I don’t really care for Gottlieb but I’m getting the impression most of these student are just idiots. I was an idiot at times as a student as well but not to where I’d travel to another campus to protest something I know nothing about. That’s next level stupid. https://x.com/gottliebshow/status/1783249720854679713?s=46&t=ZNxDuoK-BtXwN91CvqobFQ
I know people disagree but when this happens I’m 100% behind that coward [uck fay]ing around and finding out. https://x.com/anna_giaritelli/status/1783254310287024629?s=46&t=ZNxDuoK-BtXwN91CvqobFQ
Trump's lawyer at the Supreme Court today arguing for immunity to the president. He describes a president ordering the assassination of a political rival as a potential "official act" allowed under the Constitution. His case doesn't seem to be gaining traction among the justices, even the ones Trump appointed.
SCOTUS will laugh off the Trump defense assertation. But Trump won, because as soon as SCOTUS decided to take up the case it delayed the actual trial to past the general election, which is all they wanted.
He’s trying to be president again. It’s the only thing he cares about. Pushing anything past the election is a win for him. In his mind if he’s president he’ll pardon himself, fire the justice department or do whatever it takes to avoid jail. If he loses the election he knows he’s [uck fay]ed anyways.
Right or wrong, my read of the situation is Trump's strategy is delay wherever he can. He is not interested in a speedy trial on any level. If SCOTUS slow walks a decision such that Smith can't hold/complete the trial before the election he has a better chance of winning the election. One reason is some portion of those that would vote for him have indicated they won't vote for him pending outcome of the trials before the election.
I still believe that had Nixon not been pardoned, the issue of President/former President "immunity" would not be a thing. It was bullshit, a cop out and had nothing to do with rule-of-law.
Very well may not be, but it wouldn’t exactly be a departure from what’s happening in a lot of blue cities.
I think that depends on what you mean by “this stuff”. It is not even debatable that a lot of blue cities have gotten absurdly lax on policing/prosecuting serious crimes and it results in people being on the street that shouldn’t be. Nothing about that is hysterical, to deny it is to acknowledge you don’t pay attention or understand it’s bad for Dems. I think what your probably including in “this stuff” is when people are overly dramatic about what cities are actually like and overstate the prevalence of these things to make it seem like if you’re in public often you’ll probably be attacked. That is hysterical BS, no doubt. The fact remains though that in cities across the country we’ve got a lot of people that we used to keep locked up because they need to be running around committing crime nonstop. Now instead of getting a couple years they’ll just drop charges or give a slap on the wrist.
Adjust for population and see what happens to that crime rate. We have more people locked up than any other country. Maybe locking people up doesn't work.
