Frat house government.... what a joke.
The Biden regime is the real JOKE!
Not doing law and order anymore?
Yeah right. They are even doing cocaine in the Whitehouse now.
You liked courts just fine in 2020. You're just a bigot df.
@@Cloudguy5673 Who the heck wants an authoritarian america. Take away rights that's already underway, disbanding of the states and the govt, one ruler autonomous, the homeless gets arrested yay, all looks akin to russia and north korea, hey you'll get that New World Order strengthening ties with the two, fun. Read project2025
A bit of a push isnt that. Not sure paying porn stars in cover ups is on the official docket.
The problem is Judge Merchan and his DA convicted Trump on hush money payments falsely being filed as Personal expense. If they were In Fact "Business Expenses" as the POTUS all witnesses, documents, and testimony related to that painstakingly litigated "Business Expense" are now under the purview of Presidential acts and not admissible towards any Trial against the Personhood that is currently Donald Trump.
They can't use evidence that is protected by Executive Privilege.
So why doesn't Garland release the Hur Transcript of Dementia Joe?
Well with this supreme court they will magically do it an official act.
trumps lawyer paid stormy,trump paid his lawyer, true or false
You are correct, and you demonstrate that the SCOTUS ruling is not so confusing after all.
Hush money is not a official act
Hush money also was not the crime. Try to keep up.
@@jesse_- Judge Merchan didn't agree. While Cohen paid Stormy off while a candidate. The monthly payments were made while president thus the election interference claim. Merchan is going to tie his tongue into a pretzel explaining that after much reflection he determined it was personal expenses while President yet not subject to the immunity claim. What a frigging mess...
Read my comment above 🐑 and stop watching MSM. They do nothing but LIE to you. Look at Covid, look at Biden. We all knew years ago that Biden was "gone" but MSM convinces all of you that you're not seeing what you're seeing!! Wake up please!
Hush money is not a crime. The intentional and brutal legal attack on Trump will not end as Dems planned. They are probably regretting their actions, it is turning out so bad.
They used evidence at time in office against him. Fake court. Fact verdict in N.Y.
If you've got two brain cells to rub together, your first question should be: Hey, wasn't the hush money thing before he was president? Even he's not stupid enough to think this will work, but he's betting his followers will be stupid enough to get angry when the court tosses his motion.
Hush money settlement never illegal... USA needs Good Trump more than ever, and fascist Hitlerite/Communist/warmonger Jokementia Bribery GONE!
Michael cohen took it upon himself to pay Stormy, Daniel's the extortionist. Then Michael Cohen extorted Trump.
And stolled
60000 extra dollars from Trump.
Cohen and daniel's should be arrested
The prosecutor and judge are already bending over backwards to accommodate Trump in this case.
hack smith should hav all assets taken away for Damages..
The actual charges were fraudulent records in 2017, entirely while he was president. The reason is the hush money that happened before, but the timeline is not dispositive here.
What the Hell is happening America
I have been asking the same question since 2021. Dims claimed Trump would destroy the country, he made it better, then Biden comes in and starts undoing everything and many americans are now a paycheck away from losing everything. Crazy!
Damn, Constituion ruining everything.
Blame fox news for this. Without them there is no trump
Party of Trump aka MAGA. With the help of Johnson, a corrupt SCOTUS and 'Christian Nationalists' hiding their wish to recolonize this country,
I fear that if there is a next Trump presidency, even in the USA we will see a dictatorship like in Russia, China or in the Germany of Trump's idol, Adolf Hitler. The astonishing and terrible thing is that he will be able to commit many serious crimes and legally, thanks to absolute immunity, NOTHING can be done to counter the dictatorship. All this thanks to the "masterpiece" decided yesterday by the Supreme Court, which, in theory, should also defend the Constitution and the Rule of Law, and not those who want to violate the laws for their own benefit.
Not an official presidential act.... He was a candidate, not a president.
It's before and after, and once a president, always a president, numbnuts.
He said he did not do it. I believe President Trump.
@@joewearsadroolbib7347Ex president and the evidence spoke for itsself. The man is incapable of telling the truth..
You got to remember this is Trump we're talking about He's dumber than a kindergartner who's dumber than a rock. he is going to try everything physically possible so he can try and become president again
@@joewearsadroolbib7347 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 f your cult leader
Focus is always on him. How does this reduce inflation, gas prices or housing costs?
