Supreme Court, in Major Victory for Trump, Finds Presidents Are Entitled to ‘Presumptive Immunity’​

Patriots in control... SUCK IT Jack Smith... this NUKES his case... Hiroshima squared... 6-3 Trump victory on POTUS immunity.
Sweeping ruling and most important case of this term of the SCOTUS.

The historic victory of President Trump at the Supreme Court on the issue of presidential immunity may not be absolute but it could yet prove enough to upend Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of him for working to overturn the results of the last presidential election.

The high court, by an ideologically riven six to three margin, found that the “nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority.” A president is also entitled to “presumptive immunity” for all official acts.

Gator on suicide watch...

Excellent question...

25th Amendment, please... thank you!

If Joe Biden is unfit to run for president, how can he be fit to continue serving as president?

The New York Times wants Mr. Biden to end his campaign.

But the job of being president is more demanding than running for reelection, by far.

Anyone who thinks Mr. Biden’s infirmity means he ought to drop out should be calling for his immediate resignation.

Mr. Biden’s term doesn’t expire until late January 2025 — more than six months from now.

The president was at times unable even to complete his sentences in last week’s debate.

According to the Times: “the president’s performance cannot be written off as a bad night or blamed on a supposed cold, because it affirmed concerns that have been mounting for months or even years. Even when Mr. Biden tried to lay out his policy proposals, he stumbled.”

In such a condition, can Mr. Biden lead the country for another half-year?

The crisis brought on by his public implosion isn’t just political, although that’s how it’s being treated by many who wish he’d make way for a different Democratic nominee.

This is a national and international emergency:

Mr. Biden has neither the stamina nor the cogency to fulfill the duties of his office.

He couldn’t sustain his attention for 90 minutes in the debate, which only made obvious to every American what White House staff and campaign insiders have known all along.

Foreign leaders, too, have witnessed Mr. Biden’s decline with their own eyes.

Mr. Biden’s condition cost him the debate — what has it cost the country?

Polls show more than 60 percent of voters believe the nation is on the wrong track.

After two and a half years, the president hasn’t been able to map a path to victory in Ukraine, where the situation has only deteriorated as his capacity has diminished.

The conflagration in the Holy Land is on the brink of erupting, as Iran vows to go to any length to support Hezbollah against a wider Israeli anti-terrorist campaign.

What are these wars going to look like six months from now — will their escalation wait on our election calendar?

Governments are changing in Europe, with tremendous implications for our Western alliances, while China continues to probe its neighbors’ defenses, and ours, in East Asia.

This isn’t a world that can abide a part-time American president, or a senile one.

Mr. Biden is stubborn, and he may not even comprehend the dangers he’s courting.

His enablers — there’s no gentler word for them — need him to stay in office so they can cling to power; indeed, the less capable the president is, the more powerful they are.

Out of pure self-interest, however, many Democrats have reached the limits of their patience with the charade.

A Biden defeat in November would be one thing — a humiliation would be another, potentially crippling the party’s congressional hopes and prospects for state races in 2026 and beyond.

Yet the same self-interest that has some Democrats ready to jettison Mr. Biden from their presidential ticket also leads them to want to prolong his presidency.

If Mr. Biden resigns, Vice President Harris becomes commander in chief — and the Democrats’ presumptive nominee for November.

Too many in her own party doubt Ms. Harris’ ability to perform at the ballot box any better than Mr. Biden, even in his debilitated state.

That’s politics, though.

Whatever her weaknesses as a candidate, Ms. Harris’s job as vice president is to succeed Mr. Biden in the event of his death or incapacity — and his incapacity was exposed on live television.

Political scientists say presidential elections are referendums on the party in power.

If that’s true, Democrats will have to answer for Mr. Biden’s record even if he’s not on the ticket.

They’ll also have to answer for something else:

From Watergate on, the lesson of many a major scandal has been “it’s not just the crime, it’s the cover-up.”

Top Democrats, aided by too much of the media, covered up Mr. Biden’s incapability.

For the good of the country, the president should resign — and so should everyone who enabled this fraud on the voting public.

President Biden appears with a bronze-orange tan days after his team criticized CNN for not making him look tan enough on television while debating Trump. 🤣

Apple and yella money fin’da buy em’! Take my money!

The dude is on fiya! Mumblin' Stumblin' Bumblin' cult is delivering!

Apologies in advance.

Remember when you watch this - you can pause when it’s overwhelming for you. Don’t let your head explode.

Biden out, and a far worse choice like Newsome will be the nominee. He'll do better than the current tard in future debates, and the country will not inch closer to socialism, but will jump towards it.

who is dating one of those chicks in the Bluechew commercial has an ED problem where the product is even needed? No fvcking chance.

SCOTUS rules against Jackoff Smith and says J6 detainees unfairly charged and prosecuted.

As he said last night.
