#SupremeCourt #Trump #JackSmith
Democratic socialist party is to blame for all this
The prevalence of ignoramuses in the world is even greater than I imagined.
Dems working hard to make the US looks like Russia. Let the people decide at the booth.
O
They’re so worried they might have to face him in the election. 😂😂
Hate Trump, hate this broadcast even more.
Ok, well, not more, but as much.
The war showed NBC NEWS &CNN true color.
Whatever fits the donors agenda!
Its amateur hour for this special council
So there are guard rails on Democracy? I think not, This means the POTUS can do as he wants. *Trump can just coast through as a Dictator, it seems there is a Flaw with the Gaurd Rails, and this Slimmy POS knows it.
What kinda meet the press is this one?? 🤢 who in their right mind would want that orange hypocrite in the Oval Office and not prison where he belongs? 🙄
There’s no facts or no case -no conviction -no court case- there was no criminal intent of a planned insurrection- the question is who’s the (malicious person) that decided to call this an insurrection?
We seen what caused the (riot) you got innocent people in jail and you convicted people for basically no reason
The Constitution of the United States -says there will be (no dictatorships) in the land of the freedom
Under the Constitution no judge or any Court will tell any United States citizen how to vote or who to vote for or take privileges away of voting from who they may- nor can we dictate who runs for president -it is against the Constitution of the United States of America to file a case challenging the American people when no one’s had their day in court and no crime or conviction to hold any reason to ban any person from running for president of the United States of America!
Furthermore it is against the Constitution to try a person out of the blue – with no due process of court)( just someone’s Big Mouth saying he’s guilty) and say he’s guilty and he cannot run for president of the United States
Then it didn’t work…. cuz it’s happening right now….
This clown broke the law over and over and is given immunity. Since when one man is above the law? Our justice system has turned into a circus show.
We’ve gotta fight for our country. How is that election interference 😂
Panel was awesome today! 🗽
If Trump is so sure that he did nothing wrong. If his base is so sure that their leader is innocent. Why are they so afraid of this trial?😂😂😂
Trump easily got Mexico to enforce its borders by threatening sanctions on goods crossing our border. Biden clearly doesn’t care. I despise Trump. But I will never vote Democrat again.
NOW YOU HIPPOCRATE TAKING OVER THE ELECTION THAT TAKING OVER 3 WEEKS TO COMPLETE.
What makes we think about many things, can you have water if you don’t want to pay for water? Can you have Christmas tree, if you don’t want to buy Christmas tree
😮 OK so the insurrection in progress On the border of Mexico Joe Biden Is immune to this because he’s already President.😂Because he is allowing This invasion to continue in the border Of Mexico… Can someone explain 🥱
😂 You know you keep saying that Trump Impeached but he wasn’t he was acquitted of an impeachment. Trump finished out his term he was not impeached he was acquitted 😂 why don’t you mention that when you say that.
Trump 2024 🇺🇸
A democratic council meeting? How many presidents have asked for a democratic council meeting? Of Democratic nations? So we could find something to vote on? Lets ask America and all of the world too; who has a better looking mug shot? Biden or Trump?
What has the USA become a terrorist president he is feeding money to Iran and cartar while we have homeless Americans and then he opens the f. I ng border
Team White House Dead?
Should I call the prisons warden? “Get the cake ready”?
Ya that is awesome see talk to Cartar when they was part of nov7
Take it all the way.
I will never be President of America.
Who would have believe that hitler’s jews would go to another country and act like this??? (Everyone)!! Please remember people, THEIR IS ONLY ONE KLAN IN THE US! We only get the president or the dictator the KLAN wants us to have??? George Washington is turning over in his grave as he watches democracy end over a LIE!! SAD!! Its taking us millions of years, but we are working our way back to being earthworms… CONSCIOUSNESS is too valuable to keep throwing it away!! 1619
THe court is not allowed (or should not be) to consider politics. Their ONLY function is to enforce the law. They are not (if they are a neutral law enforcement mechanism as they were meant to be) allowed to weigh political issues and forestall justice in favor of political motivations of an individual who has clearly committed crimes.
