Trump Pleads Total Immunity to SCOTUS While Claiming to be an Everyman | The Daily Show 

Great comment!

🎯 This 🎯

​@@blevbeat Turn a blind eye for the sake of those who aren't here every evening.

He's arguing that he can be the ONLY criminal. Laws apply to everyone bit one man. Where do we see this? North Korea?

That supreme Court argument is crazy. It is so crazy that the lawyers are only arguing that case is to steal Donald Trump's money.

its totally ridiculous themat SCUMTUS is allowed to breathe or run around free

That's Trump's MO: Lose in court, keep appealing until the other side (small contractors) runs out of money & gives up, or the other side (government) wins, but it's so long since the original trial that it gets little if any mention in the media. And now it's keep dragging this out until after the election, in case you win & can squash the cases. And the SCOTUS he packed is now part of his foot-dragging. The American legal system needs a schedule or something so rich defendants can't pull this stuff.

Three of those judges are in Trump’s pocket.

@@eyeseer1 make that six. The one successful thing Republican presidents did in the last 20 years was putting 6 ultra-conservative non-biased judges on the SCOTUS. They can't win if they don't cheat.

The hypocritical nature is on display too. They used 'Perverse Insensitive' to argue for immunity!

​@@orlandopockets6372He appointed them to begin with, so.

Same. Being the President is a public service job, so any government employee can commit crimes cause they're official😂

Before you know it, we'll be living in new Russia with a dictator vs America (look up Sotomayor's line of questioning, whether presidents can order the assasination of a political rival). America is ending, all b/c of white hate/injury voting in their selfish white supremacist in, who'd rather save his own skin vs keep the experiment that is a free America Alive.

The fact that is even a question is blatant proof this justice system is completely broken.

@@aegis6485 yuh, judicial influence always been an issue, but this crosses waaaay over into judicial corruption. Not just US, also UK eg #Assange, and western allies alike. A lot of judicially endorsed policy laundering that is slow-killing fundamental legal rights.

Nobody in OUR income bracket is above the law. But if you're rich and have a cult following this country is a playground of fun.

The right are saying the laws apply to everyone but themselves.

Bezos gained billions paying the bare minimum. Trump lost billions refusing to pay the bare minimum.

pretty sure you described what you tried to invalidate. next time, think before your act.

@@partyboat123 uh, your comment makes no sense. Try reading theirs again.

Like Eric knows cement.😂😂

​@@partyboat123 Only in the delusional space between your ears.

It has to be coming!

What would stop Biden from doing this? Ethics and integrity.

I'd be okay with the current POTUS doing it as an example and then everyone changing their tune after that. It would be the only time Trump made America great.

They are going to craft a very narrow ruling that specifically lets him off the hook for the crimes he has already committed they are going full mealy mouth on this one

Biden isn’t a criminal. He would stay old-fashioned and law-abiding. Trump is the sociopath. He thinks the world is about to get right-just like he said on the 2016 campaign trail: I could shoot somebody in the middle of Fifth Avenue and get away with it. He meant it. And now we are learning it actually could become true. Except that he’s probably afraid of guns.

EXACTLY!!

Sounds like they bought into the orange bejesus myth

No, what's really sad is that We the People don't vote and don't understand how that is directly related to the current makeup of the Supreme Court.

It's not just the Supreme Court. The regular civilians as well as the media (including this show that I personally enjoy), cannot seem to shut up about this person. I'm never learning anything from media coverage on this guy. No matter how entertaining the people who covers news on Trump are, it is ultimately a waste of all our time. We have far more important and even fun things to give our attention to, but Trump's pettiness is an apt reflection of what has always been a staple in American culture. Kind of darkly hilarious how so many problems in America would be solved if more people could detach from pettiness. So many simple solutions right in front of us

He never did? I don't like trump, but he neeevveerr did? I just need examples with proof.

It's funny cause it's true.

In 2015, there was a report that detailed over 1,200 cases of Trump refusing to pay contractors.

​@katherinekania8736 On his Tajmahal Casino in Atlantic City he never paid 253 subcontractors for their work including people who constructed the walls, chandeliers, and plumbing. That's according to the 1990 Casino Control Board.