You're demonstrably of poor IQ. his return will improve all of that once again.
His followers are not smart enough to see they're being conned.
That is not a Presidental Act !!!!!!!!!!!!×
He will investgate himself and find there was no wrongdoing
Works for the FBI, CIA, and Congress...
Hush money is not illegal
However, listing it as a legal expense is.
@@moondancers9194A legal expense?
I don't see how this ruling doesn't overturn all 34 convictions. Paying someone hush money isn't illegal. It's just a non-disclosure agreement. Trump's defense was that this was all a personal issue, meaning it wasn't illegal. But Alvin Bragg's entire case was that it was not a private issue, it directly related to his Presidency, and since he didn't disclose it, it was illegal. If Alvin Bragg is correct, then he is immune. So either way, these felony convictions are all invalid now.
Key point: Trump was not president when the Stormy Daniels incident occurred. It stands he is a convicted felon with 34 charges down, 88 to go.
Not true this is a state conviction and happened well before he was president and he was convicted as a former president
"Trump's defense was that this was all a personal issue". Then it was not an official act. 34 counts convictions are valid.
@@blondelp8451 Right... but it is not illegal if it is a personal issue. It's not illegal for a private citizen to have sex with a woman and pay her not to tell anyone. That is just a non-disclosure agreement. There is no crime. The ONLY reason this was allegedly illegal is because he did it in connection to his political office.
You have to pick your poison... either this is a private issue and it was not illegal... or it was not a private issue and so is therefore immune from prosecution...
Either way, the 34 felony convictions are no longer valid.
Y’all didn’t hear or read trumps argument. He and his lawyers are saying the prosecution used all his White House staff to prosecute a case that was before they were even were hired
But let’s talk about a clear cut case that is a double standard. Biden had top secret documents in his garage he too while he was a senator and vice president. Both offices didn’t allow him to take such documents. Trump on the other hand did have the right to take documents and be in possession.
Yet the left comes with millions of reasons to not go after Biden.
It all stinks partisan politics.
The left keeps screaming protect democracy but they are doing the opposite,,,,, they seems to be terrified of letting the people have their say at the voting booth in November. .
Supreme court showdown!!!
Christ. What is this. Jerry Springer?
More like an american shitshow being held at Walmart Super Center😂🤣
Bye America.Its Over.
The statue of limitations had already past for that case & should be thrown out!!!!
Watch the documentary, Unfit. That explains Trump.
Statute, not a statue genius. Cant fix stupid either 😂
"No matter what political party you align with I respect your choice. However, we must be allowed to question the efficacy and moral integrity of all candidates. The public wants leadership who are intelligent, have civil decorum, and a sense of humanity. We as a nation have lowered our standards by accepting mediocrity at many levels, and this has transitioned into our political landscape. Can we now speak to the issues and be open to better qualities which define the greatness of our nation. "
I pray our hearts can become one, so that God can Bless America once again.
Your great nation is no more. It died the day Trump became President.
For the past eighty years, U.S. GDP grew 4.1% on average under Democrats versus 2.5% under Republicans. Of the last ten recessions, nine occurred under Republican presidents. 8 of the top 10 states with the highest poverty rate? The Republican-led states of Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, West Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky. 8 of the top 10 states with the highest bankruptcy rate? The Republican-led states of Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, Indiana, Ohio, Arkansas, and Kentucky.
Agreed, too bad, facts don't matter.
all the states mentioned are the red states of dumbf*ckistan
@@Rustea314agreed facts don’t matter just feelings.
Story of presidential life, take credit for the previous administration's success, make no adjustments for the inflation caused by the current. Easy enough to adjust for inflation using CHATGPT but you're not going to like the results. I'm not the kind of person to get excited over less than a 1% diff...
Democratic Real GDP Growth: Approximately 0.58% per year
Republican Real GDP Growth: Approximately -0.49% per year
this is WRONG.. youre manipulating the data.. just like obiden removing items from the Consumer Index to make his numbers look good.. same for unemployment, what a joke dems are..
Have no fear about the Supreme Court ruling. We can change it if we want to.
Biden needs to use some power against this ruling
COPE HARDER
You are d u m b . If he did that he will be impeached by congress as an abuse of power . Just like what they did to Trump in 2019
This ruling gonna backfire watch
Will he ever be held accountable?
