Former President Trump’s legal team suggested Tuesday that even a president directing SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent would be an action barred from prosecution given a former executive’s broad immunity to criminal prosecution.
The hypothetical was presented to Trump attorney John Sauer who answered with a “qualified yes” that a former president would be immune from prosecution on that matter or even on selling pardons.
This is a fucking wild comment. I couldn't have imagined this being the discourse we have as politically acceptable on either side. We are low-key driving off the cliff and going into civil war territory and I'm seeing it everywhere.
Don't know but I can't recall a time where I was commenting online that I wanted someone to be assassinated. It's just weird to joke about but it's just so common now.
I cannot imagine clutching pearls this hard over a joke about assassinating somebody who themselves is responsible for thousands or more deaths. The lives of killers are so precious they're above even jokes.
