'Richard Nixon Would Have Had A Pass': John Dean Stunned By Trump Immunity Ruling

“Virtually all of his Watergate conduct” could easily fall into what the Supreme Court now says is official conduct, said Nixon’s former counsel.

We must defeat #TFG or we'll be targets, lose our rights...

"The notion that any illegal action could be draped in the cloak of “official conduct” should alarm all Americans. As the dissent points out, if as C- in-C Trump were to order Seal Team 6 to assassinate pol opponents, what's to stop him? Given that the next pres. could be an already convicted felon, the prospect of an imperial pres. with a get-out-of-jail card should be terrifying."

The election turns on fear of electing a king.

The Washington Post

What do you call citizens whose tax dollars fund the 24/7 lifetime personal protection of a man who attempted to overthrow their democracy, one which he had taken an oath to preserve, protect, and defend?

You call them fucking idiots; that’s what you call them.

End Trump’s lifetime Secret Service protection. He’s a proven domestic enemy of the Constitution.

Finally! The EU has found a legal way of supporting Ukraine, circumventing the Hungarian blockade, using special rules introduced under the pandemic.

This means an end to the veto blockade from Putin's Hungarian helper, Victor Orbán.
