump up trump like 1 year ago lmao

When has a president not been immune from official acts lol

One second you’re advocating that we need to vote Joe Biden to save America because we can then maybe appoint a liberal judge who will maybe make decisions that will maybe ease liberal legislation that will maybe pass when congress maybe ends up liberal

The whole time there is a lot of motivation for any one part of this process to fail because corporate power in America is so strong that any politician can look at a check and say f*** the system

F*** you bro

Oh nevermind we’re doing this now

Why are you absolving genocide

Am I?

How come other countries' populations are afforded a degree of separation from the government's actions that Americans are not? Most of the residents in America are against what Israel is doing

I’m not saying Americans are responsible for the genocide

However, you are all responsible for your inaction and complacency during this genocide

The immunity decision is the distraction…every single SCOTUS decision this week has expanded Judicial power.

The Judicial branch is now, though it may already been, the strong and most powerful branch of the US.

President gets elected, Congress gets elected…Judges?

Lifetime appointments for an unelected position is wild

Welcome to the 21st century

every day that you or me dont overthrow the american empire, we are responsible for the murder of palestinians, among other horrific things. thats just a fact, if that makes you uncomfortable than you should sit in that discomfort and then come to the reasonable conclusion that its a problem with the existing system.

I'm supposed to take accountability for religious conflict in the middle east? Alright bro

palestine is not a "religious conflict", it is a conflict of american neocolonialism and settler colonialism. israel exists as a means of exporting american fascism to the fertile crescent.

the united states is simply israel on a much larger scale.

..all based on interpretations of land rights based on religious texts. They didn't pick Israel at random

again, you are wrong. because you are a smug liberal ignoramus. I am a lebanese jew, my family is palestinian. jews, muslims, and christians lived in palestine in a relatively peaceful coexistence for thousands of years until european settlers began the dispossession of arab land.

stop speaking on s*** you do not know anything about.

did they just give a rapist immunity
