Hello
Goodnight 🇬🇧 😂👍
Pretty fkn embarrassed by my country right now.
As an European citizen, I am becoming scared about the future. Scared 😱
ATP: this is REALLY BAD for America and Ukraine Support. I think NATO Trump proofing is the smart play right now! 😑🙄😑
In Canada, supreme court appointments are not seen as such high stake events as the separation between the legal and political alliances are strong. Prime minister Steven Harper actually appointed 7 of 9 sitting judges at one point. The court still repeatedly sided against his government on key decisions.
To me, as a German, I have no idea how you can have legal appointees, that are at the same time political. It's almost as if this system was designed to be able to be overturned by people wanting to overturn it. As long as you have righteous people, it's all right, but as soon as you have people like trump... It's almost you didn't learn anything from 1931 Germany and how Hitler rose to power. How he erroded the government and turned a democracy into a dictatorship.
There is a very good reason why you should separate the legislative, executive and judikative.
I thought I was mistaken on my take on the ruling.
Thank you JP for giving confirming what I was thinking. 😕
How the hell did 'he' manage to get so many influential people on side?
I can't help but think that the US is on a slippery Putinesk slope.
I just bloody hope I'm wrong about that!

That would be because the four courts/judges/DAs persecuting Trump are the very embodiment of illegal lawfare. If Trump could be persecuted for his official acts in office, so can Biden, and Obama, and the Clintons, and every other living former President and Cabinet member.
But fear not: impeachment is still the prescribed Constitutional remedy for official malfeasance. But even that is vulnerable to politics, as Hamilton, Madison, and Jay observed in "The Federalist Papers" -- "Impeachment is an inherently POLITICAL act. It cannot be any other way." The check on political malfeasance in matters of impeachment rests with the constituents of our Congress critters, for better or for worse.
It's not that he has managed to get influential people on his side. Influential people are using him as a useful idiot to bring down the institutions of the US.
Scotus has become what was once called here in Germany "Volksgerichtshof".
The political system in the US is completely rotten.
Seems appropriate, as Project 2025 is practically 'Gleichschaltung' too😰
I wonder if murder is still a crime in the USA ?
not if your the president
Will probably depend on who the victim voted for...
FFS! The rule of law is broken!
Richard Nixon should had tried this. Just an example of what's possible with this ruling.....
Biden is now immune too.
But Biden will not abuse the power even if he could technically order the arrest of Trump as a threat to the future of democracy in the US.
So nothing is stopping him to just don't accept the results of an election. He could send alternative electors, put pressure on state officials etc. With this new power he might even use the military or arrest/kill his opponents since this is an official act as the president.
Long Live the King Joe Biden
Cannon is NOT naive she knows exactly what she is doing.
“No man above law” now you should begin to see that a form of democracy is NOT a democracy! There isn’t a democratic country in the world only political systems that call themselves democracies. People must be requested to have a far greater direct say in how they want to enhance and live in a democracy.
It is ridiculous that the judges on the highest court are appointed politically. The system needs to be changed. There is no ideal way of appointing the top court. In Britain, the highest court members are voted into position by fellow Judges.
As an Australian, the more I hear about archaic US democracy, the more I am thankful of both the Westminster system and compulsory voting. As a newer democracy, we are absolutely blessed. It's still not perfect, but it's a massive improvement on what we see in the US. What a vulnerable mess.
With the voter suppression occurring in several US states the Australian compulsory voting (Brazil also) looks very attractive to remedy this.
sounds like a win for Biden to me he is the president as of right now so if the people want biden or trump we the people decide ... right ?
We might actually start hearing the dirty guts of the case now t ascertain what is official business and what isn’t.
Actually, I think despite the hysteria, it protects Biden but may not protect Frump.
Think again what happens if he becomes president.
@@arturobianco848 They've already missed several things.
1) if the 4 dissenting Judges refused to sit the SCOTUS would not have had a quorum so couldn't over-rule the previous decision. Duh. Cream of the crop.
2) Let's see the SCOTUS rule that taking bribes is a duty of the President. Can't see it, myself. Trump should have been arrested for soliciting bribes and be in jail for offending while on bail.
3) If Trump gets in, immunity's not going to make any difference. He already said he would ignore the Constitution. He doesn't operate by law.
