On immunity, and indicting Biden.

If the president does it, it’s not illegal. Where have I heard that before?

If he thinks he has Presidential blanket immunity for anything he did while president, then he ought to be shouting from the rooftops that people need to leave Biden alone - everything he does is perfectly legal and fine since he's the president - and we all know they have complete immunity. Right?

Likely what rda posted earlier in spoiler tag. It won't let me copy the text, so you'll have to go there and read for yourself.

I'm currently reading a book by Erik Larson called In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin. [He wrote Devil in the White City for which he's probably best known - a murder at the world's fair in Chicago] This book tell of events in Berlin (and Germany in general) during 1933 and a few years after, concentrating on the American ambassador to Germany, William Dodd. He was an academic with connections which is how he ended up as an ambassador from without the ranks of government or foreign service ranks (he'd lived in Germany and gone to school there. His debutante-ish daughter Martha is a feature in the book as well.raison de arizona wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 8:19 pm From the all publicity is good publicity department, we bring you this week's New Yorker cover.

They were both writers, so there is a pretty good record of their experiences and thoughts from that time. So many parallels to today it's chilling - no one thinks Hitler is as crazy as he seems; President Hindenburg and the others will hold him in check, etc. In 1934, when Hitler sends his SS to kill/quash the SA (the much-hated and violent Brown Shirts), the populace is mostly placated and glad he did it. Even though Jews were terribly persecuted - they were being banned from jobs, etc at this time, only about 1/20th of them left the country.
Anyway, all that to say - that magazine cover called that book to my mind. All there in plain sight and it's so bizarre and yet gradual, it's impossible to believe. During the 2020 election when he said "we'll see" or something about not leaving office if he lost, I thought it was just his bloviating and big talk. Others said, no, he means it and I just couldn't wrap my mind around that, even though his disorders had been out there on display for all those years. And should have seen it since I had a parent much like him.
Highly recommend this book if you are interested in Germany prior to WW2 or even Germany's invasion of Sudentenland or Poland or how the administration viewed Hitler/Germany during this time period.

To me the question isn't the leader willing to do anything. There's always that guy. It's the thousands (or millions) who go along with it and even facilitate it. What is wrong with all of them?

He knows its not an actual dome. As POTUS or even POTUS-elect, they would have showed him early on how it works.

I believe he is stealing the relative success of Israels Iron Dome in the recent Hamas and Hizbollah attacks.
The Israeli system was only overwhelmed in the first day of attack when Hamas threw an unprecedented number of missiles accross the border of Gaza. He totally ingores the recent successes in Ukraine (he does not intend to support them, not?) where the now elderly Patriot systems have taken down many of the missiles launched against Kiev and other cities, even getting down the once feared hypersonic units. Patriot has also be claimed to be behind the loss of 3, and another two, advanced Russian bombers in the Kherson/Crimea region.
The former guy is truly losing it in this clip when he pretends "MIT students" were actually taking down incoming stuff. No country had in the past decades ever launched any missiles against the US. Ony his BFF Kim threatens to do this at the moment (and the former guy does not rebuke that rethoric). Apart that the "MIT students" were probably working in the military complex building the toys. It's airfore and army running the SAM systems.

Author of Trump’s FRAUDULENT Evidence Finally OUTED
MeidasTouch
9 Jan 2024
New reporting has “outed” Trump MAGA political consultant Liz Harrington as the likely author of Trump’s phony 32-page fabricated voter fraud report that his lawyers cited in their legal brief filed with the DC Court of Appeals in advance of this week’s oral argument on whether Trump is immune from prosecution. Michael Popok of Legal AF analyzes what preparing and submitting phony evidence to a federal appellate court means for Trump’s lawyers and Trump.

This is what I thought about when he started talking about the dome.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_the_Dome_(novel)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_the_Dome_(novel)
As it's a Stephen King novel, you can guess it didn't go well.Under the Dome is a 2009 science fiction novel by American author Stephen King. It is the 58th book published by King, and it is his 48th novel. The novel focuses on a small Maine town, and tells an intricate, multi-character, alternating perspective story of how the town's inhabitants contend with the calamity of being suddenly cut off from the outside world by an impassable, invisible glass dome-like barrier that seemingly falls out of the sky, transforming the community into a domed city.

For those unaware, in the 2007 The Simpsons Movie, Springfield is placed under a large dome by the EPA for violating pollution laws.
Stephen King himself claims that he had the idea well before that movie came out, and I’m also fairly positive that he was probably writing the book itself for years, it just happened to be published in 2009.
Another interesting possibility I read somewhere is the fact that SK plays (played?) music with Matt Groening, so it’s possible some concepts were discussed and both kinda went with the dome idea? The Simpsons Movie is much more about the Simpsons themselves being outside the dome, trying to save Springfield, whereas the book is mostly focused on the struggles inside the dome, so there’s really no plot overlaps or similarities other than the “dome placed over small town” concept.
Anyway, I watched The Simpsons Movie last night for the first time since it came out, and of course immediately thought of SK, because when I first saw that movie, the book didn’t exist yet.
