consider that for thousands of years humans knew dogs evolved from wolves but nobody thought of... the actual theory of evolution

SCOTUS just made it possible for POTUS to be a dictator, undoing centuries of precedent that said no-one is above the law.

They did that massive favour for Trump just days after making it legal for "gratuities" to be paid to officials after the event.

Trump will have no compunction to stop him abusing this totally unreasonable power.

US Supreme Court rules Trump has immunity for official, not private acts

-The U. S. Supreme Court found on Monday that Donald Trump cannot be prosecuted for official actions taken as president, but can for private acts, in a landmark ruling recognizing for the first time any form of presidential immunity from prosecution.

The justices, in a 6-3 ruling written by Chief Justice John Roberts, threw out a lower court's decision rejecting Trump's claim of immunity from criminal charges involving his efforts to undo his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden.

The court's six conservative justices were in the majority and its three liberal justices dissented.

"We conclude that under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of presidential power requires that former president have some immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts during his tenure in office," Roberts wrote.

"At least with respect to the president's exercise of his core constitutional powers, this immunity must be absolute. As for his remaining official actions, he is also entitled to immunity," Roberts added.

If they’re people, businesses should have the downsides of legal social construct. Like being accountable for American made money moved overseas to avoid taxes. Or supplying our county’s enemies with equipment used against our allies.

I think he should but aparently many other Democrats think he should not. What do you think, and why?

Donald Trump on immigrants: “They’re taking Black jobs and they’re taking Hispanic jobs and you haven’t seen it yet but you’re going to see something that’s going to be the worst in our history,”

Did Russia also attack ukraine because they couldn't stand the fact that their ethnically relative nation ukraine abandoned russia and wanted to join nato

when I was 18 or 21 all I wanted to do was get drunk, fuck chicks, go to the gym and have fun. I feel like young people are really obsessed with politics now, is this a good thing or a bad thing? I'll admit me and my friends are probably too stupid, but are these people too concerned? Throw the judgment let me know

A panel of military experts suggested to Congress in 2020 that including women in the draft would be “in the national security interest of the United States.” Since then, Congress has repeatedly considered proposals to make the change, but they have all been scrapped before becoming law.

Women have since 2016 been allowed to serve in every role in the military, including ground combat, and there is some degree of bipartisan support for the idea that they should also be required to be subject to the draft

Other right-wing Republicans were quick to link the proposed addition of women to draft registration to what they argue is a trend of progressiveness run amok in the United States military. Senator Josh Hawley, Republican of Missouri, called it another “woke” decision being imposed on the nation’s armed forces.

“We need to get reality back in check here,” Mr. Hawley said on Fox News. “There shouldn’t be women in the draft. They shouldn’t be forced to serve if they don’t want to.”

The proposal for automatic registration has generated less controversy. Proponents argue it would streamline and lower spending for an agency that spends millions of dollars a year reminding citizens and residents of a certain age that registering is required by law.