So following the normal process was the right choice. To expedite would be to politicize the case just because it’s Trump. Do you really not see the hypocrisy?
name the crime.
pale communist you aren’t in China anymore.
When world war three breaks out; Australia is a hotspot. Why ? Because its a sub continent which has neen repurposed for a Prison. So yeah, I see the logicin building a massieoris city complex for the BOOM illegal immigrants. BOOM you lived through it! You should be proud of yourselves. This isnt even as dangerous as a video game.
Noting overtly criminal??!!! Are you insane?!! He BRIBED THEM with promises and lies, to get them to derelict their duty!! Nothing overtly criminal??! I guess he DOES have to walk out in the middle of Times Square and murder someone for ya’ll to say he did anything wrong. My god.
❤ the Lord deliver trump out of the Lions den
Took a full breath for the first time?
Realized you have energetic limitations? Nah, v.r. makes me perfect, an immortal.
Please explain to me and the rest of the world, that if you can’t get a banana past the border into Gaza without being inspected, how in the he** did Hamas get TUNNELING MACHINES into Gaza to dig massive underground tunnels that Israel alleges they have built?!! HOW?!
This is the country which recently repealed Roe vs Wade. My mental health deficits are small in comparison. Do I incite violence? The cops incite fear. Should I stop talking about the cops because I chose not to be one? Am I simply unintelligent? Have you ever shot someone? Have I? Don’t read my posts; Im not a real person. This is just a robotics program. Designed to separate the weak from the strong. But if you hang on for too long ; your body breaks and your mind fails because of it.
Also; because you think the ISS is nifty.
Yoda from Star Wars is a Bald Ewok.
A balding Ewok? Just Bald.

Someone you know very well is obviously a graduate of the University of Social Media, Gullibility, and Conspiracy Theories.
I’ve always thought about Star Wars as a paid program for various rebel alliajces. Alliances, plural, what an odd sounding word. Alliances. Also, Beam Me Up.

Olympus has Fallen? Gamer?
What interesting titles? The White House has fallen too? Wow, quite a movie. Let me put some thought into it, just give me a second. Yeah, I’ve got.

Pretty much duh,it was obvious the whole time. Power to the exponential quotient of pie. Pi, spelled pie here for ignorance reasons
Okay algorithms are multiple equations combined. Trigonometry is three equations combined. Try it. Try harder. Try three not two. Just try the tri part. Its gets easier. I swear.
Poop. The answer is poop.
I take the same medication as Hunter.
If you put theee algorithms together you get one algorithm unless you divide. If you leave the three algorithms together you get about one third of the answer. If four algorithms are combined you get about one quarter answer.
Its a simple as cooking.
Crack
[3] No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, [1] having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, [2] shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. [4] BUT CONGRESS MAY BY A VOTE OF TWO-THIRDS OF EACH HOUSE, REMOVE SUCH DISABILITY.
First, the jurisdictional element, [1], specifies which positions are subject to Section 3: a “person . . . who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States.”
Second, the offense element, [2], defines the conduct prohibited by Section 3. It regulates the conduct of a person satisfying the jurisdictional element who “shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same [the United States], or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
Third, the disqualification element, [3], defines the legal consequences or punishment that Section 3 provides. A person who satisfies the jurisdictional and offense elements of Section 3 shall not be “a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state.” The phrase “office . . . under the United States” in the disqualification element is distinguishable from the phrase “officer of the united States” in the jurisdictional element.
FOURTH, the amnesty element, [4], allows Congress to terminate the disqualification or disability: “Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”
This article does not focus on the offense element [2] and the amnesty element [4]. Rather, to determine whether former-President Trump was disqualified pursuant to Section 3, we will focus on the jurisdictional element [1] and the disqualification element [3].
