Could you give a summary or overview of your understanding of the article?

Because that was the most buzzword ridden barely coherent thing I've tried reading in a while.
Tried reading is a good description. I too failed.

yeah, because Americans have lost their plot. No one respects them. Today I was talking to a Persian lady. She said she was dancing when their president died in a plane crash. she talked about How they are being forced to cover their hair and she is an atheist.

She said the majority of Iranians are being forced against their will by Islam. sadly, many countries in Europe are shaping their fate with mass migration of people who do not share their values or accept their values.
Anyone who comes to Europe must obey the law, which is what dictates values, and not some imaginary God that most have abandoned. We have elections, but you wouldn't hear anyone campaigning and mention God because it does not sell here anymore. We've evolved past that stage a long time ago.

Some of us fear very much that dump is being used to turn America into a Christian state. And to many, that is no different to Iran.

Who would have thought
They are Conservatives. The conservers of the status quo. And they only took power after 10 years of Socialist Labour.

Anyways I am not that pained for the US,but for developing countries and developing democracies like ours . Because when a Dictator comes into Power in the US,It will reveberate all around the world and the rest of us,our yeye leaders can decide to do otherwise because they will feel more emboldened.
This, happney65, is my concern too. Blighty election is 2 days time. We kicking tories after 10 years and there's nothing on this earth that will change that, but US November is not done yet.

I don't think the majority of Americans will vote dump. I hope most Americans don't vote dump. I have immense trust and faith in We The People of the Federal Republic of the United States of America.

Anyways, you see how Dems are calling for Biden to step down right? But the GOP are rubbing the head of head of a spoilt brat who is a convicted fellow.
Biden is not stepping down.

And how dare you expect those ignorant maga kraken gops to have any standards?

happney65:
Anyways,Biden should also shut down the case against his Son and classify it as official Acts since two can play the game.
Blues don't do such nonsense. If they did they'd be gops.

When gops go low Blues go higher due to the better developed mind.

It's a shame.
Dems want Biden out, and if they believe the gaslighting they are doing, they should ask Biden to take out Trump or LOCK HIM UP BY FORCE before he leaves and all he has to say is he has immunity. Even if she should not be able to do that, his immunity should let him do it by force and still get away with it.
Republicans hero worship and think everyone must hero worship like brainless they do and would vote my body your choice and some lives matter all of a sudden. I guess they never met my faithfully scared Ijebosb.

Dems don't want Biden out. Some Dems worry We The People would think Biden is so senile and they'd do better with someone else. Those few Dems are the ones who want Biden out, them and you irrelevant noise makers. Unfortunately, that boat sailed as Kamala is no option so we Blue where we at with Biden.

The gas is making fun of your immunity crap since Blues don't need that nonsense.

Yeah, as I said,

Budatuum says he agress with Biden's perspective.
Biden's perspective aligns with IjeBos's perspective that we are in a Seminal moment in the US and agrees with Sotomayor's "With fear for our democracy,
A very seminal moment, to which buda agrees. And which you and all the other Ijebos will fight to protect America from the same immunity crap that was fought against in 1776, and which was defeated just as I have faith you'd defeat this.

ijebosb:
So Budatuum should agree with IjeBos's perspective that we are in a Seminal moment in the US and agrees with Sotomayor's "With fear for our democracy,"
But you don't. You believe Sotomayor was being apocalyptic. So you don't agree with Biden and you don't agree with me.
Sotomayor was being apocalyptic! Sotomayor's apocalypticness increases your fear and increases my faith in you that ensures you will fight to your last breathe so the apocalyptic does not occur.

Now, if you want buda to be afraid and afeard, you just give up the fight and let dump and his stupid scotus immunization get in the White House in November. Perhaps when you see all the other very scared and afraid Ijebos shouting my live matters and my body my choice and fuq proud boys, you'd understand how much fight is in you.

You mean this one?
The one where Biden agreed with Sotomayer's dissent? The dissent you called apocalyptic?
The one where Biden sounds almost like me, warning about the path the Supreme Court had been on?
I told you to link me a commentary from someone you agree with that agrees with your perspective.
This isn't it.

Yes, Ijebo, that same one where he is telling We The People what should be done to save America from dump.

ijebosb:
I hear you. Unfortonetely your perspective from across the Pond is not the perspective of concerned Americans here like Biden who said he agreed with Sotomayor's dissent. You seem to have a desire to believe it's not as bad as it is. Go on.
It may seem to you that I "believe it's not as bad as it is", but this is so bad, its almost comical.

