The President Can Now Assassinate You, Officially
The President Can Now Assassinate You, Officially
Under this new standard, a president can go on a four-to-eight-year crime spree and then retire from public life, never to be held accountable.
You're viewing a single thread.
Its more like, the president can assassinate you if it is in the interest of the USA and not for the personal interest of the president.
So if ellected, Trump can assassinate all political competition, Putin-style, legally, but not Stormy Daniels
Who's to say that maintaining the dignity of the office of President is not in the interest of the US? She is impugning his reputation therefore making him look weak which could embolden our enemies. She must disappear for the good of all Americans. It's not hard to justify just about anything as an official act in the interest of the US.
If "maintaining the dignity of the office of President" is a core obligation of president, Trump could be impeached and convicted of that charge.
Not according to the way they define "official act". If it involves presidential power, it's an official act.
Then it is a joke of a decision
It is indeed. From a joke of a court.
Not really. Exercise of a Presidential power, no matter the reason, is immune from prosecution. If it's legal to drop a bomb on ISIS it's legal to drop a bomb on a pornstar.
So letting district courts decide if an action is or is not an official act, is just a joke if anything a president does is official act
A lot of people are reading this wrong. What is likely going to happen is that the district court will say that a grand Jury can decide if something is an official act. That might be challenged again but I'd wager that's the next stop in this saga.
But don’t forget that official government records and any inquiries as to the motives of the president will not be admissible as evidence in any such case.
So Stormy Daniels will have to avenge democracy, Rambo style
I’d re-up Netflix to watch this movie.
But whose interests are "the interests of the USA?"
