And the complete absurdity of Trump's SCOTUS voting 9-0 for returning him home and Trump just said nah...

Not just that, his press secretary claimed that the supreme court voted in their favor! I know they lie blatantly all the time but this was surprising even for them.

Almost like he’s never had a consequence and…he’s actually right on this one. No one will do anything about it.

Aliens will come here and ask “oh so you all bow to them because they can breathe acid and are resistant to small arms fire?” and we’ll look them in their faces and say “no, they’re actually pretty average and some are shockingly unhealthy and weak. Pretty much all their power is comes directly from what we give them for money, as they aren’t even particularly clever. We just…I dunno, can’t? I guess?”

It's been lost in the excitement, but before the presidency, one of the concerns about a second Donald Trump presidency was that the US supreme court had ruled, not long prior, that the President just has immunity against criminal prosecution for some things.

It would hardly be a stretch to push that into no-one can do anything about it, because it's legally permissable, as long as he does it officially.

Not a lawyer, let alone an American Federal one, but I am rather curious if that immunity could extend to just outright ignoring parts of the legal system. Contempt of Court might well be unenforceable because of it, so the court system is basically toothless where the presidency is concerned.
