Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Trump sued CBS for something far less...and won! C'mon Obama I know it's distasteful but sue that bastard!

Might not be criminal liability, and I don't know enough about civil liability as regards presidential immunity, but I'd think a different standard of immunity would apply for civil liability.

Well turns out he's started a criminal investigation against Obama for his time in office, in which he would be (per his own supreme court win) immune to criminal prosecution. Just more distractions from the Epstein files