Imagine. Before this dump cretin became president, he already believed he can grab pussy and shoot people on fifth avenue and be immune and get away with it, and now a whole supreme court of the United States of America have sided with him and given him immunity! Can it possibly get worse? Yes it can. If We The People endow him with immunity by electing him come November.

My future is in the hands of Ijebosbs like you. Your fear of how bad it is and might get is like a fuel rod up your backside that will save me from dump's second term wrought.

Vote Blue and save America for me please.
My faith in you is unwavering and undying.

Your understanding of act is limited in terms of the legal sense. You are given immunity for all consequences surrounding your official act. It's a broad immunity or else it wouldn't be immunity. Similar to the immunity Congresspeople have in Congress. A Congressperson can literally read a classified document on the House floor that has nothing to do with any bill being proposed and there would be nothing the government could do as the Speech and Debate clause is that broad.

You are arguing the concept of immunity. Do a study on the concept and you'll understand where you are going astray and the purpose.
And you are limiting yourself from recognising whom this supposed immune potus will presumably be immune from, and do not realise he may not be immune from the wrath of We The People.

In a sense, it's like what's happening with Roe v Wade. The Scotus said the people should decide and many people in many states are deciding to abort. Same as We the People will decide if they want an immune president come November or not.

The President via 'Article II, Section 2, Clause 1' has the Core Constitutional Power to be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy. Now Roberts in this Ruling says that when using that Constitutional Authority, POTUS has absolute immunity (section of quote you thought was so important). So any time POTUS uses that power to command the Army of Navy, POTUS has absolute immunity.
Now imagine POTUS knows that a political opponent is in a particular building overseas. POTUS intends to kill that opponent. POTUS tells Seal team Six that there is a terrorist in that building and to drone fire that building. They do. Opponent killed.
By this ruling, POTUS was using one of their Core Constitutional authorities. So POTUS is immune. Even more so, per this ruling, no one can even question the motivation of why POTUS wanted to drone that building in the first place. Bold action indeed. lol.
You really are funny. Potus is obviously not going to be immune from the judgement of the supporters of the opponent he killed now, would he? And if those opponents manage to get some of his supporters to see as they see and become the majority, will we not not elect that person?

I have faith that We the People of the USA will continue to "hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" and that it is unacceptable for any potus to disendow anyone of their unalienable Rights of Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness just because you don't like the shirt they wear or even for no motive whatsoever. But if the USA has become so maga that they forgot this, then you all deserve the misery you get to be frank, and in heaps of spades too.

ijebosb:
You still don't understand it.
The constitution gives the POTUS the Power to control the military.
What he does with it is his motivation.
What he does with it is not his motivation!

If a president kills someone with the official military or a car he is officially driving because he does not like the shirt the person is wearing, as you presented, his motivation is the dislike for the shirt, which you are saying can't be questioned, while his unofficial act is the killing of the person, which is a crime that will be questioned and which he can be charged for.

Not being able to present the motivation of disliking a shirt before a court does create some difficulty, of course, especially if he claims it was official duty, but this ruling has simple made it such that a district judge must first rule if the killing is official or not, and if the judge rules unofficial, the charge goes ahead.

Now, there's this super jury of a majority called We The People who will judge this president unofficial or not. We all saw the evidence on Jan6 televised live on our tellies and will vote if we like what we saw or not. And if the majority of us think his killing someone is official and legal, we will gladly elect the killer, signifying not guilty, but if we don't like the killing of people we will not elect the guilty criminal.

Or don't you have any faith in We The People of the Federal Republic of the United States of America?

Scientheosopher:
Hasn't that being going on? For example, Investigative journalist, David Hundeyin informed us via X, newspapers, etc about the drug case of President BAT, his philosophy of "What money can't do, more money can do", multi-million naira houses bought under two of his younger children, the Nigerian Air scam, etc yet people who call themselves "educated and smart" still voted and are openly supporting him.

Our problem isn't lack of education; our problem is we haven't suffered enough. And we haven't suffered enough because we largely believe all consequences can be begged, payed, prayed or sacrificed away.

On Europeans victory, it's because they don't have a place to go to; they consider Africa inferior continent/race.

And since it's less stressful to immigrate than educate willful ignoramuses, the fortunate ones take that path.
The bold is a consequence of the lack of education required to use our senses correctly, such that, instead of feeding (and ruling ourselves) with the sweat of our brow (and the knowledge and intelligence in our heads), we ignorantly beg and pray for manna from heaven and suffer and starve.
