The Party of Jesus Christ just made Fucking a Porn Star behind your Pregnant Wife's back and then using your Sheep's Money to keep her quiet an OFFICIAL Act of the Presidency! And DEMOCRATS are the Swamp!
Trump never wanted to "drain the swamp". He wanted people to look elsewhere. He is the swamp.
The Federalist Society is the actual "swamp"/deepstate. Just look at them ruling from the highest bench in the nation. They are kingmakers and drain the swamp was just another projected lie.
No, that's not at all what they did.
All those things happened before he was president. None of it would count.
This ruling is about his January 6th trial, and the Georgia election interference trial.
He has not yet been convicted of either of those, so there is nothing to overturn. He's talking about the hush money case.
Yes I know that's what they're talking about. And this SCOTUS ruling doesn't effect that case at all.
This case was brought to SCOTUS by Trumps Jan6 lawers. It only matters to things done while in office.
The bribery case, the falsified documents case, aren't at all effected by this ruling.
no, he arranged for the payments before being president, but signed off on them afterwards, in 2017, while he was president.
Ah! I didn't realize that. Then it might derail that conviction.
Thought it would still be a big lift to determine it was an official act as POTUS.
That is the whole point of the ruling -- to cause confusion and allow there to be an argument that it was an official act. It's clearly not and any logical and reasonable person would see that, but logic and reason doesn't exist in this country anymore.
