Supreme Court rejects Trump claim of ‘absolute immunity’ from grand jury subpoena for tax returns

The Supreme Court rejected President Trump’s claim of “absolute immunity” from a New York grand jury subpoena for his financial records.

Supreme Court rejects Trump claim of ‘absolute immunity’ from grand jury subpoena for tax returns.

The court handed Trump a big loss, ruling that he is not “categorically immune” from having his pre-presidential financial records released to a New York grand jury. But in a second decision on the House’s request for similar information, the court appeared to question the breadth of congressional authority.

Both cases were sent back to lower courts, and above all, Americans will not see the president’s taxes before Election Day.

In the first case, Trump had sought to block the grand jury subpoena of his documents. The vote was 7 to 2 with Chief Justice John Roberts writing the opinion for the majority that Trump could not do so.

In the second case, the Supreme Court ruled that the lower court needs to consider separation of power issues related to the congressional subpoenas, suggesting that Congress did not have unlimited powers to investigate the president. That ruling was also 7-2, with Roberts writing the opinion.

And who were the IDIOTS who felt Trump should be treated like a dictator and have ‘absolute immunity’?

Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr.!

According to news reports & various sources, White House Staffers & Cabinet Members claimed Trump is “an Idiot”, “a f***ing moron”, “dumb as shit”, “dope with the intelligence of a kindergartner”, “like an 11 year old child”, “a professional liar”, “thinks he God”, “he tries to divide us”, “don’t think he’s fit for office”, was unable to stay focused, had a 2 minute attention span and required a ‘Special Folder’ with flattering news and photos about himself twice a day. Former DHS official Miles Taylor stated Trump was “Incandescently stupid”, that he had to “dumb down” classified memos so Trump could understand them and what he saw firsthand terrified him. National Security Advisor John Bolton stated World Leaders considered Trump to be a “laughing fool”.

A book called “The Toddler in Chief” details more than 1,000 reports by Cabinet members, Oval Office advisers and Republican Party officials describe Trump engaging in childlike behavior and temper tantrums. Reports claim White House aides had to treat Trump like a child in order to placate him.

Only after it was clear to Johnson that he stood no chance of getting re-elected did he then try to broker a peace deal to help Hubert Humphrey.

GOP’s History of Treasonous Tactics to Win Elections

Members of Ronald Reagan’s presidential campaign covertly negotiated with Iranian leaders to undermine incumbent President Jimmy Carter by delaying the release of 66 American hostages detained in Iran. This deal with Iran caused the delay the release of American hostages for a year past the time they could have been released, to help Reagan win the 1980 election. This became known as the 1980 “October Surprise”.  The hostage situation, which began when Iranian revolutionaries seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran, was one of the biggest news stories of 1980, and Carter’s inability to resolve it is widely believed to have contributed to his loss. We now know the reason President Carter was unable to negotiate the release of the hostages was due to Reagan’s presidential campaign covertly negotiating with Iranian leaders, promising not to release them until after Reagan was elected.

By the time of the election in November 1968, LBJ had evidence Nixon had sabotaged the Vietnam war peace talks. Nixon feared a breakthrough at the Paris Peace talks designed to find a negotiated settlement to the Vietnam war, and he knew this would derail his campaign. In late October 1968 there were major concessions from Hanoi which promised to allow meaningful talks to get underway in Paris – concessions that would justify Johnson calling for a complete bombing halt of North Vietnam. To sabotage these efforts, Nixon set up a clandestine back-channel involving Anna Chennault, a senior campaign adviser, who convinced the South Vietnamese pull out of peace talks, with promises of them getting a better deal if Nixon was elected President. This helped Nixon get elected, resulting in the war dragging on years afterwards, causing the unnecessary deaths of thousands of U.S. Troops and the deaths of South Vietnamese.

Nixon Prolonged the Vietnam War to get elected President, which cost thousand of lives

Nixon records show that in 1968, as a presidential candidate, he used Anna Chennault as his liaison in Vietnam, to persuade them to refuse a cease-fire being brokered by President Lyndon Johnson. This was done to hurt Democratic Presidential candidate Hubert Humphrey and help Nixon.

Nixon ran on a platform that opposed the Vietnam war, but to win the election, he needed the war to continue

In 1968, the Paris Peace talks, intended to put an end to the 13-year-long Vietnam War, failed because an aide working for then-Presidential candidate Richard Nixon convinced the South Vietnamese to walk away from the dealings, says a new report by the BBC’s David Taylor. By the late 1960s Americans had been involved in the Vietnam War for nearly a decade, and the ongoing conflict was an incredibly contentious issue, says PBS:

In 1967, with American troop strength in Vietnam reaching 500,000, protest against U.S. participation in the Vietnam War had grown stronger as growing numbers of Americans questioned whether the U.S. war effort could succeed or was morally justifiable. They took their protests to the streets in peace marches, demonstrations, and acts of civil disobedience. Despite the country’s polarization, the balance of American public opinion was beginning to sway toward “de-escalation” of the war.

