from a forum I used to be on:

https://www.lushstories.com/profile/Magical_felix/forum (a bit nsfw)

According to the Supreme Court who ruled that presidents can do whatever they want and be immune if it’s technically official business, Biden can just blow up Mar-a-lago now and be done with it. No need to waste taxpayer money with elections and all that malarkey.

I mean, it would ensure there are no more classified documents there

[-] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 38 points 6 months ago

That seems like official business to me.

Gotta protect America's classified info from enemies right?

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 26 points 6 months ago

the easiest way to fix the courts is to appoint "all american citizens of voting age currently and any future citizen when they reach voting age" to the court - this means presidents would simply no longer be appointing people to the court. The current justices could still write opinions they would just be nonbinding without a vote of the public.

Maddow is possibly the worst person to get any kind of informed analysis from, maybe only a short and curly above Jimmy Dore.

What is your expert legal opinion on why this corrupt court just ruled to destroy democracy?

I would place her below Jimmy Dore and on par with Sean Hannity

I mean look at the downvoters.

No wonder this place is such a circle jerk, they learned from the goonlord edging queen Maddow herself, who single handedly managed to jerk off an entire nation about Trump's taxes returns, every night, for 900 days straight.

That's a supreme level of edging.

All my bad takes that are downvoted are because of circlejerks 😠

When they're upvoted it's because I'm Mama's smartest boy and they recognize it

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I would definitely rather listen to someone that can't write or punctuate a single sentence.

The Liberal Sean Hannity has something to say
