Trump, the same Trump that killed boarder legislation because he didn't want to give biden a win?

Not him, no, never.

Isn't him doing that illegal? Like very illegal?

Do you think either Trump or Netanyahu gives a single shit about what's legal?

[–] orrk@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

look, he’s doing this in the context of his presidential duties, this makes it completely legal, duh, fucking serfs getting uppity. ~~SCOTUS

SCOTUS truly would decide that actions during an election year are presidential duties, unless they are impeachable and an impeachment is successful, in which case they were private citizen stuff all along.

[–] orrk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

no, impeachment doesn't matter anymore, literally only the SCOTUS declared the president untouchable, as long as they agree

Yeah, but if Reagan can get away with it

I wish people would stop saying "but" and maybe just like call it in? Stage a protest? Demand that he be brought up for charges?

Like if it's a crime and he doesn't have a defense, uhh... like what's the holdup? The "Teflon Don" from your history books was eventually convicted, even after it seemed his ability to escape consequences was limitless.

Maybe if they stopped sending billions in weapons to Israel they could make something happen.

How so? It's clearly evil but I don't know which law.

IANAL but I think the Logan Act only applies if the USA is a party in the dispute.
