The left is determined to completely misunderstand this ruling. SCOTUS made no ruling that the president can do whatever he wants, call it an official act and it’s “okay.” They said that presidents are entitled to presumptive immunity from PROSECUTION for official acts. What constitutes an official act is a complex question, but is basically actions taken pursuant to their constitutional and statutory authority, not whatever whim they might have.
So no, Biden couldn’t legally arrest and put Trump in jail, he doesn’t have the Constitutional power for that. The government would need to bring actual charges and have a jury find Trump guilty in court, nothing the SCOTUS ruled changes any of this. The only thing this decision might change is if Biden did try to illegally arrest and jail opponents, could he himself be prosecuted for that? He could try to claim it was an official act, but that would be tough to convince a judge of, certainly no guarantee of immunity.
Just incredible. After posting a meme blaming Charlie Kirk for his own murder, they post another a few hours later applauding Democrats for their civility.
Also, if you look at the Occupy Democrats timeline, their posts “denouncing political violence” were variations on “no one should be shot…BUT here’s a quote from Kirk showing he’s a terrible person.” Or sometimes they’d leave the first part out altogether and just attack him. There are no posts denouncing violence without qualifiers trying to gin up their base.
It’s really incredible they’re trying this approach after 4 years of posting “Ridin’ with Biden” memes.
It’s funny to see the left use the same conspiratorial rhetoric as the right did a year ago regarding the jobs numbers being downwardly revised. So many on the right, who knew nothing of how the jobs numbers are calculated or why they revise them, were convinced the downward revisions were a conspiracy to help Biden win.
If people want to have a debate about the birth death model or the survey methods, ok, but that’s not what’s happening here. Most people are under the delusion that the BLS report is the govt reporting every job created and lost, and are thus easily swayed it’s rigged when it suits their political ends.
