Thankfully, The Big Picture has broken it down in their latest article. This essential read explores how the ruling could enable presidential abuses of power and what it means for Trump’s ongoing legal issues. If you care about the future of our Republic, take the time to read and understand what’s at stake. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/imperial-presidency-scotus-trump-immunity

SCOTUS has ruled that presidents are essentially monarchs who can commit crimes, bribery is legal, federal regulatory agencies have no authority to keep us safe, and homeless people can be punished for being homeless.

Is it any wonder why public approval of this court is so low?

Billionaires aren’t just supporting Trump for the tax cuts.

As Peter Thiel once admitted: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”

Make no mistake: The goal of American oligarchy is to tear down democracy itself.

Republicans like to convince people that the reason they are paying more for everything is the government, but that would only be true if we were a communist oligarchy where prices were set by a politburo. We don’t.

We live in a capitalist oligarchy where prices are set by a boardroom.
