I think one of the not so great gifts of being transgender, but an eye opening situation nevertheless, is the opportunity to see much of humanity reveal itself to be regrettably unworthy of drawing breath and expending other valuable resources to exist on this planet.
It's a shame that some species of finch or perhaps a vole of some kind didn't evolve to be the dominant species of Earth.
It all might have panned out differently.
California is an oil-rich, natural paradise, with some of the most fertile farm on planet Earth.
It takes serious effort to ruin it.
Statement Rep Adam Schiff
Today’s Supreme Court decision on Donald Trump’s immunity claim is far worse than anything I imagined.
Effectively giving a president immunity for any crimes committed while in office as long as that president can plausibly claim the action was taken in some form of official capacity.
It must now be presumed that the president, as king, is immune from accountability.
The rule of law applies to everyone except the most powerful person on Earth.
It would be difficult to overstate how much this opinion shifts the balance of power away from Congress and towards the presidency, and how unshackled a corrupt president will now be. The Court gives the president absolute power, and it will corrupt him, absolutely.
As Justice Sotomayor says so powerfully, this new immunity ‘now lies about like a loaded weapon’ for any President that wishes to place his own interests, his own political survival, or his own financial gain, above the interests of the Nation.’
