During Thursday's Supreme Court hearing, Trump lawyer John Sauer was made to look foolish trying to defend his claim that the president would get immunity even if he assassinates his political rival. Justice Sotomayor was not amused. Sotomayor: Your answer below, I'm going to give you a chance to say if you stay by it – if the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military or orders someone to assassinate him, is that within his official acts for which he can get immunity? Sauer: It would depend on the hypothetical, but we can see that could well be an official act. Sotomayor: It could.

    On Real America's Voice, controversial Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accidentally told the truth, and the Democrats should use this as an ad against Republicans. Thanks, Marge! She keeps doing this, but I'm not going to stop her. "They're (Americans) looking at Republicans in Washington and laughing at us," Marge said.

    BoBo is having such a lousy day that even Rep. Rapey McForehead left her standing there alone. Republicans lined up to attend Donald Trump's criminal trial, and Rep. Lauren Boebert's son, Tyler, attended court by himself. And I'm sure the jury noticed that, once again, the defendant's wifebot was not by his side.

    On Fox and Friends earlier this morning, the trifecta of Trump propagandists discussed the upcoming presidential debates and the fate of poor, defenseless RFK Junior. The rabid vaccine denier and brainworm victim isn't eligible to be on the debate stage, but Fox News is still trying to use him against Biden. Enter Lawrence Jones. "Well, it looks like the person that's mostly blocking it is Joe Biden," he said.