I could Google this but I thought I'd ask because it's quite interesting. What is the procedure for the POTUS to change the make-up of the SCOTUS ? e.g adding 5 new members.
Great report 👏 Thank You
My fellow Americans........did you ever wonder what you would be doing during the rise of fascism? You're doing it right now...........Time to get to work........
Biden let's do to trump what trump would do to you if he was president now.
3 years ago this was a headline:
"Putin signs bill granting lifetime immunity to former Russian presidents" ohh, how the US have followed in the wrong footsteps.
This is how things have been for more than 200 years in the us… also the us isn’t the only country with executive immunity. Also the scope of immunity is not as broad as made out to be. The dissents own arguments wouldn’t be immune under the test setup by the majority. The dissent is a really bad strawman of said test.
Thanks JP. A dark day for democracy here in the US. I do not know the far reaching ramifications of this ruling, but I have a strong feeling we may have the largest voter turnout ever for a presidential election. We cannot be a silent witness to the attack on the democracy of our great country.
100% agree...........get every single decent American registered and out to vote
JP This is a very difficult day in America. I need to tell you nobody really understands this ruling. It's so vague it's stunning. My ex-wife has argued cases before the Pennsylvanis Supreme court, and I have been on the phone all day with at least a dozen of my friends who are all lawyers or involved in various roles within government. We can't figure this out. It seems like Biden could just arrest Trump and ship him off to Guantanamo Bay............I am almost wondering if he should..............
"A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader."
Samuel Adams
I can think of six members of the supreme court who could easily join him, they'd need replacing, obviously 😉
@@thedeadmoneyallstars 100% agree
Freaking sick to my stomach. But Biden and the Dems could really use this to their advantage in getting people to the polls.
@@LadaGaga93 I hope so. Time for all of us to step up. Time to get to work.....register every American........did you ever wonder what you would do during the rise of fascism? You're doing it right now....
Biden just had a pretty good presser in which he addressed this god awful decision. Worth a watch
People are interested in local issues.mother nature.
Biden can do whatever he likes. He would never be brought to trial even if he didn't have 'immunity'. It's good that I am not a US President because I've had just about enough of this crap. Muller should have ended this nightmare.
Will seal team 6 receive the order.
Extremely conservative = NOT conservative. Thats = to extreme. What an embarrassment. 🇺🇸 🇺🇦
Their textulists that's why they were appointed that his hardly an extreme view.

"Democratic backsliding"? I haven't read the judgment yet but compare:
The *_royal prerogative_* is a body of customary authority, privilege, and immunity recognized in common law (and sometimes in civil law jurisdictions possessing a monarchy) as belonging to the sovereign, and which have become widely vested in the government.
See also What Does *_Governmental Immunity_* Mean in Law? | LegalMatch is a useful summary.
I personally don't agree with these, particularly in foreign affairs, but:
"Duty" Doesn't cover bribery. Doesn't cover deliberate or reckless assault in violation of the law. (eg police). etc.
A Repuplic, if you can keep it.
Good for trump, Good for Biden!
SCOTUS has itself broken the law and should be held accountable.
Bye bye USA, was nice knowing you... let us bring back the USSR in America USSA 😂
BTW, it seems SCOTUS reasoned from a premise of full immunity, chipping away while still preserving a broadest possible interpretation, instead of a premise where everyone is accountable under the law, but then carving out a niche of immunity for presidential official acts that are not undertaken with criminal intent or expectation of personal benefit.
Also strange that under this ruling, one cannot question the motivation behind any official act nor use any fact arising from them.

Putin has obtained a similar ruling following recent election
Putin signed that into law some 3 years ago.
