    Trump demands immunity for 'events that cross the line' hours after 'bloodbath' comments

    Hours after he set off a firestorm when he insisted during an Ohio rally there would be a "bloodbath" if he is not re-elected, Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to post an all-caps rant demanding complete presidential immunity once again.

    The issue of immunity for his actions before, during and after his single term in office now rests in the hands of the Supreme Court, and late Saturday night the embattled former president made another plea directed at the justices while also insisting that sometimes presidents have to "cross the line."

    In his all-cap screed, he began, "A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES MUST HAVE FULL IMMUNITY, WITHOUT WHICH IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM/HER TO PROPERLY FUNCTION. ANY MISTAKE, EVEN IF WELL INTENDED, WOULD BE MET WITH ALMOST CERTAIN INDICTMENT BY THE OPPOSING PARTY AT TERM END. EVEN EVENTS THAT 'CROSS THE LINE' MUST FALL UNDER TOTAL IMMUNITY, OR IT WILL BE YEARS OF TRAUMA TRYING TO DETERMINE GOOD FROM BAD. THERE MUST BE CERTAINTY."

    He then added, "EXAMPLE: YOU CAN’T STOP POLICE FROM DOING THE JOB OF STRONG & EFFECTIVE CRIME PREVENTION BECAUSE YOU WANT TO GUARD AGAINST THE OCCASIONAL 'ROGUE COP' OR 'BAD APPLE.' SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH 'GREAT BUT SLIGHTLY IMPERFECT.' ALL PRESIDENTS MUST HAVE COMPLETE & TOTAL PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY, OR THE AUTHORITY & DECISIVENESS OF A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WILL BE STRIPPED & GONE FOREVER."

    Aiming his final comment at the court, he ended, "HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE AN EASY DECISION. GOD BLESS THE SUPREME COURT!"

    it's 'two scoops' nonsense. Media needs to grab onto real stories not out of context BS. We know he was referring to "inmates" in his "not people" comment (albeit w/immigrants being full of cons to-be implications) and the "bloodbath" was a reference to jobs if he lost. This kind of shit is why he gets reelected.

  5. I saw the segment on video. I know what you're saying, but I still think it was a double entendre.

    Topping out at Vice President of the United States isn’t exactly a low place to retire at. He will actually be remembered fairly well in annals of American History for upholding the duties of his office on January 6th. I actually think it is one of the high marks of any vice president.

    Yes, polling seems very sticky right now. Albeit very whacky at the same time. Lots of head scratching stuff showing up with Trump leading 18-29 year olds in some states and Biden leading +65. In truth Trump’s ~1.8 lead is really like +2.5 adjusting for electoral college bias. Not much but very sticky.

    I really think we are in a whole new electorate or the polls are completely shot. It’s hard to tell in real time when there are major shifts showing up that have no comparison in the last 60 years.

    What I will say is I think team Biden relying on the polling to make “democracy” a central message feels like a major mistake. This is an issue that keeps showing up polls but doesn’t seem to have an identifiable cohort to match it to.

    We will see but either the polling is muddy or the electorate are in a silent majority mode and it’s hard to tell which side that majority is on.

    Agreed, Pence has POS beliefs but a VP is just John Q public for most of his term and he stepped up when it mattered and carried his duties under duress, not unlike those that preceded him w/o duress.

    Anonymous British businessman bets $5 million on Trump victory

    The Sun reports that the individual in question is an unnamed British former-banker, based overseas. He is said to have placed the bet with a private bookmaker in Curacao in the Caribbean, with a friend telling the news outlet that he made the decision after consulting with ‘Trump camp insiders’.