Section 3’s jurisdictional element applies to exactly four defined categories of state and federal positions. President Trump clearly does not fit into three of these categories. Trump never swore an oath as a “member of Congress,” “a member of any state legislature,” or an “executive or judicial officer of any state.” Indeed, Trump was the only President in American history to have never held prior state or federal, civilian or military, public office. Therefore, the only way for Section 3’s jurisdictional element to cover President Trump would be if he falls into the fourth category: he took an oath to support the Constitution as an “officer of the United States.” Trump only swore one constitutional oath: as President of the United States. In short, for President Trump to be subject to Section 3 disqualification, he must have violated the offense element and fit within the jurisdictional element. And in order to fit within the jurisdictional element, the President must be an “officer of the United States” for purposes of Section 3.
The House’s impeachment article, however, did not address this threshold issue. It stated:
[S]ection 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution prohibits any person who has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the United States from “hold[ing] any office . . . under the United States.”
In fact, Section 3 does not apply to “any person” or even “any person” who committed the conduct provided for in the offense element. Here, the House seemed to assume that the phrase “officer of the United States” was equivalent to the phrase “any person.” Perhaps the House assumed that a President is an “officer of the United States.” Still, the House’s position was not entirely clear.
After the Senate trial, Trump was not convicted. Therefore, he could not be disqualified from holding future office pursuant to the Impeachment Disqualification Clause. But even after Trump’s acquittal, efforts to disqualify the former President based on Section 3 continue. For example, there is a pending concurrent resolution that would find “President Donald J. Trump ‘as an officer of the United States . . . engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the [United States], or g[ave] aid or comfort to the enemies thereof,’ making him ineligible for future office . . . .” This resolution assumed that the President is an “officer of the United States.”
We disagree. There is some good reason to think the President is not an “officer of the United States.” President Trump, who swore only one constitutional oath, does not fall within Section 3’s jurisdictional element. Therefore, he cannot be disqualified pursuant to this provision.
Absolutely no way those amount of numbers can change over night cmon
The federal government is allowing millions of migrants to enter the country ILLEGALLY and NBC thinks it’s Texas’ responsibility to house and care for all these migrants by itself…and thinks the democrat states supporting open borders shouldn’t share the burden. Propaganda and hypocrisy level 100%
He has the same Qualified Immunity that any and all police get..
The Houston mayor as an example of what Texans think?!?!? 🖕🖕🖕🖕
*Is the Houston Mayor an example of…?
The Attorney General should be replaced with a fire breathing pit bull with nine inch fangs. The rip Chris Wray & MAGA Cult FBI agents a gaping new one. Merrick Garland dragged his feet & Chris Wray is MAGA but quiet about it
I know something else that would stop him… Put his a@@ in prison where he belongs!! Life-long liars & criminals belong with the rest of them and the three oldest brats too! They have all been handed a rich life and don’t deserve anything but prison.
This is an indirect ruling in favor of Trump. It pushes their later ruling well into late next year if not the next presidency after the lower courts hear the case and the appeals process.
What was the vote trump loverin judge
THE JUDGES ARE SCARE AND SO THE COURT SYSTEM IS BROKEN , THE PEOPLE SHOULD VOTE FOR WHO SHOULD BE ELECTED TO BE IN THE SUPREME COURT NOT THE TWO PARTIES BECAUSE THAT WHO THEY REALLY WORKING LOOK WHO JUDGE CANNON WORKING FOR????? COURT SYSTEM NEED A REBOOT!!
There are still justice in this county ❤❤❤
*There’s still justice
Democrats are destroying America right before our eyes.
Every justice should be removed from the bench and charged for treason. They DO NOT represent this country nor us citizens.
Our reputation is already weak in the eyes of other countries, and this will further show how divided we are as a nation. This is worse than Nixon. Plan to be in war with several countries in the next four years, many deaths, and worse than the greatest depression ever.
Project 2025 is on it’s way and our freedom is gone.
Joe has proven to me what genocide is I do not pay my taxes for you to open our borders to let people in who wants to harm me
I believe it’s about what’s right !
Svante is an awful public speaker.
Mayor of Houston: *FARther away
Susan, USA reporter: BIDEN. NOT “BRIDEN.”
Monica Alba: *send their condolences FOR
CUT OUT THE YEAHS
Mayor: *There’s enough blame to go around FOR everyone.