Sotomayor saying all that like presidents have never done any of the things she’s bringing up. She’s in for a rude awakening when she finds out these TV shows like “House of Cards” are documentaries.
There's one solution and only one solution to this problem
Trump can NEVER get into power.
He only looks out for himself!He is in for a rude awakinging
it definitely was a official
The President is not above the law. The Attorney General is, however.
This was planned all from the start. Alito & Thomas should of been disqualified in the first place for their traitorous behavior.
😂
That no right court do like big mistakes any president further have to do
What is this Joe Biden?
You're making no sense again
The president needs to be powerful and immune on official acts to effectively perform the duties of the office without fear of legal repercussions. This immunity ensures that the president can make critical decisions, enforce laws, and act in the national interest without being hindered by lawsuits or personal liability, which could otherwise distract from governance and undermine the authority and stability of the executive branch.
Careful what you wish for
Treasonous behavior abounds. Vote blue America for Democracy and Freedom 💙
She forgot about drone strikes on us citizens
Cant king Joe tell scotus where to go.
Media do not air anything Trump says. Tired of listening to all his
Ike’s and he needs to be told this every day.
They showed a video on a long time ago saying there was nothing Trump and her never did nothing what happened with that why is she still get money if nothing happened
Of course he did, and delay the sentencing, even though it has nothing to do with "immunity"
Yeah that's not happening.
You earned that fair and square;
Of course he does. That MUST HAVE BEEN OFFICIAL BUSINESS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like someone finally got to Judge Juan Merchan to shut him up too huh?
Because of course. Dump the trump.
Is it true abc for sale soon? What happened?
Can’t be overturned before he was president.
For the sake Of justice , we saw a Jury rig and Haters Baited Tainted I almost fainted
If you had a brain you would be dangerous.
LAW SINCE 1982...FOLKS...PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY
How is that, that was before he was President.
It doesn't make him a King.. it makes him a dictator. Bid difference.
Bye Bye Jack Smith..And Fanni Willis Georgia case was already dying and now it's dead for good.
@Mr walker in your dreams
Arrest Him
Nope he wasn't president when he did this
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW....ALMIGHTY GOD IS IN CONTROL!😢
Unfit, this documentary explains donald and his odd behaviors.
God is Great thank you Supreme Court !
Time for Biden to use these new powers and get rid of Trump on America's behalf
Good luck with that. Biden can't even comprehend. He's still trying to finish his sentence at the debate 😆
You mean Jill and Hunter? That who is running our country. No wonder they send all of our money overseas 😢
He's been trying for 3 and a 1/2 years. How long with his evil henchmen?
All Biden needs to do is issue an executive order prohibiting felons from obtaining federal office right after the Supreme Court session ends and before the election
Then tell seal team 6 to get busy
And thanks to 3 judges placed by Comador Bonespures Pussygrabber, President Biden is now King
Long live the king
President Biden is now completely immune ,from prosecution for ordering seal team 6 to eliminate trump😅😅
Biden would send the Seal team to eliminate Medicare....because ya know....he beat it. 😂
We beat medicare....end quote.
Stop repeating lame jokes
LOL! USA needs Good Trump more than ever, and fascist Hitlerite/Communist/warmonger Jokementia Bribery GONE!
Right, given how Trump is a direct threat to democracy and the foundation of this country.
Prosecuting presidents is a new Dem hobby.
Hush money is not Official....
Well he's got to be talking about himself too
Would that not be a unofficial act
Unofficial is a charge that has nothing to do with office!
Paying a prostitute is not official.. sex has nothing to do with the office!
I just found out that rage rooms are a thing. 😊
I keep saying. Trump is a genius. No law can beat Trump. No law can
We cannot allow this wreckinh ball to go back to the WH!
America , What is happening to you ? is the Tail Wagging the Dog ? Looks like it to me .
No more the office of president now is the office of king
The folks dont have to follow the rules
Uh miss Sotomayor, bribe is immune, that’s including our sitting President here. …. “ SOB they’re fire the prosecute within 6 hours, so I’ll give them a billion dollars “ …….hello 😂
Wait a minute. They are saying this means he is above the law. But the ruling clearly states he is not above the law. These dissenting judges are unbelievably liberal and political.
