the spacing
There is no political party for Americans... 😅 Both party contest for isreal president using American tax
According to rational law , a head of state if committed any crime , he / she should be punish by double sentence from normal punishment , because a head of state supposed to be a model of law . If apposite he should be punished as model of punishment as a deterrence for common people .
This is the reason i won't vote Trump.....🤷♂️ No one is above the law....
Even their justice system is a joke! Yet they they go around and mock others. Shameless PS'

It used to be better? A little? In the 1990s, we always had that swing justice either way that usually erred on the side of history -- we had a good court. But the Citizens United ruling in 2010 started the snowball into corporate capture of our government. Sad.....
This immunity topic has always been This way. The Supreme Court just reminded everyone.

Wrong!
She can't seem to say the word impeachment...... sad
"No it has not changed" The Supreme Court said Trump would likely be entitled to immunity, but not if his actions were not found to be "Official Acts." Now, the Supreme Court must Define what "Official Acts" Means.

banging skanks must be up there since every president has got to it in office
No one is above the law is just another number nice sounding concept. Fact is some are more above the law than others.
I notice you keep on cutting off what trump said after the "lets go to the capitol" Joe is going to need that immunity when the question of supplieing weapons to a nation commiting ethnic cleansing. ( not looking for hostages ... that part is ok )

Biden can benefit from this Power. Think about it 😉

It is highly unlikely that the same "Judges" will give the same verdict if Joe does something similar. This is a corrupt system run by corrupt people.
I love the fact the more these people hate Trump, the higher he is climbing up the ladder. People on this panel are the best comedians.
So how does it work if he orders staff to do unlawful acts? Do they get immunity, or will it just keep going the way it has been where many people working for him paying the consequences even going to jail but he never does? No sympathy for those who do either, but allegedly he did try to order staff to do ridiculously illegal things in his first term.
Great episode, each response was well thought. I'm still in shock that SCOTUS would remove the balance of power and give the POTUS blanket authority. July 4th means nothing. 😢
The ruling is a ticket to be a criminal without consequences for the rich. Only common poor Americans have to obey the law because they have no money to fight and power to object.
I hope this move is condemned by the Israeli lobby!

Understand, i barely made it out of high school. But I can read. Ihave been making this post for a while now. You are the first to reply. Now help me out. The 25th amendment has nothing to do with the ELECTING of the president, does it? My understanding of the 25th tells us what to do once a president/vice president has been elected and then compromised in some way, and how to REPLACE him. Please help me to understand my interpretation of it. Please and thank you.

@@tedyoung2143Impeachment is the word you’re working with and when was the last time a president was successfully impeached? I’m saying that the charges are faulty, so this decision was justified.
national socialism esc
This will strengthen the 3 branches of government as mandated by the US constitution. A win for the American people and Democracy ✅
The laws don’t apply to the rich white privileged.
Time to put God first if God is not at the head of our justice system , every criminal in the world will seek immunity
I love the people who are screaming “dictator” are the ones who pushed for mandates and lockdowns.. 🤣🤣🤣
