The Presidency of Donald J. Trump, Episode XIV: T-minus 97 Hours

I can’t help myself. The metal detectors at the House are probably unconstitutional.

(Congresspeople) shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same;

Joy Reid’s a bit late to this realization. This was obvious back when Trump was elected.

I told my wife on nov 4th 2016 they’ll use him to get what they want then wash their hands of him right at the end. We’re in the hand washing stage.

The rest of us should make sure the stink of Trumps shit sticks to all these Republicans.

But their property can be seized.

Where do you get that kind of stuff from? This is what congress itself annotates that articles with:

(https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S6-C1-1-2/ALDE_00001047/#ALDF_00000447)

This clause is practically obsolete. It applies only to arrests in civil suits, which were still common in this country at the time the Constitution was adopted.1 It does not apply to service of process in either civil2 or criminal cases.3 Nor does it apply to arrest in any criminal case. The phrase treason, felony or breach of the peace is interpreted to withdraw all criminal offenses from the operation of the privilege.4`

I mean, I’m just a foreigner with a strange obsession with US politics, so who am I to say? But it sure doesn’t sound like it applies here.

I started writing a response, but the stupidity of my point has overtaken my liberal law nittery.

Is this photo way out of focus or do I need to get my lens prescription updated again?

OMG, this is too funny:

People are selling phones with Parler already installed at gigantic fucking markups on ebay. Meanwhile, the fucking app doesn’t work because Parler is off of AWS. Just lol. The grift continues.

Someone on here should buy like a shit-ton of Iphone 7’s at like $20 a pop or whatever they’re going for now, jailbreak them, sideload parler, and fucking resell them for $500 each.