Also, MeidasTouch discovered they were actually just republicans operatives…paid crisis actors! Can’t believe people fall for this third world BS.

Yeah

Maybe a shame he is such a decent guy

No, immunity is only for Republican presidents. /s

I was thinking that the White House could send in their own hypotheticals to the Supremes, like a suggestion box, but after each idea add, "asking for a friend".

​@@ronaldgamber1181 The Republicans are relying upon Biden being a 'nice guy', an honorable man. But here's the wrinkle that the Republicans haven't considered... A truly nice guy, an honorable man, would remove any legitimate threats to the American democracy, and would deal with the fallout later. The 'Seal Team 6'-Ann Coulter solution could be used upon more than one treacherous pro-Russian traitor....

Most of the court belongs to a society that is very Authoritarian. Politics in the Judicial branch are different to the Legislative branch, fewer elections for example, so they have different political groups. Some of these groups believe in things like Precedent, while others believe in things like Originalism. Some of these groups believe in a weaker Federal and State government, while others believe in... well, more Authoritarian views. Some will argue parts of the Constitution are meaningless, poor 9th Amendment being the most abused, while some of them have a deeper respect for the document. This is why the 1960-1970 Supreme Court gave us the likes of Roe vs Wade. This is why the 2020 Supreme Court overturned it in Dobbs v. Jackson. Mitch McConnel knew what he was doing when he stacked the courts over the last 20 years, especially the Supreme Court. If you look at what organizations his choices came from, they share the same societies for a reason. Those societies are the political parties of the Judicial Branch and Mitch was aligning the Republican party along side one of the most Authoritarian societies. The Federalist Society now has the majority. So how could they not hear a case as powerful as this? They can change the whole course of the government with this! Might even destroy the softer societies with this move, such as those that gave us the 1960-1970 decisions. This is also why they are hitting the other 9th Amendment cases hard, publicly salivating at the chance to overturn them as well. They hope to get rid of the 'rot' that led to a Supreme Court that believed in such a silly thing as... privacy and reproduction rights.

They know what they are doing. Help delay is all.

I am so ashamed of the Supreme Court justices!!

Not ALL of them. Justice Jackson, Kagan, Sotomayor all were arguing with the nonsense. Even Justice Barrett was skeptical

I am ashamed of the tiktok babies who don't listen to the entire supreme court hearings

@@partyboat123 if only you knew how your government actually works

Way to paint with a wide brush there

People like to spam empty affirmations that go nowhere Govt by People's Referenda: Peaceful Occupation of our Capitals until it's installed, or run Mascot Candidates Single Issue Referendums with thresholds and a social contract means Communities can vote their own laws. A Public Authority can audit police and prosecute bad cops in our own courts. Nationalise resources and give Indigenous peoples the right of Sovereignty over them as Guardians. This can be achieved through a General Strike or Velvet Revolution, much like the Occupy movement, peacefully occupying State Buildings until a People's Mandate can be implemented. With the appropriate checks and balances, you could have a national digital forum where qualified professionals can debate the issues in a public setting without all the disinformation and bad faith antics, hatespeech etc. Any vote would need to pass the 70% threshold, with a veto or _rewrite_ vote needing 30%. The issues would be debated, the public educated, and then a vote taken. Votes that fail will have to wait a year before trying again. Any new proposal (Citizen Initiated Referendum) would have to reach a threshold of support before it made it onto the register. This would be subject to a Social Contract (New Constitution) that forbids human rights abuses and discrimination. That can be written in the same manner based on the core principles we all share. Councils and Boards could operate in the same fashion at Scale. It works in a way that obligates people to better educate themselves ( that is to use logic and evidence in their reasoning ) for a better understanding of the issues, and then take collective responsibility for the outcomes. As opposed to the divisive US v them scapegoating and bi-partisan finger pointing the current Capitalist Pyramid Scheme runs on. We need Government by People's Referenda, either through Mascot Candidates or Peaceful Occupation of the Capitals until one is established. Make it an annual event on Oct 14

💩🙈🙉🙊🤡🤡🤡🤡🤯 facts 🫠🤢🤡🤡🤡

Truth

That profile pic lol

Yes that's why we do have CSR programs.

Are you certain? Clinton said he couldn't be depositioned in the Paula Jones case , remember ?

