“For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” Roberts said in a statement on Trump’s demand.
Yeah, and for more than two centuries, our Presidents didn't have the Supreme Court anointing them as all-but a king immune from prosecution, but here we are.
- Hey if this escalates maybe they'll impeach each other.
  
  The solution is clearly to lock them in a room with a single knife in the center. Only one may exit.
  
  If it escalates they'll take a request for review of their earlier king making decision and hold it as misinterpreted which they can 100% do and that would remove criminal immunity for charges prior to the ruling.
- And for two centuries, it was universally agreed that presidents were subject to the rule of law and were not elected absolute monarchs. And which cunt was Chief Justice when that changed?
- Can we just fucking get a ruling that ignoring court orders is not a "Presidential act"? This is a person, trying to escape accountability.
  
  He's spent 80 years escaping accountability. What will a few more hurt?

Good thing you just ruled that the president has broad immunity for official acts as president, ya know basically making him a king in all but name.
- Well, there's no way anyone could have known that Trump would abuse that power.
  Other than the past decade of him abusing every little bit of power he could, of course.
  
  Trump seems like a reasonable guy, im sure he would never abuse that power.
- Really wish Biden had taken advantage of that and, you know, saved our democracy.
  
  Biden was never that person. He was always a risk-averse institutionalist non-boat-rocker. Even Obama was more decisive.

Well .... trump SHOULD be impeached. Ignoring the law should be an absolute nono.
- The Senate is trying to pass laws to make dissenting opinions seen as a mental illness. You really think they have enough votes for impeachment? lol
  
  That's the Minnesota state senate.
  
  It's not my sanity that's gone missing...., so No, I have no such illusions / hopes

Hey Roberts - go fuck yourself.

“He didn’t WIN the popular VOTE (by a lot!), he didn’t WIN ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, he didn’t WIN 2,750 to 525 Counties,” Trump wrote, referring to his own accomplishments of those benchmarks in the 2024 election. “HE DIDN’T WIN ANYTHING!”
Oh for fucks sake, just shut the fuck up already. This is all you're going to say each time you feel wronged. It's not a mandate you stupid fuck and you lost the popular vote twice.
“WE DON’T WANT VICIOUS, VIOLENT, AND DEMENTED CRIMINALS, MANY OF THEM DERANGED MURDERERS, IN OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
And the irony is lost on you.
- It is all projection.
- He did win the popular vote this time. Not by much. He absolutely does not have a mandate.
  Popular vote 77,302,580[2] 75,017,613[2]

Oh no a rebuke? My pearls!

A bit of buyer's remorse from Roberts haha
- Perhaps it's starting to dawn on him that his power as a judge is under threat.
  
  Leopards would never eat a judge’s face.
- On both sides, seems like. Trump regrets Roberts, Roberts regrets Trump.

Roberts thought he could collect money from the glory-hole of fascism and corruption and never get any cum on his face. Now he finds out he's just another ho down on his knees for Trump and Musk. Watch Trump have the Supreme Court arrested.
- odd choice of metaphor
- Watch Trump have the Supreme Court arrested.
  He won't have to. A little bluster and Roberts will bend the knee and kiss the ring.

You know, this is interesting.
Trump has power, but it's granted to him by authority of Congress. He has legal immunity for official acts as president, by authority of the supreme Court.
The theory of the balance of power means that Congress can strip him of that authority, and the supreme Court can determine if an act is official or not or if he actually has immunity or not.
The way this works is based on money and sanctions (imprisonment, revocation of clearances, etc).
The court can deputize anyone. Ultimately, what that means, is that as long as the court wishes to retain its power, it needs to enforce decisions.
If the Supreme Court, namely Roberts, actually has his own interests in mind, the court can act accordingly. Otherwise, it's just theater.
We will now find out if the court still wishes to maintain its power, or if it has none at all.

Time to reap your whirlwind, you som of a bitch

You're so fuckin far out of your element, Johnny

Leopard eating faces all over the place.
- Can I interest you in my new investment venture? It's essentially Kitty Ozempic. We're predicting the market for it to grow by 8000% over 4 years because of all the fat leopards.

I dunno what to tell you, man. You reap what you sow.
- Sadly, for the most part, the rest of us reap what he sowed. He’ll be fine.
- That only happens when people make it happen. Karma's a myth.

I'm sure Trump cares deeply.

When even the chief clown of the institution that gave you even more power thinks you're going too far, it might be too far.
