Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
My liberal coworkers are coping by "well that's fine because unofficial acts can still be prosecuted"
I could love to live with this level of delusion
Yeah I've seen the same take.
Are they really stupid enough to think that Trump (and future Republicans) wouldn't just label everything an official act as a direct consequence?
Edit: I mean he could quite literally go on 5th Avenue now if reelected, declare "I, PRESIDENT TRUMP, AM OFFICIALLY BLOWING IT OUT YOUR ASS" and gun someone down.
🤣
good thing the decision doesn't cover that base by saying exercises of constitutional authority are official acts lmao
Ask them if the verdict for those unofficial acts can still be appealed to the Supreme Court lmao
Sorry sweaty whether or not an act is official is a political decision and not subject to review by the courts
Ah, well nevertheless