He is not arguing he didn't do the crime. He is arguing that he was allowed to do the crime. But, you knew that already.

But at least Clinton had an actual hearing in the senate. The senate didn’t even hold a legitimate hearing on Trump’s impeachment.

@@breakingbadheisenberg9703 Clinton said he shouldn't have to do it while in office.

@@breakingbadheisenberg9703 Sure, the Paula Jones case, how could anyone forget? Be serious

It's gold, Jerry! Gold!

the judges probably knew more about the case... maybe that thing, about selling nuclear secrets, was an 'important' point 'xD

He's probably already sold nuclear secrets

​@@AskanHelstroemThat statement caught my attention also. Makes one wonder. 🤔

Actually, they mentioned how he would be dangerous out of office prior to 2020 even. They said he would be a huge liability even without documents. And it's VERY obvious that Russia has something on him, something really big. Witnesses in the White House said he wouldn't even want to hear any intelligence on Russia. Why not?

OMgoosh, he is pure evil!!!!

Hear, hear!

It took two years for Trump to finally pay them.

@@blueberry-ri7eb If....U say so

I smell a magat !

On the other hand, if the SCOTUS rules that the President would be immune for having his rival killed...game on, Brandon

He wont be held accountable at all, and he probably beat israel joe. Murika.

I don't think it's going to heal. The crazies are out in full view and not going away. Neither are their supporters.

Abuddhaweatherby368 "I can’t wait to see Trump finally held to account . . . ." Don't hold your breath! I don't expect it to happen in my lifetime.

It looks like America is heading towards another civil war...🤨🤦🏽‍♀️🤦

Indubitably! It's absolutely abhorrent that the reality we inhabit even entertains such madness. 😢

I like it, too!!💋💖😻😻🎉🎉💙🌊🌵👵🐺🖖🍿

Yeah. I don’t think I would like it if it was this double host system every time. But every now and then it’s really awesome for the novelty. Same for various hosts. I honestly hope they never get a permanent host again lol

I'd settle for basic ethics.

at this point they should be fired and investigated. while nine monkeys and three baboons get picked.

💯 Needed. You cannot have bought justices define law for the common folks. That's absolutely undemocratic and just one leeway for the elites to get what they want in expense of justice.

Increase SCOTUS to 13, enforce Ethics, and require term limits.

@@SashaCoCo Then the next president does the same thing , where does it end ? Ethics? Senate & Congress could actually do their jobs and write some tough ethics for the Supreme Court if they wanted too.

Agreed. Even a child knows this. I am hoping the Supreme Court's "consideration" is an effort to dismiss any claims of favoritism on the part of Trump and his hairbrained supporters.

Your idea sounds like a win-win. Either they vote democracy wins for the vote for it and democracy REALLY wins!

I'm hoping it comes ton that.

Wish they'd asked trumps lawyer, so could Joe Biden assassinate his corrupt opponent as an official act then?

Thanks. I was just about to post the exact same argument. To SCOTUS: In the event you rule that Donald Trump, during his presidency, has absolute immunity, please know this: I have a little list. Sincerely, Joe Biden, _President_

Let's get Donnie Coyote a shovel and see how much he is one of us.

They were plants from the young republicans. Nothing with him is real.

But definitely does not deserve it!!!

​@@greenegirlsstudio101 ....and doesn't have it. Dictators give immunity to themselves. No one else gives or receives it.

No such thing as an honest POTUS. Grow up.

@@chetsenior7253fair, but most of the 44 previous US Presidents were not so obviously, over the top, criminal in their behavior that they called for such sweeping immunity. Neither Harding nor Nixon were granted such.

It was. Young republicans club. Cheezeball was mad about Biden’s endorsement. Just like the fake autoworkers…lame.

“Hey drumpf, how’s this bullet taste?”

He can barely make it up stairs and no one's home in there anyway so I don't think it's much of a concern lol

@@chronometer9931 Just another fact-free insulting lie, the only argument Reputincans have nowadays.

@@chronometer9931I don’t know, every speech I see of Biden these days is powerful and on point while trump goes off talking about water pressure , windmills, birds and can’t make coherent sentences.

