I agree totally and that's why the Biden impeachment inquiry is so important to us all. When you have a President say "we all have to pay are fair share in taxes" while his own family and himself don't you're right - He's got to be held accountable.

The fact that this is even debatable is the most humiliating thing. It's ridiculous. It doesn't matter one bit if an action is executed within the scope of Presidential duties or not. If it's a criminal act it's criminal, and no one is immune from criminal acts. Why are we even _talking_ about this, let alone sending it to the Supreme Court (or any court)?!? It's absolutely ridiculous.
Thank you !!! I feel like all the blah blah we speak about being this " Big wonderful Place", when we literally can't hold a person accountable that has openly admit he committed crimes. His base is so far gone with hate, that they don't see how this is hurting us as a whole😢
@@bmcgee1963 100%! I often cite the _fact_ that Trump has publicly admitted to most of his crimes. I refer to him as a self-confessed criminal. Mostly falls on deaf ears.

Yah, that cake is not going to taste all that great.
Absolutely agree. It's a nothing'burder'. I made a similar post. Trump should be cautious for what he wishes for, because it might come back to bite him in a very, very nasty way.
There's no more stealth in Donald Trump's wish list for destroying democracy. Remind me of the game of Hearts. He's trying to shoot the moon without all the cards he needs to do so. He's a buffoon who's about to prove it to the world.
He said that before the Democrats started coming for his throat. Now he understands how important that right is. There's nothing wrong with exercising a right.
No, he is leading the fifth because Democrats don't actually care what he has to say in his defense. They just want him to talk so that the media can take something he says in the wrong way and smear him repeatedly.
So riddle me this: Even if he were acting in an official capacity as President, doing what he interpreted as "his duty," wouldn't insurrection still have been a crime?
In a regular universe where people haven't substituted beliefs for truth. In our current universe nearly half have been told the sky is now green and they believe it. The crimes are so evident, but the gop goons and dump and cult members are riding this horse as far as it'll take them. Sadly the justice systems hands are apparently tied and about half of them probably believe the sky is green as well. We're not out of danger from this slow moving coup. IT's still ongoing. Probably only another defeat at the ballot box is going to stop this idiocy dead in its tracks.
Presidents are *not* kings. He must be held accountable... or we don't have law and order. Support people who understand this simple fact. Vote BLUE! 🗳
NO KINGS, I AM AN AMERCIAN CITIZEN KING who are you. The founders of my nation delcared all American Citizen were Kings created equal but seprate from governing, thus why I hold the power to abolish tyanny and create government as do all of my American Citizen Brethen. We are the Sovernity of this nation, and why we are the first middle and last check and balance. Learn your history before you speak I feel you no not what you say. We are Kings, thats were our creed and saying come from A KING CAN NOT KNEEL LESS HE GIVES UP HIS SOVERITY. Thus I stand for my flag, i only kneel when i pray! Liberity to death i shall never take a Knee! this is where we come from who we are. We cased off our old ties of cultrue race and dawned the mantal of being created equal as Kings of America, the seprated from governing means we will not make any laws, enforce any laws, nor judge any laws, and bestow by consent all our kingly powers to the republic save for 2 and hold our rights. Those powers are abolishment and creation. in return we decree every king gets a vote for their representive. The reason of this is the sepration of powers, you can't put a king in any branch without that branch forcing the other 2 to kneel to it. So Our kings are us the citizens outside the government seprated, so that we can have freedom liberity and justice for all. Thats the frame work that built our consitutin and all the law, including our Creed. Why did we Declare ourselves and ordaine every American a KIng? Simple were wanted a fight, and how better to insult Prince John sitting as steward on Richards thrown. Our forefathers slapped him across his face with our Declaration of Indpendance.
Trump was never charged. Maybe try and pass 4th grade civics next year. You cant find people guilty without due process. Here is the part the leftist brain cannot accept as real."No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

