45. Not to mention " full and unquestioned presidential immunity"

Which every decent judge in the land -- excluding, of course, the 6 traitors to democracy in SCOTUS -- felt to be a frivolous and stupid claim made by Fat Donnie and his legal mouthpieces.

Yeah, folks, unless there's a miracle in November, this country is toast, your stature as a voting citizen is toast, rule of law for the

They are backed by most of the nation's billionaires -- and those who aren't on board today will buy their way into Fat Donnie's protection agency as soon as Fat Donnie and his minions are given the reins of power.