😂 AMERICA DON’T HAVE a DEMOCRACY😂
😂 AMERICA DON’T HAVE LAWS 😂
The bottom line is we the people want Trump. The court messing with the people’s choice is election interference. Trump 2024 and he is going to clean house and that is what frighten them.
We reject the rejects (democrats) such a horrible president and administration in office now along with the democrats msm that protects the democrats which included 44
We call Greg Abbott Governor stupid because he is.
The Supreme Court is pushing us against the importance of rule of law. Meaning the president IS ABOVE the rule of law
It is very unfortunate that our country’s media is slanted to one-side only – the Democrats. Think about that – do we live in a dictatorship ?
To the people who believe this bs, you will be held into account for your narcissistic ignorance.
Israel is doing to HAMAS what Biden eventually be forced to do against MAGA-NUT’S if Trump keeps using them for ”Domestic Terrorism” huh?
Reminds me of “The Perils of Penelope Pitstop.”
These people have become extremely dishonest during their obsession to hate a man.
Biden stole the election. He knows, I know ,you know democrats know and the whole world knows‼️
how come the downloaded file for this show is about 1/3 the usual average size..even though about same play-length?
Have to ask all the trump supporters if they ever wonder why trump continues to fight so hard not to clear his name if he is so innocent on all the charges stop fighting the trials and prove it to all of us that he did nothing wrong. While he is at it he can show us all the proof he has that he won the 2020 election, to this day none of them have shown us that proof.
Propaganda
No resolution…??…unless he is cleared ..he shouldn’t be the nominee
Supreme Court, should look at that Trump took “oath” to protect democracy etc. Jan 6 was not only the 14th Amendment or questions of the word “officer”. Taking an oath should override that he didn’t do his job.
All of this is to block a politic opponent.
It’s just a disgrace. And mainstream media like you is complicit to this treat of the democracy.
Shame on you ⚖️🤮
Hey liberals, you do know if you guys had not indicted Trump and left things alone, Joe Biden wiuld be cruising to reelection, right?
Thats where you Fk’d up. You guys have gone and made ole Donnie a martyr. I’m afraid there’s no turning back now.
BS NEWS!!!
And WHO TF ARE “THESE PEOPLE,” EXACTLY!?! He CAN’T BE TALKING ABOUT NOBODY BUT BLACK PEOPLE. He’s not talking about IMMIGRANTS. It CANNOT BE ANY MORE OBVIOUS. PAY ATTENTION AND STOP F**KING AROUND!!
Supreme court judges are nothing but Trump’s wipes.
Trumps innocent the Democrats have completely lost their minds
Ok, I would suggest that the Biden Administration take control of the government after the election if it goes to Trump. The Supreme Court would have to rule regarding the issue, or allow Biden to remain in power with a full immunity ruling.
If they give Trump immunity, they give Biden immunity.
Democrats needed just continue what trump was doing at borders,
Democrats created chaos, and acting like dealing with immigrants problem ,
Stupid ! Or it is planted to destroy AMERICA.
The Supreme Court denied to take this up. So it is very possible that the district court’s decision will stand as they may refuse to take it up after the district court passes their decision down, whatever that may be. It is ridiculous on it’s face that the president is immune from criminal prosecution from actions while in office. Just think of the implications.
Slavery was a big part of the revolution war but the northern states controlled most of the manufacturing and had most of the population therefore the south didnt feel like it was getting a fair shake in congress so they split
Do you mean about the values of his properties, lying to the bank, Jan 6, and what else be might be charged with? The banks are not complying and videos show he was set up
It wasn’t surprising. Miedas’ touch explained before this decision by Scotus. It’s not a setback. Miedas Touch predicted that they would wait until the Appellate court makes its decision. Do better legacy media.
NOTHING BURGER!!!
If Trump is allowed to have immunity for the crimes he did while in office, then they will open the door for others to try to do the same thing. Stop it now. Allow just a certain amount of time then set the date for his trial. Stop allowing him to get away with all this stalling.