this was the headline: "Putin signs bill granting lifetime immunity to former Russian presidents"
Oh Jonathan, of all people, I would have thought you would have actually read the Majority Opinion before commenting. The liberal justice you trumpeted is having a hysterical come apart based on one person and her distain for him. The majority had to look at and make a ruling that is timeless. No where in the opinion does it say Trump was immune from prosecution. It just says, and this is my paraphrasing, that the presidents, official acts, meaning those responsibilities delegated to the president and executive branch are immune from prosecution. Sending a seal team to murder political rivals is not an official act. In fact, the US law forbids taking out the leader of another country. The whole ruling was an outline to be used by lower courts to instruct them to look at what charges against Trump were official acts and what are not official acts. Even you would agree it would not be a good idea to be able to hamstring leaders of nations to make decisions when they will always live in fear of the other party gaining control. Please stop trumpeting the far left and do what you do very well in your other endeavors, read it yourself and draw your own conclusions. I am sure you will agree exaggerating and fear mongering will eventually be counter-productive, as both the Republican and Democratic parties are now beginning to see. This is resulting in both sides moving further and further to the fringes leaving most people in the US having to make the decision of the lesser of two evils rather than the best candidate or party. In this case you are not helping by being irresponsible and using a dissenting opinion as fact without knowledge of the actual opinion, that is irresponsible.
Thank you Jonathan, sad day for democracy 😢, especially with what is happening in Europe as well. Biden is the better man and won't use this golden opportunity to have blank hawks just grab Trumpdedumpty and take him to guantanamo bay as a foreign actor 🤔
This Ruling may well be the "Dred Scott Decision" of our time and Chief Judge Roberts may share the same fate as Chief Judge Roger B. Taney and his Court in the late 1850's and early 1860's in Civil War America.
Don't forget the court that decided Plessy v. Ferguson!
Even Ceausescu couldn't imagine of having this kind of power.
Shouldn't phrase "your judges" be an oxymoron...
What bolwork of Democracy it wasn't that for decades now, and it just moved into the other camp. And its not about conservative judges they would be bad for some things but this isn't a conservative decicion this his paving the road for facisme and isn't in line with the founding priciples of the USA.
We’ve had a king once before. We had to kick him back across the pond a couple hundred years ago. We do not want another king and need to vote for the candidate who will refuse to be king. No offense to my Brit friends out there.
Another 4 years of Trumpdedumpty and people may be saying make America British again 🤣
So that would mean you plan to vote for Trump, right?
No offence taken but maybe a history lesson could be inserted at the end of your factually inaccurate account of " history".
The reason Britain didn't continue to stay and continue to educate our American sons had far more to do with the European situation than anything that Americans did.
@@dendyer694 Haha the Brits may need to back and straighten us out😉
@@SuperSpectus I don’t think Trump is the “candidate who will refuse to be king.” He’s getting his head sized for the crown as we speak.
Fricken dark day for US democracy. Frightening for us all.
Naively? Please. Cannon is doing it purposely My ulcer is back
She is definitely doing it on purpose but she has also shown herself to be naive of basic law as per many legal analyses
If there was a god, Trump would be an ex-person.
@ATPGeo this, is heart wrenching
American Politics make me Sick!!!! 🤢 Sorry JP can’t watch it.
250 years of precedence upheld.... supreme court judges choose when to retire, or stay in til they pass.... those judges, well 2 of 3, choose to retire under Trump... yet last weeks decision on Jan 6 wasnt just partisan... Bidens appointee voted against the charges 350 people are facing... as far as abortion, the US Constitution specifically lays out the role of the federal government, Taxes, immigration, military, establishing nations capitol, patents, border, protecting trade and seas.... everything else is supposed to be a state by state law... each state how the people of their state vote.. states were supposed to be a conglomerate of sovereign entities held together by a constitution, minimal federal government to protect those states and their rights... dems had 50 years to pass a law and did nothing.. the same with this other stuff, 250 years of precedence, same as Bushs illegal war, Clintons illegal war, every president has broke the law, every president since the 70s has broken the classified document law according to NARA, none have been charged or tried, well except Trump.... the whole reason this case went to the supreme court, bc hes been treated differently than every previous president
Well said. The only thing that is a danger to democracy in the US is lawfare presently being used by the Democrats. Biden's television appearance firmly confirms that the Democrats are totally involved in the use of lawfare as he plainly stated that he wanted President Trump to be tried before the election day by his Dept of Justice (DOJ) rather than let the American voters decide. Its rich and a lot of hypocrisy to say the Supreme Court is trying to make Trump a king, when the truth be told, Biden has executed more Executive Orders than the last 4 Presidents combined. Talk about trying to be a king he should go look into a mirror as the "king has no cloths" as evident by his statements
Yeah... it's not like states would make laws that breach the constitution, like banning free speech or diminish women's reproductive rights... no wait, that's not.. er.. DOH!
