Absolute Immunity? Nope!

I think Dems can and will take the House.

The Senate is almost certainly going to the GOP as they are almost certainly gaining 3 easy seats (WV, Ohio, Montana) right off the bat. It's a very favorable map for them overall.

In 2022 you thought the GOP was going to have a senate supermajority and were off by 17 seats, lol.

I think the Senate map is tough for Democrats in 2024 but clearly your predictions are completely worthless.

I also seem to recall similar predictions of doom for 2020 and we ended up with a Dem trifecta.

Well if he's being paid to make us just give up, it ain't working.

What I'm really looking forward to is the day he's right and will then proudly tout his predictive abilities because he's no longer batting .000.

Lets not relax and fight tooth and nail to make that doom not actually come true!

It turned out a lot better than Hildabeast has this in the bag..

I'm not suggesting complacency. I'm suggesting assessing objective reality and not being a crazy person.

Going to be something like this:

Whatever hyperbole I may have said in the past is irrelevant - the GOP is at least guaranteed those 3 seats (WV, Ohio, Montana). That's not a stretch at all.

I promise not to rub it in when we meet up at the gulags.

‘I was comically wrong in the past but you should listen to me now’

Like others have said people could make a ton of money by simply betting on the opposite of whatever you predict.

As the SCOTUS diddles, the rest of the world moves on.

Lawsuits by members of Congress and police officers against Donald Trump for his actions on Jan. 6 may advance despite the related criminal case against him in Washington, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta rejected Trump’s effort to pause the lawsuits until the criminal charges over his attempt to subvert the 2020 election — brought by special counsel Jack Smith — are resolved.

I think it would help you to look at why you see disaster at every turn. I believe catastrophising is a psychological phenomenon based on projecting into the future repressed memories of the past. This means that everything we fear will happened already has. This means, also, that self understanding via psychoanalysis etc. can cure us of these irrational fears. The reason to avoid seeking help, however, is the feeling that if you know the truth it will be terrible. Well it is terrible and was terrible but it's in the past. Better to live with what happened in the past then let it ruin the future too.

I used to keep track of how many ends of the world I have lived through realizing one day I'd lost count as well as any need to kick myself for being wrong. Relax and be happy.

Yeah, that's true.

Legal experts reading the opinion. Roberts, president have absolute immunity for official acts. No immunity for non official acts

Thank you captain obvious

 

[gothuevos]

We got him this time, guys.

I think you'll find that many of us expected a Trump sized hole to be fabricated by this court. That they decided that its basically ok if Biden decides to order the military to kill them is somewhat of a surprise.

 

[eelw]

Alright, and there’s the punt. They pushed it back to Chutkan to determine if talks with Pence, chief of staff, personal lawyers fall under presidential immunity. Only clear line, any talks with the justice department are official acts

"Absolute immunity"?
Time for Biden to call Seal Team Six, and end this shit.

Plan B: Cancel the election, and declare yourself President for Life.

Sets the stage for whatever "official acts" Trump wants to employ. Not that he needed their green light, but it's official now.

And you thought all the talk about camps was hyperbole. See ya in the gulags!

 

[eelw]

Oh they pushed back. All the claims proposed by the former president are not fully covered. And they left the opening that once lower court decides, it may be brought back to the Supreme Court

And now we begin the almost endless chain of appeal ping pong.

Was Clinton getting a blowjob in the oval office an official act?

 

[Brainonska511]

Pretty ridiculous ruling. No problems breaking the law, as long as it was "an official act". Of course the partisans in robes went this route.

This decision strikes me as a Dred Scott level "Well we resolved that issue, surely no further problems now" caliber error in judgement.
