Let's talk a bit about today's SCOTUS ruling on immunity

Note FIRST. This SCOTUS hates Trump. They just ruled on Presidents getting 'absolute' criminal immunity

...but in a way that Jack Smith can go ahead, prosecute Trump to prison

YES. That is what they said. We find immunity BUT NOT FOR TRUMP

So yes, this SCOTUS Is crooked, corrupt and this RULING on immunity is absurd and becomes a hand grenade rolling in any White House invititing MASSIVE CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR

But this SCOTUS just told Jack Smith, go ahead, toss Trump into prison. You have FULL authority on 'non official acts'

AND...

Supreme Court DID rule that any Presidential acts that are listed in the Constitution - those are sacred, & absolute immunity applies there (this ruling is absurd)

BUT this SCOTUS did say any other acts can be prosecuted, and non-official acts carry NO IMMUNITY AT ALL (campaigning, false electors)

So considering this is a corrupt, ultra-right wing power mad Supreme Court, we actually got a 'partial victory' today. Not total victory, but Jack Smith DOES HAVE authority to go prosecute Trump on THAT COURT CASE in DC, but only PART of the felony charges, not all of them

TAKE THE VICTORY

Instead, this SCOTUS went on a mindbogglingly inane ruling, that ALLOWS Trump to be prosecuted - but does NOT allow Bill Barr or Jeff Clark to be prosecuted

They make Pence related testimony POSSIBLE

They threw the state fake electors under the bus with Trump

THAT brew took six months to concoct

Where do we stand? Jack Smith ASKED for this ruling on Immunity six months ago! Jack Smith KNEW it will come up, he wanted a ruling on it

Jack Smith ALREADY SAID, if there is uncertaintly of immunity for official acts, let me prosecute Trump on NON OFFICIAL acts

SCOTUS just said - go ahead, sir.

So Jack Smith has had THIS SCENARIO mapped out SIX MONTHS AGO

It will not take Jack Smith long to file the revised (reduced) indictment where the offical acts are removed, and non official acts can proceed

Judge Chutkan had SEEN THIS COMING, she will be prepared of course too

That is not all...

That is not all. This SCOTUS gave some guidelines on what kind of acts are not official acts. Chief Justice Roberts said campaigning is not official act. Justice Barrett said asking fake electors to falsify documents is not an official act

Separtely Roberts said the Pence discussions might be crime

So for Judge Chutkan, SCOTUS has just given a good amount of guidance of HOW she can rule, to not be overruled

This SCOTUS does want Trump in prison. They hate him. They know he is a criminal

BUT this SCOTUS is corrupt. They also ruled in bizarro ways to help Bill Barr, Jeff Clark (maybe Meadows)

@tomiahonen They're also finding a way to keep Ginni out of trouble. One of the main concerns imo.

⬆️ @Beachbum @Grant_M @tomiahonen

>> Biden could tell #DOJ since he is now #king that they have to go after #GinniThomas and #Alito and #ClarenceThomas and he can tell the #IRS to go after Thomas and Alito and everyone else’s income tax while they’re at it. But he’s a man of #integrity and he won’t do that

#Biden's #virtueSignaling and reticence on this matter would be no different than a doctor refusing #chemotherapy on a cancer patient (#US) because that treatment is poison for normal people.

@rameshgupta @Beachbum @Grant_M good point with chemo analogy. I agree with you. That does not change the fact, that Biden ALWAYS wanted to be the President. He saw good ones and bad ones and great ones. He was Vice President to one of the greatest ever - Obama

[Does Crossy Thing]

But Biden also rememebers the only saint who was POTUS - Jimmy Carter. Biden wants to be as honorable as Carter. No matter what we argue, Biden won't abuse this power just because SCOTUS made a wrong ruling. Instead

⬆️ @tomiahonen @Beachbum @Grant_M

>> But Biden also rememebers the only saint who was POTUS - #JimmyCarter. Biden wants to be as honorable as #Carter

#Biden's job as #POTUS is not to appear saintly — that's exactly what #virtueSignaling is.

His job is to uphold the #Constitution and protect us from ALL enemies, domestic and foreign — #SCOTUS & #Trump

These are not normal times, and these require drastic LEGAL action.

Suspending #Election2024 is not illegal given the #emergency circumstances

@rameshgupta @Beachbum @Grant_M Biden knows Trump is unelectable. Biden knows he wins easy re-election. Biden knows DEMs will take back the House. the GOP knows they have lost 2024 the White House, House and can't take back the Senate

So Biden will govern SENSIBLY and not do something stupid like suspending an election

Please grow up. I will not tolerate childish drivel

⬆️ @Beachbum @Grant_M

@tomiahonen has already blocked someone with the profanity "GROW THE FUCK UP" in all caps, and is threatening to do that to me, not in all caps yet.

NO, #Biden does NOT know as a matter of CERTAINTY all of the things you profess he knows. If you think he does, that would be like #Pollyanna #childishDrivel.

⬆️ @Beachbum @Grant_M @Nazani

I wouldn't call it #hitAndRun because @tomiahonen yelled earlier, announcing his intolerance and lack of respect for differing opinions, and nicely requested me to "Please grow up. I will not tolerate #childishDrivel" 😂

He just blocked me too as he threatened he'd do. Good riddance.

@rameshgupta @Beachbum @Grant_M @tomiahonen
I didn't even express a differing opinion. I was just bringing up Biden's long experience with GOP character assassination. I'm old enough to recall Carter being called "weak on Iran," & then Reagan sold arms to Iran!

⬆️ @Beachbum @Nazani @Grant_M @tomiahonen

>> #Carter did not get enough credit for his presidency. Neither did #Clinton. he left us with the surplus

You're right. The paragons of #virtue in the #GOP were busy impeaching Clinton.

Carter got blamed for #Iran #hostageCrisis, and they've laid the same time-tested trap for Joe #Biden.

Iran #hostage crisis ultimately ended on the day #Reagan was inaugurated in 1981. #Hamas hostage crisis won't be over before #Election2024

@rameshgupta @Beachbum @Grant_M @tomiahonen
I hope there is enough honest media left to present an honest assessment of the Carter presidency when he dies.
Personally, I plan to walk through the Rotunda when he lies in state.

"A recent report has confirmed the long-whispered rumor that #Reagan did a deal with #Iran to sink #Carter's re-election."