I had to laugh when you read out about all former presidents,, after this America will be lucky to have another president,,
I take it independence day is canceled?
They sent it back to lower court to decide if it falls under presidential immunity!
Yeah, except now chump's conversations & records, and those conversations & records of those he talked to, are not able to be used as evidence to show he was acting outside of official acts.
Presidents are now Kings.
Just to be clear the US is **NOT** a democracy it is a constitutional republic. This is actually a rather important distinction and while it may seem semantic its a foundational concept. This decision is hardly surprising at all and anyone who actually understands the constitution and takes a textual approach to its interpretation would have seen this coming from lightyears away. The separation of power and even more so the balancing and checking of ambitions was of utmost importance to the founders. There needed to be some separation between the executive and judicial to keep the judicial apolitical in the sense of separating it from political fighting over the executive. The solution was to grant the executive branch sweeping immunity from the judicial branches powers and to give the executive the pardon power. The counter balance to this was given to the legislative instead. Trump can be impeached and convicted by the legislative branch. That is where the counterbalance lies not with the courts. I don't know if you've read through the full decision rather then just the dissents but I think you should. The concept of no man above the law isn't actually a thing in the constitution rather that all citizens are equally granted right and treated under the law. The government itself and its officers/branches are treated differently then the common man.
Just to be clear this covers Biden and Obama too both have done things that they would have been tried for if not for this decision.
www.aclu.org/video/aclu-ccr-lawsuit-american-boy-killed-us-drone-strike - Obama relevant
pbs.twimg.com/media/GRcTtkeXsAEA2Mp?format=jpg&name=large - The actual test
You will not find a court who will actually find the things Sotomayor listed to fall under the constitutionally official conduct. Ontop of that the congress will in a heartbeat impeach and convict him for those things she listed.
"Ambition must be made to counteract ambition. The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place. It may be a reflection on human nature, that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place, oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions."
Very good thoughts to which I entirely agree with.
TH-cam will delete this comment because it has external urls. It is both a democracy and a constitutional Republic. I did a whole section on this.
Would have been tried for if not for this decision? That doesn't really make any sense considering they haven't been tried for them.
"Trump can be impeached and convicted by the legislative branch. That is where the counterbalance lies not with the courts".
That is flawed. An outgoing President can escape impeachment due to lack of remaining available time. If Congress is predominantly of the President's party, the voting is skewed politically rather than legally, and the matter is legal.
When impeachment was brought against Trump, a significant number of his party gave "he is leaving anyway" as the reason to not support impeachment.
Yes, US scores very lowly in world tables for democracy, 30th and 39th I believe in two studies. It looks like it will cross from "flawed democracy rating" to joining the autocracies in the course of time.
Agreed, this is a good summary.
Ermächtigungsgesetz....Ermächtigungsgesetz.....Ermächtigungsgesetz....Ermächtigungsgesetz !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolute power is still insignificant to mother nature.just kind of how it is can't get around it 🙁
no problem Bidien should just have Trump arrested and throw the key away also arrest the 6 judges all as traitors.done
Where can we sign the condoleances: RIP American democracy
The USSC just protected Joe Biden. He's the guy who should've been worrying.
US judges have absolute immunity, police have qualified immunity….This is not a shocking decision.
Judges do not enjoy absolute immunity.
Judges in the US usually have immunity from civil lawsuits for their judicial acts, known as judicial immunity. This immunity is meant to shield judges from personal responsibility for their decisions made in an official capacity. Nonetheless, there are exceptions to this immunity, like instances of actions taken outside their official role or actions deemed corrupt or illegal.
Qualified immunity is a legal principle in the US that safeguards government officials, such as police officers, from being individually accountable for civil damages in lawsuits brought against them for actions performed while on duty. This principle protects officials from liability unless their actions breached clearly established constitutional rights that a reasonable person would have been aware of.
Only the US president holds Absolute Immunity for official actions, even if they are criminal or corrupt, as long as they fall within their official capacity.
Regardless of political affiliation, this is a perilous precedent.
The first is established by statute, and the second by another string of legally tenuous Supreme Court decisions. Although the Constitution gives members of Congress absolute immunity under the speech and debate clause, nowhere does it even mention anything even approaching Presidential immunity. Must have just been an oversight, right? No, the Court is just making stuff up to protect their guy.
