Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yes, the supreme court ruled that any "official act" of the president is legal, so unless the supreme court wants to either

  1. Undo that ruling, or
  2. Rule that this isn't an official act,

Then Trump is 100% in the clear.

And even if the Supreme Court does rule it to be illegal, the only way to remove him is through impeachment.

That ain't gonna happen.

And if it miraculously did happen, then J.D. Vance would pardon him and continue the grift, just in a little bit less obvious way.

I think the ruling could deem it not an official act if the intent was to insider trade as facilitating inside trading isn't an official duty. But you'd need proof that was the intention.
