The significance here is the recent supreme court ruling that presidents have presumptive immunity for things they do officially while president, supposedly so they aren’t worried by a silly thing like the law when they’re trying to “be bold” or whatever. “Officially” is left very loosely defined, making almost any act potentially official and therefore immune.

Smith’s claim here is that the actions trump took around the 2020 election were not official acts of a president, but were fundamentally acts of a private citizen, and therefore not immune.

Listen, the Geneva convention only specifies what we can’t use on enemies, okay? As long as the targets are technically friendlies, it’s fair game!

I’m honestly not sure what you’re referring to. Is that a word they use a lot in their lyrics?

If you start it, just put a tag that the list is incomplete and the wiki crowd will finish it.
