Exactly.

The exact type of scenario was posed to the Court and SCOTUS bought it.

We tried warning you all.

Clearly he wasn’t acting officially as president when he used the EPA to poison this young man’s mind with freedom (pfas) free water. He was acting as the authoritarian head of ANTIFA

Ok let them bring the charges against him and let’s have the supreme clown court explicitly say it’s not an official act. Let’s get that on record now.

They ruled in a way that didn’t really define what an official act was, so if I’m not mistaken, any act could still be up to SCOTUS to ultimately determine if charges were brought and prosecuted.

Or at least it would have to be shown to not be an official act. And since taking classified documents home with you and showing them around to people after your presidential term is over may or may not be an official act, all bets seem to be off.

There’s a reason conspiracy theories run rampant on the right. These people are so gullible, and a big part of it has to do with the fact that they are far less educated on average. As a result they tend to just follow news they want to believe in as opposed to challenging their own biases.

These people lack the most fundamental critical thinking skills…

This has been proven time and time again.

It’s a defining feature of conservatism

Does Lower Cognitive Ability Predict Greater Prejudice?

[T]here exists a solid empirical paper trail demonstrating that lower cognitive abilities (e.g., abstract-reasoning skills and verbal, nonverbal, and general intelligence) predict greater prejudice. We discuss how the effects of lower cognitive ability on prejudice are explained (i.e., mediated) by greater endorsement of right-wing socially conservative attitude. […]

Right-wing ideologies offer well-structured and ordered views about society that preserve traditional societal conventions and norms (e.g., Jost, Glaser, Kruglanski, & Sulloway, 2003). Such ideological belief systems are particularly attractive to individuals who are strongly motivated to avoid uncertainty and ambiguity in preference for simplicity and predictability (Jost et al., 2003; Roets & Van Hiel, 2011). Theoretically, individuals with lower mental abilities should be attracted by right-wing social-cultural ideologies because they minimize complexity and increase perceived control (Heaven, Ciarrochi, & Leeson, 2011; Stankov, 2009). Conversely, individuals with greater cognitive skills are better positioned to understand changing and dynamic societal contexts, which should facilitate open-minded, relatively left-leaning attitudes (Deary et al., 2008a; Heaven et al., 2011; McCourt, Bouchard, Lykken, Tellegen, & Keyes, 1999). Lower cognitive abilities therefore draw people to strategies and ideologies that emphasize what is presently known and considered acceptable to make sense and impose order over their environment. Resistance to social change and the preservation of the status quo regarding societal traditions—key principles underpinning right-wing social-cultural ideologies—should be particularly appealing to those wishing to avoid uncertainty and threat.

Indeed, the empirical literature reveals negative relations between cognitive abilities and right-wing social-cultural attitudes, including right-wing authoritarian (e.g., Keiller, 2010; McCourt et al., 1999), socially conservative (e.g., Stankov, 2009; Van Hiel et al., 2010), and religious attitudes (e.g., Zuckerman, Silberman, & Hall, 2013).

that’s how cults work

Bolsonaro did it in Brazil and won.

Or… And hear me out… Let’s not encourage more crazy. There is already enough out there.

“Donald was allowed to have his center mass and head exposed by trained secret service agents in the most staged looking photo I’ve seen. He has a history in pro wrestling, hell Linda McMahon worked with him in his cabinet for years, so blood packs are no mystery, and are you going to tell me that a rooftop a mere 400 feet away from him was unmonitored? This is all faker than his tan.”

While there are stupid people on the left, they don’t usually get into office the way they do on the right.

“Sir, when you hear the first shot, reach up and pop the blood pack on your ear, then drop.”

Ummmm you might care to remember that the USSR also “bailed out” Europe.

You know…in the sense that you were dragged into a war you had no intention of joining, by a foe that had already gone 11 rounds with the UK and Russia.

The UK spent an entire empire “bailing out” europe. Twice. But we don’t hark on about it.

But you’re right about one thing - no one is coming to bail you out. You’ve made it abundantly clear you will only act unilaterally. Europe will stay in its lane, quietly hope that Trump has a stroke, but ready to stand on its own for a 3rd time.

Wouldn’t that eventually come back to SCOTUS, though, and have “official” determined by: Republican ✅ Democrat ❌

This isn’t karma, justice, or fair in any definition of those words.

Biden should come out and say it…“Yeah, I shoot his bitchasz, what now?”

And if he had he ordered it done then he likely wouldn’t be able to remember ordering it so jokes on them!
