Trump In Complete Crisis Over Epstein Email: Wolff in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] Curmuffin@fedia.io 19 points 2 months ago (8 children)

A modern politician by this point would have someone heading up a crisis management team, and a team leader setting out a unified strategy who is laser-focused on executing. I get that Wolff is saying that no one wants to be "responsible" but it's baffling to me that Trump (or someone who needs his political stock to remain high) hasn't at least brought in someone outside the admin to handle this. Trump used to be surrounded by fixers--is he so hobbled that no one is willing to take this on?

I'd have thought that Vance liked a bit more "cushion for the pushin'" than that. Guess he'll take what he can get. Which in this case is Charlie Kirk's professional widow.

Judges Order Trump to Pay for SNAP, Killing His Shutdown Strategy in c/politics@lemmy.world

The ruling which states that SCOTUS itself is the final arbiter of what constitutes an "official act." So if (lol) there's ever a non-GOP president again, SCOTUS has the ability to take away Presidential Immunity whenever asked to rule on a relevant case. A neat trick that everyone seemed to forget during the Biden admin.
