ijebosb:https://www.weekendreading.net/p/tipping-the-scales-the-maga-justices The link above is from you tweet showing this goes back to Bush v Gore, and that I've been observing since the 39th. You should have seen me Tea Party. It felt like my world would end then Obama. The United States of America is a democracy of We The People who elect those who govern, so if We The People want a shoot people kind of president that's what gets elected, and if they don't want they vote something else. It really is as simple as that in my view. Good thing now is more eyes get to see what's being going on and get to decide if they want it.

ijebosb:The below is the conclusion of the post you selectively quoted: PDPGuy:And here is a further post by the same person where Secret Service is (use of) "official duty". PDPGuy: |
Obainoman6:You chop too much? Obainoman6: |
Biden ended his speech with the more appropriate rally call for Liberal Democrats, as opposed to a dumptatorship. November we decide if We The People dissent.

ijebosb:Let us assume this view above is true. Are you asking buda to have so little faith that a line won't be drawn by We The People when the president of the United States stands immune on Fifth Avenue and shoots someone? ijebosb:Just heard this on CNN too, but its not an understanding I share and its based on the sky falling, a feeling I know you share. Dump is the first president ever in almost 250 years to have been indicted for crimes in office, and even if he wins in November and does lots more crimes, his time will be done and be over and 2 in 250 years is good innings, the like I'd bet money on. If my country Nigeria hit those sort of odds, I'd say we done good. You said "this Supreme Court does not represent the majority", and thankfully, that majority is determined at elections by We The People voting. If We The People want our president to be immune for ordering the National Guard to shoot people, a thing I see dump doing when we Black Lives Matter and My Body My Choice and Charleston, then that's what we'd elect. And if We The People don't want that sort of president we'd elect someone else. Or is We The People now so maga that no one would see the emperor is naked in the United States of America? The fear bit I do understand I daresay. If Biden had done a good debate, this judgement would have been a win I'm sure. But we now on wobbly ground come November, sadly. |
ijebosb:I read. In the United States, impeachment is a remedial rather than penal process,[14][15]: 8 intended to "effectively 'maintain constitutional government' by removing individuals unfit for office";[15]: 8 persons subject to impeachment and removal remain "liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law."[15]Explain how a president is immune from the bold please. |
GenFunction:Yes. Indeed I am lawless, and my fam too is lawless. Fam being what may best be described as my collective unconsciousness. Thankfully, my generation is dying and a new better generation is kicking us out.

raumdeuter:I hate dump so much I can't write his name right, so I've written to Biden to use his official powers to just cancel the November election and declare his second term starts now. "We just have to remember who the hell we are. We are the United States of America. There is nothing — nothing, nothing — beyond our capacity — nothing — when we do it together. And we plan on doing that. You’re allowing me to do that". President Joe Biden. |
ijebosb:Your example was a bad example. If a president is impeached, it is because their act is considered to be "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. U.S. Const. art. II, § 4", which is illegal and not an official act, so they can be prosecuted, is what you miss. |
ijebosb:Ijebos, those people have not won. If anything, they won a battle, and I'm arguing they haven't, note. They definitely have not won the ongoing war. And seriously, I do hate when you make it sound like you are weak and have lost, when I know you will fight till your dying breath and even your rotted bones so they lose! If Americans agree with you that "The Court does not represent a majority of the US population", then the majority of the US population just need to elect people who represent them so judges who represent them get to be placed in the court. It is a democracy after all, no? |
ijebosb:Stop right there! Lol! Where does his "perfuming a Constitutional defined power, driving" include "kill someone"? Dude please, you live in America, and you should know that even if a president is not charged in court for killing someone because of the shirt they wear, Congress may decide to impeach that president and ask for their prosecution. And even if Congress don't, you still have the jury of We The People who may decide to find that president guilty and punish all those Congress members for not performing their duty of protecting the Constitution of the Unite State of America. Or do you think a party not winning an election for a generation would not be a deterrent or punishment enough? Or is it that you think the voters in America wouldn't mind electing presidents who kill people for the shirts they wear? |
ijebosb:This ruling has not placed any president above the law! It has just placed a president's official acts above the law. But you seem to think a president ordering the murder of their opponents by the military is an official act for some reason, and I do not agree with your understanding. |
happney65:And that is precisely why he still has a case before U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan. It is not his official duty to not uphold the Constitution of the United States of America that he swore to uphold. And in fact, not upholding the Constitution is a treasonable offence that the President is not immune from prosecution from whether acting officially or not. And I hope Jack Smith adds that to the charge if he hasn't already. |
ijebosb:I do not agree that a dump in office can claim he was performing his official duty if he shoots someone on fifth avenue and is therefore immune. I do not believe America is so dumb and stupid that they would claim this ruling claims and accepts nonsense like that. Even his acts in the current hearings before U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan still need to determine what is official or not, and I am willing to wait on her ruling instead of letting the sky fall on my head. |
ijebosb:The court has not "just said the powers defined by the President in the Constitution are Immune from prosecution"! To start with, the president does not define his powers. The constitution does. And there's nowhere it says he can order the military to kill his rival! Besides, simple reasoning would dictate that if what you claim is true, all acts of dump while in office are immune because he used presidential powers, but I'm certain he still has a case since: "Instead, the high court's ruling sets the stage for hearings before U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan on what allegations in special counsel Jack Smith's indictment should be considered official acts and, therefore, potentially immune from prosecution". Those that are considered unofficial, if any, will be prosecuted, if time allows of course. |
happney65:Sorry, but this is not true. The president does not decide what official acts are. The Constitution of the United States of America does, and it clearly states when a president shall leave office. |
ijebosb:So, you think this ruling gives dump the right to go shoot someone on fifth avenue and be immune because he is Republican? I so wish dump agrees with you and goes to shoot someone on fifth avenue so we can see if it is hyperbole or not. |
ijebosb:I have read the ruling in its entirety, but perhaps I missed the bit where the president is immune if he ordered the military to go shoot dump, so please show me that bit I missed pleased. I want dump shot! |
ijebosb:This is your own understanding, and in my opinion, is hyperbole. If Biden were to agree with you, he will just arrange another official debate and shoot dump on national tv and be immune from persecution because "it was an official act". But I'm very certain Republicans will not agree this ruling gives Biden that right, and neither does Biden, I hope. |
ijebosb:Since you already have the Constitution that determines the official duties of a president, you don't need motive to determine if a president shooting someone on Fifth Avenue is official act or not. |
basilico:No, I don't think the dissenters would dissent if they were not suffering from TDS. And I in fact find it shameful that Sotomayor would say what was said below. Its what I'd expect from a biased left wing non-maga Supreme Court Judge Mrs Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, since the ruling does not place any president above the law.

Naijayouth:The below says "priests", but in Nigeria's context that would be and or mullahs and babalawos. Basically, we'd have 3 parties. The Muslim Party, The Christian Party and the Indigenous Religion Party, and they would have to somehow determine who leads amongst them and how. But of course that is not what the advocate of theocracy meant, and probably thought their preferred religion dictated. And even the scenario I described is simplistic as the Christian party will be split into the Baptist party and the Catholic party and the Methodist party and the Cele party and Adeboye party etc. And the Muslim Party will split into the Sunni party and the Sufi party and the Tariqa party and the Qadiriyya party and Tijaniyyah party etc. And there's also the Sango party and the Ogun party and the Sopono party in Yoruba land, and thousands of others everywhere else. Basically, we'd be exactly where we are now and worse, which is why it was abandoned for the Kingocracy (monarchy) of Saul.

Good thing is, now its been highlighted, they can be kicked out and any funds they've received as salary can be recouped from them. We might even, with good lawyers, be able to declare any actions they took to be illegal. Still, pity we had to be so lawless that this happened in the first place. |
Biniam Girmay becomes first black African to win Tour de France stage Girmay won stage three of the 2024 Tour in Turin after a crash in the peloton, three kilometres from the finish, dashed Mark Cavendish’s hopes of becoming the Tour’s record-breaking stage winner for yet another day. The 24-year-old Girmay, riding for the Intermarché-Wanty team, and already winner of a stage in the 2022 Giro d’Italia and of the Belgian classic Gent-Wevelgem, took his first Tour success after sprinting ahead of Fernando Gaviria and Arnaud De Lie. “Ever since I started cycling, I’ve always been dreaming of the Tour,” Girmay said. “But to win in my second Tour, in a big bunch sprint, is unbelievable. It means a lot, personally for me, and for the continent. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/jul/01/cycling-tour-de-france-2024-stage-three-biniam-girmay

The dumpers are gaslighting as usual, and severe TDS is making some fall for their gas. The Supreme Court has simply ruled that the District Court separate the president's official acts, duties which are defined by the Constitution and are immune, from the unofficial unconstitutional acts which are not. But some are reading this as if dump can presidentially go shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it. Lol. Yet, they likely wouldn't claim it gives Biden that same right.

ijebosb:The above is no different to a stupid idiot yelling ijebos is gay. And anyone who has been here long enough would shake their head at your nonsense. |
