Donald Trump is still charged with four counts related to his alleged efforts to illegally overturn his loss to President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
But Smith’s case was put on hold for months while Trump’s lawyers litigated their argument that he was immune from the charges because he was president at the time the alleged acts took place.
The Supreme Court took up the dispute. In a July 1 ruling vehemently opposed by its three liberal justices, the court held that former presidents enjoy “absolute immunity” from criminal prosecution for certain executive conduct and “presumptive immunity” for all other official acts.
I still can’t get over the Supreme Court declaring that the U.S. effectively has a king.
We should see if the Ukrainians have a spare handful of those new cruise missile drones available to visit the residences of the Tribunal of Six.
For real though, if those fucksticks actually try to ignore electoral results and hand the election to Trump, I genuinely do not see the situation getting resolved without a very significant level of political violence - perhaps even ultimately devolving into open civil war. Seriously, look at what Ken Paxton is doing in Texas only days ago. That is some authoritarian police state shit.

Shocked that there isn’t a smoking crater where each of their houses used to be.
Imagine if the US was the only country with a constitution with a clause specifically for this kind of situation

Biden should really be taking advantage of that ruling and doing whatever the fuck he wants