The first is provided by statute, while the second is a product of another line of dubious Supreme Court rulings that have no basis under the Constitution. Same with Presidential immunity. The Court is creating law out of whole cloth just to protect their guy.
ATP Would Nixon have got away with watergate with this law
with the new interpenetration he is now immune in retrospect,,
I hope i misunderstood that immunity ruling or democracy is dead in america
Never have the corruption been so blatant.
JP,, the next election is not for president, its for King,,
Can we hope that Biden makes Trump " disappeare"!?
Russia, 1993.
That’s how things work over here JP. Law of the land in USA. Respect opinions, but that’s all they become, opinions. So is your yours, an opinion. You should focus more on your own backyard. You are not an economist expert, not a military expert, not a geopolitical expert. Just another opinionist. Among many. Not a bot.
People vote, you may disagree.
Did you vote for the scotus? Did the majority vote for those justices?
Your comment does nothing to show that the descending opinions were wrong.
JP, you should know how the law works over here. Decenting opinions are just that, disagreeing with the MAJORITY opinion, which becomes law. Not sure of your argument
JP, not sure if you are talking me all wrong. I will reiterate:
1) I am 100% for Ukraine, and 100% against Russia.
2) I have never voted for trump
3) Joe is senile and trump is crazy, and not much else of a choice here
In general I am in support of what you say/publish.
But then you go all out on opinion and observations. Fair game for other opinions and disagreeing. I have an opinion too, as we all you do. But that is all it is, an opinion, not the fact. Just like you I am critical too.
Your lane in many cases is just your opinion.. Except in 1 and 2 in my opinion. Respect that. But when you criticize for opinionating/critizing you for opinionating with our own opinions, you should take note and listen instead, not that you’re not.
Stick to your lane, you are good at that. The moment you go off in rants, you are all off the rails.
Glad to hear you are focusing on the UK next. God knows they need help in making the right choices there.
Democracy is a “bitch”. Keep your eye on the ball, and as I previously told you, don’t loose sight of the leaves, trees, and forests.
Groetjes
@@JohndeVries-wt1kn I agree the were decent opinions...
@@JohndeVries-wt1kn my opinion on the scotus ruling is that of the majority of people in the US, particularly if you asked them whether this should have been a ruling for a generic president. It switches for Republicans surveyed when you swap the word president for Trump.
The point is that virtually no analysts outside of the fox News Republican maga world agreed that this was a sensible ruling. If you read the dissenting opinions, it is seriously legally problematic.
The President has the power of appointments, but the real power over the courts rests with the U.S. House of Representatives, under Article III, Sec. 1 of our U.S. Constitution. Specifically, the House holds considerable power over lesser courts, such as the ones persecuting Trump, up to and including de-funding the courts and proscribing their jurisdiction in situations of judicial or District Attorney overreach. This is the Constitution's primary check-and-balance mechanism holding courts accountable to the rule of law. And that is a set of functions I believe the House MUST exercise, because the four cases against Trump this year are ridiculous excesses: lawfare and rogue judges and DAs at their worst, in effect turning our cherished American court system into a thing that's appallingly reminiscent of Stalin's court system under his KGB director, Lavrentiy Beria, who infamously asserted: "Show me the man; I'll show you the crime."
Simply put: these four courts (Atlanta, DC, and NYC) MUST be reined in by Congress. This subversion of the rule of law in our courts is as grave a threat to the foundation of our American Republic as the rampant mail-in ballot fraud in our 2020 election.
And it's noteworthy that Snopes just last week FINALLY admitted that Trump did NOT "call for the overthrow of the USA" at his Capitol rally speech. He said repeatedly: PEACEFULLY AND PATRIOTICALLY make your concerns heard -- language straight out of the 1st Amendment to our U.S. Constitution as a fundamental right, to "peacefully petition the government for redress of grievances."
By contrast, it's DEMOCRATS who conducted the rebellion: via massive mail-in ballot fraud in the midst of the COVID fear campaign, along with all the usual shady tactics used by Democrats in the usual suspect cities. What Democrats, these corrupt Soros-funded judges and DAs and their hack allies in the media are doing is the EXACT THING they falsely accuse Trump of doing! It's sickening!