From down here at the bottom of the world it certainly does not seem so. In ANY other country where there is respect for the law there would have been a swift trial and he would have been flung into gaol.
In this country we have such thing called checks and balances. We have three branches of government; Executive, Legislative, and Judicial, who can counter act each other. Then there also State rights and federal laws. Even so whatever the SCOTUS decides, states have the right to interpret the law and stand up against Trump and his supporters for the crimes they have committed against American Citizens.....
I'm in Australia and each state has Corruption and Crime Commission which holds public servants accountable. That does not exclude the PM. However, getting them prosecuted is tough and it annoys me that they're not under rigorous scrutiny. For example, you must be an Australian citizen to run for election and also to vote. The elected pollies who weren't fought instant dismissal and were allowed to rectify it by obtaining immediate citizenship. As a public servant in the lower ranks. I'd lose my job on the spot - not because I wasn't a citizen but because I was dishonest. You must declare your citizenship status in order to become a public servant. There's no way these politicians can pretend they didn't know and for that, they should pay dearly by losing the high paid position they lied their way into.
when the impeachment reached the Senate, Mitch McConnel as the leader of the senate and as he refuted the congress impeachment, stated that the courts should be the ones to decide!
I've been looking for this comment. Mitch McConnell stated courts should decide the fate of whether a President broke the law, ergo there is no immunity for a President that beaks the law.
Teaching Donald Trump about morality is like teaching Charles Manson the foxtrot. He can probably manage the first step or two, but then he’d stab a pencil in your eye, because he’s Charles Manson.
He acted as a citizen while ignoring his duties as president the last 10 weeks in office. He tweeted and schemed to remain in power but did next to nothing except pardon criminals that he liked. For 5-6 years he talked of improving infrastructure and could have gotten something started but turned inward, completely neglecting the office and its responsibilities of which he swore an oath to uphold and carry out. The hot air president is the best he could be called in remembrance of his tenure.
He did try to get stuff started but the RINOs, the Democrats, the army of federal bureaucrats, and the media blocked his every move. It wasn't his fault. Imagine how great America could have been if they'd all worked with him instead of fighting him every step of the way.

@@leonblack2651 Funny how you conveniently leave out the fact that the MAJORITY of the Senate, including some Republicans, voted to convict him. You also seemingly want to pretend that a judge ruled he did, IN FACT, engage in insurrection against the United States of America. That ruling was appealed, and seven appellate judges also found that he did, IN FACT, engage in insurrection. That's EIGHT SITTING JUDGES! They ruled UNANIMOUSLY. The Senate farce was political, and you know it, and he still barely escaped. The judicial ruling was not, and he did NOT escape. The facts are in. It's been adjudicated, and he is guilty of insurrection. Got any other snarky excuses for Trump?
The examples that Smith gives at around the 6 minute mark sound more like actual examples he has of Trumps activity rather than hypotheticals pulled out of thin air.
I would agree with Mr Smith, Trump has about 2/3 of the Republican party behind which is about 38% of the Electorate, and if Trump is not held accountable, the 62% of the Electorate could loose faith in the Constitution for which we Stand😢
A little problem with your math actual number in 2022 41% Independent, 28% Republican, 28% Democrat & 3% other. If we go with the 2/3 of the Republicans that is only 18.5% of the overall electorate. So if an immoral minority wins, the remaining majority of 81.5% loses a free country.
For further inquiry - have any amicus briefs been filed to support either side with the Court of Appeals in the immunity case? There are strict time limitations and this case has been fast-tracked, with oral arguments starting Jan 9. If amicus briefs can be submitted, it sure would be great if the Court of Appeals got a stack in favor of the DOJ's stance against presidential immunity from prosecution. Criminal behavior shouldn't be tolerated at ANY level of government! Good grief.
Presidents are allowed to exercise. Trump always had other politicians or diplomats with him to conduct business informally. Obama was a fan of golfing too and Biden likes riding his bike.
@@muchoed5119 I agree that he would. But if he has presidential immunity he wouldn't have to. And if the precedent is established any future president could stay for life.

As bad as this Scotus is, I don't see how they could possibly rule in Dump's favor in this case. They could delay though, which would help Trump. And I think though, they will rule against his disqualification from the ballot. Then they will think they are fair, one ruling for DT, the other against him.
I have a question. Since the president has to take an oath to the same Constitution that all Americans must abide by then wouldn't the Courts ruling in total immunity mean that ALL Americans have absolute immunity as well?

@@Thurston-q6q They are allowed; within their own boundaries to ensure that anyone that is in a primary to run for a main election is qualified for that election. Both Colorado and Maine determined that Trump isn't via the clause of the 14th amendment about insurrections. States do this all the time in that you can't run for President if you're not at least 35 years of age. If your argument stood then states wouldn't be allowed to enforce the age requirement either. There is no "due process" for the age requirement, nor the natural born citizen clause. It's somewhat soft in defining the clause for the insurrection bit. It'll be interesting seeing how the supreme court handles this. As it is the two states that determined he wasn't eligible were within their jurisdiction to do so.
What was all that legal hassle around Nixon and his shenanigans about, then, USA, if you at all have such a thing as "presidential immunity"? His shenanigans being considerably less hazardous than those of trump, it should also be noted.

