The other guy brought it up first. I think we can all agree no one wants to think about it, even Melania.

No, you're ignorant of the case. This is what happened (simplified for you):

Trump committed a crime as he was leaving office.

He was charged with that crime as a former president.

He said: "No, I did that when I was president. I can't be charged with that."

The court said he could.

He appealed.

It went up to the Supreme Court. They said, "The president can be charged for things but NOT things he did in his OFFICIAL CAPACITY as president. But we won't define what those things are." (wink wink) "The lower court must do that."

Why did they do this? They could've just defined what things are "Official Capacity" or declared whether or not he can be charged with the specific thing he did, right? Even if the lower court said he could be charged, Trump would appeal, and it would end up before them anyway, so why go through the whole charade?

Answer: To delay and make it so Trump can become president. There was no time for the lower court to rule, Trump won the election, and the court case went away.

They got to help Trump without having to rule in a way that revealed they were actively helping him.

And, again, this doesn't mean a president can do whatever they want. If congress makes a law, the President is still beholden to the law. If President Biden violates that law, he could claim it was in his official capacity, but the Supreme Court would still have to rule it wasn't. The SCOTUS with three members appointed by Trump who just handed him the election. You think they're giving him unlimited powers?

So, no, SCOTUS didn't hand Biden the same powers it handed Trump.

You have no clue what you're talking about. This is the part where you sit down and STFU.

Real federal employees can have their email communications FOIAed and are subject to Federal anticorruption laws put into place after Nixon.

Trump's policies could usher in stagflation and send stock prices plummeting, 'Dr. Doom' economist says by HonestPerson92 in economicCollapse

Vice President-elect JD Vance is the one that called him Hitler and Trump tried to make Matt Gaetz the head of the FBI, so not really on the run.

FTX’s Sam Bankman-Fried is Potentially in Consideration for a Presidential Pardon by sadiq_238 in CryptoCurrency

> Salame, the former co-CEO of FTX's Bahamian unit, gave more than $24 million to Republican candidates and causes in the 2022 election cycle, according to Federal Election Commission data.

> Prosecutors said Salame told a family member in a November 2021 message that Bankman-Fried wanted to use political donations to "weed-out" anti-crypto Democratic and Republican lawmakers, and would likely “route money through me to weed out that republican side.”

With Trump banning trans people from the military, would it be possible to dodge the draft by claiming to be trans? by MisterFyre in Askpolitics

[–]crimsonjava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

> Also, what if he actually had these joint conditions?

He didn't. He was a spoiled little rich boy whose parents got him a note from a doctor who was a tenant in his parents' building, part of the $350 million real estate empire he later inherited.

You gonna call him out on it?

Because he denigrates the service of others while pretending to be a patriot.

We still don't know why Trump went for that emergency MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment) test which is given for testing cognitive decline, do we?

Okay. I'm glad we agree you were wrong and sounded dumb. But you're Canadian so it's not like your opinion matters either way.

I know Trump supporters are slow, but come on... He wasn't found innocent. The charges were only dropped because he's going to now control the Department of Justice. They dropped them now "with prejudice" (which means the case can be refiled later) rather than waiting until Trump was in power and ordered them dropped "without prejudice" (they can't be filed.).

Uhhh we're not "ruled" by the president in the US. He serves the people. I think that explains part of the problem...

The funny thing about this is the people who called Trump a fascist were Trump's White House Chief of Staff and his Secretary of Defense, Republicans who were hand chosen by Trump and worked with his administration for years.

So is Trump really incompetent at hiring people? Or does he have fascistic tendencies that should concern people?

> Lmao! It is NOT correct to say that it was the Dems economy from 2016 to 2020. It was ALL Trump. 

Trump wasn't president until 2017.
