Wow, when we find out everything Obama actually did while in office, maybe we can get him to come back. Meanwhile, they are still trying to clean up all the Clinton stains, and after Drump is gone, the whole WH will need to be flushed. Ah, America,,,
Enjoy all the crazy shit they're coming out with to distract us... and then promptly return to talking about Epstein again. The least we can do is try and get some entertainment out of this shitshow.
Lmfao, there is literally NOTHING damning on Obama, and everyone knows it. Side note, what makes me sick is that Republican filth have corrupted even black people against Obama and Kamala. My kids mom thinks that Kamala would have destroyed the country and Obama was a shit president who did nothing for America, she is black. That made me sick when she said that, she is my ex for quite a few reasons,.
Every new thing I see, I automatically think “damn that’s crazy what about the Epstein files” and I’m glad so many other people think that way.
This is a wild comparison, but with Bungie and Destiny 2, every time I hear about some ‘good’ or just new thing they do, my first thought is “damn that’s crazy have they added back the paid content they deleted yet?” and I hope that sort of situation keeps happening to Trump forever
Even YouTube comments on news accounts are full of people demanding the Epstein files, I'm honestly impressed that they're managing to muffle the bot accounts.
... are they actually forgetting that he can not be prosecuted for crimes he may have committed in his official capacity as President of the United States?
But shit, dropping area 51 alien bs as a distraction would be hilarious.
For exercising the powers granted to him due to his office. That is an important legal distinction, however, they also failed to define what those powers were to help Trump, and made the road forward so bad it will never get anywhere.
Isn't this just birther shit again? He could definitely be prosecuted for that since it would've made him ineligible to be president, not that I believe it of course, but it wasn't something done during the course of his presidency.
No… it’s the “Obama spied on Trump’s campaign in 2016” bullshit, which was really an investigation of Russian operatives and caught Trump campaign officials calling the Russians that were being watched.
It was basically just the Navy saying yes our pilots have seen things that they could not identify. It does make you wonder what kind of things can be at altitude where somebody who's trained to identify things that can get to that altitude can't identify it.
If you mean the "presidential immunity for official acts in office" thing they wrote up - it's written so that nobody that previously held office (and isn't sitting now - so trump only) is covered by the terms set down, just so Obama and Biden can't gain from it.
From my understanding its worded as all former presidents, and it came about closer to the end of the biden admin and was obviously meant to shield trump but I don't recall anything that restricted other previous presidents as well
You are assuming they wouldn't want to remove immunity from him. They wouldn't have much choice in taking it given they explicity said they were the arbiter of what is and isn't immunity.
I think we should start a rumor that if they legalize weed, we will forget about epstein. Obviously we won't, but right now they are doing any and every thing to get us to ignore it, might as well use it to our advantage.
Literally treason, that's what they want him for, because them keeping tabs on Russian spies meant they were also spying on Republicans. So obviously the treasonous ones are the Democrats because they were spying on Republicans who were actively committing treason.
Uhm, didn't the 'Supreme' Court recently rule US Presidents are immune from prosecution when acting in an official capacity? You know, like instigating an insurrection attempt?
I guess it's all up to who decides what an "official capacity" means? Hell they're probably just going to say, "well obama wasn't born in america, so he couldn't actually become the president, therefore everything he did was illegal. Take him away boys."
Honestly, the timing is almost exactly what it would take for this to make it through SC for them to narrow it basically giving the current immunity only to Trump before much of it is struck down at a future date right around when Trump is gone.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. - Francis M. Wilhoit.
Only for things the Supreme Court declares to be official presidential acts. And it's very likely five or six of them would be willing to rule that even the most obvious things aren't covered if they're done by a black Democratic president. (Not in so many words, but we'd know the reason.)

By any sane definition of "official act", the investigation into Russian interference would be covered. But we do not live in sane times.

SCOTUS : based on Washington said when he crossed the Delaware, we’ve determined that immunity does not in fact apply to Obama in this instance 😉