I agree totally and that's why the Biden impeachment inquiry is so important to us all. When you have a President say "we all have to pay are fair share in taxes" while his own family and himself don't you're right - He's got to be held accountable.
What are you talking about@@JohnMac-lk2qx?
Just explain to us why on earth you are supporting Trump who gave nearly $2 trillion in tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires?
You don't know what you're supporting... and if you do, then that's even worse, because it means you're a 'fool?'
The fact that this is even debatable is the most humiliating thing. It's ridiculous. It doesn't matter one bit if an action is executed within the scope of Presidential duties or not. If it's a criminal act it's criminal, and no one is immune from criminal acts. Why are we even _talking_ about this, let alone sending it to the Supreme Court (or any court)?!? It's absolutely ridiculous.
Thank you !!! I feel like all the blah blah we speak about being this " Big wonderful Place", when we literally can't hold a person accountable that has openly admit he committed crimes. His base is so far gone with hate, that they don't see how this is hurting us as a whole😢

Yah, that cake is not going to taste all that great.
Absolutely agree. It's a nothing'burder'. I made a similar post. Trump should be cautious for what he wishes for, because it might come back to bite him in a very, very nasty way.

Putting democracy at risk is the whole point for Trump.

There's no more stealth in Donald Trump's wish list for destroying democracy. Remind me of the game of Hearts. He's trying to shoot the moon without all the cards he needs to do so. He's a buffoon who's about to prove it to the world.
Sad!
Remember when Trump said that pleading the fifth was for guilty people? Now that's all he is doing
Trump has too COG.........
He said that before the Democrats started coming for his throat. Now he understands how important that right is. There's nothing wrong with exercising a right.
No, he is leading the fifth because Democrats don't actually care what he has to say in his defense. They just want him to talk so that the media can take something he says in the wrong way and smear him repeatedly.
So riddle me this: Even if he were acting in an official capacity as President, doing what he interpreted as "his duty," wouldn't insurrection still have been a crime?
Yes. Attacking the Constitution is not an official duty of a Presidnet who is sworn to uphold the Constitution
In a regular universe where people haven't substituted beliefs for truth. In our current universe nearly half have been told the sky is now green and they believe it.

Sadly the justice systems hands are apparently tied and about half of them probably believe the sky is green as well. We're not out of danger from this slow moving coup. IT's still ongoing.

We are Kings, thats were our creed and saying come from A KING CAN NOT KNEEL LESS HE GIVES UP HIS SOVERITY. Thus I stand for my flag, i only kneel when i pray! Liberity to death i shall never take a Knee! this is where we come from who we are. We cased off our old ties of cultrue race and dawned the mantal of being created equal as Kings of America, the seprated from governing means we will not make any laws, enforce any laws, nor judge any laws, and bestow by consent all our kingly powers to the republic save for 2 and hold our rights. Those powers are abolishment and creation. in return we decree every king gets a vote for their representive.
The reason of this is the sepration of powers, you can't put a king in any branch without that branch forcing the other 2 to kneel to it. So Our kings are us the citizens outside the government seprated, so that we can have freedom liberity and justice for all. Thats the frame work that built our consitutin and all the law,
including our Creed.

In this country we have such thing called checks and balances. We have three branches of government; Executive, Legislative, and Judicial, who can counter act each other. Then there also State rights and federal laws. Even so whatever the SCOTUS decides, states have the right to interpret the law and stand up against Trump and his supporters for the crimes they have committed against American Citizens.....
I'm in Australia and each state has Corruption and Crime Commission which holds public servants accountable. That does not exclude the PM. However, getting them prosecuted is tough and it annoys me that they're not under rigorous scrutiny. For example, you must be an Australian citizen to run for election and also to vote. The elected pollies who weren't fought instant dismissal and were allowed to rectify it by obtaining immediate citizenship. As a public servant in the lower ranks. I'd lose my job on the spot - not because I wasn't a citizen but because I was dishonest. You must declare your citizenship status in order to become a public servant. There's no way these politicians can pretend they didn't know and for that, they should pay dearly by losing the high paid position they lied their way into.
Trump's lawyers should be disbarred. This is ridiculous.

With Trump I'd bet there are very few things left that are only hypothetical.
I would agree with Mr Smith, Trump has about 2/3 of the Republican party behind which is about 38% of the Electorate, and if Trump is not held accountable, the 62% of the Electorate could loose faith in the Constitution for which we Stand😢
It's more like 27%.
And very likely that the old guard won't vote for Trump.
20% is probably a more credible number.
Perhaps it is 38% of the VOTING electorate - so many people don't bother voting.
A little problem with your math actual number in 2022 41% Independent, 28% Republican, 28% Democrat & 3% other. If we go with the 2/3 of the Republicans that is only 18.5% of the overall electorate. So if an immoral minority wins, the remaining majority of 81.5% loses a free country.

Both Colorado and Maine determined that Trump isn't via the clause of the 14th amendment about insurrections. States do this all the time in that you can't run for President if you're not at least 35 years of age. If your argument stood then states wouldn't be allowed to enforce the age requirement either. There is no "due process" for the age requirement, nor the natural born citizen clause. It's somewhat soft in defining the clause for the insurrection bit. It'll be interesting seeing how the supreme court handles this. As it is the two states that determined he wasn't eligible were within their jurisdiction to do so.
