You’re right, the bribery talk is the logical extrapolation of the ruling that is laid out in the dissenting opinion. (and also in a minor dissent from one of the 6 judges who made the ruling.)

Edit: and unfortunately I live in a place where the US supreme Court website does not allow access so I can’t read the conveniently shared link. I have tried to find it online and read as much of it as I can. I would like to read the full thing, maybe you could share the image on a Lemmy instance and link to that? You could do the same with the dissenting opinion, too, for completion’s sake.

What I can find from the reports and snippets I can find is that the ruling that Roberts wrote talks about not only immunity for official acts, but not using official acts as evidence for prosecuting a US president. This then becomes the talk of bribery as making an appointment is very much an official act, and where that one conservative justice breaks line with the other five, as she maintains that official acts should be eligible as evidence when prosecuting unofficial acts.

Doesn’t the ruling say that if the president takes a bribe to give someone an official appointment, that the person was appointed is not admissable as evidence in court?

That’s both new, and stupid. But what Roberts wrote in the majority ruling.

Edit: It also states that Trump putting pressure on Pence to change the election results may or may not be an official act, and whether it can be prosecuted is unclear (and whether it can be discussed in law needs an investigation and a ruling, rather than deciding it in a court of law).

Edit II: Romer below said it all far better than me. https://lemmy.autism.place/comment/224475

“The Democrats have fielded the only candidate who could lose against Trump, and the Republicans have the only candidate who could lose to Biden.”

That’s true.

I was reading a nutter manifesto from the Heritage Party in the UK earlier… It is a hodgepodge of animal rights laws that are a mix of actual animal rights and outlawing Halal and Kosher slaughter, encouraging free markets and nationalising railways and utilities, being free speech and personal freedom but LGBTQ people can’t have families or be spoken about, want to invest in the military and especially navy but also apparently are anti-war and want to cease support for Ukraine.

Enjoy the 4 specials, I’ve got the last of the Ncuti Gatwa series to go.

He is back now, and it’s fine.

Much better than Chibnall since RTD actually understands Who.

That’s a list of Eurovision hits right there.

Moldova had a good run for a few years. Don’t think they’ve made the finals over the last few though.

Tudi-Voice, Taiwan - Taiwanese modern folk stuff.

Florent Vollant, Canada - interesting indigenous culture based music.

Mulatu Astatke, Ethiopia - Jazz from the 60s and 70s.

Altın Gün, Türkiye/The Netherlands - modern Anatolian psych sounds.

Gwenno, Wales - Gaelic folktronica.

Strange, nationalists in Europe have a lot of ideas about how to change their various countries.

You’ll have to explain, since in the comic the main premise of both Nationalism and Patriotism is that “this house is mine ergo it is the best”.

(Also historically the distinction would be that Nationalism is about establishing an ethno-state, while Patriotism is the basically-unconditional loving of your state, be it ethno or otherwise.)

Twinnings is my usual. Pukka, mostly for herbies, and various supermarket ownbrands (not each of them’s cheapest ownbrand mind you). Yorkshire is decent, PG tips OK but I never buy the latter myself.

Guizhou Mao Jian (毛尖) of various brands is decent too, if you can find it. More commonly I love an English Breakfast, Earl and Lady Grey, Rooibos, and various herbal concoctions.

Edit: nicest brand of tea I had was TWG, and they were amazing. Too expensive for me to ever buy for myself, though.

I’m pretty sure they would, unless you’re over 30.

Canada has one of the most open immigration policies in the world.

The US has been continually committing terrorist acts (or enabling them) around the world for at least the last 70 years.

If the US is collapsing, perhaps they will have to let up a little and focus on its own civil war and take the boot off of the developing world somewhat.

It’s not.

It’s just reposting 4chan stuff. That post is fine, but look over the community and you’ll find a lot of punching down and the odd dog whistle post.

FFX-2 has a great battle system, and job based FFs were always the most rewarding to play.

XIII was the point I just decided I didn’t care any more. (Also, there’s no way that XIII gets to count as retro already, right?)

An actual rush is a very all in strategy, just don’t fall too far behind on making combat units and you’ll be fine.

Its as true in AoE2 as it is in Starcraft(pick one).

Great fun games, tickle me in a different way to slower, absolutely no rush, 4X games.

Still some of the best party shooters out there. A plethora of game modes, and a co-op story mode as well. The original and FP are great games. 2 took itself a little too seriously in my opinion (and didn’t have character select lines) for it to match up to quite the same level.

And in my day we couldn’t just send boomers to bed with a hand wave, we had to sit through the Clintons’ saxophone show first and then we…

You’re wrong, but I’m glad you have had fun and I hope that TESVI isn’t a micro transaction fuelled pile of tripe.

Yup, that’s the one.
