Got some pot on you? Straight to jail. Try to overthrow the government? See you in 3+ years where you MIGHT get a slap on the wrist but also might get to be president again.

While you're almost certainly right... this is your response to what should be a tiny bit of good news? Maybe it's time for a break from the news?

I mean, what would you have done if they had ruled in favor of immunity instead of denying it??

As for me, I'll take the w here.

I kinda get your point, but also If you watch enough news you realize there is no W here. It's all meaningless because Trump owns SCOTUS and they have the final say.

EDIT: No, SCOTUS isn't beholden to Trump but electing him is in their interests.

They've ruled against him a lot. They could have thrown a huge wrench into the election by allowing Texas to sue PA, buy they didn't it. If he owned it, it would go the other way.
