    He’s not wrong. There is absolute immunity for Trump friendly crimes, also known as presidential pardon.

          Also Trump literally illegally kidnapped a head of state to the U.S. And we’re supposed to pretend the first thing they did was not simply… Move the murderer somewhere out of state where they couldn’t reach him even if they tried (which they won’t because no blue state has the balls to meaningfully stand up to Trump)?

          I mean, realistically that guy could twerk in front of the Minnesota Capitol with some ICE buddies to back him up and giant sign saying “I did it” and Minnesota still wouldn’t do shit.

          “State’s rights” are exactly like the “2A rights”. They only serve conservatives, whom the law protects but does not bind.

          This is not just me being salty BTW. I am trying to get across the point to anyone reading this that if your plan to bring back U.S. Democracy relies on the Constitution playing in your favor, you’ve already lost.

        They don’t need to pardon him. Just put some more armed goons between him and whomever wants to serve justice. They’re already using military force against citizens.
