So there is perhaps a better chance that in a year from now Kristi Noem is president than there is that Biden is president.Quote:

The SCOTUS case isn't quite as laughable as you're making it out to be. It's about immunity as part of official actions. And a President obviously needs immunity for quite a few of the things he/she does. Trump is quite unlikely to win a judgment that his actions on/around 1/6 qualify for immunity, but the Court will make a ruling on what constitutes official duty that qualifies for immunity for a President, and then it will get sent down to the trial court (the trial court is the trier of fact) to determine Trump's conduct and whether it qualifies for immunity (it won't).
That is a very informative and concise explanation. Thank you.Quote:

Just a quick tip for anyone thinking about running for nationwide office, tell your ghost writer to leave out the story about shooting your puppy.Quote:

Why that was included is at the best questionable. My dad grew up on a farm so I understand things work differently there but geezus. She even double downed on it which is just yikes.Quote:
