The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

BHM: Upon further reflection, the Grant of Immunity could be structured to say, "POTUS only and only for acts and decisions connected to discharge of official duties."

You do realize that Trump has already argued that his tampering with the election results in Georgia was "connected to the discharge of his official duties" as president, right?

And not to put too fine a point on it, but honestly what could Trump not argue was "connected to the discharge of his official duties" as president? Literally anything.

Sorry, but Trump is evil, Trump is corrupt, and there's nothing he would not do to feed his megalomania. He has turned the republican party into a personality cult that idolizes a man who echoes Hitler, took dozens of top secret documents when he left the White House, refused to ensure a peaceful transfer of power, incited an insurrection, stood by as his own vice president was being hunted down to be hanged, called insurrectionists patriots, publicly pressured his justice department to investigate his enemies, pardoned co-conspirators, defamed, defrauded, and has been declared a rapist in court.

But you want to tell us he will abide by the findings of the highest court because, you know, he follows the rules.

Puhleeze.
