It always is. Just show he does not know how anything works still.
Every single news outlet should be covering and hammering home how much of a false equivalency this bullshit is. But no I'm sure there will be framing of it as a both sides issue. I am so sick of how utterly meaningless and gutless the news media has become in this country.
"From Joe Biden refusing to interfere in investigations to Donald Trump proclaiming he will use the office to destroy his enemies, both sides are politicizing the Department of Justice.

I just can't even muster much emotion because this is what inevitably happens when a literal terrorist is treated with such gentleness that it's taken 6 months of litigation to try and decide if it's bad that he continues to happily break all the already hilarious lenient pre-trial conditions of his release.
To any random GOP Congressperson this week:
"What is your comment on Donald Trump saying he will weaponize the DoJ against his enemies?"
"Uhhh, I haven't seen his comment. I have an elevator to catch."
Media: That's good enough.

No, depending on which congressperson is asked they just might outright say "well President Trump is right"
Most likely it would be well the democrats did it too so...

As much as I hate these cult members of his, they can be good with using computers to get information.
Sure, but I'm assuming the source of that screenshot wasn't one of them.
Ok this I'll laugh at because Jack Smith quite literally stared down men at The Hague who had been warlords in civil war Yugoslavia and had them tried and convicted for war crimes. Men who personally ordered and participated in massacres. I somehow doubt this shit is going to do anything except annoy him.
is there a way for them to track these people? Do they use some kind of call forwarding service to mask their phone number?
He must be feeling good heh,dude you threats are wasted dumbass

Definitely a thing you do when you're confident that the court will rule your way.
Agreed. I'm starting to come to the realization that he's 77, you look at him at recent events, he looks fucking terrible. The stress is clearly getting to him, so I'll take solace on him croaking due to the cases piling on him, than him setting one day in prison, which may never happen with the number of appeals he'll do.
The swatting thing is just so dumb. Cops aren't going in guns blazing for someone incredibly famous.
I'm going to throw the biggest fucking party the day he dies.
This immunity argument is NOT going well for Donnie Dipshit.
"Now PAN pressing Trump's attorney on why, if president's are "absolutely immune" from prosecution for official acts, they're also arguing an impeached/convicted president can be prosecuted for official acts."
They destroyed their own case in less than 5 minutes. That has to be a new record.
I'm listening to this court case right now .. (Is there actual video anywhere?)
Whoever is speaking badly sounds like they need to clear their throat damn
Whoever is speaking badly sounds like they need to clear their throat damn
They're actually asking questions that many of us and many TV pundits have been asking for years.
Could a President order someone killed and be completely immune? Can a POTUS sell pardons and be totally immune? Could a POTUS do ____ crime and be immune?
And the Trump lawyer's answer is fucking YES unless he has been impeached and convicted first! Total insanity!
If this decision comes down quickly which I suspect it will my hope is SCOTUS doesn't hear the appeal so we can get back to the trial itself
Good lord.. this is going sooooo poorly for Trump and CO.
They KNOW they don't have a leg to stand on.
They KNOW they don't have a leg to stand on.
The argument is the president can do anything which makes their own power worthless. No one with any sense would agree to that.
Can you share a link to the audio?
Edit: Found one. https://www.youtube.com/live/V2nOwhQoh9Q?si=pyYRZRwVlb9pajPx
Right, they are arguing that in a country that was partly founded on the rejection of the idea of a "King" that a President is basically "King" while in office and immune from any consequences of his actions conducted during their Presidency, in perpetuity.
Trump is there in person when he has no need to be specifically to see that they do this.
The ENTIRE point of the United States having a president and NOT a monarch is the ability to hold them accountable!
Judge Henderson on Trump's immunity claim: "I think it's paradoxical to say that his constitutional duty to 'take care that the laws be faithfully executed' allows him to violate criminal law."
They do realize that they are arguing in favor of giving the current president (who is not Donald Trump) immunity to do whatever he wants, including destroying all of their arguments for Biden being a criminal? Bold strategy.
The argument that the president could murder all of his criminal opponents, with the only recourse being an impeachment vote where he could easily murder everyone in the building by bombing it to rubble, is both absurd and frightening to say out loud. This while simultaneously arguing that the president is *not* sworn to uphold the laws of the land, is basically asking to give Trump the same "qualified immunity" that we've given US police, with all of the nightmares that entails.