Nixon feared a breakthrough at the Paris Peace talks designed to find a negotiated settlement to the Vietnam war, and he knew this would derail his campaign.

In late October 1968 there were major concessions from Hanoi which promised to allow meaningful talks to get underway in Paris – concessions that would justify Johnson calling for a complete bombing halt of North Vietnam. This was exactly what Nixon feared.

President Johnson had at the time a habit of recording all of his phone conversations, and newly released tapes from 1968 detailed that the FBI had “bugged” the telephones of the South Vietnamese ambassador and of Anna Chennault, one of Nixon’s aides. Nixon records show that in 1968, as a presidential candidate, he used Anna Chennault as his liaison in Vietnam, to persuade them to refuse a cease-fire being brokered by President Lyndon Johnson. This was done to hurt Democratic Presidential candidate Hubert Humphrey and help Nixon.

In the recently released tapes, we can hear Johnson being told about Nixon’s interference by Defence Secretary Clark Clifford. The FBI had bugged the South Vietnamese ambassadors phone. They had Chennault lobbying the ambassador on tape. Johnson was justifiably furious — he ordered Nixon’s campaign be placed under FBI surveillance. Johnson passed along a note to Nixon that he knew about the move. Nixon played like he had no idea why the South backed out, and offered to travel to Saigon to get them back to the negotiating table.

Though the basic story of Nixon’s involvement in stalling the Vietnam peace talks has been around before, the new tapes, says the Atlantic Wire, describe how President Johnson knew all about the on-goings but chose not to bring them to the public’s attention: he thought that his intended successor, Hubert Humphrey, was going to beat Nixon in the upcoming election anyway. And, by revealing that he knew about Nixon’s dealings, he’d also have to admit to having spied on the South Vietnamese ambassador.

Johnson was livid. He even called the Republican Senate Minority Leader, Everett Dirksen to complain that “they oughtn’t be doing this. This is treason.” “I know,” was Dirksen’s feeble reply.

Eventually, Nixon won by just 1 percent of the popular vote. “Once in office he escalated the war into Laos and Cambodia, with the loss of an additional 22,000 American lives, before finally settling for a peace agreement in 1973 that was within grasp in 1968,” says the BBC.

This treason cost many lives. To Nixon, getting elected was more important than the lives of our Troops or Vietnamese people. Lack of empathy and decency seems to be a common trait of Right Wingers, such as Nixon, Reagan and Trump.

Johnson called the Republican Senate Minority Leader, Everett Dirksen to complain that “they oughtn’t be doing this. This is treason.” “I know,” was Dirksen’s feeble reply.

This treason cost the lives of thousands of Troops. To Nixon, getting re-elected was more important. I’ll never understand why Johnson (who I’m no fan of) didn’t out Nixon as he should of for his treason and costing the lives of our troops.

If there’s a HELL, I hope BOTH of these BASTARDS rot there forever.

The Americans people and our Troops has been getting ABUSED and SCREWED for years by incompetent Presidents and our incompetent, F***-up Government.

Another Trump Indictment Another Unfiltered NYC Rant!

I think Representative James Clyburn Sucks for reviving Joe Biden’s failed candidacy for President. Biden was losing and was on his last leg before Clyburn opened his stupid mouth and endorsed this “has been” who never was all that.

At the time Clyburn made his endorsement for Biden, all other democrat candidates dropped out to unit behind Biden to stop Bernie Sanders. Biden is too old, boring, a wimp and Democrats worst choice because he has the most “baggage”.

Yes, Joe Biden is a good, decent man. But being good and decent is no match for Republicans and Trump who has no decency and who will do / say anything to win.

We need someone who will aggressively fight and destroy Republicans like they have fought Democrats. That won’t happen with Biden because he wants to “work with the other side”.

Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden should not have ran to make room for younger candidates. Any of the above candidates under 60 would have been better and more motivating than Joe Biden.

I feel anyone over 65 is too old to be running for President…. and that includes Bernie Sanders and Trump. If everyone who holds a position in the government (congressman, judges, etc) would retire at 65, we’d be a lot better off. We need change, and we’re not going to get it by keeping old farts in office until they kick the bucket.

Tim Ryan was my pick for the Democrat’s Presidential Candidate. Unfortunately, he received little notice. As you can see from the above speech (and others on youtube), Ryan could have DESTROYED Trump and Republicans.

This old cartoon reminds me of how Republicans has been bulling Democrats for years. Democrats need more “Tim Ryan’s” who will kick some ass!

