      I am simply noting the plain fact, that the reason for the invasion occurring is its being ordered by the president. Hence, the order is an “official act” as defined. Why are you shouting, instead of reading and thinking?

        An official act outside of his office’s authority or capacity is not official, or else the term applies to everything, including brushing his teeth.

      Urgh, they are not “defending donald trump”. They are just commenting that due to the us supreme court the united states is no longer a nation under the rule of law and the constitution is more or less a dead document now. Sorry you had to find out on Lemmy about that.

          No it would be defending him if they said trump should not be held responsible, good thing that was not said. As far as “cannot” goes they are (correctly) pointing out that at this moment there is not a court in the us of a that will hold trump responsible.

            Donald Trump was seeing trial until 77 Million assholes put him back in, and 9 Million assholes who voted for Biden stayed home for Harris.

            They can and should see trial. We need to be demanding this, now. We need to be putting our efforts towards that outcome. We cannot just sit around, resigned to our fates, and see how it plays out.

              You need to do more, yes. We are not all american and at this point I don’t think your nation has the ability to hold a trial much less stick to a punishment.
