How about we end qualified immunity for POLICE OFFICERS, first?

Qualified immunity is bad and needs to end, but that is not the same thing granting (former) presidents immunity. Those are two different types of immunity.

Hey, OP . . . what does sucking on a baby carrot feel like?
HarvJacker
Yes our teeth and ambitions are bare...

Nobody should be immune. period. America's justice system was designed to make even the msot powerful person have same weight as the weakest.
A criminal is a criminal no matter if its POTUS or a begger.
If you are an American you should be held within the rules of that justice systems design.
howaboutnevernow
Qualified Immunity is actually what protects police from their bad behavior and is also a bad, court made doctrine. Presidential immunity is the doctrine our right wing SCOTUS recently made up to protect Trump
MrsHowVeryDareYou
It’s telling that no one is worried about other presidents abusing this power. Like, why would you pass this while Biden is the sitting President if you weren’t positive he was too responsible to abuse it the same way you want Trump able to.

It's immunity from prosecution for official CRIMINAL acts while in office. The supreme court is corrupt.
Willowknowsall
But a rally is not an official act as president, not a requirement of his job. Greenlighting seal team to take out bin laden is an official act as president
idrinkcheapbeer
Did he?
mylovelyhangover
I mean, technically after he told Simba to run away and never return, he told the hyenas to "Kill him", so...
NonWellKnownImgurian
Signed, no reason the government should be above their own laws. We all need to be held accountable or we might as well have anarchy
BryanTenn
Hyenas? I thought it was some type of buffalo?
ricpaul
Did you finish watching the movie? !!!SPOILERALERT!!! Are we getting to that part where the Hyena's tear Scar apart any time soon?
naturepriestess
one can only dream. these hyenas will most likely switch their devotion to a scar 2.0
Kaleopolitus
Remember, before it got to that point, the pride lands were horrifically fucked up and everyone was starving and dying. . . . Do it earlier.
oldguyexlurker
Right, but remember, the hyenas apparently had free roam to eat anything they wished and destroy the ecosystem before it collapsed and they left. If Trump gets into office again THAT is where we'll be.

It is hilarious that someone thinks a MoveOn petition is going to do anything about this problem.

EDIT: this ruling was "presidential" immunity not "qualified". commenter below informed me that "qualified Immunity is actually what protects police from their bad behavior and is also a bad, court made doctrine. Presidential immunity is the doctrine our right wing SCOTUS recently made up to protect Trump". thank you for clarifying. ( tried to edit post. unsuccessfully)

...why in the name of fuck does this have downvotes?
bananabonanza3
Related: Vance’s response to the Springfield shit is ridiculous. Denying any responsibility (of course), blaming Harris, then literally admitting to making up stories on air. Stories that get people hurt.
naturepriestess
this is a conspiracy encouraging deadly violence against LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENT people of color. manufactured by MAGA GOP, as a means to coalesce the rabid d.t. maga base.
TacoPoweredHelicopter
Ya not sure how both him and Trump can just get away with it... Laws don't count for those in power I guess. (Not even in power... Just want to be in power)
naturepriestess
no other american would experience the same outlandish advantages that Trump has exploited within the judicial system.
newsguycraigevans
Stories that paralyzed an American town with fear. Repeated threats of violence against schools and other public institutions. Why is this tolerated? Just because they have (R) behind their name?
TheBreadTurtle
call me extreme, but i think people who make bomb threats should have their hands cut off so they have zero chance of ever following through
naturepriestess
greedy rich men/pseudo-socialists lining the pockets of dirty judges (here's looking at you clarence thomas, samuel alito)
Zoroasterisk
Bernie is a Socialist. MAGA is not. Socialism is to the *left* of basically everyone in the country, whereas Trump and the cronies he stocked the courts with are all White Christian Nationalist shitheads that are to the *right* of the rest of the country. I suspect you used that word because of their similarities to Nazis, which called themselves National Socialists, but they just co-opted the term, like they and MAGA co-opt populist rhetoric, even though their policies are terrible for most ppl
naturepriestess
i stand corrected.

Good for you. I won't be voting since I can't but since this will affect me in one way or another I hope you are making a well informed choice.
wandermanspacebot
You sure interact with a lot of political posts for someone who is supposedly trying to avoid them.
newsguycraigevans
No. People need to see this. You don't get to hide this information.
InsanityOnTheInternet
Yes, the Norwegians need to read 83625 posts about Trump so they know not to vote for him.... Imagine if you had to sift through every third post being about the politics of Belgium because some people are arseholes and can't be bothered to tag their posts.
ExistentialDreadlocks
Ah yes, the "I want this so everyone else needs it too".

At least Scar's rally song was pretty catchy

In other news, Disney has asked Trump to not use Scar’s rallying sing during his campaign.
AyatollahBahloni
Not subtle at all. "You won't get a sniff without me" = "I'm the only one who can fix it."

Disney villains have the best songs, or at least used to. Scar, Ursula, Gaston. the best songs
Villosopher
Frollo’s song still gives me chills (“Hellfire”, The Hunchback of Notre Dame)
Lucallia
I second this. Frollo's takes the cake for me. Close second would be scar.
GlenL
But some how less Nazi imagery than a Trump rally
Selfawerewolf
And let's be clear there was a fair amount of Nazi-implication in that number.

Vergenbuurg
Fun fact: Irons blew out his vocal chords on the line "You won't get a sniff without me!", and the remainder of the song was recorded by Jim Cummings... he's a masterful voiceover artist, who was already attached to the project, portraying the hyena Ed.

That's what a lifetime of smoking will do to an amazing voice. I'm glad he recovered.
Cyberjvh
Some of those lyrics seem eerily relevant. "So prepare for the coup of the century. Be prepared for the murkiest scam." And then Scar goes on to boast about himself being a wonder. Scar and Trump seem to have a lot in common.

Dude, That’s the same exact link that was posted. Am I missing something here? And since when YouTube links are different for Android
ViviAdorkable
The first one on android has linked to the 'fitting.' From the sentence because of no space between them.

Android links are generated by extremely lazy text parsing. Basically if there's a dot.connecting things, it's a link.

On Android links don't work unless you put a space between your sentence and the link.
