Speaks for itself. We’ve been beyond satire for a long time but this one still got me.
Overthrowing democracy was an offical act. - SCOTUS
damn, who could’ve possibly seen that coming? 🫥
If Trump is reelected, there’s about to be a whole lot of people within official act range.
The Supreme Court members who made this decision are in official act range right now at this moment. Donald Trump is in official act range at this moment as well. Not to draw conclusions but I’m not sure how serious the Democrats are about staying in power.
“They go low, we go high.”
😂 🔫
The should just be honest:
“Yes this is bad, but we might want to use this power ourselves so we won’t do anything to reverse it. You just need to vote so only WE have the power to use it.”
99% of democracies give up right before hitting it big and concentrating supreme power in the hands of a benevolent dictator.
Examine this change of logic. The democrats want a mandate from the people before they act antidemocratically? So that they can maintain the highground when they do an inherently lowdown thing? And they could do it now but they want a blue election first? Are you a snake eating its own tail?
Even the superrich aren’t safe.
Traitor.
All I’ve heard from MAGA so far is that fake electors aren’t illegal, followed by some explanation involving JFK and Hawaii. Now Trump himself is admitting that they’re illegal, but he’s immune?
A lot more people are about to go to jail for him.
Also, fuck MAGA for trying to nullify my vote.
Surprised pikachu face goes here
Managed Democracy called for aid and SCOTUS answered.
Wouldn’t their ruling not apply retroactively? Or if he declares it now it wouldn’t mean anything since he isn’t the sitting president?
Their ruling isn’t new law, it’s telling people what the law already said. Even all the stuff they made up along the way.
And the definition of “official” is so gray it could be anything and not anything! Gotta love vauge interpretations from what is supposed to be our finest judges.
I particularly like that they hinted that some things in the trial were official and some things weren’t, but they’re not going to tell anyone what they are at this time, we have to wait for the appeal to work its way back up. At which point the election will be over and they’ll just say “psyche, it’s all official”.
But even when prosecuting the pres for unofficial acts nothing involved in committing any official acts can be used as evidence in court.