Ukrainian passenger plane carrying 176 people crashes near Tehran

The Boeing 737 jet came down just minutes after take-off from Imam Khomeini International Airport early this morning, hours after Iran launched missile strikes on US bases in Iraq.

Experts claim the Ukrainian Plane was hit by an Iranian Missile.

OPINION: This missile attack would not have happen and 176 lives would not have been lost if TRUMP hadn’t destroyed Obama’s Peace Deal with Iran.

Therefore an argument could be made that TRUMP is responsible the for 176 lives lost, the contractor who was killed and all of the fallout associated with the Iranian Peace deal being destroyed.

Obama, others warned Trump that ditching Iran deal could lead to war

Obama, Macron and others told Trump that pulling out of the JCPOA, the Iran nuclear deal, would open a “Pandora’s box” and risk war in the Mideast.

Trump responsible for Iran conflicts by pulling out of Iran nuke deal. Therefore Trump is directly responsible for the death of the US contractor in attack on Iraqi military base.

It’s clear that if Trump hadn’t destroyed the Iran nuke deal, none of the recent conflicts would have happen.

Video shows Trump predicting Obama would go to war with Iran to get re-elected. It appears that is EXACTLY what Trump is doing… and to also divert attention away from his lawlessness, corruption and impeachment.

The Trump Doctrine: Erasing The Black Man’s Legacy

Trump remains terribly threatened by the likability, popularity and accomplishments of his predecessor.

It appears Trump’s main reason for destroying the Iran nuke deal is because of his hatred and jealousy of Obama.

The numbers prove it: Trump’s Obama fixation is getting worse | CNN Politics

He made up a story about President Barack Obama trying “11 times” to call Kim Jong Un. He expressed suspicion of Obama’s post-presidency Netflix deal and book deal. He claimed he, “not Obama,” captured ISIS prisoners.

Trump and Mike Pompeo’s claims that Soleimani death has made the United States safer is BULLSHIT.

The assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani has NOT made the United States safer. It has stoked new hatred by Iranians who are now seeking revenge and our destruction.

Conflicts with Iran was started by the United States involvement in the 1953 Iranian coup d’état which helped put the Shah of Iran in power as detailed in the above videos. The Shah ran a brutally repressive regime, enforced by the notorious Savak secret police. He was backed all the way by the British and American governments.

This type of meddling is what caused the hatred of Iranians and people in the Mid-East against the United States.

Taking of US Hostages was Iranians reaction to the wrongs we inflicted against them. Amazing no one in our government has the guts, intelligence or decency to bring this up or admit it.

All of this hatred for the United States and conflicts could have been avoided if we would have minded our own business years ago and not interfered with other countries.

Human Confusion: Why There Must Be Justice for Non-Humans

Conservation is at its core an anti-colonial struggle. Its job is to dismantle these structures of exploitation and control and to do justice in our relationships with other species.

I agree with the above post: “The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites or women for men. This is the gist of Ms. Spiegel’s cogent, humane and astute argument, and it is sound.” —Alice Walker, Introduction in Spiegel (1988: 10).

“What do they know—all those scholars, all those philosophers, all the leaders of the world—about such as you? They have convinced themselves that man, the worst transgressor of all the species, is the crown of creation. All other creatures were created merely to provide him with food, pelts, to be tormented, exterminated. In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for animals it is an eternal Treblinka. And yet man demands compassion from heaven….”  —Isaac Bashevis Singer (1948: 270).

Over the last twelve millennia—since agriculture first emerged—humans have increased their exploitation and efforts to control other species and to colonize the Earth. Human on human hierarchy and colonization of other humans follows on the colonization of the natural world. The task of conservation is to undo that colonial relationship. We have been causing the extinction of other life-forms, including hominid species, since we left Africa at least 60,000 years ago. In the last 50 years, or just about two human generations, nearly 68% of all vertebrate animals have disappeared due to human activity (WWF 2020). Humans go into an existing biological community and reorganize it for the benefit of the invaders. We simply take what we want—the homes and lives of others—like the British did in India, the Spanish in much of the Americas, Japan in East Asia; like Mesopotamian cities did to agricultural hinterlands, and like the Aztec did to many of their neighbors.

Because we are cultural animals we have a need to justify our violent efforts to colonize and control—efforts which Walker and Singer eloquently and steadfastly reject. Whether we seek to displace other species or other humans, it’s almost invariably about resources, but we imagine a moral cause—a civilizing mission, historical progress, democracy.  In Gulliver’s Travels, Jonathan Swift’s Lilliputians and Blefuscuans fought and rested their superiority over the other on which end of an egg it was proper to open. We chuckle knowingly but have learned nothing. With such weighty matters as egg-opening to focus on, it’s easy to see how we humans can be so self-absorbed and ignore our myopic destructiveness toward the larger world”.
