  I’m not sure this had anything to do with transphobia. The attackers just sound homophobic; they probably saw her hair and don’t know or care that the slur they picked isn’t for girls. It’s sad that she’s going through this. Their girlfriends robbing them after they had been beaten down speaks volumes about what sort of people they are.

  Not quite. The office of the President already had legal immunity for official acts, the only thing that SC ruling did was reiterate that and also stymie efforts to pursue a legal case against him by buying more time for him to get re-elected. That last part came from having to refer a case to the SC if there was a question over whether or not something was “official”. If we had a functional SC that wasn’t assisting the Executive, it wouldn’t have been a big deal.

  Unless the American people vote out the majority of politicians who want to protect Trump to further their own agendas, there will continue to be an evisceration of decorum. He has no true legal protection, just political ones.

  Speaking from experience, the Epoch Times is an incredibly questionable source. They regularly publish conspiracy theories, lies, and they’re owned by the Falun Gong. Every once in a while a sample issue is sent out with some factual reporting (and a conservative bias, which is fine) to get people to subscribe and fall into the really ridiculous stuff. Re: your bias site, I do not know.