You have done nothing to show that they are ridiculous excesses. I can't believe anyone in their right mind would believe it's okay to keep secret government documents in their bathroom.
And your claims here are verging on conspiracy thinking
@@ATPGeo Would you believe its okay to keep secret government documents in your garage? Or how about in your former office? Both locations are where such documents have been found for Biden.
Oh my lord. The world has just taken a turn for the worst. I can't believe what you just read to me. How can government get so corrupt so quickly. Was something done illegally, or did that just happen before my eyes? Lord Jesus Christ pray for us.
I do not agree. I find it very important that a president can decide freely and not being impacted by a sometimes politically guided judiciary. As it happened in the past. In addition, it is also good to have a conservative counterpart to the rather leftist mindset in the society. I think you should refrain from words like "insane" etc. when it comes to a decision of the Supreme Court. Not respecting democratic institutions is very dangerous. Please get yourself togehter and try to be more objective. Thank you.
As much as I like your war analysis, the comments you made about US politics is well short of the mark. Very naive. And it also shows you know very little about the cases against Trump.
These fly-by comments are worthless without substantiation.
The moon is made of cheese.
Anyone can make mere assertions.
@@ATPGeo chump's spray tan is made from ground up ginger pubes, fact.
I disagree and JP has made so many points as to why it's not a good idea. You have zero. Very lame
Actually these comments are both relevant and correct...
@@ATPGeo He can be impeached by congress. That is the check on his powers
Although you make very good Ukraine presentations, your thoughts and opinion on the Supreme Court ruling regarding immunity are just absurd and really quite ignorant. The example you gave that Trump can order an assassination of a opposition leader and this would be legal as it would be a "official" act is just plain foolishness at best and really quite ignorant. This would not be considered an official act and implying that it would be is squarely a thought from "never never land". In actuality, this protects all Presidents against frivolous and political retributions as this ruling actually protects Biden from lawsuits arising from liability from letting illegal immigrants into the country, liabilities arising from illegal immigrants having murdered US citizens, ordering the bombing of a food center in Afghanistan killing 8 innocent inhabitants, and on and on. Chief Justice John Roberts explicitly and clearly stated that the president "is not above the law" and immunity is only a factor when it involves an "official act". An official act is an action that is prescribed by law. US law does not prescribe that you can kill your political opponent as you evidently believe or some such other James Bond fiction.
I would like you to substantially disprove what the dissenting opinions stated.
so wait you are saying that ordering an assination is not legal, yet trump ordering americans to go riot which got a police officer killed is completely legal - which this ruling was all about. Whether trump was culpable for january 6th and this ruling has made him immune.
Your logic makes no sense to me Bill.
the problemm is it has come out of trump's mouth that he would do exactly that to get rid of political opposition, now he has the immunmity to do so if he gets elected as president again.
@@tomfurmby88 First off, President Trump did not order people to riot. Read the transcripts of his speech as he states "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." There nothing about go and riot. Second, the police officer was not killed by rioters. The police officer Brian Sicknick, died after suffering two strokes the day after he responded to an attack on the U.S. Capitol. You need to get your facts straight as your thoughts are based on incorrect information.
@@mickymouse-yi5yo What has come of Trump's mouth??? Can you be specific???
Seriously JP, suggesting that Trump could order the assassination of Joe Biden and claim immunity is just absurd. Some of the things you say are so un-hinged. You are at your best when you stick to facts about Ukraine rather than providing us with your left wing rants/opinion.
This isn't a left wing rant. This is literally what everyone is talking about please substantiate your justification that he would be completely unable to do this. I literally read you the dissenting opinion of two of the supreme court justices.
Please provide receipts. Mere assertions are not good enough.
Seriously, also listen to every legal analysis talking about this now.
trump wouldn't hesitate to order any thing he wants,,, Biden will have to consider his options before america is lost,,
@@ATPGeo whos ''everyone''? The mirror versions of Alex Jones lookalike idiot propagandists from the Democratic party, who follow and share the bat-shit crazy compiracy theories everything happening in the world no matter how minor is Russian Psyops?
You are turning into a leftist mouth piece. Not what you want, I think. Stay in your lane. You have 43k followers because of 1 and 2, not because your “excellent” geographical political opinion. Maybe you should opinionate more on UK political opinions. Are you surprised by all of this?
