So taking boxes of classified documents, after your term as president is over, is official, presidential business?
I know his lawyers throw shit at the walls, but come on!
I really don’t think that the Supreme Court is concerned with the details. It’s official if they say it is.
Kings have divine right and cannot break the law.
good bye, office of the presidency or whatever official name it had
welcome to the title of king of america
Trump himself proposed a new and hilarious twist on MAGA in one of his speeches: “Make America Great And Glorious Again.”
MAGAGA!
Can’t wait to congratulate his excellency Dear Leader on his sense of humor. /s
Full circle. Makes you wonder what the Declaration of Independence was for. And to Constitution… And like, a huge chunk of American history up til now. They should just go back under Charles. Say what you want about the royals, they do their job as well as a royal is meant to. Monarchies over large populations have their issues, but if this is where they want to head back to…
Correct me if I’m wrong, but that might cover taking the documents, but retaining them… he was no longer president and therefore incapable of taking ‘official’ acts?
Look, Judge Cannon says you raise some good points too. We’ll need some time for written briefs from each side. Due three months from now. Then we’ll need time for written responses, at least another month. We’ll schedule a few days of hearings to really hash through those details. And then she promises to think about it real hard, imply she’ll dismiss the case immediately once the trial begins, but make no actual official ruling yet, that would be premature. Then we have this backlog of other issues to work through of course even though we never actually decided anything yet on this issue. What, you suggest we address these issues in parellel? How dare you speak to a judge in this way, you are being inappropriate!! These issues that have been ruled on many times in the past by other courts as a routine matter are totally novel and demand years of study before a trial can begin!
Etc etc etc
If he doesn’t win the election and just fire half the justice department next January, she may just push the trial date so far Trump dies of natural causes before it even happens.
For the record, I imagine he could die any day now. His exercise regimen is driving around in a golf cart pretending to play golf, yelling at staff and scarfing McDonald’s hamberders.
(Yes. Hamberders count as exercise.)
There’s somewhat of a myth in the medical field, that nice patients will have something terrible and are doomed, but cantankerous patients will somehow stay alive through pure channeled hate.
But yes with all the hamberders you would think. And he’s 78, only about 2.5 years younger than Biden. According to actuary tables, roughly 5.3% chance of dying in the next year (7.1% for Biden).
That motherfucker wasn’t even president at the time.
“Citing a denial of the very idea of law, Trump’s lawyers seek to state that Trump didn’t break the law”
