As Justice Jackson rightly points out, if a president is immune from criminal prosecution, a president would no longer feel constrained to follow the law while in office.

And that's exactly what Trump and MAGA are hoping for.

MAGA is cheerleading for Trump to have absolute immunity for all acts, criminal or otherwise. The most extreme of the MAGA worshippers want a king, not a president.

Yet, they would have a meltdown if President Biden's rhetoric or actions amounted to anything half as bad as

He's doing this for two reasons 1) as a distraction from the fact Pecker laid out damning claims against him in criminal court today and 2) to remind his rabid MAGA base of who he really is.

Today, Trump's lawyer just argued a Trump military coup could 'well be' an 'official act' that is immune from later prosecution in front of the Supreme Court. What do you think?

Starting Topics:
1. Yesterday, an Arizona grand jury indicted 18 people in connection with an alleged attempt to use alternate electors after the 2020 election. One of the indicted, Trump attorney Christina Bobb, was recently named as a senior counsel for 'election integrity'

Arnold Schwarzenegger reading the news today

David Pecker says, back in 2002 and 2003, he was worried about paying to kill a story because of situation with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

In talking about the Schwarzenegger situation, Pecker said he wanted in the Trump case to make sure the Karen McDougal situation could not be

This is exactly how it works.

The fact that we're debating before the Supreme Court whether a president can be a dictator speaks to how dangerous and dark a path Donald Trump has lead America down. In November we must decide if we continue down it.

MAGA wants to push draconian laws and target them directly against women and their bodies. Tara Setmayer 🌻 discusses the detrimental implications of the abortion ban.

“‘Normal’ and Donald Trump live in different countries. The trial will afford Mr. Trump the opportunity to define the essence of his candidacy: I am a victim.”

Something that drives me a little insane, I'll admit, is that Trump's OWN LAWYERS at his impeachment told the Senators to vote not to convict him BECAUSE he could be prosucuted if it came to that. Now they're arguing that the only way he could be prosecuted is if they convicted.

President Biden is leading an economic boom, reducing the federal deficit, and delivering on infrastructure. Trump still thinks windmills cause cancer, advocates injecting yourself with bleach, and threatens to cut Social Security and Medicare. One's a leader, one's a loser.

Attorney for Jack Smith: There is no immunity that is in the constitution unless this court creates it today.

Justice Kagan: 'He's gone. Let's say this president who ordered the military to stage a coup. He's no longer president, he wasn't impeached, he couldn't be impeached, but he ordered the military to stage a coup. You're saying that's an official act. That's immune?

D. John Sauer,

The Kennedy family has been at the helm of change & progress in our country for many decades. RFK betrays his family's legacy by peddling cheap and dangerous conspiracies from the far right. They know to support Biden, not him.

Justice Sotomayor: If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military to assassinate him, is that within his official acts to which he has immunity?

Trump Attorney: That could well be an official act.

Is he arguing for Trump or Putin?
