Sounds like now a US president can set up official death camps with immunity in their courts. Oh, and testimony of his facilitators and cronies can't be used against them in any charges that can be levied.

#Journalists should pay close attention before normalizing and both-sidesing the current situation, as they're among the first people typically rounded up as fascism takes hold.

Already hearing the press "clean up" the #SCOTUS ruling. Headline this morning: "court ruled that a president can't be charged for just doing his job."

If that's the supposed centre-left journalism (eg NPR) I can only imagine what right-wing broadcasters are saying.

Journalists, you normalize and shrug off this thing at your literal peril.

@ottaross NPR has a half-life measured in days if Trump is re-elected. I’m guessing they have figured it out by now.
@Dawilson999 you'd think so, yet they keep cleaning up the crazy, and positioning MAGA moves as politics as usual. I can't understand why they carry water for them given the threat to their existence.
@ottaross so Biden is now free to do the same? Or is it only republicans that can use this.
@YurkshireLad indeed could, though the intent must be there too
