presidents are not kings.
its a no-brainer, right? its like the very first thing anyone learns about America. we fought a whole Revolutionary War about it. US presidents are bound by the same laws that the rest of us abide by and for two and a half centuries, hardly anyone has had a problem with this.
but along comes big fucking baby Donald Trump, so worked up over losing an election that he sent an armed mob to the Capitol to try to overthrow his own government and he got indicted for it. but then Donny was all nah bro, laws are bullshit and I should get to crime all I want because mommy says Im special and I have presidential immunity.
...
any sane Supreme Court would have quickly slapped Trump with a writ of go fuck yourself, and wed be having a DC trial right now. but we dont have a sane Court. we have four bought-and-paid for Federalist Society hacks who sit snugly in the pocket of the plutocrats who tell them how to vote and we have Neil Gorsuch, who just fucking hates government and is deliberately out to create as much chaos as possible.

Thank you Jeff Tiedrich. He makes many astute comments that mirror the posts I've seen on DU in the past several months. A righteous rant and worth reading on
