Look, USians, I don't want to step into your internal politics, but you see, 45 years ago, we spaniards had the occurrence to write in our constitution that the head of state (the king) has immunity from prosecution for anything they do while they are in the job, and now we have an ex-king with a Wikipedia page that includes a "alleged corruption" section 55 paragraphs long.

And it's only "alleged" because he can't be taken to court even with the piles of evidence that exist.

Just saying.

@javi I think we’re mostly right there with you—but the Supreme Court can and does just make up stuff, and we have zero control over these fucking clowns.

@thedansimonson @javi the thing I don't get is that IF the Supreme Court said "that the president couldn't be prosecuted for things including assassination" then why do they believe that they wouldn't themselves be assassinated the moment someone took power that didn't like their beliefs / agenda?

improper ideologue

@masukomi @javi I had a glimmer of hope that the SCOTUS would see that the decision to entertain Trump’s claims greatly limits their own power—and that they actually have the wherewithal and will to power to see through that, but I guess they’re fucking bootlickers like the rest of them.