Oh there is no bots here...
This really sux.
We only have one king of the world and that is god you should not worship any other god are be were
Trump should not be a loud back to be run for office and should held accountable for his actions just like any one
Yet we are allowing a president who is mentally compromised to stay in office.
Let's hope Judge Merchan sentences Trump to jail for the fullest extent of the law and immediately has to carry out his sentence right then and there. Then we use Trump's tactics against him by delaying the appeal process as much as possible while Trump sits in jail. We all know that SCOTUS will try and bail out Trump if this reaches them.
All this wouldn't have happened had Democrats not interfered with last elections through cheating and not counting ballots in Georgia. They thought Trump was going to accept the election fraud result and simply move on. 😆
You're openly advocating for the subversion of the justice system to persecute a political opponent. You should be tried as a traitor to the republic and face the same charges as Benedict Arnold.
You shouldhere what Canadian ppl are saying about US , Trump and our Courts !! I cant even repeat it on social media!!
I recall one of Trump's enablers spoke of how trump really didn't care about abortion. He just wanted his judges on the Supreme Court in place in case he needed a ruling for his own personal needs. Unfortunately for America that's just what happened.
Thats why ..Bush Clinton and Obama haven't bn charged...
Of course he is!
Antichrist rising.
That’s not an official act 😂😂
No court is above the law I don't care who you are
Jesus Christ has the first and last word 🌹🌿
it's a beautiful day 😊😊😊
We need to vote Biden. Trump must be stopped
shut up and go to bed
What's the definition of the ANTICHRIST ?????? DONALD TRUMP
😅 you peeps are a cult 😅
I doubt Donald Trump will answer your asinine question.
Pax Romana 2024
No wars is an anti christ? 😂
every other president in the last 30 years engaged in unnecessary warfare, except donald trump. kinda weird move for an antichrist. you are completely unhinged.
Let’s go Brandon! MAGA 2024! We need Trump to UNDO damage democrats did and doing for USA!
That stays the way is guilty
He will be a fantastic dictator.
Biden and Harris this November.
Do you want to know how I feel?
I feel like William Holden in the last part of the movie "The Bridge on the River Kwai" (1957) when he runs across the river to meet Alec Guinness (played by D Dump and The Supreme Uppity Junta) only to get gunned down! Poignantly, he can only say... "YOUUUuuuwwww!!!" And then dies holding what should have been administered!
Get it grip. You're losing it
Can't think of anyone I despise more than trump. His cult is a close 2nd. None of this would be possible without them.
🖕🫵&FJB💯
Go Trump Go 2024!!!
not very christian like
And he don't know you even exist. Why waste your energy on such things
@@aishtaealatalniyranfialsaqie they aren't christian, they're anti God and anti america
I think Biden should go after all threats to our democracy, and bring out Seal Team Six. Thump Trump!

At the end of the day it is now clear what the MAGA 2025 project means for american society. It is up to americans to decide in November if they want to vote for elected autocracy...If they do, so be it. God save the King. Best wishes from the UK.

Next possibld Trump presidency will be a Dictatorship.
Half americans want simply that...😉
Thugs thugs thugs.....the USA 🇺🇸 is doomed
A HUGE win for Clinton and Monica Lewinsky!!!
Trump for king I'm ok with that
😂😂😂😂 God King Trump wins again
FJB!!TRUMP24!!
Biden sounds like he’s calling for an insurrection right now 😅
I LOVE the diversion... They did this to protect Biden but somehow this is all orange mans fault...
FJB is orange now
The crazy thing about the hush money case is that it’s an unofficial act. He deserves a quick and speedy jail sentence. He’s not even a president anymore!!! Make him pay for all his deeds. This ruling from the Supreme Court should count as the of yesterday. Put that nut behind bars.
Just throw out all his criminal cases and give him the keys to the White House, it’s inevitable.
I have horses that know more about constitutional law than Sotomayor.
This just cost Trump the election. 😂 Numbers are tanking.
What delusional world do you live in? Lmao
@@Wallcraft_Official Earth
@@KallonKultti You claimed that "this cost trump the election. numbers are tanking". What numbers? That's not believable by any measure, dems are literally scrambling to replace Biden as a candidate in a historically unprecedented move because they know Trump is going to win. What paint are you huffing dude?