Biden is too nice to take advantage of that

"Person, woman, man, camera, TV" - Donald Jessica Trump

He found out LoL

Both Nixon and Trump were groomed for Ptesidency by Roger Stone…convicted and sentenced, then pardoned by Trump. He’s being pretty quiet these days isn’t he?🖤🇨🇦

And pardoned for all crimes .

@@mikeystewart8869 WHALE!

They're both Jesuit Puppets Along with 33% of the Senate, and most everyone in media Call for Govt by People's Referenda, occupy the Capitals until it's in place, or run Mascot Candidates Citizen Initiated Single Issue Referendums with a 70/30 split do away with Politicians and Parties altogether Make it an annual March on Oct 14

Literally tho

Well protecting the country from harm by it's enemies definitely falls within the job description.

@@susanteeter5618 An oath says you’ll protect America from enemies both foreign and domestic. I’d say protecting America from Donald Trump would qualify as an official act. And it would also get SCOTUS to quickly reverse the decision.

Seriously if SCOTUS finds that Presidents have immunity then Biden needs to get Seal Team One to take that traitor out.

This is all staged! They got paid, they're probably not real construction workers!! It's all staged these are people are probably low rent actors.

Or paid actors.

It was a staged event. Obviously....

lol nah theyre paid actors look how clean their totally real construction worker clothing and hard hats are yeah. cause a clean consteuction worker is a totally legit thing 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 brand spanking new gear too. all of them. you dont have to be smart to fool the dipsh!t conservatives

@@cathylindeboo.9598 Or just average Joes who had a mild kicker story to tell at the end of the day for a change

The SCOTUS is making a decision about the interpretation of the constitution. That is actually their job. I get why it sounds crazy. It's an unbiased pro-right-wing SCOTUS who does the bidding of a pouting man-child.

Cry harder

@@partyboat123 who is crying? Where?

@@carn9507 three replies following my responses. I say you. You are crying and whining. Democrats refuses to address or help mental illness

He did not grow up "in" construction. He couldn't lift a hammer my friend. I personally know a construction guy who worked for Trump and never got paid! You better check your facts and quit spreading lies.

​@@partyboat123Only one crying here is you.

at least the kids and teens sleep sound at night after watching state propaganda.

This show never got better

Yeah Michael was great here!

​@@Uncanny_Mountain ...you just ruined my cup of coffee. I thought I had immunity during my cup of coffee... or, was that a cup of tea?

As long as you don't drink water. Water comes from the toilet!

Yeah but even in Idiocracy, President Camacho WANTED to do right by his country. He wasn’t a malevolent manbaby with dictator fetishes.

@@jefffogg8730 what exactly are you laughing at, because my comment is now invisible, and I wasn't aware mass executions of women and children was all that funny I think maybe it's not funny at all

personally, i wouldent stop there. i'd take out the problems on the SCOTUS, then ask the justice department to bring a case to reverse the immunity decision.... after filling the bench with qualified and ethical justices. and if the house wanted to try to impeach before it goes through, well, a few more threats to national security would have to be eliminated. then, once immunity is striken, i'd step down and request to be tried for my crimes. after all that, i know i'd have to personally demonstrate that presidents are not above the law.

No one. A huge blank spot in the guard rails.

@@ThW5 if we ever get the chance, I'm not sure tbh

And yet, here we are. Pure insanity.

I agree, we have thousands of years of precedent set, horrible human leaders, as much as the founding fathers attempted to prevent actions like these it was only a matter of time before the US took its turn. I actually think the DNC is as much to blame as anyone else. When the DNC went far left, they pushed themselves away from the working class average joe, these union workers actually think they relate to a rich NYC con man and he has their backs, when he hates unions and the working class, he is an elitist, he doesnt relate to them at all but they dont relate to the DNC either. Both parties are messed up.

Because we're living in a time where criminals have more power than actual government officials. It sickens me to death.

@TheSeptemberRose Criminals direct public officials now-- they always have, but not to this extent. Thus, in essence, knowing that's the situation, more and more of our candidates will seek elected office already assuming it will be a criminal enterprise, and they, themselves, are more and more often simply criminals posing as concerned citizens. George Santos is a perfect example. He came onto the political scene fully knowing that it is largely a criminal grift needing only a certain gift for acting to fully exploit it. He is not that unusual.
